Hi,

I am stumped, I have a Perl script that accepts files as input, reads them and 
writes a new file (in the same folder as the original file). Used Platypus to 
create an application that accepts dropped files. 

Last updated the Perl script six weeks ago (October), 'updated' my application 
back then. The Perl script, run from the command line, and the application 
created in October still work fine.

Now, using the very same Perl script Platypus creates an application but the 
application does, so it seems, nothing apart from launching when I drop a file 
on the new application.

Is there any special setting beyond the checkbox 'Accepts dropped items'? Or 
why would what worked six weeks ago, now have stopped working? Any updates to 
Perl, the OS, or Platypus since then (I am not 100% sure, my update to Mountain 
Lion might have been after when Platypus last successfully created the 
application).


Thanks a lot in advance.

Lenny
