Nope. I created the entire list via MacPerl. Downloaded HTML web pages, massaged the data, and wrote it out to the hard drive. BBEdit says it's a Macintosh file. I can read the file via Chipmunk Basic, RealBasic, CodeWarrior C/C++, and Think C v6.0. No problem. MacPerl - gags. And that's with MacPerl set to 60000K. That's right - 60MB of memory. That's why I'm wondering about if it is just me or has something to do with MacPerl. I tend to feel that it will turn out to be something >I<'ve done. Since I don't think anyone else is experiencing these problems. :-/ Of course, how many other people have MacPerl set to 60MB too? Maybe this has never come up before because no one's ever really needed that much memory or because no one's ever used that much memory before on a Mac. Don't know. I'll have to try setting MacPerl back down to something like 8192K and see what happens. :-) ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
