in thread Odd eval Problem

Abigail,

I only included the code I was having trouble with. :-) As I said in another reply, if all the code is in a text file it works fine. If I randomly move subroutines from the text file to the database, it seems, after pulling out about 20k of code eval seems to break. It boggles my neophyte Perl skills.

I will explain in another reply why I need that many evals.

    is it possible that the database is not actually storing the whole pile of code? most databases have a size limit for each individual field. try retrieving it from the database and printing it to a file, then compare the new, DB-filtered file to your original file using diff. see if they are really still the same.

    that's my first guess, anyway.
