Proper Notes
Authored by: Dark Paladin on Sep 04, '02 11:49:49AM

Let me make some corrections:

number = "00000"; should be:

$number = "00000";

The proper way to do this would be:

From terminal, type "pico screenshoter.pl" (or whatever you want to name the program).

Put in the code as mentioned (making your you correct my $number boo-boo ;) ).

Save with Control-X, yes to save.

Type "chmod 755 screenshoter.pl" - what this means is make it Readable, Writable, and Executable by me, and Readable and Executable by everyone else. (If you're a paranoid type, just make it 700 to only *you* can play with it).

To run, type ./screenshoter.pl, or (assuming you saved it in your home directory), ~/screenshoter.pl.

I made this a Perl script (just because I like Perl), and again, I've got Quicktime Pro 6. If anyone does *not* have Quicktime Pro 6, and this works for them, let me kow.
