My glues You simply need to run gluemac /path/to/app. You may need sudo, too. For example: sudo gluemac /Applications/BBEdit.app This creates the glue file and the POD file (which can be read with gluedoc BBEdit). Ah! That sounds terrific. I guessed there must be some way to build the glue, as in Frontier. The only problem is that I get sudo: gluemac: command not found Eremita:~ jd$ man gluemac No manual entry for gluemac Eremita:~ jd$ so how do I get that working? All my Mac::Carbon etc. stuff is fully up to date so far as I know. sudo find / -name gluemac -print gives me /System/Library/Perl/Extras/bin/gluemac Now, if /System/Library/Perl/Extras/bin should be added to the PATH or a symlink created in some other place is perhaps a matter of personal taste.
Re: Waiting until Acrobat closes file

In my experience, the `open` command immediately returns control to
the
controlling process (the shell, or whatever else invoked it (pine
etc))
without waiting for the `open`ed application to finish, or for that
matter even to finish launching.
which is why processes have to be monitored manually...
I'm quite confident that David meant
system('/Applications/Adobe Reader 7.0.7/Adobe Reader 7.0.7.app/
Contents/MacOS/Adobe Reader', 'myfile.pdf');
using acroread as shorthand
This will block as long as the process is running, to just wait while
the document is open, I'd probably try monitoring
`lsof | grep myfile.pdf`;
after system ('open',...
unless you can arrange for Acrobat to quit, which however would cause
a lot of time wasted for launching if you will process more than one
document...
(I assume the the full Acrobat can be controlled using Mac::Glue, but
this does not seem possible for the Reader)

Maybe you could grab the first line, parse, and then slurp the rest accordingly? * Actually hook into the Mac libraries and let the OS parse it and give me back the data. That's the best solution, but only if I give up being pure-Perl and portable, which are both very important to me. I will gladly add something to do that if someone writes it for me, but alongside the pure Perl version. Wouldn't it make sense to use some XML kit? Or am I exposing my innocence by assuming those should take care of the encoding?

The lock file is actually two files file.pag and file.dir so I would suggest you try DAVLockDB /Library/WebServer/Locks/DAVlock and chown www:www /Library/WebServer/Locks to allow apache to create files as needed

Am I on a mailing list, or something, what seems to be a mailing list, but is connected to a use group? (I am blushing!) When I installed MySql, php and Apache 2 on my laptop, I chose a different route and it seems to me that it is important to keep the default install of Apache (1.3.33) separate mentally since they are different versions. I can run both at the same time on different ports but can not start Apache 1 before starting Apache 2 since Apache 2 checks for another running instance of any other version. Ohh, you are lucky, I tried this for two weeks now! But impossible to install Bundle::DBD::mysql and mod_perl Your question, actually as I read it, really isn't a perl question, it is an Apache configuration question. I think there is something wrong with my root and user account. I am the only user on my Laptop, but I was able to install Apache2 as root only (see my first posting). Have you located and/or created the error log cited in the error message you sent and tried re-starting Apache 2 ensuring that the default version is NOT running? % which apachectl /usr/sbin/apachectl is this the apple Apache or the new one? ahh! this is interesting: % apachectl fullstatus Not Found The requested URL /server-status was not found on this server. _ Apache/1.3.33 Server at markslap.local Port 80 when trying to start the server, it is only possible with sudo: % apachectl start Processing config directory: /private/etc/httpd/users/*.conf fopen: Permission denied httpd: could not open error log file /private/var/log/httpd/error_log. /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started % sudo !! sudo apachectl start Password: /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd (pid 5898) already running aha! there it is!
