Re: Problems installing DBD::mysql
I am wondering if you are having the same problem I am. I keep finding perl modules where the developer has made no allowance for the mixture of 32 bit and 64 bit Macs, and then the binaries won't compile. I have no good workaround, I am not enough of a Makefile expert to fix the flags.

Re: Web Apps
Thanks for the info - I was interested in iPad apps, but put off by the $99 just to download and look over the SDK. A web app sounds better - you wouldn't have to write a different one for every smartphone. -Original Message- From: Bill Stephenson bi...@ezinvoice.com Sent: Feb 21, 2010 4:19 PM To: Perl MacOSX macosx@perl.org Subject: Web Apps I started playing with iPhone/iTouch/iPad web apps just last week. http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/navigation/ index.html#section=Resource%20Typestopic=Coding%20How-Tos Apple has made it incredibly easy to create a web app that runs exactly like a native app on these devices. Of course, perl is a perfect server side language to power these apps, and BBEdit and Perl on a Mac make the perfect IDE to create these web apps. While poking around there I also found out that Safari on the Mac OS also provides some big enhancements for web based apps now too. Check this out: Safari on iPhone, Mac OS X, and Windows all implement the Offline Web Applications feature of HTML5. This feature allows you to cache all of the resource files for your web application on the client, improving the load time of your application and making it possible to create an application which is fully functional even when there is no network connection. (source: http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/codinghowtos/Desktop/ DataManagement/index.html) This is actually fulfilling a vision I expressed right here waaay back in 2005: http://www.mail-archive.com/macosx@perl.org/msg08946.html Geez, It's like they've been working all this time for me entirely for free ;) Seriously, according to the news this week it now looks like most all Smart Phone makers will adapt a similar, if not the same, approach to web based apps that run on these devices. Think about it, Apple knows that laptops and desktops need to be able to run these same applications because it provides a fast and inexpensive way for developers to integrate the use of these applications with these different devices. Users want that, and they want them to Feel like a native application too. Apple is essentially giving them that. So, looking forward it's easy to imagine that many Native apps will really be Web Apps. The client side will contain the necessary tools to run them. Updates and upgrades happen at the atomic level on the server side and are instant and seamless and distributed as soon as the software is accessed. (that's something I learned right here ;) The advantages to developers both small and large are huge. I now believe this is exactly where Apple is heading and as you can imagine, I'm absolutely thrilled about it :) -- Bill Stephenson

Re: Installing ImageMagick - how to guide
Very helpful - I need the Intel hint. Couple of quibbles - you should use make check, not make test.

I've used Spreadsheet::WriteExcel in the past for writing formulas, formatting, etc., with no problems, but the ODBC connection is new to me. I tried it manually (just opening a blank spreadsheet and connecting to a remote MySQL server) last night using Actual's ODBC client demo and that worked fine. The WriteExcel docs are a bit vague [to me] on connecting to an ODBC source, though. Has anyone done this via Spreadsheet::WriteExcel? Do you mind passing along a couple hints? Would this require any customer/client to have an ODBC client on their system for this to work? If so, I may just go with static data and have the customer pick up a new spreadsheet each time. Also, as mentioned above I'm using Actual's ODBC client. Is there a better client out there? Or an Open Source one that's competitive? Thanks. -- Mike Schienle
Re: [OT] Text Editor for OSX
Actually, BBEdit takes a pretty liberal view. I actually called them one time to see if they had a multiple copy discount, since I have 3 computers, and they said I really only needed two, since I am the only user of the laptop and one of the desktops. I actually tried Emacs. I'm a Solaris Sysadmin, and it was way too counterintuitive. I quickly returned to VI. The learning curve on BBEdit is such that you can be productive the first time you open a file, but you continually discover a better way to do it. If you INSIST on free, try vim (http://www.vim.org) or NEdit (http://www.nedit.org/). -Original Message- From: Pete Prodoehl [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Oct 4, 2004 5:40 AM To: MacPerlOSX [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [OT] Text Editor for OSX Ken Williams wrote: On Oct 3, 2004, at 9:46 AM, wren argetlahm wrote: (SubEthaEdit since my copy of BBEdit is Classic and a new one costs way to much for my budget).

Re: OS Poll
Erik Price at 8:21 AM 9/21/02 Apple clearly isn't too smart, at least in how they've numbered their releases. But that's why they simply can't skip to 10.5, because they've set a doom clock on their operating system. After OS X 10.9, what will it be? OS X 11.0 ? OS X 10.10 ? That's going to look kind of stupid from a advertising/marketing perspective. You won't see Apple jumping major version numbers, I'll put money on that.

Re: Why do the Docs say download binaries, don't compile ?
I have a bad habit of reading through the instructions. At http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/src/README.html it states: * Binary distributions of perl (executable programs) for particular platforms. See the ports directory at the top level of CPAN. If your system does not have a C compiler, you should probably be looking at that directory; if it does have a C compiler, stick around here. As a special case, if you have a Macintosh, go straight to the ports directory anyway.

Re: Locale and 5.8.0 (1 More Mac guy having Unix trouble)
As long as you only need US English access, you will be fine, since that's the default for the C setting. If for some reason you need non-english (especially a non-European Character set), you will need to read up on locale. This is not perl-specfic. Most unix text processing programs take advantage of this mechanism.
