Oracle 10g and Perl

by in 0

When I run my perl script before installing oracle, it is fine with no error. But when I installed oracle 10g I got this error
Use of :unique is deprecated at c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\perl\5.8.3\lib\MSWin32-x86-multi-threa d/Config.pm.. ..

 I don't even use oracle in my Perl script. So I am totally confused.
It took me a while to google it and I found this solution.
Just go to environment variable and remove PERL5LIB variable or set it to your perl installaton folder. That fixed it like a charm. 
Oracle comes with its own perl and that one is making me crazy. :D

Dell VOSTRO 3460, Battery (Plugged in, not charging) Fix

by in 2

I intentionally used my laptop given from office until 10% battery last night to discharge battery. This morning when I switched on my laptop it show
 " Battery cannot be identified press F1 for skipped and F2 for setup"
 I skipped with F1 but when charging the battery, It showed Plugged in, not charging
It took me a while to google it for the fix. If it's happened to you also, It is dell being stupid, your battery is still ok.
 It is easy to fix, 

  1. power off your laptop 
  2. take the battery out 
  3. Press power button for 10 second 
  4. put the battery back. 
  5. switch it on. 
That's all.
