With tcl you can write tclets which are tcl programs that can run in a
web page (requires a plugin). This is pretty cool and I was wondering if
there is something similar for Perl or if anybody is working on
something.
Here's where you read more about tclets:

Hi, Just had to learn, that there is more than one way to calculate the

1. Yes, something like
export PERL5LIB=/path/to/your/libdir
in your shell profile should do it. It will prepend
/path/to/your/libdir
to @INC .
(tho it's gonna work only as long as the script is run by you).
2. The other alternative, 'use lib', you already know about. If you
expect the script to be run by unknown users, this is preferable (it
modifies @INC at compile time and doesn't depend on the user's
evironment).
3. There's another way that modifies @INC directly, but it's a bad trick
and I won't go into it.
Note that none of these modify @INC permanently. I don't know that this
can be done without recompiling Perl.

Most reasonably current ports of Perl for Win32 support the crypt() function
(I know the ActiveState ports have supported crypt() for some time now).
The perl shipped with the NT ResKit for NT 4.0 (at least on my CD) was an
outdated port w/o crypt() support, and I believe the GS port of 5.004 also
lacked crypt() support, however.
So, if someone complains to you that crypt() is not available on their NT
system, you can simply suggest they upgrade Perl to something more current.

Subject: Perl module madness
Message-Id: <36AFFA03.D491131B@bellsouth.net>
Hi everyone,
I've been working on some Perl scripts, and have been amazed how much
using Perl modules like CGI.pm and LWP as well as others help. My major
audience is those who administer websites on the thousands of hosting
companies out there and don't have control over what modules are
installed. I've already gotten some complaints that some hosts don't
have the LWP modules installed - do you guys think that most modules
will be here to stay and every host will have them in the future?
Or should I go back to programming without modules. (I hate the old
sockets method and not using CGI.pm.)
Thanks!

Try this:
open (UPDATE, ">$datafile") || warn "can't open $datafile";
Perl will automaticly include line number in the message.
DO NOT place "\n" at the end of line.
You can use "die" instead of "warn"; then your script will exit
automatically.

Subject: reading local STDERR (not a backticks question)
Message-Id: <78osq2$ehr$1@nnrp1.dejanews.com>
Hi everyone,
First I'd like to waste four lines of bandwith apologizing if this question
has been asked and answered. I have, however, read the FM, the doc, and
searched Dejanews for my question. I have found similar ones, but not what I
need. So without further ado,
I have a function that calls "warn" if something goes wrong. What I would
like to do is call that function, and then be able to read STDERR to get the
warning. Now I know that this can be done by redirecting STDERR to a file,
then reading the file. However, I won't have permissions to write to a file,
so I would like to open a "virtual file" in memory or just open a variable
(can you do that?). I can't even write to something like /tmp/error since I
may not have permissions and I don't want to go around writing files.
The program I have so far (which works, but uses a temporary file) is this
--Begin prg---
sub foo {
warn "this is a warning";
}
open SAVEERR, ">&STDERR";
open STDERR, ">error.out" or die "can't redirect STDERR";
&foo;
open STDERR, ">&SAVEERR";
open PH, "error.out" or die "can't open foo.out";
my $error = <PH>;
print "warning was '$error'\n";
--End prg---
I would like to do something in the following psuedocode
$error = <STDERR>;
&foo;
print "resut was '$error'";
Other questions similar to this one have had answers like "use system" or "use
backticks". AFAIK, backticks and system are done for shell commands, not
internal commands. Can someone please enlighten me as to how to read internal
STDERR without opening a file? Is there some way to open a "pretend" file that
exists only in memory and redirect STDERR to that?
Thank you for your time and answers!

Not really odd. A lot of long running programs (like daemons) will

The easiest way is probably exec.
perldoc -f exec
This requires you know where the program is.

This won't even compile. Is this really what your script looks like?

You need parentheses around the if condition; that's a syntax error.
You've mistakenly put arguments to substr() inside the hash index;
that's a syntax error too, because now substr() doesn't have enough
arguments.

Do you honestly believe that the basic UNIX tools are compatible?
Even very old tools like 'grep' and 'awk' are different between
well-known UNIX platforms as Solaris and HP-UX.
Any non-trivial shell script I write and that's supposed to work on
multiple UNIX platforms has tests based on uname. Most of my Perl programs
don't; and if they have a test on $^O, it's for loading dynamic libraries
whose place in the file system depend on the OS. Ever had the problem
of a script failing because /usr/bin appeared before /usr/ucb in your
$PATH and hence the wrong `ps' was executed?
I certainly will frown upon seeing Perl code that uses 'system' to
move files, list files in a directory, or to get the current time.
Why do you think running Configure takes about as long as compiling Perl?
UNIX is a twisty little maze of tools, all different.

A more logical inference would be that the poster is referring to
different flavors of Unix.

Are you sure about this? I advise you to check the cc_runtime.h header file
for the PP_EVAL macro. Do you see a call to "runops" or a macro replacement
for it "CALLRUNOPS". This file gets included into the c file generated
by perlcc.I have a feeling your perlcc is still picking up the old header file
from some incorrect area.

Works fine for me. Can you post a brief code sample that shows what
you mean when you say that it doesn't work?

You can't go wrong with "Learning Perl".
Here are some bargain prices:
shopping.com has it for $19.47,
bookpool.com for $18.95

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.
