Kevin, It is a nice clock! As a neophyte my comments are that: 1) that it got me to re-install MacPerl off the CD in the book (my prior install didn't understand "Mac::*") so that's all to the good. 2) However, even with that fresh install, the following results in a syntax error message: > >END {$win->dispose} > In any case, it will be useful sample code.
