I do remember something like that, probably older versions (4/3?). Never had
that proplem with IE 5 and 6.

Hi ,
Thanks for the reply..I'm using Red Hat Linux
I used these browsers Galeon,Konquero and Netscape.
All are giving the same error.As u said i tried using the tar -tf
command and here's the output of that
#tar -tf Net-Telnet-Cisco-1.10.tar.gz
tar: 40 garbage bytes ignored at end of archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Also i tried renaming it to .tar file and tried tar -xvf and still got
the same output as given above in this message.
Any idea whats wrong?
Kindly reply
Thanks and regards,
Prashant

FWIW: It downloads and unzips/untars fine using WinZip on Windoze 98SE.
I downloaded with Netscape 6.2 .

I've used IE on Solaris, but that was a few years ago. Far more stable
than Netscape was at the time.
Not that this has anything to do with Perl.

A serious bug, or the "SUN tar is following another standard than GNU tar,
and that standard doesn't allow for filenames over 100 chars" issue?
And, as has been explained on the p5p mailinglist, due to backwards
compatability reasons, this is unlikely to ever change.

Isn't it self-explanatory? There's no such file.

Okay, I'm going to take a wild guess here and suggest that there's no such
file as makefile.pl. I don't know why that occurred to me.

Hi,
I have been programming in Perl for long and at number of places I come
across modules which say they follow a plugin framework and anyone can
plug their plugins (codes) into their software.
Can anyone give me pointers as to how to develop such a software which
supports plugin framework . I mean can I read articles or tutorials about
it somewhere?
Thanks,
Vikas.

You can also set the LESS environment variable to "-r".

Hi All,
I keep getting the message in Google groups,

when trying to access the links in this group. I did a Google search
and only found one result for this problem (link below).

It is not only clpm but other groups as well. I don't know how to
reach Google with this problem - couldn't find anyone to contact at
their site.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I know this is _way_ OT, but
didn't know where else to ask. Even if someone replies to this post, I
probably won't be able to view it!!

Responding late, hope you still follow this thread.
Please DO read the CGI.pm documentation -- it'll contain a number

I have a hard time matching and replacing this pattern. It works fine
for single line but when I want to replace multiple line pattern, it
doesn't seem to work. I spend a lot of time on faq but I guess I m not
smart enough to figure out where I am going wrong. I couldn't do it
using the regular exp. so I tried doing it using Tie::File.
Please help me with this.
============================
use Tie::File;
use strict;
use warnings;
# tie @array to filename using Tie::File
tie my @array, 'Tie::File', 'result.txt' or die "Cannot open
result.txt:$!";
while(<result.txt>){
for(@array) {
my $pattern = "The text

lines inclunding white lines and indentation";
my $replace = " The replacing

This is a short description (for another module) that should give you
