<div class="moz-forward-container"><font face="monospace">Im trying
to get the external showdx command to work, but I get an error
message from Prefix.PM<br>
<br>
(*) Spot::init - reading in 2 days of spots into cache<br>
Can't call method "get" on an undefined value at
/spider/perl/Prefix.pm line 216<br>
, <GEN1> line 1.<br>
<br>
This did work on a vintage node. I directed the output to text
files with periodic crontab updates. I suspect that the
innumerable changes in Prefix.pm to accommodate the crazy
callsigns causes this blip. Is there a ready way to do this? Or
a simple tweak in the code to assign a default value?<br>
<br>
Used to work like below. I do have really the old node running
just to collect these spots and in a hurry to pull the plug. Is
there a new, ready to go, way to do this?<br>
