Re: [MacPerl] Is "Document contains no data" prob related to MacPerl? (fwd)

[Mohit Sabharwal <mohit@purdue.edu>]

Thats sounds like a good idea.

The prob. seems to have been solved for now. I decided to use the
Internet Explorer instead (where I dont get this problem) and the next
time I went back to  Netscape, it started working fine there too ! Which
left me clueless...and confused because I had neither alloted more
momory for MacPerl nor broken my requests to smaller peices !

Any idea, what could have happened ?
