Hello Brothers,

0 I did create an account but I can't my email this days, so I'm anonymous....
1 thx for your answers on Perl and OS X
2 Where is the best place here to post my messages about Perl and OS X for the newby ?
4 What editor to use ? I can't save my files as .pl in textedit
3 I begun to learn and type some lines, following the tutorials, and I found that I have to twist a little bit the examples if you want them to work on OS X.
that is :
example in Tutorial:Basics
[Ordinateur-de-me-XoX:~] exox% #!/usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl: Event not found.
print "Hello World!\n";



[Ordinateur-de-me-XoX:~] exox% print "Hello World!\n";
print: Command not found.
[Ordinateur-de-me-XoX:~] exox% 
[Ordinateur-de-me-XoX:~] exox% 
[Ordinateur-de-me-XoX:~] exox%

[download]
(this the terminal prompt and [Ordinateur-de-me-XoX:~] exox% is always on the screen)

So it doesn't work...
But
(example by Louis Wu) ;
[Ordinateur-de-me-XoX:~] exox% perl -e 'print "Hello World!\n";'
Hello World!
[Ordinateur-de-me-XoX:~] exox%

[download]
it works.

But
(example buy Defyance)
[Ordinateur-de-me-XoX:~] exox% 
$ man perl[Ordinateur-de-me-XoX:~] exox% $ man perl
$: Command not found.

[download]
doesn't...

well, i'm lost !!

Could you tell me where or what is the problem ?? Does OS X needs a special typing or ...??

Amen,

Bro. Xav
