Hello, I have a quite common problem : portability :( I wrote a Perl script that works perfectly under Linux with Perl 5.8.8. Very confident, I try to run it under Windows with the lastest release of ActivePerl, and all required modules. But annoyances come quickly :( Perl returns me an error message : "cannot use initialized value in null operation". My first idea about the problem was the utilisation of the fork() primitive : I know it presents some limitations under Windows. But after reading the fork() information page of ActivePerl, it seems I'm not concerned by these limitations. I learned, by reading the previous documentation, that ActivePerl uses threads to emulate posix fork(). I use DBI for my script, and it seems DBI is not really thread-safe, or at least, it may bring problems. But this is only an hypothetical reason.
If somebody has skill about such problems, help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Mickael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
