Message-Id: <7b74cj$v8g$1@nnrp1.dejanews.com>
Greetings,
I have a web CGI script that creates UNIX user accounts (in a temp. file).
Is there anyway I can update the try passwd file with the one I've just
created?
The passwd file has to remain "root" controlled.
In otherwords, can I virtually become "root" in my CGI script to do root
related tasks?
Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Coding Question
Message-Id: <36d71bba.106289436@nntp.cts.com>
I have a mySQL table with 43,000 rows. The columsn are zip, latitude,
and longitude. Basically the table relates the zip to its latitude and
longitude (in radians).
I am using the following equation to find the distance between to zips
based on the lat and long.
$x = sin($lat1) * sin($lat2) + cos($lat1) * cos($lat2) * cos($lon1 -
$lon2);
$rad_dist = atan2(-$x, sqrt(-$x * $x + 1)) + 2 * atan2(1,1);
$disance_in_miles = $rad_dist * 3958.754;
Which works fine. But now I would like to query my table. Basically,
I would like to ask the database "Give me all the zip codes within 10
miles of this zip code."
The solution I currently have is to construct a mySQL statment like
SELECT zipcode FROM mytable WHERE( ($radius_in_miles <= $RADIUS) )
Where $radius_in_miles is basically the SQL form of the equation
above.
This code makes the database engine search all 43,000 records.
I am wondering if anyone knows how (or if it is possible) to change
the above equation so I can provide a $disance_in_miles and
$starting_lat and $starting_long - and have the equation return a
maximum lat and long. Then I can simply query the database for lats
and longs within a range.
Thank you for your help.

interesting thought. what if you did that on a perl2exe on winblows? it
should also extract out the code. hell, you could just edit the binary
on emacs and do that.
about the only good way to do this is to write such bad code that no one
in their right mind would use it, let alone steal it. if they do, the
maintenance issues will be their punishment!

Well thanks, I appreciate the response:
but it's not as if I have a choice.
Catch 22
Perhaps I should then also ask if someone knows of a utility (written in
perl?) that will do the same.

Subject: FAQ 6.23: How do I match a pattern that is supplied by the user?
Message-Id: <36d70b17@csnews>
(This excerpt from perlfaq6 - Regexps
($Revision: 1.25 $, $Date: 1999/01/08 04:50:47 $)
part of the standard set of documentation included with every
valid Perl distribution, like the one on your system.
See also http://language.perl.com/newdocs/pod/perlfaq6.html
if your negligent system adminstrator has been remiss in his duties.)
How do I match a pattern that is supplied by the user?
Well, if it's really a pattern, then just use
chomp($pattern = <STDIN>);
if ($line =~ /$pattern/) { }
Or, since you have no guarantee that your user entered a valid regular
expression, trap the exception this way:
if (eval { $line =~ /$pattern/ }) { }
But if all you really want to search for a string, not a pattern, then
you should either use the index() function, which is made for string
searching, or if you can't be disabused of using a pattern match on a
non-pattern, then be sure to use `\Q'...`\E', documented in the perlre
manpage.
$pattern = <STDIN>;
open (FILE, $input) or die "Couldn't open input $input: $!; aborting";
while (<FILE>) {
print if /\Q$pattern\E/;
}
close FILE;

It has nothing to do with Perl. I think it is a browser bug peculiar to
Micro$hit Internet Explorer, because the same code doesn't produce the
garbage on Netscape Navigator.

Hi there,
I'm hoping someone can help. I maintain a web site cataloging CDs with each
CD having a seperate page. I'm looking for a script that will let users add
comments about a cd and have them added to that page underneath the album
information I have provided. What I am looking for is basically a system
just like Amazon.com uses in allowing users to review books and music and
having these reviews appear under the product information. I've searched the
internet for this type of thing but have come up empty.
Please e-mail me directly with your reply,
Thanks, Trent

I am trying to retrieve articles from the APS journal Physical Review

webpage saying my browser needs to accept cookies, rather than the

there any other route to this?
Here is an example URL that I'm trying to fetch; it points to a pdf

When I do so I get the message attached to the end of the post.

