You can use the file upload feature Netscape invented
(and which also Microsoft supports nowadays), and
upload a user selected file for processing on the
server.

You can send the file back, and let the user choose
whether to run or save it or not.
You cannot access files directly on the client system,
unless you resort to signed Java applets (and browsers
that support it; done differently for Netscape Navigator
and Microsoft Internet Explorer), or an ActiveX control
(also signed), a plugin (must be user installed) or
your own server program to be installed and run on
the client.
For the parts above that you can do, use the CGI.pm
Perl module.

Check out your local CPAN node for the Date::Manip package. Works
wonders. Also, get a subscription to "The Perl Journal". Something
like this was covered in a recent issue. (It's cheap!)

Can I tell you about the things that are wrong that didn't result in
an error message first?
> close(<FD>)
This will read a line from FD take its value as the name of a
filehandle, and try to close that filehandle. Since you are at EOF,
you are trying to close a filehandle with a value of undef.
> $_ =~ $spamlist
The right hand side of the match operator should be a match or
substitute operator, not a scalar. Perl parses it without error, and
often does the right thing.
Now, do you realize that since you are opening "spamdom.test" inside a
loop, you are appending the contents of the file to $spamlist for each
line of input from your pipeline? You're first processed line from
maillog will compared against the contents of the file. The second
line will be compared against two complete copies of the file,
etc. Eventually, $spamlist gets big enough that it chokes the regexp
engine.
How about the perl being something like this?
perl -nwe 'BEGIN{open FD,"spamdom.test" or die;@spamlist=
map{chomp;"\Q$_"}<FD>; close FD} for $addr(@spamlist){print if $_ =~ /$addr/}'
or the somewhat shorter:
perl -nwe 'BEGIN{chomp(@spamlist=map{"\Q$_"}`cat spamdom.test`)}
for $addr(@spamlist){print if $_ =~ /$addr/}'
replacing perl's open/read/close with backticks and cat.
If you are going to be doing a whole lot of this, and will be building
something bigger than a oneliner, you might want to take a look at the
FAQ's entry: "How do I efficiently match many regular expressions at
once?" <URL:http://www.perl.com/CPAN/doc/manual/html/pod/perlfaq6/

If you are certain that you always have two lines, just don't use the
while loop.
open(IN, 'test.dat') or die "Cannot open file: $!";
$one = <IN> or die "No first line";
$two = <IN> or die "No second line";
close(IN);
print "ONE=$one\nTWO=$two\n";
Although I would probably store the stuff in an array, then look at
the length:
open(IN, 'test.dat') or die "Cannot open file: $!";
@in_array = <IN>;
close(IN);
die "Illegal file length" unless (@in_array == 2);
print "ONE=$in_array[0]\nTWO=$in_array[1]\n";
One advice, which you might already have deduced from my code:
Use LOTS of error checking. It will make your life as a programmer
about a thousandfold easier. Sure, it's a bit more coding, but a lot
less debugging.
Also: use perl with the -w flag, and use the strict pragma. The
combination of the two of those would have told you that you were
using undefined variables.

You can install them in any directory. If they are in the same
directory as your script, you normally don't have to do anything
special. If they are somewhere else (which is not in perl's default)
you will have to include a line like this:
use lib '/wherever/my/libraries/live';
Look in the perl documentation for @INC
perldoc perlvar
Also read a bit about modules
perldoc perlmod
perldoc lib

There is documentation in the perlmod doc.

