FW: [MacPerl] MacPerl/Tk

["William H. Asquith" <asquith@macconnect.com>]

Thanks for all the Tk advice on Mac-OS and MacPerl, but Wish has to have an 
internet connection to talk to MacPerl--is this always true.   PerlWish.pm 
evidently has been modified since the listed steps were valid.  Here goes:\

lineno.   commands
(269)     $self->{WishPort} = defined( $port ) ? $port : 1117;
(270)     $self->{PerlWish_tcl} = defined( $path_to_PerlWish_tcl ) ?
$path_to_PerlWish_tcl : "PerlWish.tcl";
(271)     $self->{ReadFromWish} = $self->{WriteToWish} = \*PerlWish_Socket;
(272)     $self->{Logging} = 0;
(273)     $self->{BytesToReadFromSocketAtATime} = 1024;
(274)     $self->{WishPid} = 0;
(275)
(276)     $self->{Localhost} = ($^O eq 'MacOS') ? '127.0.0.1' : '127.0.0.1';

I modified line 276 from ? '127.0.0.1' : 'localhost' to the above.  Assuming
that this line was 253, I counted back to 271 and commented it out.  But
that didn't work.  However, Wish is working except that it seems to require
an internet connection to work.  Can I configure things to loop back on
myself?  Is my connection requirement related to the line that I should
comment out?

Here is my error from MacPerl if I run with 271 commented out
# Use of uninitialized value.
File ':PerlWish.pm'; Line 522
# Bad symbol for filehandle.
File ':PerlWish.pm'; Line 522