<B>How does this system use cookies?</B>
<P>
In this system, cookies are used in the access control software (login,
logoff) to enforce the time-out mechanism (no activity for 15 minutes and
a session is automatically terminated) and in the
Article Collection function (a cookie
is what allows your collection to remain populated with articles
you have added to it as long as you update the collection at least
once every 30 days).
<p>
<b>What are cookies exactly?</b>
<p>
Cookies are a general mechanism which server-side
connections (such as CGI
scripts) can use to both store and retrieve information
on the client side of the
connection. The addition of a simple, persistent,
client-side state significantly
extends the capabilities of Web-based client/server applications.
Cookies can be viewed as a mechanism by which each browser
keeps their own preferences.
Web browsers set aside a small amount of space on your hard drive to keep
these preferences; then, every time you visit a web site your browser checks to
see if you have any predefined preferences (cookies) for that
server. If you do, it
sends the cookie to the server along with the request for a web page.
The server, in turn, may transmit more cookie information back to
the client.
A browser will not give up its cookie data to any server except the one
that set it. The data stored in a cookie is
typically something like
a record of pages traversed or specific keys
created by client-server interaction that indicate a user
has a subscription to a particular online resource (URL).

Map your script to PERL.EXE rather than the ISAPI PERL.DLL. This will give
you the environment variables. However, I doubt you will get the REQUEST_URI
variable since it is unsupported in IIS, HTTP_REFERER may or may not contain
a useful value for your case - I have not tried using a script to trap 404
errors on IIS.

4. if your text editor allows you to select the block of text and
perform a regex based substitution on just that block, then you
could set up a macro that allows you to insert/remove leading #'s
with just a few key-presses.

"pound" sign? The pound sign looks like a wobbly "L" with a hyphen
through it. This thingy is not a pound sign.
Granted, on some older systems (printers), both of these characters used
the same Ascii code, so you could switch between them. But that still is
not a reason to call this a pound sign. Yuck.
But what is it?

I dont think that this is possible but most people will use the RCS token
$Revision:$ or $Id:$ to achieve this sort of thing.
However RCS is nothing to do with Perl so I couldnt possibly comment further.

Because the loop is finished, and the iterators are now undefined. It
didn't find anything, maxed out all three loops, and finished. Initialize
a "found" flag to 0 before the loop starts, set it to "1" when you find
something, and set your results to variables other than the loop
iterators.

What does LogError do besides log the error? If there is an error with
the file, CONFIGFH will be undefined, and you will get your negative
response from tell. Does LogError die, or cause the process to stop?

Perl will tell you exactly where the error is. What is the message you
get when you try to run the script?
Are you using -w?
Are you using "use diagnostics"?
Are you using strict?
These will all help you to nail syntax errors, and many other kinds of
errors too.

I can't find your syntax error, so I'll nitpick on other stuff.
All I gotta say is: "try using 'here' strings":
print <<"EOHTML" unless exists $timesleft{$Account_Number};
<html><head><title>Wrong USER ID</title></head>
<body><h1>Incorrect Information</h1><br>
I'm sorry, but it would appear that you've made an error
filling out the $Account_Number field correctly. Please click
back and try again.

^ ^
no need for "" unless there are white space chars in the here token
(other reasons too). the default behavior of here strings is "".
if you wanted '' or `` semantics then quoting is needed.

It has to be something like this, which seems inefficient:
foreach (sort { $sort->() } keys %hash)
or, equivalently:
foreach (sort { &$sort } keys %hash)
or, equivalently:
sub sortsub { &$sort }
foreach (sort sortsub keys %hash)
This was discussed extensively last October, in a thread starting at:
<URL:http://x15.dejanews.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=399722158>
IIRC, a request was made to support direct access to the sort sub via a
subroutine reference (as you desire), but I don't know what (if
anything) has happened since.

But yours is I think a bit inefficient. You don't need to iterate through the
keys of a hash just to delete all the entries, and you CERTAINLY don't need to
sort them.

No it's not. But assigning undef to a hash is not undef'ing it. And it
gives a warning: "Odd number of elements in hash list", which gives a
clue to what the code actually does.
Two alternatives:
undef %h;
or
%h = ();

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.
