NetBSD baal.amalekite.net 2.0 NetBSD 2.0 (GENERIC) #0: Wed Dec 1 10:58:25 UTC 2004 builds@build:/big/builds/ab/netbsd-2-0-RELEASE/i386/200411300000Z-obj/big/builds/ab/netbsd-2-0-RELEASE/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386
>Description:
An editor script in pure Perl exists on CPAN at this URL:
http://cpan.org/authors/id/T/TP/TPARVIAI/t-pad-4.04.pl
I had used it regularly for more than a year on NetBSD 1.6.2. Now, after
upgrading to NetBSD 2.0 that script fails like so:
baal: {9} perl t-pad-4.04.pl &
[1] 22738
baal: {10} Cannot find KDESite at /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-netbsd-thread-multi/Tk/Widget.pm line 256
FYI the Perl I am using on NetBSD 2.0 is this version:
baal: {3} pkg_info perl
Information for perl-5.8.6nb2:
And the Perl/Tk is this version:
baal: {8} pkg_info p5-Tk
Information for p5-Tk-804.027nb2:
As told above, I had used this script for more than a year on NetBSD 1.6.2 and Win2K both with equal facility. Now it works only on Win32
but not any more on NetBSD.
>How-To-Repeat:
Download this Perl/Tk script from CPAN and put it anywhere.
http://cpan.org/authors/id/T/TP/TPARVIAI/t-pad-4.04.pl
cd to wherever the script is and call like so:
perl t-pad-4.04.pl
