Known Anomalies
Item Description Solution
1 On Windows NT/2000, SpectroRx Perl
scripts do not run from a command
window.
Perl scripts execute correctly when run in
a bash shell window
This issue stems from file associations
and the different installed versions of
Perl. File associations between the
SpectroRx scripts and the SPECTRUM
installed version of Perl (5.004_04) are
not created.
When you install a different version of
Perl (5.004_04), file associations are
created. However, when that version of
Perl is used to execute the scripts, the
scripts fail.
2 Using meta characters (e.g., *) or
unmatched quotation marks in a query
result in undefined search results.
Avoid using meta characters or
unmatched quotation marks in a query.
3 When running SpectroRx from a
command line, warnings similar to the
following can appear:
Use of uninitialized value at
<script_name> line xxx
This occurs using the -w option when
executing Perl from within the cbr
executable. These messages can be
ignored.
4 When you select View All Cases and click
OK, no cases are retrieved. The case
library is empty if you do not have
sufficient permissions to access
SpectroRx files.
If you do not have write permissions on
the CBR/SpecRX directory you receive
the error message:
Unable to log errors!!
Change the permissions for all users in
the CBR/SpecRX directory to
Read/Write (drwx rwx rwx or 777).
