Re: [MacPerl] "runtime version" problem

Max,

There are actually three solutions.  Most modules are housed in the "lib" folder
inside the MacPerl folder.  You can:

1)  Copy the respective module file(s) or folder(s) into the same directory as
the runtime--in the case below, copy the whole "mac" directory (or create a
"mac" directory and copy only the "files" file);

2)  Put at the beginning of your script where you would normally place require
or use statements, "use lib HD:Apps:MacPerl:lib:" where the example path shown
is an absolute path to the MacPerl lib directory;

3)  Use the perl droplet RuintimeBuilder.dp that was built by Michael Ziege
<ziege@ito.umnw.ethz.ch>.  I haven't used it much, and I don't remember where to
get it, but I am sure you can pass a friendly note and find that out.  The
purpose of the droplet is to embed modules into the runtime so you don't have to
be concerned about their location or distribution.

Hope this helps.
