[MacPerl] dialog box problems

["Noe Dinnerstein: President, BodhiSoftWare" <norbu108@tuna.net>]

Hi all,

I'm progressing through the MacPerl book and am writing a script to search
files in various directories of a CD.   I have written  dialogue box with
descriptive text, a cancel button, a "search" button and an edit text
field.   The dialog window comes up, but then seem not to be invoking the
handlers.   The search framework (still a skeleton) seems never to be
reached.   I am unable to abort the script with command-period, and have to
force MacPerl to quit.   If I try running the script with debug on, I get
an out of memory error.   I'm running MacPerl 5.2.0r4 with System 8.5 on a
PowerBook 1400c with a Newer G3 upgrade and 64 Megs of RAM.  I'm including
the code.  Any help would be appreciated.  Hopefully it's some dumb,
simple, newbie error.
