If you let me know the version of Perl on your system I'll pass that information and the output you were seeing to John Collins that maintainer of the latexmk script. Note: I know he made changes to the GLOB stuff from Perl because that will be changing in upcoming versions of Perl.

I suggest you save a copy of the zipped version in case some updates automatically happen in the future. Unzip a copy and copy the latexmk file into the ~/Library/TeXShop/bin/tslatexmk folder, replacing the version supplied with TeXShop 3.91 and later and see if that fixes the problem.

Howdy,

Did you install the 4.54a test version that John Collins supplied? Please try that to see that it works properly on that old system.

Good Luck,
