Hi all,

You may have heard of the NetFlix prize:

http://www.netflixprize.com/,
http://www.timelydevelopment.com/demos/NetflixPrize.aspx

Is anyone working on this?  Does anyone have (regardless of whether 
you're working on it) working code to do this, at least marginally
well?  Are you willing to share it with me?  Mind if I clean it
up and post it on CPAN for you?  Or does someone know of a module
on CPAN that I simply failed to find?  So, er, I need something
like this.

Thanks,
-scott

I'd *love* to go, but I'm in Vegas for work.  Sorry to miss.

This was probably yesterday, come to think of it.  It's extremely
rare that I'm offline a whole day, but I got lost in the gears
of Greyhound and I don't have GPRS any more.

Hi all,

Keeping up with my perversion of forwarding Perl crashers to the
list, here's the latest.

# New Ticket Created by  Reini Urban

perl -wle '%::=();//' crashes in all perl versions.

In regexec.c PL_replgv is empty after the whole symboltable is cleared 
and then used as GV.

regexec.c: SV* const oreplsv = GvSV(PL_replgv);
The gp pointer is 0x0, the type is BIND.

I would check for the empty gp pointer in PL_replgv and create an empty 
but valid stash.
The problem is the semantically an empty stash should be allowed in 
simple regex's. At least perl should not crash.
