Hello Monks, Long time fan, first time poster. I have a Perl script that collects a webpage and picks out particular pieces of code in order to draw up an array of links. These links are then inserted into a MySQL database. Next, a 'foreach' loop takes each URL from the array and analyses that page creating a hash where the hash key is the column name in a MySQL table and the hash value is the entry for that column. Finally, another SQL statement, via DBI, updates the database with all of the hash values. I had this working fine before but now, after moving from my dev. server to a real one, find that the script stops updating the database after ten of these updates (11 updates in total including the initial one). I appreciate that this could be a MySQL problem but the setup for the two servers appears to be identical so I suspect it may be the Perl. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks Chris
