Rquest for Intel Mac Help

pudge on 2006-07-06T18:36:23

I no longer have access to an Intel Mac. I got a bug report, and I need help.

Requirements:

• Install latest (as of a week or so ago) versions of some modules: Mac::Glue, Mac::Apps::Launch, Mac::AppleEvents::Simple, and Mac::Carbon (in reverse order of normal installation).
• Install two small shell scripts, aedebug and glue.
• Create a glue for iCal ("sudo gluemac /Applications/iCal.app")
• Run this one-liner script:

  aedebug glue iCal '$x = $g->obj(event => gAny, calendar => gAny)->get; print $x->prop("summary")->get; my $t = $x->prop("start date")->get; print $t; print scalar localtime $t'

Then send me the entire output (there will be quite a bit of debugging output), either here (use the "Code" posting format), or via e-mail.

Thanks!

Update baud helped me out, so now I have a proper diagnosis of the problem, and I don't need further assistance for now. He also helped me uncover another problem that my test case here exposed, that was not in the original. W00t.

Thanks, I have fixes, and will update Mac-Carbon and Mac-AppleEvents-Simple soon.
