Source field in fulllist

Hi,

As of 17th May, the source field in the downloadable fulllist of postcodes
at:

http://www.npemap.org.uk/data/fulllist

...seems to have gone awry. Where it used to list Dracos, Freethepostcode,
etc, it now shows "ARRAY(0x????????)".

Cheers,
Chris.

Perl was upgraded from 5.8 to 5.10 around then (along with various other
software upgrades) so I strongly suspect that as a cause.

Nick, David, can you spot the error? I probably won't have time this
week.

Everyone else - code is in

https://urchin.earth.li/svn/npemap/trunk/npemap.org.uk/

and the script in question is

https://urchin.earth.li/svn/npemap/trunk/npemap.org.uk/scripts/exporter/export.pl

;)

I'd have a look myself, but perl just looks like 1980s-style modem line
noise to me...

I've fixed it.

"It seems that the new version of the DBI module returns an arrayref
rather than a textual prepresentation of a mysql array, so we need to
deref and join rather than the mess of regexes."

It should get better when all the exports run again.
