Watch or listen to your remote Mac with iChat AV
Authored by: tylerlin on Dec 18, '03 05:35:05AM

For OSX 10.3, I played around with the script and found that the contact id may be the problem. after adding a back slash before @ in the email address, the script will work. Since I don't know how to do perl, someone please produce a working code, Thank you.

for now, i hard coded the contact info to make it work.

One strange thing to add...
the modified script works if i type "perl iChatGreet.pl" in terminal,
but still does not work in actual situation, anyone know why?

Try typing perl -w iChatGreet.pl
I suspect that you will find a number of exceptions even in your modified script?!
These are the complaints I get with the original script...

main::get_time_of_day() called too early to check prototype at iChatGreet.pl line 12.
main::start_media_chat() called too early to check prototype at iChatGreet.pl line 22.
main::start_media_chat() called too early to check prototype at iChatGreet.pl line 26.
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at iChatGreet.pl line 20.
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at iChatGreet.pl line 20.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at iChatGreet.pl line 31.

Alas, it doesn't mean much to me.

Hello,

is it possible to explain where you modify the email adress?
I tried different things and it doesn't work for me...

Thx,

Nounou
