I've taken the liberty of adding flushing to it, so:


BEGIN { open STDERR, ">errorlog" or die $!;
	$| = 1;
      }
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use sigtrap;
use Net::SMTP;
require 'hash-it.pm';


It did not crash (wow!) and here is what came to errorlog:

# Ambiguous use of {index} resolved to {"index"}.
File 'MPW:MacPerl Ÿ:lib:Mac:InternetConfig.pm'; Line 501
# Ambiguous use of {index} resolved to {"index"}.

    (W) An undefined value was used as if it were already defined.  It was
    interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake.  To suppress this
    warning assign an initial value to your variables.

Those are not _my_ problem.

But it did cause Hash-It.pm to spit out the following message (it does this
because Hash-It installs a SIG{__DIE__} handler):

I've seen "h is not of type Handle during global destruction." a LOT. And I
know that if I run the script again, my mac WILL freeze. Time to quit
MacPerl!
