i think i figured it out. $4 looks to me like $\264!! i am getting it
expanded by emacs since it is not standard ascii. so something you are
using, prints ' and puts in \264 instead!! that is what i was
complaining about, programs which convert the key typed to a fancy non
standard version because it thinks it knows better. how did you type the
two pairs above ($` and $4 $` and $')? the left quotes look right in
both pairs but the right quote is only ok in the right pair.
you should look carefully at what you actually post, something is
munging your quote chars.

Subject: Apache httpd needs perl? wrong @INC
Message-Id: <75jv28$q4a$1@nnrp1.dejanews.com>
Hello,
I have Red Hat 5.1 with perl 5.005_2 and Apache 1.2.6 and when I tried
starting httpd recently I got this message:
httpd start
[Sun Dec 20 16:09:07 1998] Can't locate Apache.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00404
/usr/lib/perl5
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/i386-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
.
/etc/httpd/) at (eval 1) line 2.
Can't load Perl module `Apache', exiting...
Now, I know I removed Apache.pm and a bunch of other stuff from
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl the other day because I was upgrading to newer perl
(from 5.004_4 to 5.005_2) and wanted to install everything I removed to the
new site_perl dir (/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/)
My questions are:
1. why does Apache httpd even need perl in the first place?
I looked at all 3 .conf files and there is only one place where perl is
mentioned and that part is commented out
2. the @INC that is listed above is wrong - perl -V gives me different
directories. Why does this httpd have the wrong @INC? How do I tell it where
to look instead?
Thanks,
Otis

Hello,
What you need to do is something like the following:
#
# load the variables:
#
@addresses = ("tom","dick","harry");
#
# print the header of the html file:
#
print "<html></body>";
#
# etc... until you want to print the addresses. Then, you do this:
#
foreach $add (@addresses) {
print "<b>Email Address:</b>" . $add . "<BR>\n";
}
#
# then continue the html to the end of the file:
#
print "</body></html>";
exit;
#
# rough, but there's the basic idea.

You don't *have* to use Perl. There's many languages that can do this too.

Well, you can "print" HTML using Perl, but that's about all Perl has to do with
HTML., other then working with it, to pass variables, or whatever. A good place
to start, is: http://www.perl.com And take a look at the docs, etc. Also, there
are many good Perl books; i.e., Learning Perl, Programming Perl, Perl Cookbook,
Advanced Perl Programming, Effective Perl Programming, etc. (All of these are
published by O'Reilly, except for the "Effective Perl Programming" book, of which
I don't recall whom published it.
I hope you don't plan on learning Perl and trying to run it on Angelfire.
They don't allow users to run CGI in any form, and you'll need access to run CGI
on a server. Maybe you can go with hypermart.net and use that as your testing
ground, or maybe a personal web server on your own home computer... or whatever..
Good luck,

Not at all thick headed. You posed an interesting problem, and
apparently the work is not done yet (see Uri Guttman's latest post).
As you may know, some of us have been working on techniques for sorting
combinations of various primitive Perl data types as concatenated
strings, which is more efficient than even the Schwartz Transform.
A set of non-negative integers can be sorted by zero-or-blank left-
padding to 10 characters. A set of integers that may be negative can be
sorted similarly by first biasing up by 1 << 31. Reverse sorting is
done simply by negation before biasing and stringifying.
Non-negative floating-point numbers require some manipulation and
sorting as bit patterns, assuming IEEE-754 standard formatting. I
haven't figured out yet how to do that for negative floating-point
numbers or, hence, reverse sorting.
And now I know how to complement strings for reverse sorting. Wow!

