( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I can update perl. I am of the mindset "If it's not broken, don't update it". Now, It seems broken so I am willing to update. What ActivePerl release is most stable? Any sugestions? I have ActivePerl-5.16.3.1604 downloaded and installed on one puter. It went "ok" (a few problems) but I am willing to install this on the server now. Do you recommend another version?

What am I trying to accomplish? 1. Understand why the program stops working (I like to root-cause things) and 2. Once 1. is answered re-write the program so it won't crash. Now I am working on making it more effeciant with memory. I am currently not having any luck with "undef <variable>" sigh... If you mean at a higher level "What am I trying to accomplish", without going into a lot of detail, I am sorting a two structures in alphanumbric sequence and I need to keep all the file pointers in the directory structure "not broken". I uses 4 variables to do this (i.e. causing me to use 4X the data base size) Now I am trying to reduce the number of variables I need. will "undef <variabe>" re-claim un-used memory? It seems that it is not.

In reply to Re^2: I can crash perl by mark4

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
