Greg,
I am curious about the jobs you posted. I meet all of the
qualifications, you can view my (slightly outdated) resume at the link
in my signature. It is outdated because I am working at MasterCard
now...
I have also written several articles for WebReview and Perl.com.
What hourly rate are you looking to pay for these jobs and how much work
is there going to be? My normal rate is $100/hr but if there will be
work on a continuing basis, we may be able to work out a lower rate.
Please contact me if interested.

I dont know why you are shocked at this behaviour as a quick examination
of the section:
Quote and Quote-like Operators
in the perlop manpage would have shown you that the backticks interpolate
variables the same as double quotes (unless you use qx''). Your $3 is
thus being interpolated as (probably) an empty string before the line
is executed. You should either use qx'' instead of the backticks or
escape the $3 thus: \$3 in order that Perl wont try to interpolate it.
Next time you are surprised by the behaviour of some Perl code you will
almost certainly be rewarded by an examination of the documentation
before you post here.
Of course if all you are trying to is print the highest UID between
49000 and 49099 then this is probably not how you want to be doing it
anyhow:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $passwd = '/etc/passwd';
my $range_min = 500;
my $range_max = 599;
my $max_uid = 0;
open(PASSWD,$passwd) || die "cant open $passwd - $!\n";
while(<PASSWD>)
{
my @pass = split /:/;
$max_uid = $pass[2] if ( $pass[2] >= $range_min &&
$pass[2] <= $range_max &&
$pass[2] > $max_uid );
}
close PASSWD;
print $max_uid;
So much nicer than spawning a whole bunch of external programs really.

Subject: CGI for Online Credit Cards / Local Testing?
Message-Id: <37078ec4@news1.jps.net>
I've become responsible for getting our website to work with authorize.net.
Rather than have a shopping card we want to set up a simple single page with
the few items we offer. Once the user makes his/her choices they are sent to
a *review* page to confirm their order. If the review is okay, they are sent
on to the Authorize.net system.
My questions:
1. I've written a script to get from order form to review, with totals, but
how do I next go to payment system with required fields? Does the cgi
program I wrote to create the review page also make the review page into a
form itself? (I'm asking because I've tried this and keep getting server
errors.)
2. How do pros test? I keep editing, uploading, changing priveleges,
testing, editing, etc. Is there a better way? Is there a way to test the
scripts locally on a Mac for those times when I'm not online?
Thanks much!

Er yes but the warning is not cause by the incrementing of the $variable
it is caused by you trying to print the previously unitialized $test[81]{27}
if you dont print it you wont get the error or alternatively you can
explicit inintialize it to 0 however the incrementing just does the right
thing to undefined scalars anyhow.

You may want to take a look at comp.object, or another OO-related group.
Be forewarned that mapping some OO concepts on to perl requires a fairly good
understanding of references (see: perldoc perlref), and maybe a leap of faith.

Use CGI.pm to parse your form data, and a Perl module to handle the mailing, so your script will run on any platform.
Look at <http://alma.ch/perl/mail.htm> for a description of Mail::Sendmail and for links to other modules like Net::SMTP and Mail::Sender.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to control program execution with shell commands, such as
jobs, stop, and bg. So far I couldn't get it to work with Perl.
What I'm trying to do is
1) run my programs in background which are written in C
2) run a Perl script to control each program's execution.
Sometimes I need to stop a program and run it again after a
while.
I use tcsh for my linux box. Any help wiil be appreciated.

Perl doesnt have an '#include tag' nor an '#exec tag' I think you are asking

Subject: Oracle DBD work-around
Message-Id: <37071EF5.1805@verio.net>
Does anyone have a better way to do this ...
For the Oracle driver, the 'fetchrow_hashref' method returns
table column names in UPPERCASE. Is there a way to return the
column names in lowercase?
Currently, to convert the column names from UPPER to lowercase,
I do the following ...
---
$hash_ref = $sth->fetchrow_hashref;
my ( $lc_key, $uc_key );
foreach $uc_key ( keys( %$hash_ref ) )
{
$lc_key = lc( $uc_key );
$hash_ref->{$lc_key} = $hash_ref->{$uc_key};
delete $hash_ref->{$uc_key};
}
---
Yuck. I assign the hash values to the lowercase key
names and then delete the uppercase key values. There's
got to be a better way to do this.
If anything, is there a simple and elegant one-liner that'll
convert hash keys from upper to lowercase?
Thanks,

Subject: Re: Perl search script
Message-Id: <7e70p3$i1o$1@mtinsc01.worldnet.att.net>
Using the File::Find module, all of the chdir's are handled for you. Here
is a snippet of a script I use that may show you an example of how it works:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use File::Find;
print "Please enter a directory: ";
chomp($dir = <STDIN>);
# test if the directory exists
opendir(DIR, "$dir") || die "Invalid path? Please verify.: $!";
# use the find function from File::Find, which starts
# from the directory entered and executes (in this case)
# the search subroutine on each file in the tree
find(\&search, $dir);
sub search {
# print the name of the file - simple, but you get the idea
# File::Find puts the name of the file into $_ - read the
# docs for a complete list of what it does
print "$_\n";
}
print "Done!\n";
# END SCRIPT
Anyway, hope this helps. You can perform, in your subroutine, a validation
routine to "weed out" the files you dont't want. For instance, use index()
to check for various file extensions to include/exculde, or regular
expressions on $_ or $File::Find::name (which contains the name as well as
the path) for more complex testing mechanisms.

support Perl? I've created a perl cgi and placed it in the CGI-BIN folder.
It works from the Dos command when I run it but I get the good ol' 500
Server Error when run from IE4. Anyone Please.

Hi-
I've been just trying to alter pre-made perl scripts to refernece files
in my page etc, but it seems as soon as I open them up with a text
editor and resave them with the same name (blah.pl, etc.) I get a
'Premature end of script headers' error from my webpage using them.
I've just been using notepad to edit them - should I be using another
text editor or am I just doing somehing really stupid?
Thanks...

What's going on is that Notepad is converting the Line breaks to PC
line breaks..
I would suggest maybe UUEdit to edit your perl scripts, or you can use
WordPad..
The reson I suggested UUEdit cause it will color code your text for
Perl Script, and HTML, also it understands Unix Line breaks..
I Set all my programs for Web Development on my Mac, and PC to default
to Unix line breaks..
Have fun.. ;-)

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.
