[thelist] [OT] spurious Friday link

It's Friday. You're still at the office (which for some of you over the pond is getting might late). You need a giggle. If you haven't already found it, NTKnow delivers snide geek humour weekly. Seeing it's caustic wit show up in your mail will help you laugh at other people, and that's always fun.

<tip type="More Troubleshooting Perl on win32">
Per Oliver's tip, you've scoured your perl script for flock()s and it's still not working. Here's a couple other common *nixian constucts to look for:
fork()
	perl doesn't have this (yet) on win32
exec() or backticks
       I don't know how many scripts I've seen do something silly like
       $time = `/bin/date`; which is a very nonportable way of doing
       $time = localtime(time);
</tip>
