[Dxspider-support] CTY-3105 Country Files - 03 March 2021

Luigi,

Thank you but it didn’t occur to me to see what happened if I deleted /spider/local_data/prefix_data.pl.  And as you saw it executed with success.  After the upgrade I still had a /spider/data/prefix_data.pl.  I deleted it and ran load/prefixes from the console.  It did not report success.  So I created a new prefix_data.pl file and copied it to /spider/data and ran load/prefixes. A sh/prefix version showed 106 EI success!  It still reads it from the /spider/data directory.

It’s not a fix that will work with my crontab script, but a workaround until a fix is implemented.  Mojo users take note.

I was looking at Prefix.pm and saw at line 76: my $fn = localdata("prefix_data.pl”);  I was wondering if should be local_data and not localdata.  Didn’t make a difference.
