OT: Perl & UTF-8

Hi! I want to substitute element content by entity references in UTF-8 encoded XML files using Perl. My script currently only works with ISO 8859 encodings. Is there a module that can be used in Perl scripts that correctly reads and writes files according to specified encoding? If so, what's the n

OT: JBoss & Linux Threads

Hi! This is a rather general Linux kernel/glibc issue. In the JBoss documentation http://www.jboss.org/online-manual/HTML/ch10s02.html I read that Linux allegedly does not support "real threads". My questions on this issue are: 1. Is that statement correct at all? 2. If its correct, wh

acroread crashes

Hi! When viewing PDFs on a Debian Potato system with Acrobat Reader 4.05, I encounter crashes with the following error message: Exited with error code: 0x400e0009. Something similar happens to me when viewing PDFs from within Netscape 4.78 using either the nppdf.so plugin or Acrobat Read

OT: free cmd is lying to me

Hi! First of all, I admit that this is slightly OT, since I believe this to be not strictly related to Debian, but rather a general mainboard/kernel/mem config issue. I got a system equipped with a Supermicro dual processor mainboard, one PIII 1GHz CPU (the other processor slot is currently unus
