Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / August 2004

From previous posts (ages ago) I thought the following code should
return the physical size of the folder in question. However getting
->prop() just returns the $obj for some reason. What am I doing wrong?
Cheers!

Can anyone explain the following? (the difference in commands is the
year spec.)
david@g4: perl -e 'use Time::Local;print ( (localtime(timelocal(0, 0,
0, 1, 1, 55)))[6], "\n");'

This is probably simple, I am just not seeing it.
I have a couple of dialog boxes that are getting called in specific
cases.  (A preferences panel and a couple of other panels needed to

Thanks

that it's not compatible with Panther currenlty. The Author recommended
to install a newer Perl which should fix the problem. Here are some
questions:

Does anyone have a good snippet of example code for calling NSOpenPanel
with CamelBones?
I am not certain what the syntax should be and there are few examples I
can find.

Out of curiosity, does anyone have Apache::MP3 working on Panther?
I have it working just fine on a Debian machine at work, but it doesn't
work at all on a Mac there, nor does it work on my Mac at home. In both
cases, it just serves zero-length, null-content pages to all requests.

Not a question per say, but since switching my iTunes code from
Mac::OSA::Simple ( i.e. writing AppleScript, then compile and
executing it ) to Mac::Glue, I've seen performance gains of about
300%. Any thoughts on why? Is it just my environment? Or is there
