I'm having a problem using the enclosed script with BBedit 6.02, if i try to run it without telling BBedit to make MacPerl the frontmost app, the MacPerl app window doesn't fully open, a progress window is thrown up by BBedit and nothing else happens; when I try to kill this process using the command + period combo it has no effect - the close button on the progress window is greyed out. I the only way I've managed to wrest control back is by force quitting (usually just BBedit and MacPerl). The script itself runs under the MacPerl app as one would expect it to - anyone else care to try (save it into the scripts folder and try running it)? ==script follows== #! perl -w #=========== declare includes ============= use strict; use diagnostics-verbose; use Mac::StandardFile; #========== declare variables ============= my($file,@FileInfo,$comma); #============= script body ================ $comma="\'"; $file=StandardGetFile(0,0) or die"there\'s a problem getting the file info: $^E"; if ($file->sfGood()) {@FileInfo=MacPerl::GetFileInfo($file->sfFile());} print "creator code= $comma$FileInfo[0]$comma file type= $comma$FileInfo[1]$comma\n"; print "path to file = $comma",$file->sfFile(),"$comma\n"; #========= sub routine separator =========== # ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? # ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org
