System command on Windows

I have some PLX web scripts that use system() to execute command lines like this:

system('hello.bat');

They used to work, now they all fail with error 256. I have tried and tried debugging this to no avail. My OS is Win2000 running IIS 5.0 and activestate perl 5.8.8. There was no change in my environment or permissions when this happened. All scripts that use system() now fail. Any ideas will be appreiciated.

Breakpoint stopped working in Perl

I am using Komodo IDE 5.1 on winXP - recently breakpoints stopped working - i.e. the debugger does not break in my perl scritps.

I can single-step in the code, and breakpoints is standard modules (e.g. find.pm) do work.

I am running Perl debugging locally.

I guess I somehow have messed up the settings, I have tried to uninstalled and installing Komodo again, this did not solved the problem. A college of mine is running Komodo on same perl scripts with no problems.

Any suggestions on fixing the problem without reinstalling windows ;-)

Update Tcl 8.4 to Tcl 8.5: "missing" packages

I have update a Tcl 8.4.2 to 8.5.5 and TclDevKit 3.2 to TclDevKit 5.0.1.
ActiveTcl 8.5.5 installer recommends me to install Tcl 8.5.5 in the same directory with Tcl 8.4, and the TclDevKit 5.0.1 installer recommends to uninstall previous version of TclDevKit. I have done that.
My Tcl application uses several packages and works well under tcl 8.4.2. But when I try to start this application after updating Tcl, I saw an error message:
"can't find package BWidget while executing 'package require BWidget'".

I saw the same for all other 'package require' directives.

debug slow to start with php 5.2.6

On my Win 2000 Adv Server it takes ~35 seconds from clicking debug start to pull up the Debug Options page and then another ~35 seconds for the debugger to get to the first line break point.

I am playing with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8200 @ 2.66GHz and 2Gig of RAM.

Any ideas on speeding up the time to Debug Options page and then to first break point?

BTW I am a newbie to this wonderful software so thank you for your considerations and assistance.

Problem Compiling PerlApp with "use Switch;"

I tried to send this to the pdk listserv but it wasn't accepted.

Has anyone else run into this? Is there a solution?

I just introduced a use of the Switch module into our Classified Ad Extractors. A snippet of the code used is shown below. The complete extractor runs in the Komodo Debugger just as it should. The case statements perform just as they should.

Don't know how to install xpi extension

I would like to install the extension "MoreKomodo". The installation instructions say:


"To install a Komodo extension, download it to your system and then open it in Komodo by going to File / Open... and then browsing to the xpi file."

But when downloading the extension from the extension page (http://community.activestate.com/addons?page=2), I don't get an xpi file, but a zip file (morekomodo-1.5.2.xpi.zip). When I unzip the archive, I also don't get an xpi file, but a set of 4 files (morekomodo.jar, morekomodo.js, chrome.manifest and install.rdf).

Rake File Issues for Ruby on Rails

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Greetings.

The Ruby on Rails Tutorial for Komodo IDE only has got me started in the correct direction and things were moving along quite well until... Here is the issue.
When I want to use the application tool to perform the db:migrate Rake function I saw the following error.

D:/ruby/bin/rake.bat:24: undefined method `require_gem' for main:Object (NoMethodError)

I am running the following.
Ruby 184-20
Ruby Gems 1.3.1
RadRails 0.7.2 is installed as an editor

The error came back and I am using Komodo Studio (free distro).

Komodo IDE conditional breakpoints for Perl

I'm using Komodo IDE
Komodo IDE, version 4.2.1, build 283000, platform win32-x86.
Built on Tue Nov 13 13:52:03 2007.
I'm debugging a perl application: the application is running on UNIX while the debugging is on Windows. Regular break points work, but when I try to change regular break point to conditional one (by going to break point properties and specifying the condition) the condition is ignored.

Is it a know problem or do I need special libraries for this to work? Anyone has a solution or workaround to have conditional breakpoints work?
Thank you!

just starting with Komodo and Javascript

I wanted to become fluent with Javascript and wanted to use Komodo expecting it to be an END/END IDE. I am having a prblem with getting my script (converted from VBscript) to even compile, but Komodo seems only to want to help AFTER my script compiles
Surely this is not end-to-end
Is there another (yet unseen) option to have Komodo start with writing a script and asisting and debugging as I go. If there are tutorials I should have seen, sorry, where are they?
