The provider is any one of the following:
SQLOLEDB for native MS SQL server support
Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51
MSDAORA for Oracle
MSDASQL for SQL server support through ODBC
etc.
Apparently, there are many others. Try searching
http://www.microsoft.com/data/.
The initial catalog is the DB name as you suggested. I've had to learn much
of this
so that I could use Active Server Pages last summer. You might checkt out
several
WROX books on the subject:
ASP 2.0, Programmer's Reference, ADO 2.0, Programmer's Reference or
Professional
Active Server Pages. The first book suggests DSNless connections???

Subject: beginner problem with a test condition
Message-Id: <7c69i3$9v$1@nnrp1.dejanews.com>
Hello all,
Can someone help me out with this bit of code? This is what I have setup:
if ( $prevmedrec == ($medrec | 1) ) {
if ( $prevmedrec == 1 ) {
#do some processing
}
else {
#do some processing
}
}
The variables $medrec and $prevmedrec may contain a combination of letters
and numbers. What I want to happen with the outside "if/then" is if
$prevmedrec is equal to $medrec or the character "1", then continue. For
some reason, this isn't currently happening. I've been using the debugger
and looking at the value of the variables and they are what they should be,
but the condition isn't working properly. Also, with the nested "if/then"
condition, I can't get the condition to _not_ be satisfied and go on to the
"else" portion. I will look and $prevmedrec in the debugger and it will be
equal to something like "JO001260BEH03" which is obviously not equal to "1".
But it still goes into the "if/then" statement. Any help or suggestions
would be greatly appreciated!! BTW, is there any way in the debugger to see
what a condition evaluates to? Thanks a lot!

The Oracle SQL*Net libraries are still using ABI style sockets. You
need to build the DBD::Oracle shared library with
-Wc,+abi-socket
It is okay to build the perl run-time engine with BSD sockets and the
Oracle DBD module with ABI sockets. The two socket support libraries
have separate name spaces.

This is light work with the right data structure. Create a Hash of
Lists (really, a hash of references to lists). See perldsc.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my %hash;
while (<>) {
my ($name, $val) = split /\s/;
push @{$hash{$name}}, $val;
}
foreach (keys %hash) {
print join("\t", $_, @{$hash{$_}}), "\n";
}
__END__
You can add an alphabetical sort of the names and a numerical sort of
the values, if you wish.

There's no theory like trying.
Since my() undefs the variable, 'my $buffer .= $_ while <File>;' does not work.

Subject: FAQ 3.24: How can I get C<#!perl> to work on [MS-DOS,NT,...]?
Message-Id: <36e6be10@csnews>
(This excerpt from perlfaq3 - Programming Tools
($Revision: 1.33 $, $Date: 1998/12/29 20:12:12 $)
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/perlfaq3.html
if your negligent system adminstrator has been remiss in his duties.)
How can I get `#!perl' to work on [MS-DOS,NT,...]?
For OS/2 just use
extproc perl -S -your_switches
as the first line in `*.cmd' file (`-S' due to a bug in cmd.exe's
`extproc' handling). For DOS one should first invent a
corresponding batch file, and codify it in `ALTERNATIVE_SHEBANG'
(see the INSTALL file in the source distribution for more
information).
The Win95/NT installation, when using the ActiveState port of
Perl, will modify the Registry to associate the `.pl' extension
with the perl interpreter. If you install another port (Gurusamy
Sarathy's is the recommended Win95/NT port), or (eventually)
build your own Win95/NT Perl using a Windows port of gcc (e.g.,
with cygwin32 or mingw32), then you'll have to modify the
Registry yourself. In addition to associating `.pl' with the
interpreter, NT people can use: `SET PATHEXT=%PATHEXT%;.PL' to
let them run the program `install-linux.pl' merely by typing
`install-linux'.
Macintosh perl scripts will have the appropriate Creator and
Type, so that double-clicking them will invoke the perl
application.
*IMPORTANT!*: Whatever you do, PLEASE don't get frustrated, and
just throw the perl interpreter into your cgi-bin directory, in
order to get your scripts working for a web server. This is an
EXTREMELY big security risk. Take the time to figure out how to
do it correctly.

