Re: Memory.bundle will not compile.

Good morning,

You have sent a personal reply rather than to the list (or if=20
you did send to the list it hasn't come through yet).

I didn't say I can't; I said it was easier if I didn't have to,=20
and since you're asking for free help, why not make it easier=20
for those you're asking to help you. Basic common sense.

And again, we're talking Perl here; I can't even work out how=20

Umm, you know the solution? Then why are you asking for help?=20
Or, you know of 'a' solution but don't share that with us so we=20
can help you find a better solution? You've got to put some=20
effort into helping us to help you. If you don't give us all the=20
facts that you know (or think) might be relevant, how do you=20
expect non-mind readers to assist?

I'm not the author, so can't say. What dit the author say?

Hmm, that's part of the Mac::Carbon distro. Doesn't surprise me=20
in the slightest that it's not getting ongoing love. There are=20
newer (better?) ways of doing things these days.

And from what I can tell; it's not broken at all. It's not=20
advertised as 64-bit compatible. Maybe your system is broken=20
since it doesn't have a 32-bit perl. You can compile for=20
yourself you know.

Since we're still having to be mind-readers to know what your=20
ultimate goal is, and knowing that with Perl TIMTOWTDI almost=20
always holds true, a different solution doesn't surprise me.

I can take heaps of guesses at what you really wanted to do, but=20
that's not what you asked. I suggested some ways to solve the=20
question you asked.
