No it's not. $@ is a normal variable. eval just happens to write error
messages in this variable. But otherwise, it acts like any other variable.

Maybe you should do some debugging. You know, with print statements and such.

Why is it, that on WinNT a @result=`dir` in perl 5.004 produces
different output from the one given by perl 5.005 ( all versions so far

I can't answer the question but I suggest you use opendir, readdir and
closedir. That way you will always get the desired results. Solved a lot of my
headaches.

I think there might be something else you haven't tried; the FAQ.
perldoc perlfaq5
How can I make a filehandle local to a subroutine? How do I pass
filehandles between subroutines? How do I make an array of
filehandles?

Here's one solution.
s/(\S+)\s*(and|or|$)/$spec_word=$1 $2/g;
But that provides no error checking. You really want to parse the
input, and not assume that it's well formed.

I have a bit of a conundrum. Here's my problem. I am interfacing a Sybase
database with Perl. I have paper titles (for example "test") that I have the
user pick out of a select box. My problem is the data I was given has titles
that are identical except for a space, for example " Internet Protocol"
and "Internet Protocol" When I pull the titles out of my form using the $in
operator, it apparently chops out the space. I need that space however
otherwise I can't tell which paper it is. Any suggestions?

Matthew,
Place this on the very last line of your include file:
1;
That is the NUMBER 1, followed by a semi-colon.
Perl needs it to return a true value, this does just that!
Good luck!

Some guy was aking this earleir in the week. You can say:
return 1;
or even:
1; (I think)
at the very end of the include file and it should work fine.

perldoc -f require
The code you are calling must return a TRUE value. You can do this by placing
"1;" on the last line of the included code.

The big advantage here docs have over quoted strings is that you can
actually finish your statement before starting the large string.
That makes debugging, and understanding the code, a lot easier.
Compare:
$var = $obj1 -> method1 (<<EOT1, 17) + $obj2 -> method2 (<<EOT2, 1);
Some large text.
With many lines.
And even more lines.
EOT1
And even more large text.
And lines.

Indeed.
More.

Much more text!
EOT2
And:
$var = $obj1 -> method1 (q /Some large text.

/, 17) + $obj2 -> method2 (q /And even more large text.

I find the first one easier.

Unless I'm really missing something, plain text files means just that -
plain, ascii text. Without more information on exactly what you're trying
to do (i.e., you mention printing in your header but use an ambiguous
reference to printing in the body), I can't be of much help. Do you want to
actually print the document to a printer, or just are wondering if you can
change the font that the text file gets output in? If it is the later, then
no, I don't think so, as Perl will write it in plain ASCII text. And what
do you mean by "the font gets really big..."? As in, going from 9 pt. to 12
pt. to 14 pt., etc.? Please be more specific, and please stop using CUZ...

Perl doesn't know anything about fonts. Fonts is something for a display
engine, like a terminal or a printer. There are a gazillion different
ways to indicate what font you want to use; every program that uses the
concept of "font" has its own way. But Perl doesn't display. Perl outputs.
Learn the language your display engine is using, and have Perl talk that
language.

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
I need a way to design a link that will query say like
<br>.../cgi-bin/forum/forum.pl?preview and post the form at the same time.
I
<br>know all about links only being able to use get method and I know about
<br>sending values with a query but that just does not cut it with text
<br>areas in the form do to the get methods length limits. Now the
normal
<br>post method of a form submit will do the action of
<br>.../cgi-bin/forum/forum.pl?preview and then submit to that url the
form
<br>data directly to stdin of the cgi. I also know of the javascript
function of
<br>submit but that is just a remote control feature, the forms action
would
<br>still have control and would replace my site page with the cgi response
<br>so that will not work. Now there has to be a way of doing
<br>this using javascript or java to mimic this exact process via a true
<br>link so that I can use the link as a perameter in a javascript function
<br>which will load the resulting page sent back by the cgi into a div
tag
<br>layer on my site. This function buffers the page then transfers
it to
<br>said div layer to perform cross browser. The function buffers
using
<br>iframe for IE and a layer in Netscape. This works fine on any
queried
<br>responses from the cgi. I just can't sent text area data in a
standard
<br>query value link. This problem must be solved since dhtml can not be
<br>integrated with cgi due to the natural static nature of cgi responses
<br>wiping out the page they where called from. Now Dan Stienman
has began
<br>attempts at working out this problem but he has only implemented a
cgi
<br>communication example which handles a radio button form. The
ultimate
<br>goal is to do this with all form values especially text fields and
text
<br>areas and combinations of them all in the form. If anyone
is
<br>interested Dan is the true dhtml guru of the net, perhaps the best
kept
<br>secret of the net.
<p>The url to his main page is
<br><A HREF="http://www.dansteinman.com/dynduo/">http://www.dansteinman.com/dynduo/</A>
<p>and the url to the cgi communication is
<br><A HREF="http://www.dansteinman.com/dynduo/cgicomm/cgicomm.html">http://www.dansteinman.com/dynduo/cgicomm/cgicomm.html</A>
<p>Now those who love a cgi challenge take his radio form example and
<br>corresponding perl script and add text fields, text areas, drop down
<br>select menu, and check boxes, and get it to display the data posted
back
<p>to the pages div layer. Will take adapting the javascript function
<br>submitform so javascript and perl talent needed. Dan is busy
working on
<p>IE5 compatibility and I am not having any luck. Thanks in advance

Types? What "type" are you creating?

Subject: Modifying a File
Message-Id: <37059819.B9075A33@asiamake.com>
Please help,
The script below(actually, I learn from Robert Perl Tutorial ) has run
and test perfectly in my own computer (win 95). However, when I upload
the scripts to server, it don't work. But no error appear, just don't
work !
The scripts is:
@ARGV="c:/scripts/out.txt";
$^I=".bk";
while (<>) {
tr/A-Z/a-z/;
print;
}
No back-up file(out.txt.bk) is created. Also no chnage of the out.txt
file.
Please help.
Thank you
Alex

Accessing remote scripts on NT is much like using Telnet on UNIX - for the
most part, the programs "think" you are actually at the "local" terminal.
More to the point, they don't care. When accessing files, I know of no way
for the remote script to think of your local box as its local filesystem
(which is what I think you ideally want). So when you say "c:/path/file" it
thinks, "Alright, what the hell is this guy talking about? I don't have
that file on my system...". If I am wrong, someone please correct me,
though I think this is for the most part accurate.

Please correct if I'm wrong. But I find it really strange that there
is NO Perl user group in Silicon Valley, where the use of Perl is
everywhere and created such enormous wealth, and where I believe
LW lives. Why is that? :-)

I don't believe you. Can you post some code that behaves as you
describe?

Sure, just run them from the DOS prompt.

You can use CGI.pm and print it to th screen,
Install a webserver and configure it for cgi or
Upload it to your ISP and then telnet in and tweak it.

Apparently reading the wrong FAQs. This is one of the most FAQs on the CGI
newsgroup.
Good luck,

If the script works from the command line, but not from the browser, then it
is a server issue. Your question(s) would best be answered in an apache
support group or general servers group.

]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.
