Mac-Glue-1.16 has been released. Download it from the CPAN or SF.net.

(Note: it may take time for the release to propagate to the various download mirrors.) Changes: * v1.16, Wednesday, November 19, 2003

There's a bug in perl 5.8.0-5.8.2 whereby -- depending on how your perl is compiled -- the value of $^E (see the Mac::Glue docs for details) is modified when accessed. This patch helps minimize the effect, so at least the value is reliable right after a Mac::Glue event call. This change makes the value of $^E more reliable even without the bug in perl.

The problem still exists in using Mac::Errors and probably other code. It will be fixed in perl 5.8.3 and later. Here's a patch to your perl if you want to fix it locally: http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/85393
