[Rmannounce] RepeatMasker Webserver Status

[Robert Hubley]

The RepeatMasker webservice ( www.repeatmasker.org ) was down due to a
problem with the recent automatic updates of Perl.  For some reason
CentOS/Redhat have broken the default settings for the Scalar::Util module
in their latest distributions.  We have fixed the problem and restored the
webservice for RepeatMasking jobs.  Sorry for any inconvenience this may
have caused.  If you run RepeatMasker locally you may be experiencing the
same problem and will need to update or reinstall your Scalar::Util perl
module.  The error message from RepeatMasker/Perl looks like this:

weaken is only available with the XS version of Scalar::Util at
/u1/local/rmserver/share/ArrayList.pm line 69
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /u1/local/rmserver/share/ArrayList.pm
line 69.
Compilation failed in require at
/u1/local/rmserver/share/SearchResultCollection.pm line 74.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/rmserver/share/RepeatMasker line
340.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/rmserver/share/RepeatMasker
line 340.

Please let me know if you have any questions this.
