concerning the first question: as far as I know perl doesn't care about the amount of data, so it will load until the memory is full. concerning the second question: does the program outputs the data or is it directed to a file?

Thank you all for your help. The problem has been found and is solved. It appears that the new perl version expects the XML::Parser module within a sub-path like XML/Parser.pm instead of the old way Parser.pm where within Parser.pm is stated XML::Parser.

Hello all, I had a perl script running on an old perl version, but last weekend the server migrated to solaris 2.8 with perl version v5.8.0 built for sun4-solaris. The script begins as following: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use FindBin; use lib $FindBin::Bin; use XML::Parser; The error...

Can you die on failing opening the file? Maybe the file can not be opened from the crontab environment.

I think it's line which fills data. When a script is running from crontab the server is running the script without having specific environment settings. So, can you indicate how @data is being filled?

It's got to do with the greediness of RE. Try using .*? The ? means "use the shortest match".

Thanks for the start. I will look at the stuff in detail.

Thank you for your comments Paul. Metrics should always serve as an indication to help you analyse the situation, often metrics are used as shotguns: wrong number and you're dead. I am happy that you too warn on this. Concerning complexity: one can think of the "natural complexity" (how...

If it appears to be that you will be using this second script often it might be wise to think of rebuilding it into a perl module.

It also depends on how neat the perl script is written. If for example (I know it's a weak one) the script uses a defect in the perl language which is solved the script will crash. Another example (better) is that an ugly perl script might be dependend of when certain processes are finished...

I am looking for some time now for some method to measure perl scripts (and modules) for their quality. Since quality is not simply expressed in a single number you will need a set of metrics like: - cyclomatic complexity - fan in/fan out (number of functions referenced and number of functions...

For unix look at du

I would start with the appropiate CPAN perl modules like: http://search.cpan.org/~rdietrich/sql-simple-0.06/

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my @array = qw(1 2 3 4 5); my @array2; foreach my $value (@array) { unshift @array2, $value; } print @array2;

Or http://search.cpan.org/~stbey/Date-Pcalc-1.2/Pcalc.pm and use "Delta_DHMS"?

Maybe the following module works out? http://search.cpan.org/~iltzu/Time-Stopwatch-1.00/Stopwatch.pm

Tried it under Windows, the \g does not work but the \007 does. James is clearly the winner ;)

Concerning editors, I like (and use) MED: http://www.med-editor.com/indexus.html

Like I said, I don't know much about this net stuff but I simply read the error and conclude that somehow the ping function is missing something which might be solved by a bind. Summary: Someone else should pick up the help from here...

If you want to step through the code, use the -d option: perl -d <file.pl>
