Martin, Craig & John, About 7 weeks ago, I put 5.10.1 into production. It looked good until the overnight production ran, and then all hell broke loose. I did not have time to poke around, but the symptom was that completely trivial perl scripts failed, with extra line breaks being thrown into the output. I put the old version back, and everyone was happy again. The offending (trivial) perl script was replaced with an awk script.
Thanks for describing this. I've been way too busy with tasks unrelated to Perl, and I'm sorry I didn't report this when it hit (on Mar 3rd, when I put 5.10.1 into production after extensive ( but not sufficient) testing. My client reported: " I use a perl script that gave me back unexpected output tonight. Several records were not handled as expected in regards to the end of line. I will discuss with Carl in the AM/PM. "If Carl could put back the old version in the AM, I can rerun the processing script using last night's games and see if the problem goes away and then we can go from there." And indeed, the client is still back at 5.8.6... > > On Apr 21, 2010, at 8:04 PM, John E. Malmberg wrote: > > > martin.zin...@deutsche-boerse.com wrote: ... all deleted...
