OK, I've uploaded Mac-Carbon-0.75 to the CPAN.

http://use.perl.org/~pudge/journal/29967

Go play with it, if you have an Intel Mac. Let me know if you find
anything wrong, and let me know soon, since I have less than a week left
with this Intel Mac.

A new Mac::Glue release is following. It is currently broken on Intel, too.

The module (Mac-Carbon-0.75) was fine through "make" on my intel Mac
(modulo all the "deprecated" warnings of course, which I imagine
should be ignored).

However "make test" failed with the following problem:

AppleEvents/t/desc.............NOK 2# Failed test 'require '"$Bin/
helper.pl"';'
# in AppleEvents/t/desc.t at line 11.
# Tried to require ''"$Bin/helper.pl"''.

Yeah.

Someone else had the same problem. First, did any other test fail? I
imagine AppleEvents/t/desc and AppleEvents/t/event failed. Any others? I
had a report about Speech.t.

Second, do you have the file AppleEvents/t/helper.pl? If so, then I am
supposing FindBin is not working for you as it works for me, which puzzles
me, but not enough that I will spend much more time on it, I'll just throw
something together to make it work.

Finally, you can hardcode the path to helper.pl in desc.t and event.t and
run the tests again.

Thanks,

Hi again,

Yes, AppleEvents/t/event and AppleEvents/t/desc were both failing
with the same error message:

=======================================================================
AppleEvents/t/event............NOK 2# Failed test 'require '"$Bin/
helper.pl"';'
# in AppleEvents/t/event.t at line 11.
# Tried to require ''"$Bin/helper.pl"''.

[...].

AppleEvents/t/desc.............NOK 2# Failed test 'require '"$Bin/
helper.pl"';'
# in AppleEvents/t/desc.t at line 11.
# Tried to require ''"$Bin/helper.pl"''.
=======================================================================

> Second, do you have the file AppleEvents/t/helper.pl?

Yep, present and correct.

> Finally, you can hardcode the path to helper.pl in desc.t and

event.t and
run the tests again.

OK: after a bit of head-scratching and a few failed attempts to do
this I scrounged together the following modification to the BEGIN
block for both desc.t and event.t:

BEGIN {
use_ok('Mac::AppleEvents');
# require_ok('"$Bin/helper.pl"');
push @INC,"/Users/pmccann/Desktop/downloaded/Mac-Carbon-0.75/
AppleEvents/t";
require_ok("helper.pl");
}

With that in place we get success:

Chris: it's not interpolating the $Bin variable and the quotes are
literal quotes too.

But the problem was: why did it work on *my* computer?

Turns out to be a combination of my typo, and an old version of Test::More.
First, I reversed the quotes. I initially had:

    require "$Bin/helper.pl";

I changed that to:

    require_ok("$Bin/helper.pl");

That would have worked (I now know) on a newer Test::More, but it did not
work on mine, so I changed it to:

    require_ok('"$Bin/helper.pl"');

I meant to put the single quotes inside the double quotes, but I didn't
notice because ... it worked! The reason why is because Test::More changes
that to:

    eval <<EOT;
package main;
require "\$Bin/helper.pl";
EOT

So then $Bin is evaluated in its proper context. Neat.

Anyway, rather than making people upgrade their Test::More for this one
test, I reverted it back to a plain require() for 0.76, which is on your
CPAN shelves now.
