Subject: Accessing Files from another server
Message-Id: <921374020.275538@inv.ihug.co.nz>
Hi,
I have a slight problem. I am wanting to make a little "search engine" which
will search through all the *.html files on my website and return links to
any files which contain a specific string or regex.
Sounds easy? Well thats because it is until I tell you that my "search
engine" script has to reside on another server than the one with all the
html files.
Why is this the case? Well I have access to two webservers one with CGI and
one with out CGI access. I can't use the one with CGI as it already has a
project on it which is no removable (ie people associate it with url) and if
I place the website on the server without CGI I can't use a CGI script to
search it.
The problem I keep comming up against is that to search I use GREP on each
individual file (I know its slow but its a very small website) but GREP
won't accept a file from another server, it wants a local file.
If I place the CGI script on the server with CGI and PERL I can't access the
web pages stored on the other web server.
Is there any way I can get around this?
Thanks,
Christopher Fairbairn.

Actually, $#ppw is the value of the index of the last element in @ppw;
usually the number of elements minus 1.
To get the length of the array, use scalar @ppw.

That would be scalar @{$ppw[0]}.
The last index of that array would be $#{$ppw[0]}.

but how can I pipe a zip file to pkunzip?
My script can work well under dos prompt(console).

To my experience, it just displays the wrong line. For example, given:
while (<>) {
# stuff in here
}
my$foo = 6;
The debugger will show the while, the my$foo = 6 and then the first
line in the loop. Sometimes it jumps to the closing brace and not
the line following it. Again, it is annoying, but it is a
visual only - the right code gets executed in the desired order.

Subject: Direct memory access via Perl?
Message-Id: <9SDG2.2055$U6.60668@typhoon.nycap.rr.com>
Hi,
I am using Perl to write logon scripts for our Win NT environment. It is far
more flexable than any NT scripting language I have access to, but I have
run into a road block. I am using a Perl2exe compiler to run the script on
the NT machines that do not have Perl for Win32 installed.
The serial number of each PC is stored in a specific memory address. I would
like to get that info with one of my scripts. I haven't been able to find
out if Perl can do this. I am currently using:
$runthis="echo d F000:FFB6 \n q \n | debug.exe";
$temp=qx/$runthis/;
then I parse $temp to get the info returned by the system call to debug.
This works, but for some reason, my logon script won't finish. It appears to
run the very last line of code, and everything is successful, but the script
window does not close, as if the Perl program is still running.
Thanks
Jeff

That is because in this case many instructions took the form of one, terse,
equivalent: foreach. That does not detract from my contention that Perl invites
packing instructions together. In fact, it only strengthens my point, in that
Perl itself at times lets a series of already terse instructions go supernova,
and has them implode to one, dense mass the outside world sees as a single
instruction. This one instruction will then, of course, be more readable than
the conglomerate of previous instructions that do the same. But you are
overlooking that Perl, again (or: still,) invites to bind a series of these type
of "imploded" instructions too, so that my notion that Perl invites us to
densify our code still stands.

Powerful, from my Assembly language background, is the art of packing many
complex operations into a terse command, be it a single mnemonic, or a line of
code. So, to me, an instruction like "foreach" is far more powerful than, say,
"for(i=0; i < arraylen; i++)". Why? Because the former, though it effectively
does the same, is much more compact.

That is where I disagree. Perl does encourage terse coding. Of course the Camel
Book never in so many words incites us to densify our code. But it does,
however, present language tools that make for easy grouping: the encouragement
is therefore implicit, in the same manner that you can state that the existence
of shorthand encourages secretaries to use terse writing.

Nope. I neither said Perl is confusing, nor did I make a value-judgement that
it is okay because it is powerful. No, Perl is not okay in spite of being
obfuscate because it is powerful, but because the instruction-density per square
inch is so high, Perl therefore tends to be more terse. It is only less legible
if you do not adjust your reading speed. One is the result of the other: the
denser, terser, the coding (= powerful,) the more it naturally follows that an
unrolled, more descriptive coding makes for easier reading.
Now, my point was, and still is, that you should not only look at Perl, or any
other language, from the "terse and legible" scale, and rank the language solely
on its readability, without realizing that the elevated effort it takes to read
complex instructions is precisely that which makes the instructions so powerful.

