  I'm glad to finally have a chance to correct a mistake in the printing of the original conference CD, where my "Beautifier for the Perl Language" article shows up as a 0-byte file. I'd appreciate it if somebody would copy the article I submitted for the CD, from the page on the Consultix web site [teachmeperl.com] to the on-line version of the CD, to correct this age-old problem. Or better yet, get in touch with me, and I'll send you a tarball with all the images included.

  TIA,

    On second thought, there *are* no images for that paper, so the page on the Consultix web site [teachmeperl.com] tells the whole story. (I was thinking of my TPC5.0 paper on Perl beautification [teachmeperl.com], which uses some image files.)

  Under the User_Applications [perl.org] directory, there are four links that do nothing: FreeWRL, FreeWRLs, PDL, PDLs .

  Also, in Applied_Perl/Portable Perl/index.html [perl.org], there is a link "Portable Perl" to http://conference.perl.com/pace/conf/Portable_Perl [perl.com] which does not exist.

  Just wondering if these can be corrected?

    mike_arms,

    I think that was a goof on the CD itself (the other poster mentioned something about this as well). I'll double check the contents when I get home tonight, but I did note that some index.html files were blank.

    If that's the case, then the only hope is to contact the original presenter of each topic and hope they have an original (or reasonable facsimile) somewhere tucked away or on a web site.

    Quick followup. The four links you want under User_Applications are as follows:

    PDL [perl.org]

    PDLs [perl.org]

    FreeWRL [perl.org]

    FreeWRLs [perl.org]

    As for the Portable Perl link, I think you'll have to take it up with ORA.
