new file hanging?

[Brandon Ooi]

Hi,

Ah yeah interesting. I too was undef'ing $/. Scoping the change seems to 
have fixed part of the problem. I was undef'ing $/ so I could slurp the 
data in one call. Now it allows me to "print" into the filehandle.

However, now it hangs on the close function...

$fh->close()

I see fids and devids in the 'file_on' table and files in the 'tempfile' 
table. but I don't see any files in the 'file' table and there is 
nothing in the mogdata directories. Anybody know why this command would 
block?
