Re: CPAN hanging on ExtUtils::MakeMaker even if installed

2012-02-24 Thread Jaime Kikpole
I want to thank everyone who helped me out. I can confirm that the original issue (infinite delay and 100% CPU use while installing ExtUtils::MakeMaker from CPAN) is gone after upgrading to Perl 5.12. For some reason, the upgrade to 5.14 didn't work. Using portupgrade -o lang/perl-5.14

My thanks to everyone for their replies. I guess that I wasn't specific enough about my needs, though. I don't need a tiny chassis. In fact, I need a proxy for around 750-900 computers, so an Atom system or the like wouldn't work for me. I just have no rack space left. Fortunately, I might

FTP prob in PHP 4.2.3/install older version?

2002-10-16 Thread Jaime Kikpole
I've found that PHP 4.2.3 seems to have a problem with ftp_* functions. I have a web-app called SquirrelMail with a plugin that uses FTP to manage your .procmailrc and SpamAssassin settings. The plugin works about 5-10% of the time. This web-app on an older box running PHP
