Here is a little smile :-), and empathy to make your frustration a tad less heavy. I feel your pain because I experience the same with PDL on a Mac. All I am saying, and this is completely my personal viewpoint, not that of the developers, that I believe wrapping my kvetching in an expression of thanks for the developers might make them more inclined to solving my problem than in ignoring me. It is possible that I am completely wrong in my viewpoint above. So, consider this thread closed from my side. I hope you are able to solve your issues. Good luck. Your success will help others on the same platform as you. > Daniel. > -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org Science Commons Fellow, http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/kishor Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assertions are politics; backing up assertions with evidence is science ======================================================================= _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
