you are more than a troll, but a low grade moron. you have not once
presented anything to back up your loose claims. you would lose in any
court of logic in any place in the world. you couldn't convince anyone
water is wet with your skills in debate. just put up some facts/code/or
shut up. no one here is defeated if he ever faces you. we are victorious
just in not being you.
write you own goddamned regex engine and language and stay the fuck out
of this newsgroup if you don't like perl. it is not for everyone and
most certainly not good enough for you. or rather you are not smart
enough for perl, which makes you dumb indeed, since high school kids
learn perl better than you. one high schooler was on the second place
team at the perl quiz at the conference and i would hire him over your
peabrain in a microsecond.
i enjoy flaming you since i feel no guilt because of your asinine
behaviour and lack of responses to direct questions and requests for
facts/code.
i am writing this for the amusement of the perl community and not for
your education which obviously stopped with toilet training. but not
late enough for you to stop wetting your bed with your pissing logic.
you know how everyone seems to have someone else worse off so they can
feel better. you have provided the perl community with the lowest rung
so we all will feel better knowing none of us are that low.

I'm having problems building perl in a 80486 machine with Redhat 5.0.
The appears to be some kind of problem with I_SYS_SELECT or HAS_SELECT
for Configure and defaults to `int *' for selecttype. I modified this
to as the Configure script indicates for paramater 2,3 and 4 to
`fd_set *'.
Then the pp_sys.c compile bombs with:
`sh cflags libperl.a pp_sys.o` pp_sys.c

Now the warnings I can understand since /usr/include/linux/types.h
does redefine FD_SET, etc. But how can I get a syntax error with the
libc installed system include files?

You can use an anchored regexp, e.g.
if ( $test =~ /^\[ID:/ ) ...
==> perldoc perlre
and you can parenthesize other parts of the pattern in the
case that you want to match what follows the first 4 chars
too.
or substr()
==> perldoc -f substr

Here's one way:
if ($test =~ /^\[ID:/) {
# my body here
}
Here's another:
if (substr($test, 0, 4) eq '[ID:') {
# my body here
}

Try the below - with the warning again that you should use HTML::Parser

This works - but it probably only works with addresses you've built
yourself.
$str = '<TD><A
HREF=http://www.mywebsite.com/url/goes/here>http://www.mywebsite.com/url
/goes/here</A></TD>';
$str =~ s/.+?HREF=(http:.+?)>.+/$1/;
print $str;

Yes. But you omited the most efficient of them all: a RE with
embedded (?{ CODE }) blocks.
When this feature settles down, one of important optimizations may be
a transparent conversion of those 21 styles to this one.

If you've got 41 items in the array, $#myarray is 40. If you think that
something other than that is happening, could you make a small standalone
program which demonstrates the behavior you're seeing?

No offense intended, but it sounds as if you don't know what you're doing
with this. It's not the same as wrapping int() around your expressions,
although the two methods may be functionally equivalent in some cases. But
if you want int(), write int(). (And if you need 'use integer' to show the
bug, it may well be a bug in Perl's integer-handling routines.)

Er, looks like I'm doing my thinking in Usenet. I wrote the test case,
and $#myarray works exactly as expected. Go figure! Maybe (don't have
the abortive code anymore) I was testing it before loading the array,
or something equally silly. I knew I was doing something wrong when
I posted this. I just needed someone to rub my nose in it. :)

None taken, although I really don't understand, except that it does make
more sense to use 'int' given that I'm only manipulating one integer.
The Camel says I might get a performance boost if I don't have a FPU,
and I can forget about forgetting the explicit cast(?) within the
block. Why is using 'use integer' wrong if I segregate my variables?

Subject: URLencoding to create a clickable URL
Message-Id: <35eb9db3.1162124@news.Leiden.nl.net>
I have created a Perl database search engine. From a HTML form, I can
search the database with the 'POST'-method. Now I'm going to change
this to the 'GET'-method, for one reason:
I want to put clickable URL's on a page, which will activate the
search engine. The URL contains the necessary parameters to perform
the search.
I know how to decode the URL information to strings that the Perl
script can handle. It's something like this:
$value =~ tr/+/ /;
$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
But I can't find the reverse routine. How do I encode information
(variables and their value), so I can append it to an URL?
TIA,

Sounds like you need the URI::Escape module, available at CPAN.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are
injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say
there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor
breaks my leg.

Administrivia:
Special notice: in a few days, the new group comp.lang.perl.moderated
should be formed. I would rather not support two different groups, and I
know of no other plans to create a digested moderated group. This leaves
me with two options: 1) keep on with this group 2) change to the
moderated one.
If you have opinions on this, send them to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
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.
