From: Rick Westerman <westerman [...] purdue.edu>
Now that I explore this more, the plugin dies whenever it encounters a soft-link to an non-existant file: E.g., lrwxrwxrwx 1 core ltlweb 79 Jan 11 2010 MetaCere -> /phillip/gs_flx/data/R_2009_12_23_10_MetaCeretopteris/D_fullProcessing/MetaCere In other words the file 'MetaCere' is linking a file system that does not exist. The plugin dies at this point. ------------- Crashes at line 199 @stats = stat(_) When encountering a self-referential file. E.g. lrwxrwxrwx 1 core ltlweb 2 Feb 1 14:34 /home/core/web/projects/in -> in Yes, I know that such recursive links should not exist! But in case they do then DirectoryView should handle them without crashing. Thanks for writing the plugin. I am just now exploring it but it looks useful. -- Rick Westerman westerman@purdue.edu Bioinformatics specialist at the Genomics Facility.

My fix to the problem is the simple (but slightly slower): my @stat = stat($file); I tried a couple of ways of doing the full stat($file) when a symbolic (soft) link is present and the quicker stat(_) otherwise but nothing seemed to work. I doubt if the time difference is that great in any case. Show quoted text
