Gtk2::OSXApplication - Perl extension for mac integration code GtkOSXApplication
Mac OS X now builds Perl statically by default. This change was done mainly for faster startup times. The Apple-provided Perl is still dynamically linked and shared, and you can enable the sharedness for your own Perl builds by Configure -Duseshrplib. Perl has been ported to IBM's OS/400 PASE environment. I think I figured out the cause, but I have no idea what the solution is. In OSX, /usr/bin/perl is a wrapper that calls either perl5.12 or perl5.10.In turn, those guys call the appropriate shasum (shasum5.12 or shasum5.10).I managed to break my installation by trying to upgrade my perl to 5.16. Perl 5.12.5 represents approximately 17 months of development since Perl 5.12.4 and contains approximately 1,900 lines of changes across 64 files from 18 authors. Perl continues to flourish into its third decade thanks to a vibrant community of users and developers.
A sample from my CuePlay application:
Creates an OSXApplication object. Do this asap after use Gtk2 '-init'. Exports the following functions of GtkOSXApplication:
