Long answer: When you pass a Perl object to a Cocoa method, a ObjC stand-in is created, but not retained. Ordinarily, if the receiving object needs access to it later, it retains the passed-in object. NSOutlineView doesn't follow this cardinal rule of Cocoa memory management - it needs to access the same objects at a later time, but it doesn't retain them itself. Thanks. The long answer is what I was looking for. Is it possible to instantiate proxy objects (of type NSObject?) in perl and assign them references to the perl objects which can be dereferenced in the callbacks, or do I have to either use an NSDictionary as in the OutlineView example or use e.g, NSStrings containing a key (path) to the perl object stored in an instance variable? It's funny that everything but the deferencing the current row (including the edit callbacks) seem to work properly. rick
PerlObjects and OutlineView problems
I have created an outline field w/ perl objects as the items. Everything works ok until I dereference the items in either a doubleClick (as in the OutlineView example) or via itemAtRow, at which point the item is corrupted (the objectForItem value is blanked out and a Bizarre copy of CODE error is thrown the next time the item is requested in the objectValeForTableColumn selector. If I do a $sender-reloadData in the selector everything is fine, but of course this collapses the outline and looses the selection. Is this a bug or is there a fundamental reason why perl objects can't be used as outline items? tia, rick
Re: Windows and Camelbones
This is probably for Sherm-
I am trying to open a non-modal NSOpenPanel. As a simple test, I
modified the CamelBones FileViewer:
$openPanel-beginForDirectory_file_types_modelessDelegate_didEndSelector_contextInfo(
$self-{'_openPath'}, '', $fileTypes, $self,
'openPanelDidEnd:returnCode:contextInfo:', undef
);
When invoked, the panel flashes on screen and disappears. It does not
invoke the end selector.
Is this a bug in my understanding/implementation or camelbones? or
is something else broken (FWIW, OSX 1.3.5)

Yep, the same thing happens in perl 5.8.0 under Mac OS X 10.2.1,
except it happens when it is longer than 927 characters.
Looks like quite a robust bug. I wonder if it is even Mac OS X specific.
Nope. Happens at different lengths on 2 debian linux boxes:

stable w/perl 5.6.1 30830

What about updating make to deal with the difference between a file called INSTALL and a tag install rather than just blindly using the file system. Heck, even a special case for install/INSTALL would resolve a lot of problems - perhaps even just a special build for Mac OS X that dealt with the issue. Another approach (for gnu make). From make.info: Phony Targets = A phony target is one that is not really the name of a file. It is just a name for some commands to be executed when you make an explicit request. There are two reasons to use a phony target: to avoid a conflict with a file of the same name, and to improve performance. If you write a rule whose commands will not create the target file, the commands will be executed every time the target comes up for remaking. Here is an example: clean: rm *.o temp Because the `rm' command does not create a file named `clean', probably no such file will ever exist. Therefore, the `rm' command will be executed every time you say `make clean'. The phony target will cease to work if anything ever does create a file named `clean' in this directory. Since it has no prerequisites, the file `clean' would inevitably be considered up to date, and its commands would not be executed. To avoid this problem, you can explicitly declare the target to be phony, using the special target `.PHONY' (*note Special Built-in Target Names: Special Targets.) as follows: .PHONY : clean Once this is done, `make clean' will run the commands regardless of whether there is a file named `clean'. Since it knows that phony targets do not name actual files that could be remade from other files, `make' skips the implicit rule search for phony targets (*note Implicit Rules::). This is why declaring a target phony is good for performance, even if you are not worried about the actual file existing. Thus, you first write the line that states that `clean' is a phony target, then you write the rule, like this: .PHONY: clean clean: rm *.o temp -- so, adding: .PHONY: install at the top of the (gnu)makefile will force the install target to execute. rick
