I did. 
5.2.0r4 (17Apr98) was installed already.

Nice if it would.

As said in my yesterday email:
I freshly installed "Mac-AppleEvents-Simple-0.80.tgz" plus "Mac::Apps::Launch".
I tested Mac::AppleEvents with the ProgressBar example. This works. The Launch
module test runs well too.

When running:
#####
use Mac::AppleEvents::Simple;
use Mac::Files;  # for NewAliasMinimal
$alias = NewAliasMinimal(scalar MacPerl::Volumes);
do_event(qw/aevt odoc MACS/, "'----':alis(\@\@)", $alias);
#####

I get:
#####
# Undefined subroutine &Mac::AppleEvents::Simple::typeObjectSpecifier called.
File 'Fressplatte:Programme:MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl:Mac:AppleEvents:Simple.pm'; Line 342
# BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
File 'Fressplatte:Programme:MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl:Mac:AppleEvents:Simple.pm'; Line 352
# BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
File '<AppleEvent>'; Line 1
#####

When syntax checking "Simple.pm" I get the same error message.
I cross checked this on a second Mac. Same results. I'm stuck. Help!