I was just about to ask about this when your message came in! I don't need
to worry about it right now, but I am curious how to "stringify" a float
in a consistant way that would work for sorting. Seems rather tricky the
more I think about it.

unfortunately as we have discoverd, perl sux at random bit
manipulations. vec only does power of 2 sized fields. this manipulation
might blow away all the gains of the sort (for certain sizes of
sorts). that is a well known issue, the constant or linear overhead of
an algorithm counts less with greater data sets, but this overhead might
be very big in perl. i think we should stay away from that until the
numeric compare optimization is put in. then sort {$a <=> $b} will be as fast
as the builtin sort.
LR> And now I know how to complement strings for reverse sorting. Wow!
that was cool, larry. we definitely have to add it to our sort article.

The chop trick is cute.
A few minor points...
1. $c is global in the above routine. Make it my $c.
2. Rather than call uc for each $c, why not just call it once with
my $number = uc shift;
3. The big win (when being called many times) is defining %chars outside the
loop:
{ my %chars; @chars{(0..9, 'A'..'Z')} = (0..35);
sub base2dec {
# snip
}
}
(Indent to taste)
I'm getting negligible speedup for 2. (3% for four digit number) but 3. is a
4x gain under Benchmark-style conditions (and possibly why Randal's seems
fast in comparison: it has minimal setup costs. It's 50% slower than 3.
here.)
Conclusion: Uri method with Paul define-outside speed-up is fastest (also
see PPS)
Paul.
PS I prefer,
my $ret;
for (my ($multi,$c) = 1; $c = chop $number, length($c); $multi *= $base)
{
$ret += $chars{$c} * $multi;
}
But, hey.
PPS I prefer,
while(length($c = chop $number)) {
which is slightly (5%) quicker too.
But, like, hey.

faster is faster. fewer perl ops is fewer perl ops. i sometimes don't
like using an assignment as an lvalue. here it is good since it is
faster and that is the primary goal.

I've heard various rumors that Perl/tk plug-ins would be available for the
major browsers(Netscape, IE etc.). Does anyone have any idea if
JPL will evolve to the point that it is possible to write applications
that use the Java virtual machine using Perl and the tk API any time soon?
In this case it should be fairly easy to allow people to either use the
plug-in if it is avaible or simply run the application using the Java virtual
machine if the plug-in isn't available and the user doesn't want to take
the time to download it at that time.

I am in your situation, except the program worked for me. I'm not sure
what you are doing, but let me suggest a way to test the program. Write a
short perl program called my_pgm.pl, and save it to a file. Then go to the
dos prompt, shift the path to the directory where your program is loaded,
and then type: perl my_pgm.pl Worked for me??
Also, I find the ActiveState program complete and impressive and very
confusing when using the provided documentation. Is that Perl for Dummies
any good? Also, there is a O'Reilly book called something like Running
Perl on Windows95. Anybody have an opinion on that book for running the
ActiveState program?

I've tried that. I still get the message, "This program cannot
be run in DOS Mode." It only seems to work if executed through Win95
Explorer.

Well, I just started the Dummies book and couldn't get this DOS
prompt thingie to work, so I haven't gone any further. I find the
Dummies books are always a nice place to start with something light
just as a warmup, then go to the serious stuff. So the O'Reilly books
will be next -- if I ever get the darn thing to work.
I can get by with the DOS Mode problem, it's the window shutting
down when the program executes that's a bear.

I like the support for perl syntax highlighting. You can copy the
perl keywords from the UltraEdit web page into the wordfile.txt
file UltraEdit uses. You can also execute the perl script you are
editing directly from the editor

Well, after 6 months, here's the answer to the quiz: what do we do about
comp.lang.perl.moderated. Answer: nothing.
]From: Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
]Date: 21 Sep 1998 19:53:43 -0700
]Subject: comp.lang.perl.moderated available via e-mail
]
]It is possible to subscribe to comp.lang.perl.moderated as a mailing list.
]To do so, send mail to majordomo@eyrie.org with "subscribe clpm" in the
]body. Majordomo will then send you instructions on how to confirm your
]subscription. This is provided as a general service for those people who
]cannot receive the newsgroup for whatever reason or who just prefer to
]receive messages via e-mail.
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.
