If you can run a perl script you can look at the manual. Try perldoc...
You can't assign to $1 since it is a read only variable which has a special
meaning to perl. Use a different variable name. Anyway doing say
$fred = @inputData will set $fred to the number of elements in @inputData
which is not want you want. You could use join to make one big string or
you could loop over the array which would be less memory intensive...
Also [ is special in a regex and your regex replaces all occurances of any
of the letters T, y, p, e, O, f, C, a, r, d with the value of
$in{'TypeOfCard'}, which I'm sure you don't want to do really.
You also don't do error checking on your open which is bad.
Try learning some perl and it should be a little easier....
s/\[TypeOfCard\]/$in{'TypeOfCard'}/go for (@inputData);
might be what you are looking for...

I just wanted to thank everyone for the response (don't want to make it

answer I was looking for) was the ability to see many different ways of
doing the same thing (well, they were mostly the same, but you get the

Subject: Help with Binary file transfer in perl, please?
Message-Id: <76ed6d$cuu$1@usenet01.srv.cis.pitt.edu>
I wrote a c++ program that allows documents to be uploaded via a browser,
and I'm surfing today, and there's something in Perl that does this already,
CGI.pm and CGI-LIB.pl
Anyway, I snag them, write up a quickie program that *should* work, and it
appears to work fine w/ text files, and images (bmp's, gif's, etc) but won't
work w/ DOC or XLS files.
The part of the code that handles the document transfer is listed below.
What's happening is the file IS indeed transferring, and it's showing up w/
the exact same size, and file attributes, but if I open the file in WORD,
then
it gives me an error, "Make sure you've named the file *.doc" or some other
crap error.
When I WinDiff the files, ie. the one from my local machine versus the one
that was newly transferred, WinDiff says the files are the Exactly the same
except for Spacing differences....
Anyone w/ any knowledge or insite into this, I would greatly appreciate some
assistance...
the other notable oddity is when I try to open the transferred file from the
Server in IE4.01, it tries to download it first, before going to the
'in-place automation' feature that it does w/ other Office files that are
opened in the browser.
---code snip----
undef $BytesRead;
undef $Buffer;
open(OUTFILE,">>$newfile");
binmode(OUTFILE);
while ($Bytes = read($File_Handle,$Buffer,1024)) {
$BytesRead += $Bytes;
print OUTFILE $Buffer;
}
push(@Files_Written, "$TARGET_DIR\/$Filename");
$TOTAL_BYTES += $BytesRead;
$Confirmation{$File_Handle} = $BytesRead;
close($File_Handle);
close(OUTFILE);
---end snip----
I'd be glad to offer the whole source if someone thinks it's necessary..
Thanks again for any assistance...

Subject: Newbie Using Active for WIN32
Message-Id: <368AC3EE.4FA1542E@dial.pipex.com>
Hi,
I've just got my mitts on ActivePerl for WIN32. It seems to be installed
okay, and I can do the 'Hello world' programs okay, but what I would
like to do is set up a system such that I can test programs for
interpreting data submitted by web page forms, also local to my machine.
This is on win95.
The success I've had is limited. I seem to have convinced my browser to
open the file, and it even runs it, but without using any of the data
that it should be passed, and it fails to return that data to the
browser.
I'm presuming that I need some sort of program to act as a web server.
Is that correct? Does anyone have any advice on how to get one, or where
I might find out more? Or is there something else wrong?
Andy

Use the SRVANY tool from the NT 4.0 Server Resource Kit. The documentation
is adequate to get you up and running in fifteen minutes. I've tried
several minor scripts using this technique and they launch as expected.
One checks a POP3 mailbox every ten minutes so it should be possible to
do what you describe.

I installed ActivePerl on a machine #1 and a Perl program I ran works fine.
But when I run the same program on machine #2 by accessing Perl\bin\perl on

after installing PerlCRT.dll.

As a flying leap of a guess, you could always put the location of perl
and the perlcrt.dll into your path on machine #2, assuming that you are
sharing a drive from machine #1. Of course, don't include
c:\winnt\system32 or c:\windows\system32 from machine #1 in the path of
machine #2. It will most likely lead to hilarious but evil
consequences.
Caveat #1: I havent't tried this myself. To limit aggravation with Mr.
Bill's OS, I just put the perl tree (c:\perl\...) on any machine I want
it to run on, adjust the path, punch the appropos stuff into HKCR (.pl &
such), and everything is easy.
Caveat #2: I am not using the ActivePerl distribution, but rather one
built from the regular source distribution.

Message-Id: <368AC29C.11300CA3@cig.mot.com>
Hi all,
1. I am trying to make client / server programs using perl/tk.
The server is made using C++.
The client will be made using perl/tk ( with GUI ).
But I need a bi-directional socket between these client / server
programs.
2. The server C++ program will send a message at every 5 seconds to the
client.
The client perl/tk program must receive this message and display on
its GUI canvas.
3. But, anytime, if one of buttons on the client GUI program (perl/tk)
is pushed, then
the corresponding message must be sent to the server and the server
must receive this message.
4. So, I need a bidirectional socket with Non-blocking I/O.
I don't have any idea how to resolve this.
Do you have any idea?
Please, I need some grue's help.
Heungmook Choi,
Motorola.

Or Perl FAQ, part 8:

The following lists require confirmation for subscription-
All egcs lists ( 6 lists )
All perl.org lists ( 30 lists )
All debian.org lists ( 67 lists )
All redhat.com lists ( 21 lists )
All gnome.org lists ( 12 lists )

143 out of 148 is certainly sufficient to claim most.

If most lists only required one mail this would be true.

No, it won't make any difference. People who don't bother to provide
standards compliant mail and news articles certainly aren't going to

Sorry, I was in a really pissy mood this morning, I could probably
have phrased myself better. It doesn't change that registration and
address confirmation is a reasonable burden to bear for the privilege
of posting to clpmod.

I thought the idea of a moderated list was to have an intelligent

There's few "scheduling" things in these pages of Gary's Encyclopedia:
http://www.aa.net/~swear/pedia/pim.html
http://www.aa.net/~swear/pedia/business.html
IIRC, at least one of them used a backend database, but I
don't recall any that mentioned "time-tracking". I wouldn't
be suprised if they could be used for that, though.

]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

]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.
