Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.

ifup, ifdown, ifanywhichwaybuthtewayiwant
Every once in a while, I type
ifup ppp0
and instead of the normal connection noise on my external modem, I hear garbage and the modem lights (which I have no docs for) set into odd patterns and I can't connect. Subsequent connection attempts usually return an error message similar to
Failed to activate with error 6 (sometimes it's an error 35)
Trying to do
ifdown ppp0
or
/etc/inet.d/network restart
seems to have no effect and I have to reboot the box to clear the error. ifup has no documentation and reading through the ifup script provided no clues. I hate error codes. I hate, hate, hate error codes.
I hate error codes.

Been a long time... (Score:1)
on my machine shows error 6 as not being able to get a lock.
It took a bit of googling... but, after looking at this [64.233.167.104], I think the error 35 is where the script can't find a pid file. (You may not even be using this code... but I couldn't really find a reference to the error code 35 elsewhere.)
Anyways... I'd almost bet that sometimes when you ifdown, it doesn't always clean up the lock file.
This is all just a wild

Thanks for the info. I'll take a look at that.
