[forwarded submission from a non-member address -- rjk] From: Sean Quinlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 12:59:21 -0400 Subject: PDL/xs problem To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Greetings all! First off subject line - how did the last meeting go? Unfortunately I couldn't make it. Any discursion of Parrot or the apocalypse? Anywho, here's my problem. I have a program that uses some PDL routines that were we've (in the royal sense, the hard work is not mine to claim) written. If your not familiar with PDL specifically, please keep reading as it may not matter for this question, it's just a different way of rolling some c into your perl, and as I understands it, actually generates some .xs code when compiled. The program does some analysis on protein sequences (singly or in groups), and is generally given a very large set of sequences to try. We are still working on the project and, as you could easily guess, it fails now and then. That's fine - I'd be happy to dump some debugging info alongside the core for later perusal. The problem is it brings my program to a screeching halt, when there is no reason not to just skip that sequence set on failure and move on to the next. I've tried encapsulating it in an eval, but it dies regardless. I'm really hoping I don't have to write a wrapper around it to restart it when it exits prematurely. _Any_ suggestions or pointers to documentation would be greatly appreciated! TIA!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean P.
