I need to take a set of numbers (anywhere from 1,000 numbers to 10,000
numbers) and graph them with a bar chart. The bar chart can not be
anywhere more than 550 pixels.
Does anyone know of a way to figure out how to best average the data

I'm having a mysterious problem with my script. I'm using
Net::FTP to transfer files from a remote server and only a
part of the file is transferred (2080 bytes vs. 12000 bytes).
After that I try to issue a PWD command which hangs in the

Ideally I'd like to writa an application, that can work under

I wish to install spamassassin 3.1 on aix 5.2 with gcc. It require several
modules like sha1, etc. If i use CPAN

and getting the following error message:
make:*** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
/usr/bin/make -j3 -- NOT OK

I was playing with Lingua::RU::Number, and noticed that it could only

Does anyone could correct this?
TIA,

I can't get Win32::API to install under cygwin and I couldn't find much
on the web or groups about how to get it to install.
What is the best way to call a function in an external DLL? Is
