Re: Did not find leading dereferencer, detected at offset 8231

FYI: I've been googling your question, and I haven't been able to find anything about offset 8231, at least in Perl. I did get some info about 8231 on the Microsoft site. According to the Win site that I was on, offset 8231 is:

offset 8231 the requested authentication method is not supported by the server

Are you on Windows? I can't tell, so you need to be more precise. I would change course here and take the advice in the previous replies to heart. Use Text::Balanced as a starting point.

The "8231" part is bound to be a value that depends on the particular data being given to the script (that is, it refers to the offset from the beginning of a string or file). The part you want to google for is "Did not find leading dereferencer, detected at offset". When I put that in the search box, the first significant (informative) hit turned out to be the source code for Text::Balanced. So that's where the particular message came from. (It's unlikely that another module would use the exact same wording.)	[reply]
