An unbreakable toy is useful for breaking other toys NAME Buffy - An encryption scheme for Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans SYNOPSIS use Buffy; print "Hello world"; DESCRIPTION The first time you run a program under `use Buffy', the module removes most of the unsightly characters from your source file. The code continues to work exactly as it did before, but now it looks like this: use Buffy; BUffY bUFFY BUffY bUFFY bUfFy buffy BUFfy buFFY BufFy BufFY bUFfy BuFFY buffy bufFy bUffy bUffY BuFfy BuffY bUFfy BUfFY BUFFy Buffy bUffY BuFFY BUFFy BufFy BUFfy BUfFY buFfy BuffY BuFfy BUfFY bUffy buFFy BUffy bUffy DIAGNOSTICS `Can't buffy '%s'' Buffy could not access the source file to modify it. `Can't rebuffy '%s'' Buffy could not access the source file to execute it.

First question - is the second if statement in a separate block?
Second question - is your server using mod_perl?
If the answer to both those questions is yes, then mod_perl is doing something nasty
with closures and your blocks/subs.
Try passing $q around as a parameter - that usually solves the problem.
Alternatively, if you don't mind using the standard interface, then use that.

Now all we need is Mutator that can de-DNA code, parse the perl,
change it in subtle ways and then re-DNA it.
Actually, i'm quite pleased Leon implemented Buffy.pm and took
up the namespace before we started inventing modules for all
of Sunnydale, along the lines of
$a = Angel-new();
$b = Buffy-new();
$w = Willow-new();
$a-curse();
$a-{has_soul}; # returns 1
$a-makelovewith($w);
$a-{has_soul}; # returns 1
$a-makelovewith($b); # due to nature of argument
# $a-receivemomentofperfecthappiness()
# is called
$a-{has_soul}; # returns 0
$a-curse();
in fact with some `debug' code to stdout, you could have a BtVS
script generator

My two recommended suppliers are; http;//www.compconnect.co.uk web http://www.freebsd-services.co.uk ta muchly .. off to surf :) I'm assuming you already have a basestation. If not, you'll probably be wanting one of those too. I can personally recommend the Apple Airport basestation yes .. I'd heard Airport was good .. can you still configuer it if you don't have an apple to talk to it with? indeed is there any configuration to do .. or is it jusrt a plain ethernet bridge? and I've heard good things of the Orinoco Residential Gateway. umm .. the Orinoco residential thing .. that seems to have a load of stuff I don't need like ISDN access and modems ... I was planning on just bunging a PCI adapter in the border router with an external aerial and configuring IPCHAINS to send the appropriate stuff down the approprite intefaces .. the residential gateway seems fine for most uses, but I dint fancy letting un firewalled packets straight out of my ISDN into the ether and thence laptops etc, the PCI adaptor/card solution should work out about 100 quid cheaper. so I think I'm settled on the ORINOCO PC Card - Gold really as my solution. I was having trouble finding a Lucent supplier, various people stock various things but it seems hard to find the bit I actually want ... I rather fancied the proper Lucent/Orinoco ethernet/wavelan access point thing that you screw on the wall .. except the'yre 600 quid a throw ..hell, thats more than I pay for a whole boxen! thanks for the info I'll give the two places an e-mail. -- Robin Szemeti The box said "requires windows 95 or better" So I installed Linux!
