xeh007 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I know this is a long shot, but I'm wondering if anyone out there has experience in calling the Macintosh Toolbox from MacPerl. I am having trouble getting the Mac::StandardFile::StandardGetFile call to work (no files are displayed, just folders and drives) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jules

    This could be happening because you are passing a non-null second argument to StandardGetFile. The second argument defines a file type which will be displayed, excluding all other file types. Passing a null second argument should allow all file types to be displayed.
