Re: iCal modules
* Mike Schienle [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-08-10T00:11:07] Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't even consider that. The Mac::Glue installation process is definitely one of the more entertaining ones I've seen/heard. I just scanned through the module docs. I see in the ToDo list is More examples (iCal, iPhoto, iTunes). I don't suppose you have an iCal example laying around you've been waiting to put in there. This used to work, and probably still does, though I haven't used it lately for obvious reasons: http://rjbs.manxome.org/hacks/perl/bdcal -- rjbs signature.asc Description: Digital signature

For example: sudo gluemac /Applications/BBEdit.app This creates the glue file and the POD file (which can be read with gluedoc BBEdit). The ones you have by default are the two most common/important apps (Finder and System Events), and some scripting additions. All other apps, you have to do yourself one time (and after upgrades too, if you wish). -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://pudge.net/ Open Source Technology Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ostg.com/

If you installed it from the CPAN, then ... I dunno, it probably should be in your path. It wouldn't hurt to install latest Mac::Glue (and Mac::Carbon too), if you are using the one that shipped with Tiger (esp. if you have an Intel Mac, since the one that shipped doesn't work!). -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://pudge.net/ Open Source Technology Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ostg.com/

I dunno, it probably should be in your path. I seem to recall that it gets installed alongside the modules so if you look in ...Mac/Glue/ there should be a folder for the glues themselves but also a folder for the scripts like gluemac. At least that's how it used to work, I've been having troubles installing it on the new intel mac so I can't say if that's still the case. Live well, ~wren __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

locate gluemac
While on this topic, one of the first things I do to any newly
installed Mac that I will use is to move the locate database update
from weekly to daily and remove the run as nobody so it runs as
root (otherwise it does not see any of my own files!).
Add /etc/daily.local:
#!/bin/sh -
#
# @(#)daily 8.2 (Berkeley) 1/25/94
#
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin
if [ -x /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb ]; then
echo
echo Rebuilding locate database:
locdb=/var/db/locate.database
touch ${locdb}; chown nobody ${locdb}; chmod 644 ${locdb}
# echo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb | nice -5 su -fm nobody 21
| sed -e '/Permission denied/d'
/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
chmod 444 ${locdb}
fi
Delete the locate.updatedb code from /etc/weekly (unfortunately, you
have to do this to avoid it clobbering the good database with the bad
database for up to one day a week).
After this, locate works like Spotlight should, ie finds everything,
finds it very fast.
Eg, locate s3 | grep pdf - find the Amazon S3 documentation (|
xargs bbedit for good measure ;-)
Enjoy,
Peter.

Re: iCal modules
I once had to read ical-files and did so with Tie::iCal. I found there are plenty of Modules that deal with iCal and a lack of Documentation. Someone might even try without a module at all... Now that you are describing your problem i wonder if there is a site that does just this kind of conversion... Have you considered using an rss-feed? Probably you find something appropriate at www.syndic8.com HTH Am 05.08.2006 um 16:19 schrieb Mike Schienle: Hi all - I'm checking out modules for working with iCal.
