Subject: Accessing User files from CGI without files being WordWritable
Message-Id: <8GAk2.15644$Js2.4029@news.rdc1.nj.home.com>
I'm working on writing a CGI script for one of my web servers that will need
to place files into different user directories and delete files. The problem
is I don't want to make the directories and/or files wordable readable.
I will be using a SSL Server and will be getting the username/password from a
form.
Looking around, the current thought I had was to use NET::telnet and telnet
back to the same server and pass the information that way. Could this be done?
More importantly, am I missing an easier/better method.
I'm just getting started with PERL and actually just returning to programming
in earnest after about a 8yr hiatus from Pascal
Thanks in advance.
Please, if possible reply via email -- I'm not yet a full time reader of this

I'm new to Perl for Win32, and have found a feature particularly
disturbing. Does anyone know how to keep ActivePerl from minimizing the
DOS box when running a script from the command line?
I can't adequately express how annoying this is.

What do you mean by 'extract'? How do you know which word to extract?
Do you want to extract words from a list of specific words? Do you want
to extract every Nth word? Do you want to extract words that match a
specific pattern?
Perl can undoubtedly do what you want, but you need to figure out
exactly what that is first. :-)

Maybe I can look into that. It sounds like if I could get it to work, it would
solve a lot of problems...

Do you have any information on creating a multithreaded server? Unfortunately,
my budget floats serenly at a little less than zero, so I can't buy any books.
If I can get a fork command to work, great, but if I can't, I need some other
way of doing it.

I guess I've always just wanted to write things that I've used many times but
never really looked at. I wrote a list server about a year ago, but not in
perl. I never got around to porting it, because I had no use for it anymore. I
just want to see if I can make my own... hey, if a PERL beginner 15 years old
can do it, it can't be that complicated, right? :-)
As for why not Unix, it's because I don't have a Unix server. I do have an OS/2
server, and a WindowsNT workstation with webserver and stuff installed. I'm
just making do with what I have.
Thanks for the input... if you have any more, I'd really appreciate it!

I asked a short while ago if anyone had an elegant solution to the problem
of matching text between balanced parentheses. I received a reply from
someone whose name I omit, not because I wish in any way to hide their
authorship, but to avoid exposing them to spam.
The resulting snippet of Perl has to be the most cunning and elegant piece
of code I think I have ever seen in 22 years of programming. After 15
minutes of careful study I *still* don't exactly see how it works, though I
am, of course, a Perl novice, to say the least. Slightly modified from the
original, here it is
while (<>)
{
($re=$_)=~s/(\()|(\))|./\1.\2/sg;
print ((/$re/s)[0]);
}
Try it with
(a+b+(c/d)+e)+(g+h)
and it will match the first part of the expression i.e (a+b+(c/d)+e)
but, gentlefolk, how does it work?. Hint: try printing $re to see what the
initial substitution does. Then consider the match operation in the print
statement considering $re presumably gets interpolated.
Interestingly, the match operation will throw an error if the parentheses
are unbalanced as a side effect of the process, which could be useful in its
own right. Yes, this is indeed a cunning piece of code....

Assuming that like the subject says, you want to do so under Windows NT:
www.activestate.com has a "Perl Development Kit" beta that you can download.
It requires Activeperl 5.08 (or something like that... the newest release),
and it has a file with it called "perlexe.pl" that you can use to compile a
perl script to a standalone or dependent .exe file. One thing you should
consider, though, is that a fairly simple script that I wrote to connect to a
remote socket, send a character, and disconnect, compiled to a standalone .exe
file about 850k big, so the files can get a little large.
Good luck!

The rest of your explanation is fine, but this part is incorrect.
$tree1{'Smith'} *does* still equal 'NJ', and there is no anonymous hash
{ 'Bob' => 'CT' }. Instead, there is a named hash %NJ, and
$tree1{'Smith'} is used as a symbolic reference to it.

The rest of your explanation is fine, but this part is incorrect. The
value 'NJ' is *not* clobbered. It is used as a symbolic reference to a
hash named %NJ.

Subject: Perl and the Windows April Fools 2001 bug
Message-Id: <3692E254.4153E3D@tiac.net>
Hello,
I have found a quasi-Y2K bug in Visual C++ (or possibly Windows). It looks
like a program built with VC++ that calls the localtime() runtime library function
is going to get the wrong time of day from April 1, 2001 thru April 7, 2001.
A technical description of the bug can be found at:
http://security.pharlap.com/y2k/april1.htm
A live test page for the bug can be found at:
http://security.pharlap.com/y2k/demo1.htm
My question, will Win32 Perl programs also fail on April 1, 2001
because the Windows Perl interpreter uses the broken Visual C++
localtime() function? I am was hoping that someone could write
a quick test in Perl for this bug and post the results.
TIA,
Richard

My thought was that, if you're going to include it on the CD, it should be
in a ready-to-print form, a la perlref(which, I note, hasn't been updated
for 5.005).

Subject: Perl embedded C in netscape
Message-Id: <Pine.SOL.3.95.990106110425.10317B-100000@iesun60>
Hi all,
i need to using perl on the netscape, and the perl call a C
program. The run-time of the C program is about 10 minute and it write
some data set for several file.
my problem is when the perl is running, the c program can only write a
portion (less than 10%) then the the perl quite the c program and do the
remain part. can anyone tell me what the problem occurs, i can successful
run the perl in unix machine but why netscape cant??? does the running
time of C affect the result or the writing actions of C affect it??
regards,
Vincent Lee

I'm grateful to the original poster nonetheless. Because now, with maybe
ten or less lines of code, I can create a script which I'll just tell
awestruck novices is an object-oriented Schwartzian Transform
incorporating features of dyadic list laminates... :-)

Subject: Using Perl to access a MS Access DB from Web
Message-Id: <76tnd7$akg$1@news.neumedia.net>
I am a college student working on my senior project and would appreciate any
help you can give. I am writing a database in MS Access and want to be able
to access it through a web page. This means I want to be able to create a
form where a user can input data, query the database, and generate reports
all from web pages. I am considering using Perl as the CGI language, but I
really am not sure how this all works. I am teaching myself Perl right now
and any help or pieces of code would be greatly appreciated.
I really would appreciate any pieces of code demonstrating how Perl would
take strings from a text box on a web page and insert it into a field in the
Access database.
Thanks,

Subject: Why _cannot_ dmake libwin32 ???
Message-Id: <3692DBEF.CF6BAC22@mediaone.net>
I know that there will be some things that I cannot do with Perl
v5.00502 built under EGCS on NT v4.0.
But, is this a deadend? And, why is `Win32' _not_ part of the
`stable.zip' source?
Please, what am I doing wrong?

You can only use this install.bat with a compatible binary
distribution of perl from the CPAN. I can't find
d:\perl5\5.00502.egcs\bin\MSWin32-x86/cw3230mt.dll
in your installation, which would seem to indicate that
you don't have a compatible installation. If you have a
C compiler that is supported for building perl extensions,
use:
perl Makefile.PL
dmake
dmake install
to install this package. Please see the README file for
more specific information.

Hello,
UltraEdit is fine, but it's got a couple terrible bugs. Ever notice that the
scrolling goes haywire when you open a very large file? Also, when you paste a lot
of text into it.
And the text-coloring is a nice feature, but it goes nuts with large javascripts.
I've also seen it crash due to unexplained non-ascii chars.
These are not really big problems, but they're there.
I've tried emacs, but holy christmas, yes, there's a learning curve! -- one of
these days...

Well, after 6 months, here's the answer to the quiz: what do we do about

]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.