How do I keep my own module/library directory?
perldoc perlmod

> 3. What is the difference between .pl and .pm
.pl normally is either a perl script or a set of
subroutines/functions. This was used in perl 4 mainly.
.pm is a perl module, which has a few more rules to obey, and has some
better structure. This is normally the perl5 way of doing this.
> 4. Why sometimes "USE xxx.pm" and sometimes "require xxx.pm"
You would normally 'require' a .pl file, and 'use' a .pm module.
The 'use' implies a few things, of which one is a require. It does a
few more things though.
perldoc -f require
perldoc -f use
> 5. How do I know what existing libraries are installed on my system?
Hmm.. That depends a bit on how religiously everything has been
installed in a standard way, and where it all lives. The best way to
find out if a module is installed is by either trying to use it, or
even better:
perldoc MODULENAME
will give you the documentation on that module (if it is there)
(perldoc perldoc will give you the perldoc man page)
perldoc perlmodlib will also give you some information about standard
modules.
You can use the CPAN module in interactive mode.. (perldoc CPAN)
or try:
find `perl -e 'print "@INC"'` -name '*.pm' -print
on a unix system

Um, just to nitpick for a second ... :)
There *is* a mailing list version of clpm that works wonderfully for ppl
who don't want to deal with the Usenet aspect of clpm. I forget the
addy, but I'm subbed to it on my other account, and so am fairly sure it
exists. ;)
And, if you want to get nice and OS-specific, there are several mailing
lists maintained for OS-specific ports of perl, which tend to field
not-just-OS-specific questions. The lists *are* out there, but I agree
with Randall that they don't compare to the raw sewage (and occasional
diamond) of clpm.
(Check out www.liszt.com for a list of mailing lists, the Perl-specific
ones should be in there somewhere.)

hmm. Perlscript is a varation on standard perl such
that it works as an ASP inside of NT.
NT doesn't have a fork command. and the functions that PerlScript
have to be linked with a special .dll. I think but I'm
not sure that the system call is available in this limted version
or perl NT (ie the Activeware port subset for ASP)
by the way What did you mean by "System Command Line"?
the sysconsole? or the parameter line on the cgi call that
started your perl script running?
are you trying to communicate with the console interface?

Thank you for your thoughts on this subject. But thanks to this group, I
was able to find several qualified people suitable for this position.
Plus, it is a pure Perl position and not VB!

Subject: Re: Why am I running out of memory? (bug in perl?)
Message-Id: <NOSPAM.97Oct17153947@pickering.ll.mit.edu>
I think I found the memory leak, and it is in perl's string
interpolation routines.
This is my system:
% perl -v; uname -a
This is perl, version 5.004_01
% uname -a
OSF1 herpolhode V3.2 148 alpha
The following program eats memory and eventually (hours) dies with
the message "Out of memory!".
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use diagnostics;
for(;;){
$y = 1997;
$m = 1;
$d = 12.2303800000009;
print "$y\t$m\t$d\n";
}
Whereas this program remains at a constant size.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use diagnostics;
for(;;){
$y = 1997;
$m = 1;
$d = 12.2303800000009;
printf "%d\t%d\t%lf\n", $y, $m, $d;
}
The perl.com homepage says that the bug database is no longer being
maintained. Is there somewhere I ought to send this? Is there a way
to upgrade to 5.004_03? I couldn't find it at perl.com.

On my system, the process size stays constant
# perl -v
This is perl, version 5.004_03
# uname -a
SunOS mali 5.5.1 Generic_103640-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2
I seem to recall that between 5.004_01 and 5.004_03 there were some
memory issues corrected. Maybe you need to just upgrade. It is also
possible that your system's posix functions are not entirely correct.
Does an equivalent c program eat memory as well?

Wow! Yesterday I installed the "latest" version from perl.com, and now
it is two revisions behind. I tested the program on another machine
with these paramters:
This is perl, version 5.003 with EMBED
IRIX64 polhode 6.4 02121744 IP27
And the memory size remains constant on that machine. I'll try the c
program.

Nope. The c program doesn't eat memeory, so it probably isn't the
posix modf.

I tried getting rid of the call to the posix function, and it still
eats memory.
use POSIX qw(modf);
($dayfrac, $dayint) = modf($mjd);
became:
{
use integer;
$dayint = $mjd/1;
}
$dayfrac = $mjd - $dayint;
Perhaps I'll try to simplify further.

Administrivia:
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.
The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
