1) That's not a Perl question.
2) Every browser already has that functionality.
3) You can't do that.

Yes you can. If you are going to try to answer a question, answer it
or just keep quiet. If you are going to answer anyway, and still just say
it can't be done, at least note that it can't be done AS FAR AS YOU KNOW.
Five little letters, AFAIK, will do the trick.

Well, if you want to go the easiest, although slightly incompatible
(requires 3.0 browser or newer) way, just but the following link on the
missing fields page:
<A HREF="javascript:document.history.back();">Go Back</A>
You can, of course, change the text of the link :)
I use one of these in my text navigation bar across the top of all of my
pages, comes in handy.

Here we go again... Abigail knows what she's talking about. It can't be
done. And she did answer the question, completely correctly.

And if I turn off javascript in my browser for security reasons? If I use
Lynx, or any of dozens of other browsers that don't support Javascript?
Then you have a dead link which says "Go back" and doesn't do anything,
confusing your visitors. Maybe you assume that all of your viewers have
javascript-capable and -enabled browsers. Maybe you think that's safe to
assume.
If you read Abigail's document, you will get a clearer understanding of
the issue.

This is the script I use to check mail from my corporate account. I
have xbiff
set up to use it. (The names have been changed to protect the
innocent.) Then
when xbiff shows I have mail, I start my mail client to actually
retrieve the
mail. Of course, POP3Client is capable of much, much more than this,
e.g., you
could actually write a mail reading client with it. But this is
sufficient for
my needs.
#!/tools/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Mail::POP3Client;
my $pop = new Mail::POP3Client('bob', 'bob1', 'your.mail.server');
exit 0 if $pop->Count() > 0;
exit 2;

Message-Id: <Pine.LNX.3.96.990119184754.30494E-100000@gw.al.lg.ua>
Good day.
The perl module Net::RawIP 0.03 just released.I have announce about
0.02 version.
Thanks all for interest and suggestions.
If you don't remember or don't knew about Net::RawIP before:
Net::RawIP is a perl module can to manipulate raw IP packets,
with an optional feature for manipulating Ethernet headers.
Net::RawIP can be used for easy writing low level programms
which can manipulate raw IP packets directly from Perl.
Changes from 0.02 to 0.03:
- port to Linux with glibc
- port to Alpha Linux
- port to Solaris
- port to FreeBSD
- fix memory leaks
- fix problems with gcc 2.7.2.1
- implemented manipulate IP and TCP options
- implemented generic subclass for generic ip datagramms
After week if you do not fing big bugs I'll upload Net::RawIP 0.03 to CPAN
Homepage of Net::RawIP: http://quake.skif.net/RawIP/
Just one small example.
ipopt_traceroute.pl
-----------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
# This script use IP option called "record route" for emulate traceroute.
# Unfortunately max size of ip options is only 40 bytes and we can see

use Net::RawIP;
require 'getopts.pl';
Getopts('i:s:d:');
die "Usage $0 -i <interface> -d <dest host> -s <your host>"
unless ($opt_d && $opt_d && $opt_s);
$a = new Net::RawIP ({icmp =>{}});
$a->set({ip => {saddr => $opt_s,
daddr => $opt_d},
icmp => {type => 8, id => $$}
});
$data = "\5".("\0" x 37);
$a->optset(ip => {type => [(7)],data =>[($data)] });
$device = $opt_i;
$filt = "ip proto \\icmp and dst host $opt_s";
$size = 1500;
$tout = 30;
$pcap = $a->pcapinit($device,$filt,$size,$tout);

$a->send(1,1);
}
sub dmp{

What are you trying to achieve ?
$mysub = "function1"; simply assigns the string function1 to the variable
$mysub.
You call the subroutine using &function1.
$mysub would be assigned the value 1, if the subroutine was successful.

I agree. Refusal to do so as a matter of policy is a fascistic response
to a polite and reasonable request. I often CC the response on my
own, unless requested not to -- it gets to the questioner much faster, as
a rule.
Of course, if the email address supplied is bogus (as Willem's is !;-)

Q1:
What is the correct (OS-independent) way to determine the
OS ... is it $^O ?
Q2:
Also, I have a Perl script which sets up configuration files
for IP-over-X.25 operation. This requires super-user privileges.
I am trying to produce a CGI version of this script ... but how,
basically, do I become super-user from within the script ?
I am aware of the security concerns surrounding this.
Does this involve use of setuid ? Do I need th caller to provide
username and password for super-user access ?

I am looking for a way to have an external data file contain (among other
things) variables, and then when the file is read, the variables be
evaluated.
Assume the following file for a CGI script to read:
<FORM ACTION=$MYNAME METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=name>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=parent VALUE=$pid>
</FORM>
In the .cgi script, '$MNAME' and '$pid' are set to 'index.cgi' and '1312'
respectively.
How can I have Perl print the file, evaluating the variables as it goes?
Thanks in advance,
Chad Lawson

For starters, escape the quotes in the image tag:

Then consider putting the image in a web directory and calling it with
its web path:

If you are sure that colons ":" appear only where you expect them to
(end of title description), you can modify $/ to read up to colons.
(have a look in perlvar for more about $/ et al.)
WARNING: this is untested code.
{
local $/ = ":"; # change the input record separator
my ($before, $title);
while (<>) { # assuming the input comes from STDIN
# this reads up to the first colon
($before, $title) = (/^(.*?)(TITLE.*)$/s);
# split the title part from the rest
if ($title) {
# if the title part exists (sanity check)
$title =~ s/\s+/ /g; # change all combinations
# of whitespace to one space
print "$before\n$title\n";
} else {
print;
}
}
}
Hope this helps,

I am currently reading Schwartz's book "Learning Perl" and I'd like to
put some of the examples into pracice. The problem is that I'm running
under DOS. Could someone please give me my options for obtaining a
version of Perl that runs under DOS and how to go about getting it to
run. If indeed, it's possible in the first place.
Thanks so much,
Jack

Yes. There's the OS/2 port, and the DJ Delorie GNU port (DJGPP). See
CPAN ( http://www.cpan.org/ or http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ ) under
"ports", section "#msdos", for more info.
You can get the DJGPP ports (including more recent versions than the one
on CPAN!) also from a DJGPP *mirror*, through
http://www.delorie.com/gnu/dl . I stress "mirror", because the main site
is very slow (on a modem). You shouldn't use that. Unless you have a
reorganized site, the Perl packages are under djgpp/v2gnu. You need a
DPMI server program to run under plain DOS, too (under v2misc).
HTH,
Bart.

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>

]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.
