The slash goes like \ NOT /.
So, \r\n

There are many ways to do this. Here are a couple of options.
: $bob = "hello I am bob"
print unpack("A3", $bob),"\n"; # will give the first 3 elements
OR
You could use substring() with unpack(), like:
$bob = "hello i am bob";
($first) = unpack("A3", $bob); # grab the first 3 chars
print $first,"\n"; # output the first three chars
$rest = substr($bob, length($first), length($bob)); # grab the rest
print $rest,"\n"; # output the rest
OR turn it into a one-liner (and even entertain your party guests :-) :
$bob = "hello i am bob";
$rest = substr($bob, length($first=unpack("A3", $bob)), length($bob));
print $rest,"\n";
Ugly, no? :-)

Subject: HELP: trouble "making" perl5.003_94 (is uuencoded, not "wide")
Message-Id: <dkcombsE83EC2.35y@netcom.com>
I am having trouble with doing a "make" on perl5.003_94.
I did it three times; got DIFFERENT error messages
(different, from including "-B/usr/ccs/bin" the third time).
NOTE: due to wide lines, I am posting this TWICE --
ONCE as is, containing some WIDE LINES from the log-output,
which might produce screwy output via your newsreader (or
something like tip, which seems to fatally hang if given
lines wider than 80 or so).
AGAIN, but this time UUENCODED, so the lines AREN'T wide,
and so you can
then download it, uudecode it "at home", and display the
wide lines without interference from a newsreader (or eg tip).
(to make smaller is tar of this one file, gzipped, uuencoded)
THIS is the SECOND one. Here is the uuencoded stuff:

Subject: HELP: trouble "making" perl5.003_94
Message-Id: <dkcombsE83E17.DKF@netcom.com>
I am having trouble with doing a "make" on perl5.003_94.
I did it three times; got DIFFERENT error messages
(different, from including "-B/usr/ccs/bin" the third time).
NOTE: due to wide lines, I am posting this TWICE --
ONCE as is, containing some WIDE LINES from the log-output,
which might produce screwy output via your newsreader (or
something like tip, which seems to fatally hang if given
lines wider than 80 or so).
AGAIN, but this time UUENCODED, so the lines AREN'T wide,
and so you can
then download it, uudecode it "at home", and display the
wide lines without interference from a newsreader (or eg tip).
(to make smaller is tar of this one file, gzipped, uuencoded)
(This whole posted-file is "only" 444 lines long).
(Also, I have suggestions for making the INSTALL file
a little clearer; and some questions too.
Will be via a separate, LATER post, and will include
answers for THIS problem.).
(RE "solaris packages" The PRIOR version of Perl I have is 5.003,
which I got via a nice "PACKAGE" (Solaris). So, this is the
FIRST time I have tried to install/make the thing myself.)
(Wouldn't it be nice if _94 was avail via a PACKAGE too!
(Yeah, I know it is beta (gamma? zeta?), but to try this
upgraded perl LANGUAGE, with better error messages,
bug fixes, doc fixes, etc, is the perl-policy to
really REQUIRE that I be a c-, make-, and ld-GURU?
"PACKAGES" sure make life easier for us Solaris users! --
even for Beta versions!))
Before you see the actual errors (search for uppercase ERROR
for them -- ie the two different ones),
you might want to see just how this non-guru
tried the install. Here it is:
--------------------- doing the CONFIGURE -----------------
Note that I have never said done "make install" -- never
got that far enough to do that.
Also, note that I don't want to put the lib and hdr files in
"standard" places; I'd like to keep them separate,
just to keep things "simple" (well, more complicated, maybe).
Here is the file "do-configure.source" (to run configure,
I merely said "source do-configure.source"):
(The CONTENTS came via the INSTALL doc-file):
==> do-configure.source <==
sh configure \
-Dprefix=/opt/perl \
-Dcc=gcc \
-Dlocincpth="/opt/gnu/include-forExternalProgsUsedByPerl" \
-Dloclibpth="/opt/gnu/lib-forExternalProgsUsedByPerl"
Now I show the CONTENTS of those referenced dirs (man too):
(What for: so configure will find them, and therefore include
the db and gdbm extensions. (So says the INSTALL file).
(QUESTION: for "man", what do I do, add a "-Dlocmanpth" line?)
The dirs:

