Perl Troubleshooting ReportStrange perl error - Version: 5.8.0, 12/8/2003 05:52AM PST

When I try to lauch psysncx I get this:

dyld: perl Undefined symbols:
_Perl_Gthr_key_ptr
_Perl_Isv_yes_ptr
_Perl_Tcurpad_ptr
_Perl_Tmarkstack_ptr_ptr
_Perl_Top_ptr
_Perl_Tstack_base_ptr
_Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr
_Perl_croak_nocontext
_Perl_sv_setpvf_nocontext

I hadn't used psyncx for a while and installed perl 5.8.0 in the meantime. But when I reverted to 5.6.0 it was all the same!

the "setting locale failed" warning, then do this: 1. Go to "http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/archive/macosx-admin/2002-September/025590.html". 2. On the Web page you should find a Perl script (I did not write it, but it worked for me). Copy and paste it into a text file. Be aware that some text in the comments in the beginning of the script are hard-wrapped onto other lines, so they are uncommented barewords (at least for me). Fix them by deleting the extra carriage returns, or delete the comments. Save the text file somewhere. 3. Open up Terminal. 4. Type "perl " (that's "perl" with a space) then drag and drop the file you created into Terminal, and press Return. 5. You may have to log out and log back in for the changes to take effect (it will tell you if you do). Anyway, this procedure worked for me. Hope this may help others with the same problem. I don't know about this version of Perl yet, but 5.6.0 rocked hard!

-v perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). This is perl, v5.8.0 built for darwin :P nothing that utilizes Perl works now... damn. ow do I re-install that backup file? Should it be decompressed via Terminal (via Expander the text is screwed)? What might be the flags? :
