Hi... I'm need some kind of package that'll spew out nice looking
graphs. It's not for my own personal use--my company wants prettyness,
not functionality. Anyway, if there is anything more robust out there,
other than GIFgraph, could you e-mail me?
Alternatively, do you know of any other program I might be able to use
to spew out simple but pretty bar graphs? I want something resembling
an Excel graph, but preferrably not a Microsoft solution. Anyway,
thanks...

it's not so hard to tweak GIFgraph to make graphs that look like
what you want. what do you want that GIFgraph doesn't give you?
perhaps someone could add that for you.
> Anyway, if there is anything more robust out there,

GIFgraph is pretty robust. perhaps you meant more feature-filled?
perhaps you want Image::Magick and ghostscript. but then you have to
write the plotting routines yourself.

Guten Tag Heiko,
We provide hosting for CGI and Perl scripts in your own cgi-bin at fair
prices.
Since i program a lot i like my servers to support all the best features.
You should always test your scripts on your own server to be sure they work
correctly first. Win NT is about as easy as win95 to learn.
www.2webspinners.com
You can enter our web design contest and show off your scripting and
dynamics and win your own domain name, space for life, plus a lot more of
cool stuff. Tell all your friends that develop to check it out at

i should spin all of my contracts as contests too ;)
but what i really want to know is when your company gets bought
out, does the winner still have "space", or does "for life" mean
"until we aren't called by the same name or run bu the same people
anymore".
note to the wise: if you are good enough to win, you are good
enough to get paid real money. you can have all of that other
stuff for $19.95 a month and the price of Linux and Perl and Apache.

Message-Id: <36609D6E.CD9A7B4B@zerolimits.com>
First off, cgi-bin is a folder.
It's generally the name of the folder holding your cgi scripts.
You do need to run some type of server to use CGI,
where the I stands for interface. It's a method ofcommunicating
between your browser and your server (This is simplifying).
Also, what OS are you using ? If you're using
Linux or UNIX, then Apache might be running already.
You don't have to use a form to access a script,
a simple link to the script will work.
If you want to pass parameters to your script, you
can do it like so:
file://path/to/my/script.cgi?param1=hello¶m2=world
as pointed out by Bart Lateur in the thread: Perl in HTML -without FORM
Hope this helps,
Doug

? It doesnt appear that HTML::Parser actually cares whether the
attribute names have underscores in them - perhaps you got an old version
of HTML::Parser.
Otherwise I wholeheartedly concur with you.

Subject: Newbie: Search Engine
Message-Id: <73q74u$l64$1@news00.btx.dtag.de>
Hi all,
I desperately need help with a search script written in perl. I want to
use a script called "Search_Engine Script", available for download from
http://www.extropia.com/, to make it possible for visitors to my site to
search some of the files of my web site.
How do I get this script installed? I thought it would be possible to
run it on my local Win95 system, so I inserted the correct directories
into the script files and a searching form into a temporary search.html
file. But now, if I enter anything into the form, my browser just
displays the script itself, not the results! If I run the perl compiler
on the .pl files, (with Perl 5 correctly installed), nothing happens.
What can I do to solve this problem? What file format do the script
files have to be to run properly?
I would like to test the script on my local system before looking for a
free CGI hosting service. (My ISP doesn't provide me with CGI.)
Or are there even better solutions than this script? Thanks in advance
for your replies,
Matthias

^
Just a small observation. This specifies the minimum field width,
which is certain to be greater than 2, so specifying 2 is non-
functional. Better to leave it out.
BTW, there is no newsgroup alt.perl.

Subject: using XS for string interpolation
Message-Id: <ken-2811981619420001@min-mn4-15.ix.netcom.com>
[I posted this yesterday to comp.lang.perl.moderated, but I figured I'd
open it up the larger list too]
I'm trying to accomplish something that most seasoned Perlers have done
before - it's certainly not my first time doing this. What I want to do
is to take a Perl string like:
$my_st = 'blah blah $VAR blah \Uupper\E'
And do the variable interpolation, backslash sequences, and so forth. I
can't just do eval "\"$my_st\"", because the value of $VAR is going to be
filled in by a subroutine of my creation, a la &value_of('VAR'). See
MOTIVATION below.
I could try to write some Perl code to do this interpolation, by
recognizing certain backslash sequences, finding un-backslashed variables,
etc. But I am loathe to take this approach, because my implementation
will always be incomplete, and probably not behave the way Perl's compiler
behaves.
So, I decided that the best way to accomplish this would be to write a
module that would tap into Perl's compiler routines, probably by using
XS. Is this a good way to go? And where is Perl's code for interpolating
double-quoted strings?
I imagine that I'd use Perl's string compiler code to parse up the string,
then walk through the data structure it gives me, doing my own variable
lookups instead of Perl's. A good idea?
MOTIVATION: I'm trying to flesh out Apache::SSI, which should allow
variable interpolation inside SSI directives, like:
<!--#set name=one value=hi --> (like $one = 'hi')
<!--#set name=two value="$one" --> (like $two = $one)
<!--#set name=three value="s${two}pwreck" --> (like $three = "s${two}pwreck")
It should also handle backslashes:
<!--#set name=price value="\$2.50" -->
<!--#set name=quote value="he said, \"hi\"" -->
If I tapped into Perl's internal string processor, then it seems like I'd
get \n, \U and the like for free. The main difference between what I want
and what Perl does is that I only have scalar variables, not lists and
hashes.

ping -h puts it output to STDERR and you will find that it has placed that
into your error log.
You probably want to redirect STDERR to STDOUT with something like:
open STDERR,">&STDOUT" or die "Cant redirect - $!\n";

Thanks for the response...I'm going to do that. Is this something I can get
for
free or is there a charge? I guess, being M$, I had to ask... ;-)

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.
