I'm assuming that Brian means that aside from flocking, that generating a temp file doesn't sound very
swift to me.
Is this true?
Also what are the diffs (in security and in programming know how)
between a cgi type login and a server login using htaccess?
Of course I would gather that htaccess would be more bulletproof,
but wouldn't a cgi-login be more portable?
Other than that I would guess programming a cgi-login would be easier in terms of programming know-how,
whereas one has to know UNIX more intimately to run a htaccess type login.
I appreciate your comments which will be for my edification!
PS I have ALREADY done a search on Deja News on the topic,
this is the closest I have found.
Thanks!

You're assigning to @allfiles and then overwriting the result the next
time around without having used it. Without knowing what you're actually
doing with the data, it's hard to tell whether or not you need to sort
the category keys in the first place; if not, read them in unsorted order.
If there are lots of files in each directory, you might want to chdir()
into each directory to avoid the overhead of the map().

Subject: child process on NT act weird
Message-Id: <362163bc$0$4653@nntp1.ba.best.com>
I'm having a problem executing system commands in perl NT programs when the
perl program itself is called from a program. Here's and example to try to
clear this up.
xxx.pl (is a program that contains the command: system("date /t
>output.txt");)
yyy.pl (runs xxx.pl via system("xxx.pl");)
When I run yyy.pl, xxx.pl does run, but the system commands all fail. When
I run xxx.pl stand-alone it works correctly.
I realize this seems a little convoluted, but I'm ultimately trying to run
xxx.pl from a CAD program which allows system calls, and I'm seeing the same
behaviour (i.e. xxx.pl runs, but the system commands fail).
If someone could explain what I'm doing wrong, or what the limitations I'm
running into are, I'd be very grateful.

I think it's simply repackaging the perl interpreter (whichever one
happens to be installed on your system) into an .exe that contains
both the interpreter and the script. That causes compiled .exe's to
be over 500 KB -- although there is a -small option for the Pro
version, a 500 KB .dll is then required (again, pretty much just the
repackaged perl interpreter).
I have heard of a Perl-to-C converter available somewhere although the
output C code is unlikely to be legible for practical purposes. I'm
not sure if that converter is available for Win32 platforms, though.
Maybe someone else here can shed some light on this...
I've used Perl2Exe quite successfully (I'm pretty adept at Perl, don't
know squat about C) and would recommend it to anyone in the same
position. I like the idea of being able to distribute my Perl apps to
people who aren't likely to have a Perl interpreter on their system.

this works for me ('course, the vars will have to have been set up earlier
in the script, and your sendmail location may vary):
open (MAIL, "| /usr/lib/sendmail $to_email") or die("Can't open sendmail
pipe");
# define message type as multipart
print MAIL "To: $to_email\n";
print MAIL "From: $from_email\n";

print MAIL "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;

print MAIL "--------------theBoundary\n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n";
print MAIL "this is the plain text part of the message\n";

print MAIL "--------------theBoundary\n";

i like the specification which is concise - "complete", leaving the
function, design, and implementation up to the programmer. so here's
mine:

A small overhead in comparison to the huge fee you should charge the

Real unbuffered I/O is performed with the sysread() and syswrite()
functions. Command buffering (automatically flushed buffered output)
is performed by manipulating the $| variable.
If you can get away command buffering instead of unbuffered output
you'll be saving yourself from a few awkward details.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

I am having problems using IO::Socket module on both the NT and UNIX
(HP-UX 10.20). Below is an example from the Advanced Perl Programming
book.
*****************************************************
For the "server" :
use IO::Socket;
#
$sock = new IO::Socket::INET (LocalHost => 'uhuru_ygp',
LocalPort => 1200,
Proto => 'tcp',
Listen => 5,
Reuse => 1
);
die "\nSocket could not be opened. Reason : $!\n" unless $sock;
while ($new_sock = $sock->accept())
{ while (defined($buf = <$new_sock>))
{ print $buf; }
}
close ($sock);
************************************************
For the "sender" :
use IO::Socket;
#
$sock = new IO::Socket::INET (PeerHost => 'uhuru_ygp',
PeerPort => 1200,
Proto => 'tcp',
);
die "\nSocket could not be opened. Reason : $!\n" unless $sock;
foreach (1 .. 10)
{ print $sock "Msg $_ : How da hell are ya?\n";}
close ($sock);
*****************************
While the "server" sets up OK and using netstat -a, you can see (on the
UNIX box anyway) that a process is indeed on the port listening.
However, the sender program always returns with the following messages:
"Socket could not be opened. Reason : Bad file descriptor" (NT)
"Socket cound not be opened. Reason : Bad file number" (UNIX)
I also get the same error when I use UDP for both sides. What gives??
Thanks.

I'm a few days away from installing 5.005 on _my_ Linux box (I just

Leastways, if you look at perldiag for "unable to create sub", that's what
this generally means.

You can print the @ sign in HTML format as the character '@'. (You can
also print it as '@', but why bother?)
However, to include the @ sign in a double-quoted string, you must escape
it by preceding it with a backslash, or Perl will try to do an array
substitution (just as it tries to do a scalar substitution for an
unescaped $ sign). So '...@...' or "...\@...".

Subject: printing reserved characters from Perl script to web page.
Message-Id: <6vrolp$ipa$1@nnrp1.dejanews.com>
I am using DBI v1.02 and DBD v0.16 to retrieve data from a database with the
view to editing it via a web page. The data is being selected correctly (I've
checked using dbi_trace = 2) but only part of each returned row gets printed
to the web page. I suspect that the culprit for this is a character that
needs some specific formating in order to get it to print.
An example of the data that is being returned by the database is: 'Me
<i.am@work>' (i.e. an email address, enclosed in '<' and '>', preceded by a
name).
I have had no prior experience with similar problems so any help you can give
me would appreciated. Could you please reply via email as most of you have
probably already seen these sorts of requests before and, also, my news feed
is via Dejanews and, quite likely, I'll miss any replies.

does all of the data show up in the HTML source (whether or not it
is displayed by the browser)?
perhaps one of the modules that escapes special HTML characters would
help.

Greetings,
How can I read a file from a remote location (i.e. on someone else's
website)? Provided the file resides on their root directory (i.e. where
their home page index.html sits) and the file is marked as readable to
all, is it possible for me to simply open their file and read it?
I tried a test script but it failed to find the file or directory. Is it
necessary to write a script to ftp the file to my local directory and
then read the local file?
Could you please direct me to a sample or provide some sample code to
accomplish this feat? Much thanks.

try to configure httpd
apache directive to follow symbolic links (www.apache.org documentation)
FollowSymLinks
in httpd.conf or .htaccess file Options Indexes FollowSymLinks for
<Directory>
<Directory /usr/csite5/WebServer/httpd/cgi/TestPlans/1-0/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
or add Options line in .htacces file in ../cgi/ directory (read more in

*NIX or Win32? If Win32, you might want to consider making them .exe files
with the pl2exe.exe program included in the Win32 Perl Resource Kit...

Subject: Special: Digest Administrivia (Last modified: 12 Mar 98)
Message-Id: <null>
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.
