Remember, initializing a hash is very similar (if not the same)

We all love it, but in this case it has *not* led you to the fastest
solution, by far. You should look at the bottom of page 146, for the
special case of appending one hash to another, which is what was
requested here.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use Benchmark;
%a = ( 'a' .. 'z' );
%b = ( 'A' .. 'Z' ); # Add all new keys.
%c = ( 'a' .. 'z' ); # Overwrite all keys.
timethese ( (1 << (shift || 0) ), {
Merge0 => sub { %b = (%b, %a) },
Merge1 => sub { %c = (%c, %a) },
Slice0 => sub { @b{keys %a} = values %a },
Slice1 => sub { @c{keys %a} = values %a },
} );
__END__
Benchmark: timing 16384 iterations of Merge0, Merge1, Slice0, Slice1...
Merge0: 11 wallclock secs (10.36 usr + 0.00 sys = 10.36 CPU)
Merge1: 6 wallclock secs ( 6.53 usr + 0.00 sys = 6.53 CPU)

coding is implemention, but before this you need two things:
1. know the problem, then the software design.
2. know the language before you try to read other's code.

Not strictly true, because of newlines. Witness:
l> perl
$_ = "blablablaboo\nboo";
m|bla(.*)boo|;
print "|$1|\n";
m|bla(.*\s+)boo|;
print "|$1|\n";
m|bla(.*)boo|s;

What you describe as return carriages might be instead the 'carriage
return' character \r.

If that doesn't work for some reason, you can still use the
supplied perldoc script to view module information. You
might also look into getting a replacement man program.

On dos-derived systems, I believe the same manual pages are supplied
as html. I believe that most good books on perl also mention perldoc.
And of course every third post in this group mentions it.
No, there is no one telling you what all the tools are, but that is
true for every environment and language. You learn by reading the
documentation, or parts of it. You learn by using it. You learn by
reading this group. But that is true for everything (except maybe that
you can't learn about everyhting in this group).

Writing sorts that perform well on large files is very difficult.
If you need (1) decent performance and, (2) reasonable assurance that
the output is correct, I suggest that you write the check.

Whenever you find yourself asking a question like "I wonder if anyone
has written a module to do X?", you should immediately think "CPAN!".
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/00modlist_long.html
Look for the section with HTTP in the title.

Of course, the illustration was not a self-generating program, but
merely the use of a file handle with the name DATA. I chose to open
and read $0 because that didn't require another file to be created to
run the program :)

I believe that there have been a few threads on this group about this.

Normally it only works if sent to the right address, but thanks to the

sending mail to me asking what was happening), it not only got Basil

Whenever you open something like this, it's always good to
check the return value:
open (...) or die "Can't open: $!\n"
In this case it probably would have told you that the program
'mail' doesn't exist. For Windows 95/98, one way to send mail
is by use of the Mail::Sendmail module, available from
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/M/MI/MIVKOVIC/
This allows one to compose a message and then forward it to
your SMTP server for delivery.

Except that it is appending to the file as it stands at the open - it might
be that another process has added to the file between the open and the lock.

As several people have pointed out elsewhere, though, this would not be a
problem if you did:
use strict;
use vars qw(@resource);
I do that with all of my scripts and modules now.

It's because in Perl v4 @ wasn't a special character in a quoted string.
So there had to be some sort of an error for old Perl v4 scripts that used
literal @ in strings since otherwise things would fail badly and silently.

I am confused. I don't think we were actually discussing this
behaviour under 'use strict'. I advised earlier in the thread to
always use strict, but the original post stated that the message from
perl was
In string, @resource now must be written as \@resource at ralsched.pm
line 414, near "@resource"
Under use strict, there should have been two messages, the second being:
Global symbol "resource" requires explicit package name at ralsched.pm
line 414.
As far as I can tell, the stuff I posted is still valid. Under use
strict you just limit the ways in which you can declare a variable.
Have I missed something in one of the posts?

Is there any way of choosing from a set of available instantiated objects of

I have a script that should open a document in a particular automation host.
Suppose there are two instances of the automation-server application. If I
use GetActiveObject() to get an object, it tries to get from the most
recently-registered automation server, apparently, so I really only am able
to access one session, which may be the wrong one! D'oh!

No, it is ****theoretically**** possible using Wine the windows

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.
