Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / November 2003sending a fax from perl
Has anyone manages to use the new built in faxing software (on Panther) to send a fax from a perl script? I'd very much like to know how this might be done. R.

Check the man page (i.e. 'man fax' in a Terminal window) for docs. sherm-- > > Has anyone manages to use the new built in faxing software (on > > Panther) to send a fax from a perl script?

Yeah, I have had very little luck scripting the Print interface on Mac OS X. The CLI tools might be a much better option (unless Panther has improved on this, but I can find no evidence of it).  SignatureChris Nandor pudge@pobox.com http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network pudge@osdn.com http://osdn.com/ I tried to send a fax from the command line, following the intructions from 'man fax' but I get 'Permission Denied' errors. efax: Thu Nov 13 21:09:36 2003 Error: can't open pre-lock file /var/spool/lock/TMP..03273: Permission denied Then I tried is as su, I get further, but it never actually start dialing , it gets to this line: efax: 09:16 dialing T915472049 but it doesn't actually dial. Also, I think but am not sure, that one needs to install GhostView to fax Poscript files. Is there anywhere one can go for help for these sorts of issues? thanks >>> Has anyone manages to use the new built in faxing software (on >>> Panther) to send a fax from a perl script?
