And, STILL, you fail to provide: the EXACT Perl script that was run on the DATA the actual DATA that was processed by that UNreferenced properly Perl script the actual .xls result of the running of the UNknown Perl script on the UNknown data The "prosecution report" that you provided does NOT contain the word "Google", nor the word "Cacheback". WHERE is the report that you describe here?: Quote:: As it develops, the computer crimes department hired an independent forensic examiner to look at a separate Google search made a few weeks earlier that same year, and his software {Cacheback} generated a one hour time stamp error for that earlier search, plus numerous other serious errors. Law enforcement had to admit these errors and the software developer had to amend his software program. Any evidence that the software Cacheback actually produced such a timing error AND that was later changed, specifically for this issue? WHICH EXACT version of Cacheback were used/changed?

If you don't supply this information right at the start, you'll waste yours and others' time, and delay the actual remedy to your problem, by forcing everyone to spend one or more rounds of communication back and forth simply trying to wring the relevant information out of you. .... Quote:: Also note that problem reports that you deliberately distort will yield an incorrect diagnosis and very probably an ineffective remedy. jaclaz
