Hey fellow monkies,

I've sent a patch to SGI::FAM, but! I should have posted my problem overhere first (i think).
I wanted to try the example in SGI::FAM, but I got an error saying:

Your vendor has not defined SGI::FAM macro FAM_DEBUG_OFF at test.pl li
+ne 5

[download]

So I did some locate's and grep's and this way I found that FAM_DEBUG_OFF is also in [your_cpan_location]/auto/SGI/FAM/new.al. But, this code tries to call it as a sub, while I think it's a constant (a scalar one i think). Does anybody else think that?

Also, since the code (SGI::FAM) was written for Irix, I can't really test if my tweak (deleting the ( and ) after FAM_DEBUG_OFF in auto/SGI/FAM/new.al).

Good thing is: the example now works on a Linux machine ;-) Pretty cool actually...

I'm using debian linux with gamin library

Thanks a lot!,
just another monkie

to ask a question is a moment of shame
to remain ignorant is a lifelong shame
