Actually, you don't have to go that far. Since you probably have
ActiveState Perl on your local machine, you can use your browser to
read the same article in your local HTML docs. It's the
ActivePerl FAQ, section 'Web Server Config'. Oddly enough.

Well, the *concept* of recurrence is important, regardless of whether it
can actually be emulated/implemented simply by clever iteration. For
instance, the ansi C qsort routine (which is a Quicksort, which is
recursive), uses iteration, and a home-made stack, instead of recursive
function calls, for optimal efficiency. The concept of recursion,
nevertheless is central to the algorithm.

Wow, what a huge cross-post! I hope the rest of the universe will forgive
me for pointing out that ANSI C qsort may be implemented via Quicksort and
it may not. The standard specifies only that the function shall sort, not
how it shall sort. IIRC it may use recursion, or it may not, and it may use
a stack, it may not. It's more or less up to the implementation, as long as
the interface is correct and the end result is right.

It doesn't make any difference at all which actual hour is the official
time at which the clock is set forward or backward: the point is that
between midnight and 1AM, if the clock was set ahead *ANY*TIME* in the
previous 24 hrs, then when you go back 24 hrs you'll end up at 11PM
two-days-ago. It doesn't have anything to do with when the clocks were
actually changed, but only that they _were_ changed.

But before you do so, you may want to determine whether
`soundex' is in fact what you think it is. Knuth's
soundex algorithm compresses words into a small space,
and so it does not necessarily distinguish between two
words which you might want to appear separately. For
example, the last names `Knuth' and `Kant' are both mapped
to the soundex code K530 . If Text::Soundex does not do
what you are looking for, you might want to consider the
String::Approx module available at CPAN.
[And yes, Tom, I know you have an answer in perlfaq6 which points
to this module as well. But I thought this was needed, given the
amount of confusion I have seen {mostly in other newsgroups} over
what `soundex' is. Feel free to use, abuse, or s#!tcan this patch.]

Please don't do this. You just asked this same question, under a

Okay, I'm going to take a wild guess and assume you're asking here
because you're writing your program in Perl.
But unless the issue is one of problems with the implementing Perl
code [and I assume it is not, since you didn't show us any code or
ask about that], then it is not an appropriate question for this
newsgroup. It appears to be a `gaming' problem disguised in a
llama`s coat.
Perhaps someone in one of the rec.games.* hierarchy might be able
to tell you want you want to know.

Message-Id: <7ftamj$m9p$1@nnrp1.dejanews.com>
We have a perl script running under Netscape Enterprise 3.5.1 on an RS6000
under AIX 4.2.1. When we access a perl script that calls a C program, the
status code returned from the call is always -1.
Example:
PERL Program:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI;
$query = new CGI;
print $query->content();
print $query->start_html();
$a = system( 'test_c.exe' );
$b = $a/256;
print "A = $a<br>\n";
print "B = $b<br>\n";
print $query->end_html();
C Program:
main() {
exit( 5 );
}
Running test.pl at the shell level on NT and AIX returns
A= 1280, B=5
Netscape fastrack V2.01 on AIX yeilds the same results.
Running Enterprise 3.5.1 on NT yeilds the same.
Under Netscape Enterprise 3.5.1 on AIX I get:
A=-1, B=-0.00369
Anybody have any ideas what's up?

Craig, I think that you are expecting (a.b)+ to match this:
((a.b)+)
where $1 would hold the matched material from the outer parens, and
$2 would match what is in the inner parens.
Do you see the difference? The parens around (a.b) capture something..
but that something can only be three characters long [or nothing, if
there were no match].
So it's not an inconsistency in the syntax. But it may be different
from what you are used to. Still, any good regex package should only
match three characters there. That's all your parens surround at
any time.
And I seriously wonder if Netscape's pattern-matching should be held
up as any sort of standard for programming languages to aspire to. :-)

Are you sure you can login as root over a TTY on your system?
(Normally you can't by default.)
Refer to the /etc/securetty file to be sure.

"module" is Perl's name for what other languages usually
call "libraries".
Read all about it in the perlmod.pod file that is already
installed on your hard disk somewhere.

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.
