Re: nl_langinfo - problem

Well, I have always had issues with some of the proverbial "netiquette" concepts that appear out of the ether ad infinitum. At the same time I'll be the first to admit ignorance and am receptive to education on the rationale behind some of the edicts. I would hope that there is some mirroring rationale for these as in the social world, even though idiosyncratic and esoteric.

What is "truncated and f'ups set" and how is this set?

Quoth Adam Smith <adamsmith@xxxxxxxx>:

UNIX FreeBSD -V 4.9 O/S, i386 arch, Perl -V 5.8.2 Installation


Please don't start a new thread with the same question: continue with
the one you had.

Well, I was adding a significantly new perspective to the question, person who may have bypassed it previously may have an input based on the new realization.

Is there a cuttoff period for this, is it arbitrarily set? Ex: If I have a question that could be linked to a previous post made in 1995, am I bound to post under that 11 yr old thread. And I do have posts made in 1995.

Do you recall, 'gopher' and 'veronica' etc?

Please don't cross-post to so many groups: pick one that's most relevant
(clpm in this case).

ONE! Sounds like a 'religious' mantra, I did not use all perl groups. I choose those that appeared applicable and would have attracted responses from persons with likely know how.

And from the "multitude" of responses received I have not been very successful either. You were the only one responding so far after many days.

For a chronological recall:
[i] First I thought this was an isolated script problem
[ii] Then it seemed to be Perl system problem
[iii]Now it seems that there may even be an O/S connection or twist to the problem. Can I post to free BSD lists also? or should I restrict myself to a single perl list


If you have a valid reason for cross-posting, please set followups.

I hope the reasons cited above are actual reasons first and then valid reasons too
I addressed the set followups issue earlier
Is there a "netiquette newsgroup or list" somewhere?

Please don't post to comp.lang.perl: it doesn't exist.
Odd, it still comes in on my ISP Newsfeed, with several thousands messages, the last excluding mine => 6/21/06 9:31 AM

Ben

Thanks

PS: Can I Post to freeBSD in light of current realization, can I do a cross posting or can I create a new thread?