Hi. As 1st, I would like to apologize on my bad English: sorry.
2nd, don't kill me if the question is too long, I just wanna make
question clear.
3th - here is my problem:
I'm running small site "Cable Release", it is a photo-zine, and I would
like to put on-line my collection of recipes (for photography
developers, fixer baths and so on). I have that recipes in FileMaker
database and... what now?
My site is running on linux web server with Perl 5.something, so I made
almost 3 weeks search on free cgi sites, but I just couldn't find
anything what will be easy to use (for non-programer like me).
I would like to know if someone can tell me for such cgi application or
if someone can make it? I have just one friend programer, and he told me
that that should be a "pace of cake"... but he is working with c++...
Well here is how my database looks:
name_of_firm_ | name_of_chemistry
chemical1 | xx_gram
chemical2 | xx_gram
chemical3 | xx_gram
chemical4 | xx_gram
chemical5 | xx_gram
chemical6 | xx_gram
chemical7 | xx_gram
chemical8 | xx_gram
water | xxx_ml
kind_of | how_to_use_it...
or:
Fotokemika | FR-4
Metol | 2g
Na sulfit | 72g
Hidrokinon | 9
Na karbonat | 48
KBr | 4
H2O | 1000
positiv | neutral black tone developer, 2-4 min. in 20....
well, all what user needs is few simple searches (name of firm, name of
dev. kind of... including show all). Cgi-app may or may not show blank
fields... if I can get some working... I don't care much for blank
fields. There is no need of on-line editing of dbase, no need for
passwords, nothing... (I found plenty of powerful apps, but r too
complex for me - don't tell me to make one small from big, I'w tried,
and... huh:))
What can I offer for Help? Link back, name on my page... hmm, I'm
spending too much already on that site, and I don't think I can pay
someone 4 that job... And I believe that someone who knows that job can
write that just as I can make 4-5 pages "big" site, or scan few slides ;-)))
oh, one more think - I would like to make that database good looking -
so, will be nice if that can be "pre-layouted" in HTML...
M I asking too much?
Tnx on anything

Create a resolver object and issue a query for an IP address:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::DNS;
use strict;
my $ip = "204.152.184.101";
my $res = Net::DNS::Resolver->new;
my $ans = $res->query($ip) or die "query failed: ", $res->errorstring;
If the query succeeded, you'll have a set of DNS resource records (RRs)
in the answer section of the response packet. The answer section should
look something like this:
;; ANSWER SECTION (1 record)
101.184.152.204.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN PTR www.isc.org.
You can get the name by using the "ptrdname" method on RRs of type "PTR":
foreach my $rr ($ans->answer) {
print $rr->ptrdname, "\n" if $rr->type eq "PTR";
}
If you get a CNAME record instead of a PTR record, you'll have to
issue another query. You'll see this for sites using RFC 2317
classless in-addr.arpa delegations.

This will parse a reference to whatever is returned from &foo(), I believe.
You want:
sub foo { return \"This is a ref\n" }
sub bar { print ${$_[0]} }
&bar ( &foo() );
You can rewrite the last line as:
bar ( foo() ); # Or
bar foo;

I did not make myself clear. I'm talking about using PERL LWP to post a
Hotmail email and not how to use Hotmail.

Here's something I just downloaded from zdnet at
http://hotfiles.zdnet.com/cgi-bin/texis/swlib/hotfiles/info.html?fcode=000MQL&b=
I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it might do the job:
TinyWeb is a simple way to post HTML content. It's a very small server
for use on Windows 95 or NT. Just make three directories, place the
program in the bin directory, and create a shortcut as described in
the short manual. As long as you have IP running and are attached to
the Internet with a known IP address or are on a network (with IP),
then you have an instant Web server. Any browser can view the site.
TinyWeb even works with CGI, if you compile the code into an EXE or
have Perl installed. Source code is included. Reviewed on Apr 13 1998.

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.
