Hi! Is there anyone using the Debian eperl and wml packages? I have been experienced the same problem as Larry Gilbert's on my hamm (Debian pre-2.0) system. ePerl segfaults and dump cores after it finishes processing the file. WML (Website META Language) also calls its own ePerl /usr/bin/wml_p3_eperl for one of its passes, and apparently wml_p3_eperl also returns with a segfault and a core dump.
My system is: Linux lovelife 2.0.32 #1 Sun Dec 14 09:37:02 MST 1997 i486 unknown | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============-==============-============================================ ii eperl 2.2.5-1.1 ePerl interprets an ASCII file bristled with ii wml 1.4.6-0.1 Website META Language by Ralf Engelschall (Both are non-maintainer libc6 releases, by Joey Hess and me respectively. <grin>). WML comes with its own ePerl 2.2.8 as wml_p3_eperl. Have you experienced the same problem? Or, have you ever been able to get ePerl or WML to work at all? :) Thanks a lot! :) -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling [EMAIL PROTECTED] Civil Engineering http://www.ualberta.ca/~foka/ University of Alberta, Canada Keep smiling! *^_^* ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 10 Dec 1997 21:07:10 -0800 (PST) From: Larry Gilbert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Bug#15818: eperl dumps core after doing its thing Resent-Date: Thu, 11 Dec 1997 05:03:04 GMT Resent-From: Larry Gilbert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Resent-To: debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org Resent-cc: Heiko Schlittermann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Package: eperl Version: 2.2.5-1.1 After it processes a file, eperl concludes with a segmentation fault and a core dump.