(Note: even though root owns some of those files, I ran configure,
make, etc, NOT as su. But all should be ok, given the modes?)
--------------------- doing the FIRST "MAKE" -----------------
I did the make via "script did-make.script" (so as to have a log file
of what happened during the make), and then typed "make", which
finally stopped with the ERROR:
> /opt/gnu/sparc-sun-solaris2.3/bin/ld: invalid number `-Y'
(I egrepped through ALL the makefiles in the directory tree
and found NO "Y" or "-Y".)
Here is the (final) PIECE of the script-output, and shows the ERROR:

--------------------- doing the SECOND "MAKE" -----------------
(And where is the "make depend"? The INSTALL file
at one place didn't mention doing a make depend,
so I didn't. (and it says configure does it automatically).
But later, just to be complete, I did it explicitly:
After the make-error, I did
a make clean, then a make depend, then ANOTHER
make, and got the SAME error again.)
--------------------- doing the THIRD "MAKE" -----------------
THEN, so as to use only the sun "as" and "ld",
I added the "-B/usr/ccs/bin/" to various items
in the makefile, the "diff" for which is:

And here comes, as the FINAL TWO items in this posting,
are the ENTIRE script-out files for (a) the first two (same,
shown only once. 105 lines) and (b) the third ("-B/usr/ccs/bin")
one (109 lines):
(ie, there's NO NEED to read BEYOND HERE,

Subject: Oracle SQL and Perl
Message-Id: <5i1rfs$dap$1@geraldo.cc.utexas.edu>
Hi,
I'm involved in a project that I need to get up and running very quickly.
Does anyone know how to connect an Oracle database with a Netscape front
end? I will need to do the usual insert, delete and update SQL functions
when I take information from Netscape forms on the web. I was wondering if
I just need Perl scripts to run the SQL statements, or do I need another piece
of software? The web server is running Windows NT. Thanks in advance to anyone
who can offer any help.

What would be the point of mentioning them? Lisp's reputation for

Not at all. Perfectly straightforward. And---this is the best
part--- it doesn't take all your RAM to do it. Scsh takes 10M just to
start up, so you can forget about using it for routine tasks like
this.
On the other hand, I'd be inclined to write:
tmp=`tmpname`
setdate '12/Feb/1997' $tmp
for f in *
do
newer $f $tmp && echo $f
done
rm $tmp
given a few simple helper programs in the unix spirit.

Subject: Redirection command from condition Statement
Message-Id: <33446258.1374@washington.xtn.net>
Could someone please help me. I have wasted too much time on this
already. How do I give a command to go to a URL from a condition
eg: If (.......) { goto http://myserver/index.htm }
elsif (.......) { goto http://someotherserver/index.htm }
The Goto command does not work towards a URL if I am not mistaken.
I would appreciate any help. I am a new PERL programmer just learning
the magic of PERL.
Thanks,
Bala

Shouldn't that be "my() day" ? :-)

Step 1: figure out how to do what you need to do manually.
Step 2: automate that method.
i.e. start reading up on M<gag>Access, figure out what commands and
data you need to feed it to get the desired result, then coerce (via
an appropriate language) a computer to do the routine work for you.

Subject: When is Perl6 coming and What new addons to the core?
Message-Id: <3344848D.167E@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk>
Hi,
Have there been any discussions on what new things
will be in the core and when it will be realeased?
My wishes have been;
1) Malcolm's compiler is an option in Perl. So
> perl -c xxxxx.pl
produces xxxxx binary directly.
2) Much better GUI interation. Not as separate Tk, or Qt,
or Xforms module, but more tightly interated GUI builder
as in Java,
2.1) Integrated WWW, CGI,,, supporting commands as like standard sockets
commands in Perl. Is penguin still developed?
3) Perl working as an alternative shell if wanted.
4) Perl editor debugger(visual). Will it be too difficult to
make an X editor
which does visual debugging, and editing and running perl lines
in the editor directly. Not emacs like, but much more
intuitive, easy and perly. (There were some previous attempts.)
Automatic inclusion of functions(user or module derived),
syntax checking in the editor,
syntax highlight for things like special variables, and
special words in perl etc.
Can call it Common Perl Development Environment I guess.
5) Perl6 operating system? Computer world should speak an elegant
language like perl for the next milenium with an elegant OS
as natural as perl.
It would be possible to build an OS in perl way. It can work
as network computer by interacting in the net as JAVA is heading
for...or what not.
Or Should Linux put Perl in its KERNAL level??

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
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.
