Was wondering again if anyone had problems with timediff on a linux machine? Standard CON_ defines in interpreter.c lock up the mud and then close (tics not updated or a crash on timediff, have posted a few times on this and at this point its a questioning again so I can ask an offtopic question without feeling guilty >=) Offtopic: Set up my Linux box and was wondering if anyone has done any work with something like Perl or shell scripting to telnet into a POP mail server on port 110, log in with a username and password, see how many messages are there, take them and dump them to a file, remove them from the server, and quit out? Or would it be better to try this in C? Not sure if I'd be better making a direct socket connection or trying to run through output redirection... Any ideas? Basically I want to take it off the mail server and spool it to my local /var/spool/mail -- and possibly make a generic CGI WWW interface for POP mail servers.
