KATE is available through Fink. I'm not certain what specific package, 
although kdeutils3 or kdevelop seems likely.

I'd really like to reiterate the suggestion to try JEdit.  It used to 
have some problems on OS X, but in 4.2 Final they are cleared up.  It 
has everything with the SFTP, multi-file search/replace with regex 
(better than BBEdit's in IMO), and all that fancy stuff, the only thing 
it doesn't currently have to my knowledge is the ability to execute a 
script from the program.  However, with it's plugin architecture I 
believe this will come in the future.

As long as someone brought up jEdit, I'll toss in my 2 cents...
You can execute scripts from jEdit, there are a number of ways, using 
the console plugin, a commando file, a macro, etc... Perhaps the problem 
is that there are multiple ways of doing things, so there's not the "one 
true way" to do something, but asking on the mailing list usually gets 
you some good answers.

A few other nice things about jEdit are: active development, good 
support, open-source, multi-platform... and if you like to customize, 
extend, and hack the heck out of your editor, it's ready, willing, and 
able...

Help! (with sendmail after upgrade)

2004-09-13 Thread John Horner 
I upgraded a mac used as a webserver from 10.1 to 10.2 a week or so ago.
I've just found out that no emails have been sent by perl scripts since then.
When I ran the offending scripts, they complained about missing 
folders: /var/spool/clientmqueue/ and /var/spool/mqueue/ -- I created 
those folders and set permissions, and now scripts run without any 
errors, but the emails are not sent.

Any ideas? Here's a test script which runs without any problems, but 
no email is sent (or, to be logical, no email is received):

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
$mailprog = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -i -t';
open(MAIL,"|$mailprog") || die "$!";
print MAIL "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" || die "$!";
print MAIL "From:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]" || die "$!";
print MAIL "Subject: Test of Email Script\n\n"|| die "$!";
print MAIL "Test of Email Script\n"|| die "$!";
close (MAIL) || die "$!";
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print "ran with no problems?";
