that well with 'require' and 'use' (and there are some other restrictions
as well), but it'll work on simpler scripts.

Just to clarify Perl itself does not have an off-line mode - it is the module

You probably already found the answer, but if you didn't ... which version
of IIS are you using? You need to set up IIS so that the CGI directories
have read/execute permission first. Next, you have to set up the registry
(IIS 2.0) so that .pl extensions are perl scripts.... do a serch for
W3SVC, the web service, then look at the script parameters. There should
already be one or two. Add another DWORD ".pl" with the following
parameters: "c:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s" This is assuming perl is on
drive C:. If you are using IIS 4.0, you can use the GUI to set up
extension associations for CGI scripts, so you are doing essentially the
same thing, different place, though.
Hope this helps get you pointed in the correct direction.

Doris is curious as to what form this database might take - after all the
answer to the question does depend rather on whether this is some flat text
file or a heavyweight RDBMS accessed though DBI wouldnt you say ?
Generally speaking what you want is to create a separate lookup table
with the code conversions.

Jim, usually this is done with a KIX script:
IF InGroup("groupname")
shell ("perlscript.pl")
END IF
Check the WIN32::NetAdmin Module as well. There is a function there called
"IsMember" where you supply the servername and groupname. I believe there are
two functions, for both global and local groups. I usually always get the PDC
at the beginning of all my scripts for work and plug that into everything. The
PDCs change, so this is not a static assignment, which would be nice. If you
lock down your scripts and force a machine name, you can always use sed or
another perl script to go in and modify all of the PDC arguments as well.
Hope this helps.

Message-Id: <924525588.22136.1.nnrp-07.9e98e5bc@news.demon.co.uk>
awk provides a simple mechanism for building and traversing
multi-dimensional associative arrays. I would like to do the same in perl.
Apologies in advance, but I cannot decipher the FAQs discussions on hashes
of lists, hashes of hashes, etc., which I suspect may answer my question.
In awk, I know that each index 'k' to the 2-D array 'peopleArr[name, town]'
is stored internally as the concatenation of:
name SUBSEP town
where SUBSEP is a built-in variable defaulting to "\034", a value unlikely
to appear in normal text.
So looping over the array is as simple as:
for (k in peopleArr) {
split(k, x, SUBSEP)
name = x[1]
town = x[2]
...
A straightforward extension to this is a 3-D array. Suppose it is indexed
instead as 'peopleArr[name, town, job]', then use:
for (k in peopleArr) {
split(k, x, SUBSEP)
name = x[1]
town = x[2]
job = x[3]
...
If some kind person could spell out how to rewrite this in perl, it would
help me expand my horizons beyond awk. Thanks for constructive responses.
Regards,
Clyde

When you build the form the user is about to submit, why nto give it a

that that unique ID has ana ction against it and the appropriate action can

I think this is an NT services thing - if IIS is running under a service with
its own account then anyone logged into the machine won't be able to see
applications started by it. The applications should start up and run etc but
the user won't be able to see them.
If a service is runing under thew localsystem account it can have have an
'interact with desktop' attribute, set from the services applet and hey
presto - those applications should appear on screen.
If you're not running IIS from a service then I've run out of ideas.

There was an article about 'scriptlets' in issue #12 of The Perl Journal
by Ken Bandes. The article is quite enlightening about one way of using
Visual Basic to create a GUI for Perl (or is that using Perl to give
Visual Basic some utility). You can get back issues of TPJ via:

My guess is in your case, you shell out your shekels and pay the Gods

]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

]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.
