Parse::FixedLength. where did pars() go?
Stan Brown
One of the modules that I'm using is Parse::FixedLength. On an aloder
machine (where everything works), I have version 3.1 of this module
installed. On the new one, I have installed version 5.26.
When I call parse(), now on the new one, I get an error about it not being
declared.
Is there a change in how I need to sue this?

The docs for that module say that a parse() method is available and give
an example of its use - is that how you're using it?

If you want to sue someone, contact a lawyer. :-)

Versions before 5 had a memory leak (not sure exactly which ones),
and the calling API changed completely
when it changed authors and was rewritten in versions 5 and later.
It is now an OO module, and has no exported functions. You'll need to re-read
the docs and make the code look more like the examples there. It is
actually more efficient now, as the format is now defined in the object
constructor, and not on every call to parse(). Or you can keep using the
old version if it works for you :)
HTH,
