Bundle::Xmms
I have installed Bundle:Xmms, and I'm pretty sure it went okay.
Going to read n/sources/modules/03modlist.data.gz
Term::ReadKey is up to date.
Term::ReadLine::Perl is up to date.
Term::ANSIColor is up to date.
MPEG::MP3Info is up to date.
Xmms is up to date.
But, when I try to use it, I get error messages like this:
Perl error: Can't locate auto/Xmms/Remote/get_playlis.al in INC(INC
contain: /sw/lib/perl5/darwin /sw/lib/perl5 /sw/lib/perl5/darwin

[hildrum:~/] tor% cd /Library/Perl/darwin/auto/Xmms/Remote
[hildrum:auto/Xmms/Remote] tor% ls

Here is the code:
$xmms_remote = Xmms::Remote-new();
sub xmms {
$title = $xmms_remote-get_playlist_title;
$artist = $xmms_remote-get_playlist_artist;
$song = $xmms_remote-get_playlist_song;
$time = $xmms_remote-get_playlist_time;
print ...;
}
Anyone used this module, or have any answers/hints?

Re: Reading a file in- different in MacOS X?

Hi all,
My scripts, which are running perfectly well on a Win2000 webserver, do not
function correctly under MacOS X.
The first thing I've been able to identify that is malfunctioning is the
standard file reading process I've always used:
while(FILE){
push (@array,$_);
}
print $array[1]; ##prints the second line of file
For some reason MacOS X reads the entire file in to $array[0] the first time
round, instead of putting one line per array element.
Has anybody else had this problem?
[localhost:~] tor% perl -e 'while(){push(@array,$_)} print \$array\[1\]:
$array[1];'
first line # my input
second line # my input
third line # my input + ^D
$array[1]: second line
[localhost:~] tor%
I never had any problems with this.

Forget this, the problem is probably the line-endings used in the file.

Perl/Tk, RTFM didn't work :(
I've read the archives and felt confident that I should get this to work, but I don't :( I grabbed dyld from http://www.lehigh.edu/Macintosh/X/ptk/dyld-tk, replaced it with the old dyld. Forgot to change the permissions, and had to install OS X on a separate partition to change the permissions back :) Then grabbed TK800.024 from CPAN, and edited MMutil.pm Doesn't work though. dyld: perl multiple definitions of symbol _LangExit /Library/Perl/darwin/auto/Tk/Event/Event.bundle definition of LangExit /Library/Perl/darwin/auto/Tk/Tk.bundle definition of _LangExit Is the error message. Should I try reinstalling Tk? Replacing /usr/lib/dyld? Or is there maybe some quick fix I can do? Tor

I didn't really see it mentioned in any previous mail to the group, and it wasn't mentioned on http://www.lehigh.edu/~sol0/Macintosh/X/ptk/dyld-tk. You have to set the DYLD_ALLOW_MULTISYMS variable in your shell for dyld to accept the multiple definitions of _LangExit. Oh well, it finally works for me as well :) Tor
Re: Serial ports?
Has anyone tried accessing serial ports from perl? I tried accessing a USB-port. I tried installing Device::Serial and it crashes hard (text is printed on the screen as if it was a console indicating it is waiting for the remote debugger to attach). snip Somewhere around test 85 the Mac crashes badly. Even from user mode. That is strange. The kernel shouldn't really panic, unless you where running this process in kernel space. Trying to access an I/O port or hardware-mapped memory shouldn't give you a kernel panic from user space. The kernel should just reject it, and send a signal to your process. I don't know if this crash would affect different serial ports or non-SUB serial ports or whatever. Any thoughts? I think you have to use a device driver. Or you need to make your script run in kernel space, you can't access any HW from user space. http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Darwin/IOKit/IOKitFundamentals/Ab out/index.html Tor
Re: Serial ports?
On another Mac with a built in serial port I am just reading/writing from /dev/cu.modem and it is working fine. Running Mac OS X? From my understanding, that shouldn't be possible. Unless you are using some kind of ioctl call. Tor
Re: DBI
Does any one have any tips for installing perl modules I have tried to install the DBI module using CPAN and manually, but both times I cannot seem to get then to connect up? Thank you roland What DB are you using and is set up properly? If MYSQL what version are you running? I'm using the eSuite4X MYSQL3 and DBI installed fine from cpan, not sure if I tinkerd with it manually or not though. I installed MySQL from fink, and DBI and DBD:mysql from CPAN without problem. I didn't really 'answer' any of the questions while installing DBI either. Just hitting enter all the way(You might choose to actually read the questions). But, it is working flawless for me. :) Tor
