Limitations
|
Some come from the OS, others are due to W3Perl itself.
- On system with restricted length filename (MacOS 9, Win3.11 or RiscOS), you
can't use the highest level of precision which is 4.
- Your logfile should have at least one request by week. If not, date may shift.
- You need to get the latest Perl version in order to parse logfile
larger than 2 Gb (or you need to split your logfile).
- URL mapping may fail with some awful HTML files (Bill, buy a HTML book please !). Users public html directories are not parse by the script in some case (to be fixed).
- Symbolic links works only in a few case (to be fixed).
- You need to get logfile at least two days long to compute something.
- W3Perl will exit if date format is not the english one (answer : export LANG="eng" or setenv LANG eng)
- W3Perl produces holes in the countries HTML page.
Update your pays-conv file to add the new country.
- W3Perl can't cope with more than 120 crunched logfiles or 10 years of logfiles. If
you are using a webserver since 10 years, tell me !
