I agree that recursion is important and udeful, but I'd like to point
out that nowhere in the C standards document does it specify that
qsort() be an implementation of the Quicksort algorithm.

Subject: Help me with a simple cgi/perl script
Message-Id: <7fv8qc$dgs$3@news3.Belgium.EU.net>
Hi everybody,
I'm new to cgi, but want a script on my webpage. I've looked around on the
web but couldn't find a script that does everything I want... I know most of
you will say, go out and buy a good book 'bout cgi and perl, but I only need
1 simple script on my page and I'm not buying a book for that...
Ok, here's the problem (I'll simplify it):
2 drop-down menus, one where you can choose "speed range" and the other
"price range". After clicking Submit a script should return all matching
cars. The script searches through a text file all cars that are in the
selected price range and speed range.
The text file should like this (I think), column 1 is the car name, column 2
the speed and column 3 the price:
Ferrari:300:200000
Mercedes:250:80000
Ford:200:30000
...
How to do this in a CGI script?
Please help me finnishing this simple script so I can make my webpage
interactive...
Thanks in advance,
SatCP

Subject: MacPerl to AS (well, vice versa)
Message-Id: <cwstern-2504992100220001@sparrow.riken.go.jp>
Hi there. This is not a pure perl question, but rather a
how-can-I-use-perl-here question.
I'm trying to get MacPerl working with BBEdit's include directive. When
you update a BBEdit file, you can have it call and pass variables to an
OSA script, and then write the reply into the document. As it doesn't
seem to want to use MacPerl scripts directly, I wrote a simple Applescript
to act as a gateway, calling Do Script on MacPerl and taking the
MacPerl::Reply.
The problem is passing the variables along. Do Script doesn't appear to
permit any ARGV, and since Do Script has to execute fully before the
script proceeds, I can't additionally call Send Data to pass them along as
standard input. There are a number of unsatisfactory ways around this,
and at the moment I'm writing a temp file to hold them. However, I would
be much happier with a more direct and higher-performance solution. Is
there an elegant solution that doesn't involve directly monkeying with
Apple Events? So far, I've considered using the Clipboard, though that
still seems rather kludgey (and I can't find a command to directly access
the clipboard using AS). Another odd idea I had was having the first AS
call a second, which would provide the standard input to the perl script
via Send Data while the first waited for its reply, but this again is just
odd, and I'm not certain the synchronization (performance) would be
particularly good.
Any help appreciated.

Subject: Overriding a Module?
Message-Id: <OP#P#eyj#GA.363@nih2naad.prod2.compuserve.com>
Hi there,
I'm trying to get CSV files to work on my web server. I have them working
perfectly fine on my personal computer. However, my web server didn't have
all of the correct modules installed.
So, I went and installed the three module that are required in my home
directory. The installation went fine. Now I find out that the version of
DBI which is installed on the web server is too old.
So, I went and installed the DBI module on my home directory. The problem
I'm having now is that the script will always use the old version of DBI
instead of my new one which I installed. Is there anyway to override the
old version of DBI, so the script will use my version instead?
Thanks,
Mike

:To be just a bit persnickety - it's UNIX not Unix.
Haven't you ever read what Dennis said about this?
Some people are confused over whether this word is
appropriately `UNIX' or `Unix'; both forms are common, and used
interchangeably. Dennis Ritchie says that the `UNIX' spelling
originally happened in CACM's 1974 paper "The UNIX Time-Sharing
System" because "we had a new typesetter and {troff} had just been
invented and we were intoxicated by being able to produce small
caps." Later, dmr tried to get the spelling changed to `Unix'
in a couple of Bell Labs papers, on the grounds that the word
is not acronymic. He failed, and eventually (his words) "wimped
out" on the issue. So, while the trademark today is `UNIX', both
capitalizations are grounded in ancient usage; the Jargon File uses
`Unix' in deference to dmr's wishes.
So, spelling it "UNIX" is a mistake, in that 1) it is not an acronym
and 2) is not what dmr wishes used.

If you'll just have to do it with Perl, you can use something like
this:
`/usr/bin/lynx -source http://www.foo.bar/this/is/the/url`
But you must of course have Lynx installed on your system.

I too am trying to get Perl to communicate with sockets. When I read the
supplied documentation I keep running into descriptions of various flags
and
constants - nowhere do I find what these constants mean, what the
alternatives
are, what the defaults are, etc. - Could some kind soul direct me to
REAL
documentation....
Thanks.. WBB

Hi:
I am looking to write a program, that will connect to a secure web site,
supply the login and password, drill down couple of pages, and download
a particular page, that will let me know if a particular program has
completed or not.
I looked at lwp-request, lwp-mirror etc, but was not able to proceed
further.
Any pointers, will be appreciated.
TIA
Raj

Well, after 6 months, here's the answer to the quiz: what do we do about
comp.lang.perl.moderated. Answer: nothing.

]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.
