( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I am running an NT 4.0 server service pack 6 box with the latest active perl on it. I am using a program called MRTG (multi-router traffic grapher) that uses SNTP to graph bandwidth of routers on our network. The program has been working for about 8 months now, and yesterdayi rebooted the machine, and tryed to start up the MRTG and Dr. Watson gives this error:

An application error has occurred and an application error log is being generated. PERL.EXE Exception: access violation (0xc0000005), Address: 0x00460041

When i use perl for most anything else it works great, but for some reason it always gives this access violation now. I thought the perl binary could have gotten corrupted so i removed it and reinstalled it. When i do the query manually it seems to give this fault when writing output to a disk, however when i redirect it to STDOUT, it gives the error still. I was just curious if anyone has had this problem before? What could have caused it, my code is solid and has been working for a while, i don't know how a reboot could cause such problems.

thanks for your time

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
