Growl

Mac::Growl Perl Interface

Growl developer documentation


Growl includes an interface that allows perl scripts to use Growl. To install it, run the following commands in Terminal.

cd ~/Growl/bindings/perl/Mac-Growl
perl Makefile.PL
sudo make
sudo make test

The make test command should display four notifications saying that Mac::Growl is working. These will say what they are testing. Below is an example of one of the notifications:

Growl bubble

Once you get the notification, you can go ahead and run

sudo make install

to finish up the Mac::Growl installation.

Once Mac::Growl is installed, run the following:

perldoc Mac::Growl

This should give you all the necessary information to add Growl support to your Perl scripts.
