Hi Monks I am running Mac OS X Version 10.4.7 on my MacBook Pro. I downloaded Perl 5.8.8 and put it in /library/perl. I am using AlphaX as my texteditor when I code for Perl. I also download Tcl/Tk Aqua Batteries as instructed. I am going through O"reilly's Learning Perl. I created my first code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hello, world!\n";
[download]

I think I set everything up right in Config > Perl Mode Prefs. But when I go to the Camal tab > tell perl > open this file the Camal turns blue all around it and it just stays that way. When I hit esc it says AESend failer: OSErr - 1711. If I try the camal tab > Run a file and choose the Hello, world! file it says can't read "wname": no such variable. I looked all through the wiki at http://alphatcl.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/wikit/24.html and the AlphaX website but I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
