And again, we're talking Perl here; I can't even work out how that screen shot is related at all; where did it come from. Just copy the error message from the text output. Again, we're talking Perl. That is way off the beam. The issue is a 32/64 bit one and can be resolved by a perl version plist Prefer-32-Bit. But that's nasty thing to do IMHO. Umm, you know the solution? Then why are you asking for help? Or, you know of 'a' solution but don't share that with us so we can help you find a better solution? You've got to put some effort into helping us to help you. If you don't give us all the facts that you know (or think) might be relevant, how do you expect non-mind readers to assist? The errors arise from a call 'use Mac::OSA;'. It's broken and I gather will never be fixed. I'm not the author, so can't say. What dit the author say? Hmm, that's part of the Mac::Carbon distro. Doesn't surprise me in the slightest that it's not getting ongoing love. There are newer (better?) ways of doing things these days. And from what I can tell; it's not broken at all. It's not advertised as 64-bit compatible. Maybe your system is broken since it doesn't have a 32-bit perl. You can compile for yourself you know. I have taken it out of the script and done the job another way. Since we're still having to be mind-readers to know what your ultimate goal is, and knowing that with Perl TIMTOWTDI almost always holds true, a different solution doesn't surprise me. I can take heaps of guesses at what you really wanted to do, but that's not what you asked. I suggested some ways to solve the question you asked.

Using Mac::Glue to convert alias string to posix path
Good morning, I am using Mac::Glue to get alias style strings from a FileMaker database. I need to convert the string into a posix style path for manipulation in perl. I realize that Mac::Glue will convert an alias to posix path when doing a 'get'. But how do I convert the string into an alias? I'm trying to do the equivalent of the following AppleScript: set file_path to HD:Users:charlie:test_file set file_str to (POSIX path of file_path) as string -- returns /Users/charlie/test_file This is the perl version I'm trying: use Mac::Glue ':glue'; my $app = new Mac::Glue 'System_Events'; my $file_path = HD:Users:charlie:test_file; my $file_str = $app-get($file_path, as = 'posix_path'); #my $file_str = $app-obj($file_path, as = 'posix_path'); #my $file_str = $app-get($file_path, as = 'posix_file'); #my $file_str = $app-get($file_path, as = 'alias'); print $file_str\n; # want /Users/charlie/test_file I have tried different variations, and none of them are working. Maybe I'm approaching the problem the wrong way. Can anyone suggest how to convert an alias string into a posix path string?

I thought about that, but was put off by the fact that

reverse-looking up one field, so it might work. I have
an estimated 1-10 lookups per database entry, of which
there are ~500 right now. So there might be time

Exactly, which is why I ask that you post the solution here if you find
something more elegant. It feels like a sledgehammer solution to me, but I've
yet to find anything better.

How about using a different data structure? Maybe a
hash of hashes would
work better. If the value of $xml_index is unique,
$xml_index is unique (as is the name value), but the
reason for the array is to sort the entries into an
order which doesn't necessarily correlate with
$xml_index or the name, and I look things up by their
order more often than their $xml_index.
I also agree with Fred's solution, but only for data which doesn't need to be
sorted (which I assumed was the case for you). It is possible to expand on
Fred's solution to save the initial ordering by also using a 'sort_val' key
into each hash. But that starts getting just as complex:
%names = ({sort_val=1, data={xml_index='a', name='abc'}},
{sort_val=2, data={xml_index='d', name='def'}} );
But then you need to do the same thing for each key that you need to do
lookups for. Each 'data' hash can be referred to with references so that you
only need one copy across all lookup hashes, but it still uses more memory.
Can anyone offer an elegant solution for a data structure that maintains
sorted order as well as access to data for a (primary) key?

for my $i (0.. @names-1) {
if ($names[$i]{'xml_index'} == $xml_index){

So in addition to @names, I would also have %name_xml ( maybe %name_vals
too).
@names = ({xml_index='a', name='abc'}, {xml_index='d', name='def'});
%name_xml = (a=1, d=2); # hash value is index into @names for
# matching xml_index
%name_vals = (abc=1, def=2);
You could then do a lookup in @names as:
$val = $names[$name_xml{'a'}]{'name'};
Which works fine, but I'm pretty sure there has to be
a more efficient way to do it that will save cycles.
The above will (obviously) take longer to create the data structures and will
use much more memory. So if you only have the occasional lookup to do, it
won't save you anything. But if you have lots of lookups to do, it will save
you time.

Can someone give me an idea if that's the most appropriate module? If not, are there other recommendations? It will depend largely on what sort of html documents you have (simple text/tables vs complex layout with lots of images) and what features you need in the resulting pdf (bookmarks, clickable links, etc). I have been using html2ps for a few years. Its feature list is pretty basic, and it was written years ago.
