They swear they're upgrading RSN, when BSD (Free? Open? Whichever.) does. They only run stable from their distro, and it's hard to fault an ISP for that. They do provide access to the error logs, but compile errors don't make it in. Drat. Now that I think of it I could have done something clever like have a cgi that runs perl -c on it myself. As for shell access, it's hard to complain about $7.77/mo for 45GB xfer. The old perl is my only complaint, and it's supposed to be fixed in the next month or two. > FWIW, try: my $max = scalar(@name) - 1; > And make sure there are no "weird" characters in the source file. That fixed it. I owe you several beers. Thanks. -- mike
