I hope it's not too simple, and that I am posting to the proper group. I
just want to clear all elements from an array. If I use @arrayname="" then
it appears that it sets the first element to null instead of having no
elements at all. Hope I'm not being too cryptic. Thanks.

Right newsgroup alright.

Yes, because it's equivalent to
@arrayname = ("");
Use either of:
@arrayname = ();
undef @arrayname;

Not reliably, IMHO. For instance:
print "@a\n"; and @a=(1..5);
print "@a\n";
produce different things as stand-alone snippets. How would an automated
converter know, intuitively, that it should change the fist instance to
print "\@a\n"; and leave the second instance untouched?
It would have to scan the entire program before making the determination,
and it would have to know all of the ways one can stuff a value into
a list. As Randal sez, this isn't a trivial thing, or the interpreter
would do it for you automagically.

Nope. Consider the following:
sub foo { print "hey @there"; }
@there = (1..5); &foo();
That will give the fatal error described above, but we really want to
leave @there alone.
So, it can't be mechanical. Sorry.
@there = qw(Just another Perl hacker,); print "@there";

not really. it is a runtime vs. compile time issue. perl5 needs to know
at compile time that it is an array. perl4 checked at runtime in the
interpolation of the string. if it was an array it was interpolated,
else it left in the literl @. that can't be automated as perl5 at
compile time can't tell if the @array will ever be created.

In a way, you're right. But, you said it: "fatal error".
It should have stayed as it is, if only the error wasn't fatal. And I
don't think that Perl4 would have "done the right thing" for this case,
either.

But I don't think the Perl 5 compiler currently works "properly" for the
example Randal has given.
I think that the "fatal error" should have been postponed until after
the *complete* source has been compiled (in the "semantic phase"), and
not "not found in the source compiled so far", as it seems to do right
now. Only if the array isn't found at all (and literal evals don't
count), the error may be given.

perl4 would have interpolated @there into the print string. that is the
"right" thing for perl4 to do. the variable existed at the runtime call
of foo so it gets interpolated. perl5 needs to know at compile time of
the print string itself. it allows a array variable inside a string only
if it has been declared before the use in compile time. if the above
code had the assignment before the sub definition it would work in
perl5.
the big change is as i said, runtime vs. compile time determination if
an array get interpolated or not.

I believe that in some future version of Perl, the fatal error will be
removed, and @foo in a double-quotish string will *always* interpolate
the array @foo. The fatal error is used in order to force programmers
to note the change in behavior.
Anyway, I think it's much easier for the programmer to mention the array
ahead of time, than for the compiler to keep track of all the @name's in
double-quotish strings.

Subject: automatic server startup
Message-Id: <7b6caq$phu$1@mailusr.wdf.sap-ag.de>
Hello,
we have a small network running at home for test stuff.
Altogether we have 7 Server which have to be online to be able
to do what we want, but 7 Server online 24h a Day kost lot's of money
(Electr.). So what I think to do is the following:
One 386 with DOS and a Relais Card.
A Program (Perl?) which is Pinging one System after another and if one
Worstation returns a Ping it will give Power to the Server via the Relais
Card. So only the 386 will be online 24h a Day.
The Server Group can be shutdown from a Intranet Web Page already, but you
still have to boot the stuff yourself.
Any Ideas how to do such a thing, tried several things already but could not
find any Perl command which allows me to analyse the return of a Ping.
Thanks
Andi

See 'man perlipc'.
Servers that run in the background often use one or more FIFO's for
communication. A FIFO is a pipe that appears to be and can be used just
like a regular file with a filename. Just don't use the -s file test
because it will be zero. I have one script that forks 2 children to
control stdin, stdout and read current status from stderr of an external
binary that expects to use files for data in and out. The status is
either displayed on the screen or converted to % to a dialog guage.

Try using system 'xterm ... &'; -- the ampersand at the end will tell

That's how I usually start X applications from the command line, anyway.

perlop:
Evaluating a filehandle in angle brackets yields the next line from
that file (newline, if any, included), or undef at end of file.
Ordinarily you must assign that value to a variable, but there is one
situation where an automatic assignment happens. If and ONLY if the
input symbol is the only thing inside the conditional of a while or
for(;;) loop, the value is automatically assigned to the variable $_.
Note that 'if and ONLY if'; you're discarding the line of input.

Straight from perlmod:
The two statements:
require SomeModule;
require "SomeModule.pm";
differ from each other in two ways. In the first case, any double
colons in the module name, such as C<Some::Module>, are translated
into your system's directory separator, usually "/". The second
case does not, and would have to be specified literally. The other
difference is that seeing the first C<require> clues in the compiler
that uses of indirect object notation involving "SomeModule", as in
C<$ob = purge SomeModule>, are method calls, not function calls.
(Yes, this really can make a difference.)
This last bit should probably be in perlfunc's 'require' entry, but
there is no bug in the behaviour. As you have seen, it really _can_
make a difference.

If you want to calculate Dates, get the Module Manip::Date (I think).
Otherwise, you are on ten safe side if you convert the date to
unix-time (seconds since 1.1.1970). Than add 10*24*60*60 (10 Days in
Seconds). Then reconvert to your format again. This can be done using
the functions gmtime, timegm (or localtime, timelocal if you don't
want to use GMT).
hope this helps,

Well, after 6 months, here's the answer to the quiz: what do we do about
comp.lang.perl.moderated. Answer: nothing.

]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.
