I Give Up
I’ve been trying to get this goddamned script to run and I can’t do it and I’m sure it’s something dumb that I’m doing or not doing and that if one of you wants to send me some directions for a Mac I’ll get that shit running lickety split.
Anyway, as Eric Cartman would say, screw you guys, I’m going to bed. But I’ll try again tomorrow after the two, yes two, kids’ fairs we’ll be attending. Love ya bye.
I don’t use the command line much either. Here’s how it worked on my Mac:
1. Save the file on your desktop.
2. Open Applications—>Utilities—>Terminal.
3. In Terminal, enter “cd Desktop”
4. Then enter “perl faves.pl”If that works, it now wants your Twitter username, the rest is self-explanatory.
As Michael Bolton from Office Space would say, I always mess up some minor detail, LIKE THE FIRST COMMAND CODE. Thank you, Adam, for your usual gracious clarity. And extra-thanks to The Perl Fairy for running it while I slept and delivering it to my email inbox, which really is the equivalent of my pillow.
