[sprog-users] Sprog on Mac OS X

[Christian R. <cr...@we...>]

Hi all,

I stumbled upon sprog via the perl.com article, and I really like the=20
idea! Even though sprog is young, I think it has a lot of potential.

To make it work on Mac OS X 10.3 (=93Panther=94, using Perl 5.8.1), I =
had=20
to change Sprog::ClassFactory to read
     use Exporter;
     our @ISA =3D qw(Exporter);
instead of
     use Exporter qw(import);

I made myself a little =93Read URL from Param=94 gear and made a little=20=

sprog to retrieve today's dilbert comic strip. Here's a screenshot:

Can you tell me what error message you get with the original code?

Cool! Can I put that up in the screenshots section of the web site?

Are you running the latest version with the configurable background
colour or is that pale yellowish colour some GTK/X under MacOS
weirdness?

Cheers

Hi Grant,

$ perl -e 'use Exporter qw(import);'
"import" is not exported by the Exporter module

It works with 5.8.4 on another machine.

Sure! Let me know if you need other screenshots.

Yes, I configured the background; the standard colour was green.

Ok, that's pretty clear then (if a little surprising).  Can you confirm
that it works if you change the original line from:

  use Exporter qw(import);

to:

  use base qw(Exporter);

If so, I'll check that in.

Grant

Seems that the form you used is fairly recent =96 the Exporter docs for=20=

5.8.1 don't have it.

That works fine.
