Code Completion Frustration

I just did the latest update to 5.2 or whatever and now, the code completion is driving me nuts.

EG:

If I want to bold a word in the current text

This is some text

I would normally do this (and used to be able to with edit 5.1??

This is [strong]some text

then move to the end and Komodo would compelte it.

But now it completes it immediately!!

This is [strong][/strong]some text

Which is forcing me to cut and paste!!!!!!

HELP!!!!!

ActivePerl Will Not Install on Windows XP x86 MID Device UMID M1

I have Windows XP Home preinstalled on my UMID Mbook M1. Its resolution is 1024x600. Whenever I try to install ActivePerl by double-clicking on the MSI file, a blank white-backgrounded window with lots of scroll space in the horizontal and vertical scrollbars appears. The cursor turns into an "insert text" cursor like in a word processor within the window. I cannot close the Window and nothing appears in the Window. The title of the installer appears in the title bar. I must Alt+Ctrl+Del and forcefully shutdown the installer.

Problem getting wxPerl to work

Hi

I'm a longtime user of Perl and user of ActivePerl for several years but not so far with wxPerl.

I'm using the latest ActivePerl (5.10.1 build 1006) on my development box which runs Windows XP pro (SP3 fully updated).

wxPerl appears to be installed by default (PPM thinks it is and files with the right sort of names seem to be in the right sort of places).

I tried it first with Jouke Visser's tutorial script at http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/09/12/wxtutorial1.html

I get the following error message:

How can I install Apache2::SOAP?

So I try to installed it with "CPANP i Apache2::SOAP" but the create a Error: "Unable to extract ..... no extractor found"

Can someone help me or decripe the steps to install the mentioned module?

Thank you very much

Komodo Edit 5.2 crashes when remote opening file [SOLVED?]

After updating (manually) to 5.2.1, i am unable to open files on remote machines via SCP or SFTP. I either get the file open but no readable characters in it (a few - 2/3 "junk" chars) or else komodo edit crashes. I have tried opening files on two different remote servers, both are Solaris 10 boxes, both are configured to run ssh on non-default port.

Any one else seeing this? Anyone else able to open files on remote hosts via scp/sftp?

Regs,
/t

Edit: did a clean re-install (ie removed and then reinstalled) and it looks like that's fixed it

problems with project explorer

I was moving files around in the project explorer and I moved a file from one folder to the other it looked like it just made a copy of it. So i deleted the old file and now their both gone.

I am really frustrated because that sent me way back.

Neither wish nor tclsh can find my scripts

I have tried using both shells, but neither finds my scripts.
