Although, for example, the web page at ##### ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/src/5.0/ ##### ... now says: ##### perl-5.27.7.tar.gz 17052 KB 12/21/17 12:58:00 AM EST ##### ... (a) it didn't say that at all between 7:00 and 9:30 AM EST, during which time I refreshed my browser several times; and (b) my cron job set to go off at 4:03 AM EST could not locate perl-5.27.7.tar.gz at that time and so failed. Similarly, the web page at ##### ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/src/5.0/ ##### ... now says: ##### perl-5.27.7.tar.gz 12/21/17 2:20:00 AM EST ##### ... but it wasn't saying that earlier this morning (EST). There's something happening here, but you don't know what it is -- do you, Mister Jones? Thank you very much. Jim KeenanThread Previous
