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.
