Hi, I have updated to the new CamelBones, but I am still having the problem of NSObject->isEqual not working properly.
To recap the thread below, I am calling -isEqual on cocoa components (I think NSButtons), and it returns values, which do not work as booleans in Perl (maybe a memory address). real code is here: http://bitbucket.org/thiloplanz/perlpad/src/tip/MyWindowController.pm#cl-229 $sender->isEqual($self->{PerlInputButton}) returns something like "44858369" This used to work back in the old days... Any idea on how I can fix or workaround this issue? Thanks, Thilo >> Have you tried -isEqual: for other classes?