Why not generate all the files once using a slight modification of the
script (output to a file instead of standard out) and then just copy all
the files to the CD. The HTML files aren't that large, so you don't have
to worry about fitting them... Make sure you name the files to something
good, and generate indexfiles to reach them.
I think this could be one simple solution to all of it. (If you need the
user to be able to reach the files from forms, use JavaScript instead)

(F) It makes no sense to test the current stat buffer
for symbolic linkhood if the last stat that wrote to the
stat buffer already went past the symlink to get to the
real file. Use an actual filename instead.
That explains it.

Subject: Location: headers
Message-Id: <36E6ABFF.3FF6C00E@westat.com>
I've got a simple perl script that I use as a navigation aide on a web
site. Each page has a drop down box (html form) on it. When the user
selects any item from that list, the perl script takes the line they
were on, puts the url to change to in a variable and issues:
print ("Location: $GotoUrl\n\n");
It works great and everyone likes it. The problem is that now, one
group here (this is on the company intranet) has made their section use
frames. We did require they include our banner with has this navigation
piece in it but the problem is that when the Location: does its thing,
the new document is loaded in just that header frame.
What I need is some way to tell it target="_top" but the Location:
header doesn't seem to be the way. Any ideas? We may end up having to
tell that one group they have to lose the frames.

It has references to documents that tell you how to work with frames in HTML. I

notice the title of that section is "Working with Frames", not "Building
Frames". there's a reason for that. your problem is that you need to
know how to work with frames.
if you had read those documents, you would have found your answer - that's
why i mentioned them. if you refuse to help yourself, there's not much
we can do for you.
note, also, that this question is also in the CGI FAQ, also referenced

Subject: Ok, this is a weird phenomenon...
Message-Id: <7c6ea6$psr$1@engnews2.Eng.Sun.COM>
Here's are two test programs (I added line numbers in front, ignore them):
Program A:
1 #!/usr/bin/perl
2
3 use File::Basename;
4 use FileHandle;
5 use Getopt::Std;
6
7 &first_step;
8 &second_step;
9
10 sub first_step;
11 {
12 printf("You're in first_step routine.\n");
13 }
14
15 sub second_step
16 {
17 printf("You're in second_step routine.\n");
18 }
=====================
Program B:
1 #!/usr/bin/perl
2
3 use File::Basename;
4 use FileHandle;
5 use Getopt::Std;
6
7 &second_step;
8 &first_step;
9
10 sub first_step;
11 {
12 printf("You're in first_step routine.\n");
13 }
14
15 sub second_step
16 {
17 printf("You're in second_step routine.\n");
18 }
========================
The only difference being that I switched the order on calling the sub-routines.
What's the output?
For Program A, I get:
Undefined subroutine &main::first_step called at weird line 7.
For Program B, I get:
You're in second_step routine.
Undefined subroutine &main::first_step called at weird line 8.
Why is this happening? What is wrong with the "first_step" subroutine? This
is definitely weird.

Sorry for the stupid post. I added a semi-colon with the subroutine
first step: Line 10 of either program had "sub first_step;", so screwed
it up.

Dear Grey.Cloud,
Bill Guindon and others helped me with an identical situation. Not knowing
which Perl(NT) you have I'll answer with ActiveState Perl in mind. Make sure
you have installed the DBI modules. You can use PPM (an executable on NT) to
view which modules you have installed. If DBI is not installed start ppm and
execute:
install DBI
and follow directions. If that was successful, and assuming you haven't
exited ppm, execute the following:
install /location http://www.mysql.com/Contrib/ppd DBD-mysql
This is how I did it and it's working like a charm!
Good Luck

Message-Id: <921090706.8071.0.nnrp-11.c2de34c1@news.demon.co.uk>
This is really getting me down.
I want to run a Perl script on my browser but can't do it. I'm using Windows
98, IE5 and Personal Web server. I don't want to use any other scripting
language. What seems to happen is that when I run the simple code below, it
just flashes up the HTML part onto MSDos for a second then disappears. And
nothing is created in my browser. Am I forgetting something really obvious?
I've checked the position of Perl in my directory ( C://Perl5/bin ) so
surely #!/usr/local/Perl5/bin is correct....
When I use Perl in Dos, it works fine. Any recommendations would be greatly
appreciated.
#!/usr/local/Perl5/bin
# A simple Perl script that displays
# "Hello!" in an HTML page
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
#This is the bit that flashes up in Dos:
print "<html>\n";
print "<head>";
print "<title>Hello from ", $ENV{SERVER_NAME}, "</title>\n";
print "</head>\n";
print "<body>\n";
print "<h3>Hello from ", $ENV{SERVER_NAME}, "</h3>\n";

