Hi Fletcher,

Thanks for creating your simplenote script.  It has worked very well
for me so far (I’ve only been using it for a few days) and I’ve
enjoyed using it.

I recently started using simplenote and found a link to your script on
their website.  I thought you might be interested to know that I have
been able to get it syncing text files on freebsd 7.2 with little
effort.  I made no modifications to your script.  I did however have
to install LWP::UserAgent (which is installed via a port on freebsd
called p5-libwww).

Here are the steps I took to get this working:

- create the configuration file .simplenotesyncrc (as in your readme file)

- run command “chmod 775 SimplenoteSync.pl” (change permissions on the
file to make script executable)

- install freebsd port p5-Crypt-SSLeay (from the freebsd ports tree
located at ports/security/p5-Crypt-SSLeay)

- install p5-libwww as well which has LWP::UserAgent (doesn't seem to
be natively installed with perl on freebsd, located in the ports tree
at ports/www/p5-libwww).  If this isn’t present, the error that comes
up is “Can't locate LWP/UserAgent.pm in @INC …”

Regards,

Bruce
