I'm learning about NSTask at the moment, because I'd like to wrap a few shell commands in my app.

The command I'd like to run is a perl script which is part of a package installed by Fink.

When I run the script in the terminal all is well, but when I try to run it as an NSTask I get the error below:

Is it because the Shell has extra Environment stuff going on? I'm not entirely familiar with what the "environment" is exactly.

Solved - I did some reading about Environment Variables, tweaked my code and all is now well.

Why is it that the action of Writing a post can often get you thinking on the right track again?

Who knows...but yes, it often seems to do that.