Subject: Perl5 SOCKSifiied?
Message-Id: <7c6gjo$784$1@nnrp1.dejanews.com>
I have successfully compiled Perl version 5.005_02 against the SOCKS v4
library but I have a problem. When I do a 'make check' the io_udp.t and
io_sock.t fail. I expect the io_udp.t to fail since SOCKS v4 doesn't
support UDP, but I can't figure out what is going wrong with the io_sock.t
test. When I use the truss program to see what is happening with system
calls I get the following:
<SNIP>
getmsg(3, 0xEFFFE1D0, 0x000CF248, 0xEFFFE1FC) = 0
connect(4, 0x000BD928, 16) = 0
poll(0xEFFFC6A8, 1, 15000) = 1
write(4, "0402\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
poll(0xEFFFC6B0, 1, 15000) = 1
write(4, " d o k o a\0", 6) = 6
poll(0xEFFFC6A8, 1, 15000) (sleeping...)
poll(0xEFFFC6A8, 1, 15000) = 0
poll(0xEFFFC6A8, 1, 15000) (sleeping...)
poll(0xEFFFC6A8, 1, 15000) = 0
poll(0xEFFFC6A8, 1, 15000) (sleeping...)
The polling and sleeping continue until I send a ^C via the
keyboard.
Interestingly, the socket.t test successfully uses the SOCKS server and
and passes.
I've looked for information in the FAQ about compiling against SOCKS and can't
find it. Any help or pointers to FAQs / info is appreciated.
Thanks,
Anthony

Do you mean like the wait() function? That's the typical way a process
handles the death of its child.
Another way is to catch the SIGCLD (18) signal using the %SIG array.
Something like this:
sub child_died {
print "the child process died, clean up!";
close(SOMETHING);
}
...
$SIG{'CLD'} = 'child_died'; # set up signal handler forchild exit
...
The %SIG is one of PERL's special variables.
There might be another way in PERL 5 with the POSIX module.
Hope this helps.

Then this section of perlop will be of some help:
You may explicitly show which type of operation you intend by
using "" or 0+, as in the examples below.
$foo = 150 | 105 ; # yields 255 (0x96 | 0x69 is 0xFF)
$foo = '150' | 105 ; # yields 255
$foo = 150 | '105'; # yields 255
$foo = '150' | '105'; # yields string '155' (under ASCII)
$baz = 0+$foo & 0+$bar; # both ops explicitly numeric
$biz = "$foo" ^ "$bar"; # both ops explicitly stringy
> [snip several dozen lines of code]
You don't need to post that much code; we get the picture!

New PERL Win32 user here so I appologize in advance if this is common
knowledge. I found nothing doing the traditional searchs so...
PROBLEM
I want to use PERL to extract a list of all of the network printer
queues in my NT domain.
BY HAND EQUIVALENT
I can SEE such a list by using the NT GUI as follows:
Start | Settings | Printers | Add Printer | Network printer server |
Microsoft Windows Network | "Domain"
This will populate a dialog box with a list of all of the printer queues
available in the selected "Domain".
EX:
\\NT-MES-15\M510_1_B4_HP4 HP LaserJet 4/4M Plus PS 600
\\NT-MES-15B\m520_1_b4_hp5si HP LaserJet 5Si/5Si MX PS
\\NT-MES-24\M531_1_B4_HP5si_#2 HP LaserJet 5Si/5Si MX PS
.
.
.
I have explored the Win32::NetResource:GetSharedResources call but it
keeps running me out of virtual memory. I don't know if I am just
blowing the call or what. Note: I am connected to a HUGE intranet that
has hundreds of other domains visible.
Any suggestions on the direction I need to go? Any examples on how to
use the GetShareResources call correctly?
Thanks for any kick in the right direction.

Make /usr/bin/perl the wrapper and place the real perl someplace
like perl.real.
To keep people from calling perl.real directly you'll need the fake
/usr/bin/perl to be setuid or setgid (probably better as it keeps
the UID the same as the user) of the owner of perl.real (which does
not have to be root of course).
Of course, this is all pretty weak "security" anyway as anyone
with write access to the system can place there own copy of
perl, but that my not be what you're after.

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.
