Please don't post pseudocode. Pseudocode is fine when you have an
algorithm that works and you want to keep details out of the way
of an explanation. It is only confusing if you are unsure if the
algorithms is correct.

You will want to use a variable that can be set in the sig_handler
and periodically checked in do_it. Then bail out of do_it when
the signal arrives. Don't forget to reset the variable.

You should put the code you want to exit, into an eval BLOCK. die() in
$SIG{ALARM} will then simply exit that eval BLOCK, and just continue
with the next statement follwing it. You can have more than one of those
code blocks.

Thanks. I'll check out the CGI module. Also, my URL path was coded
correctly in HTML. It has the slashes(\)s for preventing the cgi script
from tripping over the embedded quotation marks. Normally in an HTML
doc, the code would be: <IMG SRC="review.gif" WIDTH="179" HEIGHT="103"
BORDER="0" ALIGN"LEFT"> Also, when I had trouble getting the script to
find the review.gif file, I thought I would try using an absolute path
which works with my counter scripts.

Have you checked out PerlEz on the activestate installation of Perl? There
is a compiled DLL and source code . PerlEz.dll ? usually found in
perl\lib\CORE\. The dll is fairly well documented in the HTML reference
pages.
Good Luck,

Thanks to all! In fact, the XMl file will contain questions and answers for an
automated testing application. Eric pointed the need for 'entification' (?) of
forbidden chars, and this could be a problem for the people who will write the
questions. Now, this is done in Access and one can input each kind of data (even
accented chars which are tipical of Italian alphabet - BTW anyone knows some
tools to intercept non ASCII char and entify them?).
But this is another subject 8-) I'll return on it within a few days. Now for the
parser!
Bye and thks again!

Read the Oracle Doc. AFAIK, you can't use LONG datatype in sub
queries. Here, you'll have to do a loop yourself.

my system's stat returns the correct file size when working in the
shell. When I use Perl's stat, I get the same incorrect file size.
When I use a system("stat $file") in the perl script it returns the
correct file size.
Result: the system's stat is fine, Perl's is not.
Now what?

perldoc CGI The "redirect" method is what you want.
Generation of HTTP headers and HTML isn't what this
group is about, so unless you have more
perl-specific things to ask, your life will be much
easier if you use the appropriate group...
If you're using apache you can probably plug in a
module to do this, but again that's not a perl issue.

You should lurk in c.l.p.misc (or any newsgroup for that matter) for
a while before you post. As with any gathering of people there are
cultural dynamics at work in usenet groups. You need to learn them
and modify your behavior accordingly or you could be shunned.

Message-Id: <%b854.3054$Sn.207133@newsr2.u-net.net>
Hi All,
I'm fairly new to this newsgroup, so if my posting is a little off-topic, I
apologise in advance.
I have installed ActivePerl 5.22 on NT Server 4.0 and installed the CGI
module. When I try to access a PL or CGI script on my web server I get
Error 404, File Not Found. However the file is there, but I cant seem to
access it.
Previously I had the same setup, except that Perl was in a different
directory. Everything worked. Now I have installed Perl in another
directory (and the environment variables are set correctly), I cant access
the Perl scripts.
Does anyone know what the problem might be???
Regards,
Mike Bickham

You must configure the new directory to be executable in your web server
setup.
Sounds like this is the problem.
Good Luck,
Rodney

Subject: Re: Problem with Search script
Message-Id: <83300b$6u3$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
My apologies for stepping into this elitest group without first bending
over to take it up the keister. God forbid I tried to use one of
Matt's scripts. It's a simple mistake seeing as it is easy to find on
the web and has fairly good documentation(on how to get it running not
what the code does).
Once again forgive me lord for not knowing perl or how to program it to
be quicker, faster, smarter, or to cook you breakfast at the same time.
Kill me now lord for posting the entire script. I erred on the side of
completeness trying to make sure that someone could look at the whole
problem as opposed to what I thought the problem was.
Damn me for eternity for hoping that someone had set up a similar
script on an NT box with IIS4 and would have any easy answer for what
the basedir should be. If you run something else like Appache for your
webserver then maybe you wouldn't know. However then I would figure
you would just keep quiet and let the usefull responses float to the
top.
Unfortunate for you Eric that you are the way you are. I take pleasure
in helping out others. If only to encourage another into a pursuit
that you seem to enjoy. But to scald someone who doesn't want to do
the lazy thing and use MS frontpage extensions. I on the other hand
like to share what I know. If you ever have questions on servers,
WANs, cisco switches, or process control equipment then I'd be happy to
help without the insults and sarcasm.

