dws's Journaldws's use Perl JournalProcess Failures That Smell- December 25, 2004 Once you've got the pie process down, and are producing repeatably outstanding pumpkin pies, don't adjust the oven temperature after your wife has discovered that the oven has been cooking 25F° low. Stick with what works. "But the recipe says..." isn't a winning move. Trust me on this. There are parallels here to software development, I'm sure.http://use.perl.org/~dws/journal/22451?from=rss Bizarre Bugs on a Monday Morning- December 21, 2004 This morning's expedition into the bizzare involved tracking down an obscure interaction between mod_perl 1.99 and CGI::Simple. Normally, these two get along just fine, though we noticed a while back that file uploads would cause later users of the same Apache process (e.g., some other browser) to lose URI arguments. (Finding this involved some fine detective work and a bit of luck.) The fix at the time was to note that a multipartform-data post had just been handled, then rflush the request.http://use.perl.org/~dws/journal/22393?from=rss |
