Re: threads terminate my perl scripts

2006-07-26 Thread Chris Wagner
If perl itself is dieing just from doing use threads I would try reinstalling it with a fresh download. If it still does it I would file a bug report. http://bugs.activestate.com/ -- REMEMBER THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ---=< WTC 911 >=-- "...ne cede malis" 0100 _

Okay, tested just copying the Perl folder to E drive and it worked. I uninstalled perl and deleted the folders from my hard drive for testing purposes, burned perl folder onto the CD, deleted eg and html folders for space but it wasn't really necessary, there's plenty of room. My CD drives ar
