Contacting moderators
by Vic Cris 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I was trying to contact the moderator (I mailed Anurag) about a problem I face reading the listmail with my webmail client (I can't access it right now, but I think it is called something Boxes - it has an icon of an Escher like box assembly), but the mail bounced saying no such mailbox, which is vizarre because he most definitely is still using his gnuer address. Anyway, the problem is that the first mail in the digest is clearly visible, while the rest are dimmed and darned difficult to read.… [View More]

ubuntu and wine: some updates
by Abhishek Daga 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Installed ubuntu dapper drake desktop for the first time. Before this, I had only worked with RH based distros. Installed Apache, MySQL and PHP also. It was a Breeze. Overall, only 1 word can describe the entire distro and setup. Sexy. Had to run putty for an application (ssh and xterm messed up the function keys) so installed it over wine. Again, a breeze though with some errors. Which is ok. One tip: The font looks weird. So you will need to change it to anything else and it will look fine.… [View More]

Perl Hashes.
by Nadeem M. Khan 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

Hi. I have a perl hash that has 200 key-value pairs. Something like this: 001 one 002 two ........... 200 two_hundred My script can read the pairs which are at the top without issues, but from pair 170 onwards, the script fails to read them. Is there any limit on the memory/number of elements in a hash? If I move pair number 171 right at the top, it works. Strangely, the script works very well on Linux, but the problem occurs on AIX and HP-UX. Regards, NMK.
