Yeah, but if you want to print out:
"Hello!

is a test"
what would be your trick?

Subject: Compiler with *.pm files: including all subroutines?
Message-Id: <35F5EF5E.EBEE9511@n2k.com>
I am trying to compile and statically link a short Perl script which
uses
some external modules (specifically, some LWP modules and Time::HiRes).
Everything seems to build properly, however, I consistently get this
error message
at run-time:
Can't locate object method "new" via package "LWP::UserAgent" at
timefetch.pl line 86.
There was a post to this group from Malcolm Beattie on exactly this
problem
way back in January 1997, which explained that the compiler does not
necessarily include certain subroutines in modules even if you use them
in your code.
For this reason, you need to explicitly include them using the "-u"
switch.
I've been tinkering with different arguments to this switch, but no luck
so far.
Here are the arguments I've been passing to perl and gcc. I get
essentially
the same results regardless whether I use the -u switch.
PERL=/usr/local
PERLLIB=/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris/auto
PERLCORE=/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502/sun4-solaris/CORE
${PERL}/bin/perl
-MO=C,-uLWP::UserAgent::new,-uHTTP::Request::new,-oscript.c script.pl
${PERL}/bin/perl ${PERL}/lib/perl5/5.00502/B/cc_harness -o script
script.c \
-L/usr/local/lib $PERLCORE/libperl.a $PERLLIB/Time/HiRes/HiRes.a
I'm using Perl 5.005_02, Solaris 2.6, and gcc 2.8.1.
Is this just not possible to do? Have I missed something in the
documentation?
If so, my apologies. Any pointers would be most appreciated.

Anyone have any idea why this script only runs about

print out_file $parse_file;
close(out_file);
}
Press <CR> for more:

I'm getting a number of zombie processesand changes only 2 directories deep.
It cuts out on the same directory. Maybe I need a wait?

If the code is that short, maybe you can post it here. That way you
might have had a direct answer pointing out that maybe you should code
that part of your program differently, or whatever. hard to say
without seeing any code, hmm?

Elaine:
More to the point, although the original respondent merely suggested the
use of upper-case, your subsequent reply introduced the topics of
grammar and style, which were not at issue. Indeed I see no improper
usage in your original post. Moreover it's certainly excusable to
dispense with case distinction. Quite common among professional writers;
such things can be fixed automatically. Anyway, what are copy editors
for?
However your unfortunate escalation of the discussion to grammar & style
were seized upon by others, to the point that now you are defending
yourself against an implicit accusation of poor punctuation -- an
accusation that was never really made, for an offense never really
committed. A fine example of spontaneous generation. More fodder for the
study of sociological properties of usenet, perhaps.
As to the issue of gender-correlated flaming, I will hazard no opinion.

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to read in a file, replace an 8 digit number which appears
only one one line with another, and write the whole lot out. However,
only the line I'm matching gets written - how should I go about getting
all the lines of the file put out as well? I assumed that anything that
wasn't matched by the regex substitution would just be left alone, but
I'm obviously wrong.
##############
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
open (RC, "test");
while (<RC>)
{
$_ =~ s/[0-9]{8}/$logdate/g; #I've already defined $logdate in the
real thing
print $_;
}
close (RC);

Thanks in advance,

Check return value,
open (RC, "test") || die "Can't open test: $!\n";

$_ can be left out here,

There must be some other problem in the 'real thing'. Since you are
printing $_ for each record of the file, you should get each record.
Perhaps you are resetting $_ in some other operation you left out.

Message-Id: <6t4tnf$uqo@fido.engr.sgi.com>
I have an XSUB whose declaration looks like:
HV *
foo(string, hash, func)
char *string;
HV *hash;
SV *cmpfunc;
Now if I call this XSUB from perl like:
$hash{bar} = "blah";
$ref = mypackage::foo("string", \%hash, \&cmpsub);
I get an error that says:
hash is not of type HVPtr at blah.pl line 12.
But if I do:
print \%hash, "\n";
I get:
HASH(0x10020dec)
So what's going on? Why can't I pass this hash reference to my XSUB? Am I doing
something obviously wrong (I've tried passing the hash as $hash or %hash,
knowing that those shouldn't work, and they didn't, but I still don't
understand why \%hash is not considered an "HVPtr").
Thanks in advance for any help.

Usenet newsgroups, apart from the moderated ones, don't have an
'admin'. They rely on people following the rules. They have been
explained to you.
News admins can cancel posts. But news admins often have better things
to do that to read every post and decide whether they believe it
should be cancelled or not. BEsides, that isn't their job. Besides,
not evere news server has to honour cancels.
The only way this place can stay clean is when people who _should_
know better refrain from posting inappropriately.

I realize the difference, I was trying to make a pint with as few words as
possible. I agree that it is our responsibility to keep things clean here.
that is kind of my point though, Among all of us here in this thread, we
can't agree on what fits that criteria. I think we all can agree on SPAM,
etc. as being far on the outside of acceptable, but this is not such a clear
cut animal, if it was, this conversation would have died out a long time
ago.
However, I think this thread is getting too long and IS becoming more of a
burden on this newsgroup. I will say this:
1) I am impressed by the maturity level that almost everyone involved in
this conversation has shown. With only a few exceptions, including myself
and Randal in the beginning of this thread. We were both out of line in our
original messages to each other. There is no excuse for that, but I do want
to apologize. No one has brought that up against me, but it should have
been brought up, so I will bring it up.
2) I am considering hosting a newsgroup to discuss this issue if anyone is
interested. Perhaps together we can formulate new guidelines to submit for
how these types of issues should be handled by newsgroup users. It is
apparent that the issue is certainly undecided from the users standpoint.
If you would be interested in this, please reply to me via email, vs.
continuing to plague this newsgroup with our crap.

Subject: Perlscript and ASP: Weird Hash of Request object?
Message-Id: <6t4mls$c1g$1@nnrp1.dejanews.com>
I'm trying to use Perlscript (from ActiveState) on an NT 4.0 (sp3) box with
IIS 4.0 and the latest build of Perlscript.
I'm relatively new to ASPs, so please bear with me.
I'm having serious trouble getting the "Request" object values to translate
properly into something sensible.
The ASP is being called with the following URL string:
http:/blah.blah.org/holder.asp?Department=1234
When I embed a statement in holder.asp like:
Site: <%= $Request->{"Department"} %>
I get the correct value for Department printing on the resulting browser page:
Site: 1234
but when I try to embed it in a SQL statement such as
<% $Sqlquery = "SELECT Menu.* FROM Menu WHERE Menu.Department LIKE
$Request->{'Department'}"; %>
I get garbage when I try to execute or print the statement.
Putting the following in my .asp:
<%= $Sqlquery %>
Results in something like this on the output page:
SELECT Menu.* FROM Menu WHERE Menu.Department LIKE Win32::OLE=HASH(0x150ef528)
I have even tried augmenting the statement to the following:
<% $Sqlquery = "SELECT Menu.* FROM Menu WHERE Menu.Department LIKE " .
$Request->{"Department"}; %>
...with exactly the same results as before.
What on EARTH am I doing wrong? Why am I getting some kind of hash pointer
as opposed to the value of the request object?

You need to do somewhat fancy stuff with open3() and friends.
Or, make your life easier and let this do it for you:
ftp://thrush.omix.com/pub/perl/modules/Mail-Sendmail-1.10.tar.gz
FYI however, there is now a module by the same on CPAN, but it
does not have the same functionality. -It has nothing to do
with sendmail, but for whatever reason uses its name...

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.
