Hey guys!
A couple of years ago I was messing around with Ubuntu and came across a neat way to display kernel bits as a screensaver, like here. Having a spot of trouble with it, I created this thread here which resolved my issues and got me up and running.
I'm wondering if there's a way I can do the same thing in Snow Leopard using xscreensaver and Phosphor. Does anyone know?
EDIT***
I know things should largely be the same as they were here, but there are some significant things I must me missing since I cannot get jas's fantastic guide (along with these minor corrections to it) to work on my computer.
This time, I do have both Phosphor and the kernel ready, I just need to know how to make the script (or any other script for that matter, if anyone knows one) run properly. I keep getting the error when I run the perl script
"syntax error at /usr/local/bin/phosphor-kernel-src.pl line 3, near "while ;"
Execution of /usr/local/bin/phosphor-kernel-src.pl aborted due to compilation errors."
And yes, I did make sure I have the DATA correction after the while above.

Unfortunately, I doubt such a screensaver concept would work on a closed-source OS. Linux is OSS that you can view and edit at your leisure, but MS Windows and Apple's Mac OS X are proprietary.
Kernel Screensaver?
