I've been having trouble installing DBD::mysql on a fresh install of
Panther, even after having patched Config.pm as Edward Moy suggested on
this list a couple weeks ago. Specifically, 'make test' spits back the
following:

I just installed Panther on my mac.
But to my surprise the installed perl is thread-enabled.
I need a non threaded perl so
how can I install another perl beside the first one ?

My Perl 5.8.0 resides in "/opt/local/bin/". Perl 5.6.0 is in "/usr/bin".
When I start a script with
   #!/opt/local/bin/perl -w
   use Date::Parse;

have read the archive about modify Config.pm with
ld='env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc'
have reinstalled Bundle::DBI and DBD::mysql and restarted, but still

In BASH, it is really easy to "read" preferences.  For example, in
Mac OS X's /etc/rc startup script, it includes a file like so:
. /etc/rc.common
This file also includes /etc/hostconfig like so:

I've been frantically trying to install MacOSX::File 0.66 on my Panther  
7B85 (GM) powerbook. I have XCode 7B85 installed, which. I haven't  
succeeded in running "make". I have attached the Terminal output so you  
can see what's wrong. Thanks for any tips!

I've been having problems appending text to a file. I can't figure out
what is going on.

named " extractedFiles". (The first character in its name is a space.)

references to data and replace them with the data

I have recently installed Perl 5.8.0 on my iMac via "PortsManager" from
DarwinPorts <http://www.opendarwin.org/projects/darwinports/>. Perl 5.8.0
resides in the "/opt/local/bin" directory, and this directory is at the
beginning of $PATH. Everything works well except that BBEdit ...

For some reason I can't hear a system beep.
Maybe I'm mistaken, but isn't:
print "\a";
suppose to generate a system beep?

whenever I run the simple LWP program below, I get the following error
