Well, I was one of the earliest users of DailyUpdate, but I haven't
used the program lately. For some reason, I'm still getting news from
July... Where is the configuration that prevents me from getting
current data back from the websites in my template txt file?
I have a template.txt file with about 10 handlers, but all but two
(Slashdot and Freshmeat) are returning stories from June and July.
I've not had time to look into it, but about every two weeks I try it
again and I still get the same old stories.
I'm sure not any kind of Perl coder... but it worked for a while. What
could have broken? I'm using NewsClipper version 1.0102 with Perl
5.00503, RH6.
I've tried a basic template.txt with only one handler in it, still
returned a July date (anand tech). Have checked the NewsClipper.cfg
file, looks ok to me, doesn't seem to be any way to control date in
it. Obviously I'm missing something somewhere...
Deleted all handlers, downloaded all new handlers, still getting July
dates.
Turned debug on... here's a sample section from the anand tech:

Here's my uncommented ~/home/.NewsClipper/NewsClipper.cfg file:
# use perl -*- mode: Perl; -*-
$ENV{TZ} = '' if ($^O eq 'MSWin32') || ($^O eq 'dos');
%config = (
'inputFiles' => ['template.txt'],
'outputFiles' => ['output.html'],
'handlerlocations' => ["$home/.NewsClipper"],
'modulepath' => '',
'cachelocation' => "$home/.NewsClipper/cache",

Can someone help, please?
Thank you,
Dave
p.s., I really miss not having this wonderful resource!
