Quick rundown of both installs...

OK, I've gotten myself roped into doing some talks for the BSP next Saturday
(must remember to duck *then* dodge next time ). The problem is, there's
a lot of different stuff which *could* be useful, but there's only a limited
amount of time for me (and others ) to talk.
So, in the spirit of open
I'm trying to work out how I should get my sad arse to the BSP on Saturday.
The motorbike is a little sick, and I'll probably need the time on the train
trip up to finish off talk slides, so I'm leaning towards the "wonders" of
public transport. From the look of the street directory, Redfern is a

You can go:
print "This is the value @{[$x->SomeFunc()]}";
But are you sure you want to do that? ;)

Hey All,
Just wondering how people are dealing with the above mentioned virus on
their amavis mail scanners.
This virus is sent as a passworded zip file, so amavis cannot unzip it to
scan it.
Has anyone got a work-around for this?
Regards,
Scott

Hi
Converted my mail system to maildir (previous thread), all working well
converted my mbox folders and my procmail.
Now my problem is for some reason messages coming in have no 'lines'
attribute in the header so mutt keeps telling me the size of the emails
are 0.
Any body seen this before. Bi

You could add the Lines header with procmail, but that's a bit lame. Who
cares how many lines there are anyway? But if you realy want to:
Hi all,
This is a question about the Deb SIG bug squash this weekend.
I have a *repeatable* Debian bug involving libdbi-perl on a Ti PowerBook
