Re: [MacPerl] Oneliner problems?

David,

Since I don't see the usual helpful replies, I'll chip in an answer:

In the one-liner dialog window, try typing in:

    perl -w -e 'print "It truly works.\\n";'
(             ^ There is an obnoxious complaint if this space is missing  .)

The 'idea' of one-liners is to be able to type in the same obnoxiously-quoted
and back-slash-doubled PERL one-line command needed for a UNIX shell
and have it executed similarly by MacPerl.

A word-to-the-wise:  It's hard to give a MacPerl one-liner the idea of
current working directory.
