Apologies. You are correct. I never responded directly to this email. my $file = "/tmp"; my $mtime = (stat $file)[9];
and: my $file = __FILE__; my $mtime = (stat $file)[9]; both fail (meaning the test hangs) -M __FILE__; and -M "/tmp"; both work (which is to say that the test does not hang, but the test fails because stat returns number of seconds since the epoch and -M returns the number of days since last modification). Apache, perl and mod_perl where all compiled with HP's ANSI C compiler. The compiler is now with the latest version and patch level. Also, will point out that this is now under HP-UX 11i (11.11) was formerly HP-UX 11.00. Not sure this matters since the symptom's of the problem remain unchanged. When I first reported the problem I was on the eve of upgrading the OS on the server I've been trying to get this working on. --- Will Fulmer Database Administrator Northampton Community College Bethlehem, PA >>> Stas Bekman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 8/8/2004 10:43:14 PM >>> William, please followup on all the emails.
