"out of memory" error in Panther, not in Jaguar?

(sorry if this is a repost, I sent it before confirming my subscription) I'm having a memory problem with Perl in Panther that I didn't have in Jaguar. When I try to read a large text file using the line input operator (<>), I get an "out of memory" error: *** malloc: vm_allocate(size=8421376) f

Re: "out of memory" error in Panther, not in Jaguar?

Oh, you are so right. I guess Panther is just stingier with its memory, and I never got bitten by this before! Thanks!! XB --- Jarkko Hietaniemi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > *** malloc: vm_allocate(size=8421376) failed > (error > > code=3) > > *** malloc[5576]: error: Can't allocate region >

CGI: Cookie isn't set

Hi all, I am experiencing a problem that appears to be caused by a cookie not being set, but so far it occurs only on a couple of IE/MacOS 9 machines. I am assuming that if I set the cookie preferences in IE to "always accept" cookies should work. What else could prevent a cookie from being set?

Okay, I seem to have forgotten how to use CPAN. Where are the detailed instructions? (perldoc cpan only gets me a page.) And while I'm making noise, When you have perl 5.6 as the system perl (/usr/bin) and perl 5.8 as a parallel install in /usr/local/bin, you want to set your user's path to put

Hi! I am new to the list. Here is what I have learned so far about perl and the Mac. 1.) My experience with Mac OS X is that you need to heavily modify your PATH. If you add /usr/bin to the path you can just type perl -MCPAN -eshell. I also verified that the size of perl matched the perl versi