Message-Id: <385516BD.AD92E3B@duboi.com>
Hi.
Did someone succeed in making a select on an open pipe on windows nt ?
I have tried the regular select function and the IO::Select and both
give me the error message : "Bad file descriptor".
Am I missing something ?
Thanks for any help.

Jonathan,
This mini-prog was made just to figure out the reason why
sendmail was dumping "Broken pipe" error when invoked from the
command line rather than the browser (no broken pipe from browser,
sendmail emails correctly).
These lines are actually part of a much bigger program where local() &
return() are needed. Out of laziness I didn't make it a 100% efficient
program, but cut'n'pasted more or less as it was. Thay do not actually
have any bearing on the "Broken pipe" error.
Thanks for your help.

Ok, here's what I just figured out (if someone has any vague idea why
this fixes the "Broken pipe" problem)...
if i change the sendmail path to "/sbin/sendmail" it works both from the
browser and the command line without any "Broken pipe" errors...
what is the "/sbin/" directory??
probably have to talk to my host.
Thanks, problem solved.

How come
$a = "(\\w+)";
"(#Yo!#)" =~ $a and print $1;
works?
It looks like "expecting a pattern" implies you can use simple strings,
too.
Besides, the docs for split mention:
The pattern `/PATTERN/' may be replaced with an
expression to specify patterns that vary at runtime.

As long as the string contains only a "simple" pattern. Some aspects
of the re engine are implemented through methods that are built
when the re is compiled. If you don't compile the re, then they are not
built.
Compare:
perl -e '$_="some string";$re="(s(?!o).+)";print $1 if $_ =~ $re;'
[prints nothing]
to
perl -e '$_="some string";$re=qr"(s(?!o).+)";print $1 if $_ =~ $re;'
string
or even:
perl -e '$_="some string";$re="(?{print q/true/})";$_ =~ $re;'
/(?{print q/true/})/: Eval-group not allowed at runtime, use re 'eval' at -e line 1.

Hi, Is there any tool, related to Perl or other language with can
provide visual diagram of sub routines.. I need one for Perl.
It certainly helps to get better understanding of the code.
If it's only in other language than it should accomodate the perl words
such as "sub" as starting of new function/sub/procedure..
thanks..

Subject: Why do non-blocking reads block?
Message-Id: <832uml$5o7$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
I am writing a small client piece that talks to a server piece.
The client(a) starts out sending messages to the server, which passes
them on to another client(b). Eventually, client(b) will send
responding messages to the server for routing back to client(a).
I am using IO::Socket and Socket on perl 5.00502 on an Ultra 10 running
Solaris.
Since client(a) is set up to send a bunch of messages and cannot know
when the server may start routing messages to it from client(b), and
since the same socket has to be used for receive and send, I think i
have to check for incoming messages prior to writing the next message
to the server.
To do this, I thought that I could use recv, and let it time out if it
cannot get $readlen bytes.
The problem:
$retlen = recv($sock, $buffer, $readlen, $flags);
blocks instead of coming back with $readlen == 0 when there are no
messages to read.
What am I doing wrong?
PS: same results with read, sysread (making sure that for the same
socket, I am using the matching send, print, syswrite . . .)
????

Sorry, should have been length($buffer) == 0 above, not $readlen == 0.

It doesn't. I repeated Baase's definition and the technique in her
book for showing that g is in O(f). The technique itself fits the
form of a conditional, i.e. that
lim(n->inf) g(n)/f(n) = c for some real c >= 0
is sufficient condition for g being in O(f).

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.
| NOTE: The mail to news gateway, and thus the ability to submit articles
| through this service to the newsgroup, has been removed. I do not have
| time to individually vet each article to make sure that someone isn't
| abusing the service, and I no longer have any desire to waste my time
| dealing with the campus admins when some fool complains to them about an
| article that has come through the gateway instead of complaining
| to the source.
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.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
