Subject: \n doesn't work on NT4 SP4
Message-Id: <7j6un4$rqq$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Hello all, and thank you for your time.
Running NT4 Sp4 Hotfixes and Y2K Update on a Micron PII-450 as a PDC.
Have ActiveState Perl for Win32 installed (Downloaded about 3 weeks
ago.). Putting together a script for Profiles/User Directories/Exhange
Accounts, and can't get the newline character "\n" to work. Just for
more info, I am not using any outside modules (Mostly because I am too
simple at programming to use modules.), just running straight Perl.
Never had a problem with this on Solaris, but can't seem to make it work
on NT. Here's an example:
print "Please confirm the info you have entered. \n";
print "Username is $username, first name is $first_name, \n";
print "last name is $last_name, and title is $title. \n";
print "Is this infomation correct?"
$status = 0;
while ($status < 1){
$ansr = <stdin>;
chop $ansr;
lc $ansr;
if ($ansr ne ( 'y' || "n'){
redo;
... and so on...
Anyway, none of the newlines are shown. Script just puts all text on
one line, and wraps around the screen. I even tried \r, \p and
combinations of the three, all to no avail. I have searched the
newsgroups and all the Web FAQ's and cant find this one, so I am posting
it now. Any help is appreciated, feel free to reply to the newsgoups or
my email, as listed below.
Thank you all,
William

This code snippet wouldn't work on any machine.
First <stdin> must be <STDIN>. page 14 camel book
Second lc is a function. That is it returns something. You can't do that!
Well ok you can do, and you did, but on my machine it said "Useless use of
lower case in void context at e:\bin/conf.bat line 69 (#1)"
It only gets worse after that...

Subject: Can't make a perl NT
Message-Id: <3756cde5.0@news.otw.com>
If anyone can help me get a perl loaded on NT Server 4 I would appreciate
it.
So Far:
-Downloaded and unzipped the files for perl 5
-Downloaded and unzipped dmake
error: "Warning can't create dmake-4_1pl1-win32.patch
-dmake perl
error "don't know how to make 'perl'
Obviously perl -v is unknown. I'm sure that somehow I've missed something
important but I don't know what. Is there explicit documentation somewhere
on installing a perl on NT Server? The two books I have don't go into any
detail on the perl install.

Mike

It's an NT problem. If you invoke a command via file associations, you
can't redirect its output. You might try using pl2bat to create batch
files from your scripts instead.

Why yes. Go to http://language.perl.com/admin/whats_new.html
and scan down for CPAN query engines. You might look at

Message-Id: <3757070C.A8408510@ibm.net>
I wrote a perl script on an OpenBSD machine to update a DNS zone file.
Update goes fine, but no matter what I do, when it's called by Apache it
won't copy back to the /var/named directory. The script has suid
permissions set, and is owned by named. /var/named is owned by named,
as well as is the file I'm tryng to put there. The command I'm trying
is:
system("cp /tmp/zone.file /var/named/my.zone");
Whenever I run this script from the shell prompt, it works fine (as root
or named). I am using Apache 1.3.6.
Please cc: to my e-mail (shadowsystems@ibm.net).

Did you check your error_log to see what error the webserver was giving?
Could you tell us? Also post in the comp.infosystems...cgi newsgroup.

Anyone have a good idea on how to search the string for items that may be

I may need to search the string for a "*" also... and I can't find anything

s/([a-z])/\u$1/;
This converts the first lower-case ASCII letter in the string to upper-
case. As shown, it doesn't have to be the first character in the
string. You should be able to make suitable modifications for your
needs.

Forget the hash (at least for this purpose). Read all the lines into an
array, perhaps chomping. Then read perlfaq4: "How do I sort an array
by (anything)?".

Or....,
I saw a module called CGI::Validate on CPAN.
Haven't tested it myself.

This is no joke! I was pennyless in 1990, and then I learned C++ and Java,
and all of a sudden it all came together. All of a sudden, I had respect
for myself, and I was making $50,000 and more. The best part about it, is
that I didn't have to lower my dignity and annoy people with high IQs that
wouldn't fall this swindle anyway!

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>

]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.
