my complements!!! [1]
now the concern that worries me is the issues that can
arise from running modules that are built with autoloading
variations over the NFS mounting....
{ we're talking about the *.al files here - check
out the whole POSIX::*}
my premise here is that you are planning to run the
Solaris::Kstat for some form of system monitoring suite
of tools { they tend to come out as suites, even though
we all start with the hope of a 'one size will fit all'. }
I've never tried to test this concern - since I always
simply demanded that the perl and the modules be local
to the machine - a feature that shows up in solaris 8
where they take Perl Seriously - as a legitimate tool.
Hence I am not at all sure what impact will occur -
when the NFS mount goes 'flakey' - and you are trying
to deal with that issue - but this is the first time
that you grabbed for the foo.al - hence, my expectation
that your perl code will bollock up unable to get the
file that it needs to run the test to find the bollock
that has occurred....
If anyone with more experience in this area can be
of assistance - i would be greatly pleased to hear.
Am I 'misreading' the documentation about autoloaded
portions of the code???
{ is this the part where we note that DynaLoader itself
is 'exposed' and that Text::ParseWords as well as GetOpt::Long,
hence one is limiting the 'host local' coding options that
you might wish to have for dealing with checking this host
for a given problem if the NFS mount is a part of the problem? }
