Question

Strange Pop-up after Login?

Apr 14, 2012 12:30PM PDT

Hi,

I'm using a MacPro 6-core Intel Zeon 3.33Ghz

Following a 'Likely to Fail' warning on my main Hard Drive (1Tb), I purchased a replacement drive and backed up, using cloning software.

Booting from the new drive, all seems to be working fine, but immediately after every login, TextEdit opens automatically and displays the following document (titled PerlRunPrefork.pm)....

********************************

package ModPerl:SillyerlRunPrefork;

use strict;
use warnings FATAL => 'all';

our $VERSION = '0.01';

use base qw(ModPerl:SillyerlRun);

if ($ENV{MOD_PERL}) {
require Apache2::MPM;
die "This package can't be used under threaded MPMs"
if Apache2::MPM->is_threaded;
}

sub handler : method {
my $class = (@_ >= 2) ? shift : __PACKAGE__;
my $r = shift;
return $class->new($r)->default_handler();
}

*chdir_file = \&ModPerl::RegistryCooker::chdir_file_normal;

1;
__END__

The original document can be found at the following path:
MacPro HD/System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/ModPerl/PerlRunPrefork.pm
I don't have great technical knowledge (not at this level anyway) so I can't figure out why this is opening and displaying....is it some kind of warning - or just a bug?
Even if all is ok, the constant 'popping up' is a little worrying (and fairly annoying).
Is there anyway to disable this 'auto display'?

Thanks for listening!
