Subject: 'Perl core' or 'perl core'?

Uri Guttman and I are completing a paper for the upcoming Perl
Conference in Monterey, on new efficient sorting techniques. We
disagree on the capitalization in the following paragraph, and are
trying to get a consensus from the wise heads in this newsgroup.
"Even the simplest custom sort in Perl will be less efficient than using
the default comparison. The default sort runs entirely in C code in the
[Pp]erl core, but any sortsub must execute Perl code. A well-known
optimization is to minimize the amount of Perl code executing and to try
to stay inside the [Pp]erl core as much as possible. Later we will show
various optimization techniques for Perl sorts that will reduce the
amount of Perl code executed."
So, which should it be, 'Perl core' or 'perl core'?

I wasn't complaining or trolling. I was just commenting. It's the sort of
thing I expect to find in the core language, and it's not there.

assuming the "mean" line always follows the "Maximum" line:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my (@maximum,@minimum);
open FH,'/your/file' or die "Open failed: $!";
while (<FH>) {
next if (! /^Maximum/);
push @maximum, $1 if (/(\d+)/);
$_ = <FH>;
push @mean, $1 if ($mean = /(\d+)/);
}
close FH;
This is untested but should leave you with 2 arrays of the numbers to do
what you wish with them.

I am thinking about writing a secure program for chatting and
sending/receiving e-mail in Perl. It would allow the user to select which
kind of encryption they would like (Diffie-Hellman, PGP, Blowfish, RSA,
etc.) I am quite a novice in the area of programming and cryptology, but I'm
fascinated by both and learning quickly. I would appreciate it if someone
could tell me whether or not this idea for a secure chat and e-mail network
would be possible and if so, point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Okay, I changed it to that. But when I'm printing it out the values, I get wierd
answers. here's how I'm printing it out.
while (($var, $value) = each(%config)) {
print "the var is $var and value is $value\n";
}
And I'm getting answers like this:
the var is coke and value is HASH(0x180998)
the var is pepsi and value is HASH(0x180a28)
the var is drpepper and value is HASH(0x1807e8)

I have gone through the docs, and can't seem to figure out how to print out the values or
how to set them. Help....

Okay, after really studying the perldsc, I'm able to do a foreach statement that will print
something like this:
pass: { foobar=1 } <- password
coke: { sucks=1 rules=1 dominates=1}
Here's the code I'm using to print this out:
foreach $foo ( keys %config ) {
print "$foo: { ";
for $foo2 ( keys %{ $config{$foo} } ) {
print "$foo2=$config{$foo}{$foo2} ";
}
print "}\n";
}
So, here's my question: #1 -> How do I printout what the password is? The only way I can
get anything out is by doing $config{pass}{foobar} which return 1. How do I printout the
password (pass) as foobar?
Can somebody help with this?

And while it is a wonderful environment, and supports most CGI scripts written

I definitely think that you should take a look at mod_perl. With DBD::Oracle

Hi,
I also would not go cgi. I suggest java, utilizing servlets, and the 8i is not
necessary but would be nice. (I'm using 8.0.4, but jdbc can connect back to 7.x.x

It wasn't a mistake when I said I used Math::Matrix, that is the

but I don't want to rewrite all of my code into a different format if
there is a simple way of getting it to work with the module I am
currently using. And I have read perldoc Math::Matrix and there is
nothing in there about getting the values out, I wanted to know if
anyone came up with a workaround, because otherwise it is a virtually
useless module.

you have to put <A HREF="mailto:you\@yourdomain.com">. it thinks
yourdomain is an array.

Yep, but not in the last year or so and it was in a pascal group...
Still, if you think you can come up with something that looks right but
fails miserably, go for it.

perl -e 'print pack "H*", "49276d20667265652120" x 2 . "3a2d290a"'
Well, _I_ liked it.
Cheers!

Actually, I've tried setting up Perl with PWS, and the only way to do it is to
set the path to perl as
"perl.exe %s" instead of with two %s, as IIS requires. Don't ask me why it
works, but it does. Who knows why MS does anything?
Good luck,

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.
