Subject: [AJM] Tables and CGI.pm
Message-Id: <36c7441f.485755@news.supernews.com>
Ok, I'm no expert with CGI.pm but I'm kind of stuck...
Here's the issue.
I have a table that contains two columns A and B.
Everything in column A is right aligned and everything in column B is left
aligned. Works great in HTML... I try doing this with CGI.pm to no avail. How
do I set up the td() variable to do this????
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[ td() isn't a variable, it's a method ]
perldoc CGI has an example of generating a table.
By simply extending the logic of table attributes,
how about:
print table({width => '100%', border => 1},
TR(
td({align => 'right'}, 'left').
td({align => 'left'}, 'right')
)
);

Subject: CGI.pm and empty multipart forms
Message-Id: <7a72ci$n8u$1@nnrp1.dejanews.com>
I'm finishing up a CGI which performs the basic function of displaying
whatever data is sent to it. Readers of my Guide to HTML find it useful for
practicing forms. (You're welcome to try it out:
http://www.idocs.com/cgi-bin/mc/mycgi.pl ). I've run into one problem I
can't figure out. Consider the following form:
<FORM
METHOD=POST
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"
ACTION="http://www.idocs.com/cgi-bin/mc/mycgi.pl"
>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
That's a multi-part form with no fields. Now, if you're thinking "that's
wrong, such a form makes no sense" then you're right -- but this is for
practice and sometimes people send silly data in practice.
When such a form is submitted, CGI.pm barfs up an error: "Malformed multipart
POST". What I'd rather do is catch the situation and write out something more
useful like "Multipart forms must have at least one field". Could some kind
person explain how this might be done?

Message-Id: <Pine.OSF.4.00.9902150937440.23289-100000@yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au>
My problem is that I want to create a file and write data to it using
Perl. Or any other languages.
The file name is supplied by the client in the Web browser and the data is
written to it upon form submission.
What I have tried is the following
1) $filename = "$FORM{'filename'}".".txt";
open (RECORD, "+>filename");
print RECORD "...form data...";
My problem is that the file isnt created. So I dont really think that Perl
can create a file? So am I right?? Is there any other languages that
creates a file... besides Java (becoz I hate java :-))?? Can someone tell
me how to do it pls? I think that this problem is pretty common... and
that you can create files trivially(?) but I sure dont know how to do it.
This problem has been bothering me for ages!!!
Pls Help. Tnx in advance.

Subject: greedy operators - help!
Message-Id: <fWEx2.1873$bP2.19644@typhoon-sf.pbi.net>
In Korn Shell I can very simply strip the extension of a filename like this:
fn=tst.part.of.the.name.ext
echo ${fn%.*}
...which returns: "tst.part.of.the.name". I could become greedy by
specifying
echo ${fn%%.*}
...which would return "tst".
In Perl I seem unable to accomplish the same thing very elegantly, I can
say:
$fn =~ s/(.*)\..*/$1/;
which works but if I use the more elegant:
$fn =~ s/\..*$//;
I get greedy behaviour by default and the non-greedy operator I can't seem
to make work. What's wrong with this?
$fn =~ s/\..*?$//;
thx.

the non-greedy modifier, ?, takes the shortest match. the
quantifier, *, matches 0 or more times. the shortest match for the
combination *? is nothing. however you have to match up to the end
of the line says the anchor, $, which makes the shortest match that
which matches until the end of the line.
since what you are trying to do is to remove the file extension, you
should make sure that your regex starts removing things at the last
'.' rather than the first one. your first regex did the trick ;)

I don't recall what the "first regex" was, but take care about
what it does with a filename such as /foo.bar/baz !

I have a very small Perl file that I created to do simple Date and Time

Nothing like Date:Manip, but a lot smaller.
If you are interested in it, drop to my web site and take it.

You need to use this exact address, just dropping inot the main page will

Subject: Problem With Output of HTML Headers - Interesting
Message-Id: <7a70dt$htd$1@solaris.cc.vt.edu>
This mail is verbose but it spells out a simple problem plainly so please be
patient. If your newsreader processes HTML you will want to turn the HTML
support off.
The problems occur when I access the script though a webpage. I am running
this script with the newest [as of yesterday] version of ActivePerl.
Specifcally, I am using perlis.dll under NT4 SP4.
I have this script:
#! /usr/local/bin/perl
do PrintHeader();
print "<B>Do you see this?</B>\n";
do PrintFooter();
exit;
sub PrintHeader
{
print "<HTML> ";
print "<HEAD> ";
print "</HEAD> ";
print "<BODY> ";
}
sub PrintFooter
{
print "</BODY>";
print "</HTML>";
}
Which runs but the output HTML does not even resemble what you would expect.
Here is what I get:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type>
</HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
Where did all of that come from? Yes, I am absolutely certain that I am
running the script I think. I experimented and found that if I added to
\n's just after the 'print "<BODY> "' the output changes.
So if I modify the above script's PrintHeader to:
sub PrintHeader
{
print "<HTML> ";
print "<HEAD> ";
print "</HEAD> ";
print "<BODY>\n\n ";
}
I will now get the following output:
<B>Do you see this?</B>
</BODY></HTML>
This obviously came from my script but what happened to the output of
PrintHeader? It seems to be running as changes to its code changes the
operation of the script - but where did the output go? Why did the two \n's
change the whole script's output?
Here is another twist - when I run perl.exe on the scripts from the NT
command line they both work fine. So the problem is in perlis.dll in its
interaction with the webserver.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have played with it some more and have found that a \n before the

this.

Sounds like you've got some buffering issues:

You will have no way of knowing what order the fields will be coming in.
Use CGI.pm to retrieve and decode the fields and values for you, and it will
all be in a hash with filed name as key and its values.

Walter and Steve,
In fact you can.
Simply ask CGI.pm for param. It will spit out a list of elements in original
order as they occured on the form.

Bzzzt, please try again...
The field order is *not* sorted. What does
"occured" (sic.) mean? The textual order in the
source of the HTML document? The order in which the
form fields were rendered by a browser? Alphabetic
order?

Subject: Web based calendar
Message-Id: <7a7fi3$2iv@sjx-ixn8.ix.netcom.com>
I'm very new to perl / CGI programming etc, so excuse my ignorance.
As a learning exercise, I want to create a very simple web based calendar,
I just want to pick a date, and be able to make an entry. Then redisplay
the calendar showing the new entry.
Does anyone know of a calendar 'widget', or an perl modual that I could use
to help me with this effort.
Thanks for your comments.

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.
