Storing large records in a database

I'm using MLDBM to store multi-level hashes in a database, and I need to find a solution (other than compression) to store more than the 1024 byte limit. Is there another database package I should be looking at? Is there some compile-time options I can use to up that limit? -Phil -- To unsubs

SNMP MIBs in Perl

Does anyone have any good suggestions for modules that can be used to parse SNMP MIBs? I'd like to be able to read the MIB into a data structure, and then look up OIDs, the types of values, etc. Thanks -Phil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL

How Random is Random?

The documentation on "keys" and "each" says something like the following: --- Returns a list consisting of all the keys of the named hash. (In scalar context, returns the number of keys.) The keys are returned in an apparently random order. --- I have a database (>50,000 items) that I would lik

Your recommendations to tie multi-level data structures

All, I would like the ability to tie a database and use it as a multi-level data structure, like $tied{hash}{subhash} $tied{hash}{array}[0] Etc... Any recommendations for this? I've heard I should check out the MLDBM module. How have others conquered this issue? Is it possible? Thanks, P

STATing large files

Folks, Does anyone know of a workaround for stat'ing large files on perl < 5.6.1 ? For large files, stat and print -M both return nothing. We cannot install any modules, or upgrade/recompile perl. Thanks, Phil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAI

Perl version on Solaris

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out exactly what I need to support and I'm getting conflicting inputs. Perhaps someone can shed some light on the subject. I'm trying to determine which version of perl ships by default with Solaris 8. I've been told two things: perl 5.005 and "no perl is installe

Crypt::CBC

What am I doing wrong? I encrypt a tar file and immediatly decrypt it (in a different function, however) and it is a totally borked file upon decryption. I've basically copy-pasted the example from Crypt:CBC. The only clue I have is this warning: Use of uninitialized value in pack at /usr/

Re: using modules only when available

This is what I tried: eval "use Tk"; if ($@) { $notk = 1; } Now, on machines where Tk doesn't exist, it works fine. On machines where Tk does exist, the program exits silently when I begin to use Tk. Perhaps there is a caveat with using this with Tkany ideas, anyone? -Phil >

using modules only when available

I have a program that has an optional GUI which makes use of Tk. On machines without Tk, the program errors out looking for the Tk modules. Currently, I am just saying use Tk; Is there some method I can use that will prevent it from dying in the event Tk is not on the current machine? Or, i

Threads blocking on solaris

Hi all, I have a very interesting problem. I have my main program waiting for data on stdin, while other threads are running - and lauching yet more threads. Threads block while trying to launch new threads until I hit enter. The code below (which I whipped out quickly to demo the problem) b
