regarding the select() bug in 5.8.0 ok, i can't find a bug number per se, but i did find a perl581delta - what is new for perl v5.8.1 that describes the select bug at: http://www.enstimac.fr/Perl/allpod/en-5.8.5/perl581delta.pod search for select a couple of times. i can't believe that no new perl rpm has been created for redhat, latest perl release is already 5.8.6 if michael has some manner of having linux folks making a new rpm, i would appreciate it as other would too. i think the fedora releases have perl version v5.8.3 though. robb...

Hey Robb, I thought I'd remembered you identifying this bug, but can't seem to come by that information in my e-mail archives. I did find that you wrote: The four-argument form of select() did not preserve $! (errno) properly when there were errors in the underlying call. This is now fixed. version 5.8.1 So I googled it up and found that this fix refers to Win32 architecture - see: http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl/pod/perl581delta.pod Are you sure that was the problem? Do you know the perl bug number as Michael asks for? Thanks, Tom. Tom Baltzer Software Engineer UCAR Office of Programs Unidata Program Center P.O.

If Unidata has identified a known bug (that has already been fixed!!!) in perl, then, please, please, please, tell us the perl bug number <http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/>, so we can let Red Hat know, so they can release a supported update.
