Still wouldn't solve the problem, some systems will have multiple versions of
the same interpreter installed. Most programmers learned long ago that any
attempt to dictate a user's directory structure is almost always futile.
Even Microsoft has largely abandoned their attempts at getting users to use a
common directory structure, virtually any program nowadays will permit you
to install it just about anywhere you wish.

Don't ask twice. One post will do...
The answer is in the documentation that comes with perl...
In the FAQ to be specific. You know the thing your meant to read
_before_ you post.
perlfaq5 to be even more specific, but you multiple posts causes me
to not cut and paste the FAQ title you'll have to look yourself.

Subject: Anyone understand header hashes in Mail::Mailer?
Message-Id: <373fe756.10986384@news.dircon.co.uk>
I'm having toruble getting Mail::Mailer to use smtp to send emails for
a mailing list.
I've been using the Perl Cookbook (p652) to set up the email headers
as a hash but when I run the script, I get this error message:
"Can't use string ("From") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Mail/Mailer.pm
I presume there's a good reason "strict refs" is in place and that I
should not therefore remove them.
The lines opening the mailer - and causing the problems are:
$mailer->open( 'From' => 'Lee <lee.kimber@bigfoot.com>',
'To' => 'Lee <lee-k@dircon.co.uk>',
'Subject' => 'Test Email' )
|| die "Can't open mailer: $!\n";
as detailed in The Perl Cookbook (except that I've added the error
message check at the end).
I've read the Mail examples and can't see why this is one is failing
(though I'm new to Perl so ...)
Anyone got any ideas?

Shouldnt that be :
$mailer->open({
'From' => ....,
'To' => ....,
'Subject' => ....
})
You need the curlies there as the argument is hash reference.

There is a yacc-like parser module available in perl. Its most recent

Subject: creating an system call on the fly
Message-Id: <slrn7jvq70.8fr.eric@plum.fruitcom.com>
Hi
I have scripts that automatically send mail with all sorts of prepared
parameters. The core of the script is a call to the MUA mutt viz:
system "mutt -s '$subject' -a $file $address <<EOF
Now I am embarrassingly being reduced to the following in order to include
all the attachments.
system "mutt -s '$subject' -a $file -a\
/d/e/distribution/doc/advancereports.jpeg\
-a /d/e/distribution/doc/bluelevel.jpeg -a\
/d/e/distribution/doc/consreport.jpeg \

/d/e/distribution/doc/greenlevel.jpeg \
-a /d/e/distribution/doc/intransitalarm.jpeg -a\
/d/e/distribution/doc/invoice.jpeg \
etc etc
Can I supply a globbing reference in my @ARGV and have perl do all this
dirty work for me?
Thanx a lot

Subject: how to catch the return value in perl?
Message-Id: <7holvd$ie3$1@news1.sinica.edu.tw>
Hi, all,
I use the Linux system with informix & perl,
We know we can use the perl statement " qx (ls -al) "
to capture the output of "ls -al" , and it really works.
Then I tried to write a C program and compiled to execution file as "add".
the code is as following....
/*--add.c--*/
#include <stdio.h>
main(int argc, char *argv[]){
printf("%s",argv[1]);
return;
}
and my perl example code :
#--add.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
$|=1;
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
$p="123abc"
#--this is where i call the C program and want to capture the output value
$val=qx(./add $p)
print "<h1>return value--$val</h1>";
When I execute the perl program under the linux command mode,
"perl add.pl", it really print out the result as
"<h1>return value--123abc</h1>".
But when i run it on browser and submit to call the add.pl ,
the result(123abc) won't print out on browser(return value--), why?
Is somewhere wrong? or
Is there anyother method to catch the output or the return value
of the C program ?
Hope someone know can answer me, thanks a lot!!

Have you had a look at select() ? That's how I usually check whether there
is something to read on a socket. And it doesn't rely on potentially
unimplemented socket options...
Have you looked at perlipc yet ? There is an example there for UDP that
does just about what you want :
socket();
bind();
..
send();
..
while (select()) {
recv();
}
close();
I'm sure you can do the same thing with IO::Socket too,
Michel.

Subject: Multicasting with Perl (a sort-of answer)
Message-Id: <7hoidv$2al$1@fir.prod.itd.earthlink.net>
Seems like the news archives have plenty of posts where people ask whether
or not Perl can handle multicasting, but absolutely none wherein someone
says yes or no. I can't say definitively whether or not Perl supports it,
and I would like some kind of official statement saying yes or no. But
until that comes along, here's a little bit of info on the progress I've
made on my own.
I wrote two scripts, one that broadcasts and one that receives, and oddly
enough they do work with multicasts. The thing is, I didn't follow any of
the C programming conventions to write it, and in many regards it looks
like it shouldn't work. However, it has worked for me under Linux,
FreeBSD, and Solaris, but the exact same script does not work under IRIX.
Those are the only platforms to which I have access, so that's the best I
can do. If anyone knows the whole story on Perl and multicasting, PLEASE
let me know. The scripts I have don't work well enough for me to make a
full-fledged program out of them, but they do "sort-of" work so I am
hopeful.

No, the concept is that you get this warning only if you're trying to
USE an undefined variable, converting it to a string by for example
printing it, or interpolating in a string; or by trying to use it as a
number.
Simply copying the undefined value into another variable doesn't trigger
the warning.
my $value; # undefined
print $value; # gives a warning
my $string = "The value currently is '$value'"; # too
my $sum = $value+3; # too
my $copy = $value ; # NOT!
Oh, and this doesn't warn either:
$value++;
Because this is a trick that is used heavily, especially with hash
values, for example to count words. Other, vaguely related operators
(such as +=) don't warn either.
foreach $word (split /[?,;:.!]? +/) {
$count{$word}++;
}
Oh, and using undef in a boolean test interprets this as FALSE. No
warning.
Bart.

while (<>) {
chomp;
($value1,$value2,$value3) = split(/, /);
if ($value3 eq "something") {
print "Please do something !\n";
last;
}
}
So, grab some Perl manual, and look up :
- #!
- perl
- -w
- my
- variables
- while
- <>
- chomp
- split
- print
- last
And while you're at it, read the rest of the manual too :o

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.
