I need to break a file on a keyword and create seperate files with the
new file names. For example a text file would contain:
BREAK chapter1
some text
BREAK chapter2
some text
I need to create two files named chapter1 and 2 with the appropriate
data. Any suggestions for the best way to do this.
Thanks

Subject: Getting Access to Perl - how?
Message-Id: <37390487.74B98912@rochester.rr.com>
I'm very curious to learn from the people here how you are able to use
perl for your cgi scripts. Many ISPs that I'm trying to look at don't
support CGI scripting, or don't allow to do your own. Actually, there's
one I know that lets you customize their existing scripts (changing a
NAME variable or so). But I was really hoping for a good internet
resource at a modest/free price so that I can start learning and
practicing using perl to make my own simple scripts.
On a related note, have you found many ISPs accepting of you using a
free script off the web, such as from the big Matt's script archive?
I'm generally trying to practice using perl for the sake of having
interactive web forms (the form/post method). I was also told that
javascript may be able to accomplish the same thing. Sorry if that's a
bad word in this newsgroup. Just trying to get an overall perspective.
Right now I have cable modem service with 5 mb web space and no script
support. ($40/mth) Thinking right now to additionally purchase a web
hosting service w/ 20MB space and cgi support although it's picking from
their scripts and customizing them (for $8.25/mth).
All replies (esp. e-mail) welcome, thanks!

Perl... not perl. Lesson 1. :)

You can develop scripts and learn Perl on your own machine! While you may
not immediately be able to develop CGI type scripts locally (because
you'll need a web server), you can begin to learn the language which is
the most important part. Check out FAQ 1 & 2 for a walkthrough of many of
the questions you may have at this time...

http://language.perl.com/newdocs/pod/perlfaq2.html
P.S. If you have Linux, you got all you need right there brother.

Eh... that's not a nice name around here. Matt isn't commonly referenced
by the experienced frequent posters in the NG. Ok.. he's not referenced
at all. :) It's ok to pick up code and study it... it's better to realize
not everyone does things umm..'correctly' (that includes me!)
Picking an Hosting Provider should probably come from
info gathered at comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi where a few folks
will give you 80 billion different opinions.
As it relates to Perl, 90% of the time you will get what you pay for in a
hosting provider... make sure support is available. Make sure they are
running as new of a release of Perl as possible. I think 5.004_x would
probably be an agreeable number in this group.

That's a perfectly valid question... You can acheive a rather
overwhelmingly large list of benefits using Perl vs. JavaScript. A
partial list for your goals might include...
log file processing
form processing
ftp from your script to other servers
fetch pages from other servers
send mail automatically from scripts.
The list goes on.

Don't pick anyone that imposes too many limits on you. You should be able
to do your own scripting and have as much freedom in the system as the
sysadmin will allow without security risks.
Have fun.

Message-Id: <3738F82E.B40D0E75@wxscape.com>
I am attempting to create a counter which is not seen on the page. Here
is the code for the script:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
$countfile="dm2k_counter.txt";
open(INF, "$countfile");
$begincount=<INF>;
close(INF);
$newcount = $begincount + 1;
open(OUTF, ">$countfile");
print OUTF "$newcount\n";
close(OUTF);
open (INF, "$countfile");
$newcount=<INF>;
close (INF);
echo;
open (OUTF2,">dm2k_counter.html");
print OUTF2 "<html>\n";
print OUTF2 "<head>\n";
print OUTF2 "<title>DM2K Visit Log</title>\n";
print OUTF2 "</head>\n";
print OUTF2 "<body>\n";
print OUTF2 "Since April 1, 1999, there have been $newcount visitors\n";
print OUTF2 "</body>\n";
print OUTF2 "</html>";
close (OUTF2);
exit;
The file works if I run it at the command line (Solaris), but when I
attempt to run it from a web browser, it does not work. Does anyone
have any insight? Thank you very much.

It was pure off-topic, posted by someone who complains about the amount
of off-topic traffic, including CGI questions, to this group. Wasn't the
noise from posting each FAQ question one at a time, and each perl
function man page one at a time, enough? Where are those who would
respond by asking "where is the perl content", as they do to every other
web question?

OK, grabbed, libwww, any sample for doing generally what I want to do? I
installed it using ActivePerl PPM (win32) so there isn't much
documentation =P. I downloaded the unix version just for the docs,
though, but couldn't find something about grabbing html docs using POST

There's an example in the main LWP documentation. See the LWP and lwpcook

authentication. I was thinking of using the existing individual Vax
accounts of each employee, like so, when they login to the application,
Net::Telnet will output successful/unsuccessful logins for valid/invalid
username/password. When login is OK, an HTML page will appear.
Thanks!

Well, after 6 months, here's the answer to the quiz: what do we do about

]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.
