I am reasonably sure it can be done!
Let me ask you a question....
If you want help with your car, do you go to the bank asking them to help
you fix your car?
If you ansvered yes on that one, do you go to the garage asking the car
repairguys/gals for a loan?
Lets say i work at a bank!
When you come in, asking me if i can help you with your (for example) engine
problem..what do you think i will ansver on that one?
Your problem is not a perl one... Its a HTML one.
Lets say for example that you have a script that outputs a HTML file..well
then the problem is still HTML related as long as the script prints the
HTML. If it doesent print the HTML, then its something wrong with your perl
script.
A perl question:
why does this not work on my machine!
print<<"HTML"
<html>
<head><title>quess!
</title></head>
HTML
(ansver: cause its a syntax error)
A Non Perl Question:
why is the background in the HTML file black?
print<<"HTML";
<html><head><title>
HTML question!</title>
</head><body bgcolor="#000000">
HTML
There are a lot of HTML newsgroups out there, if you ask your question there
you will have a higher chance of getting a soloution for your problem.
I am not that good at HTML, if i where i would have ansvered you, even if
you did post in the wrong newsgroup.

Subject: compare two big files?
Message-Id: <7klgui$b3n$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Greetings all...,
Can anybody suggest me what is the best way to compute difference
between two big files in Perl?
I ever dumped files into two different associative arrays and use the
example suggested by CPAN to compare two associative arrays. But
unfortunately 'out of memory' occurred.
I also tried unix system command 'sdiff'. But I noticed this command
compares two files line by line and the result is not that accurate.
A very simple example here:
File1 File2
------ -----
x y
The result of 'sdiff -s File1 File2' is:
x | y
But according to the manual page of 'sdiff', I think the result should
be:
x <
> y
This is also what I want.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Bing

Subject: Re: ENV Question
Message-Id: <7kljmj$c5j$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
BINGO!!! I did some further testing and your note describes EXACTLY the
behavior I experienced. If I set LD_LIBRARY before execution,
everything was fine.
I'm using version 5.003 of PERL (DBD-0.44 and DBI-0.82). I used the
solaris trace command TRUSS and tried all sorts of things with my
scripts. You can watch it try to resolve DBD/DBI library references and
you can see that the "original" library path is the only path used. In
fact, if you use "Use Oraperl", it appears to me that this is the first
statement executed (no matter where it appears in the PERL script) and
thus can never be executed before $ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}=blah.
Thanks to all who responded. Hope this can help some others!

Not all the numbers are floating point -- and although the regex you
gave works with the input he gave, it doesn't work if the first or last
numbers are negative.
Assuming input more like:
12- .34- 456.0- 123-
and this works better
s/( ?)(\d*\.?\d+)-/-$2$1/g;
Of course if I'm wrong about the possible input, then it's not any
better, and I should keep my mouth shut.

Why not test on your PC? The best route would be to install Linux on
your PC, but if there's a reason why you don't want to do that you can
get Apache and Perl for Win32 and you'll have a pretty good test bed.

Is _that_ all you wanted? Then visit
ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/
in particular
ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/
for the basic data that you need. The files that you find there are
machine parseable, so you can pop them into your code without risking
typos. No doubt you'll already realise that the Western coding is in
CP1252.TXT
Or use one of the excellent Perl modules that you'll find at CPAN
(no, I haven't checked specifically, but I'm confident you'll find
something good. Just check that the "euro" has been included, as it's
a relatively recent update.)
I suppose I should register a routine protest at your use of the term
"MS-ASCII". ASCII is a 7-bit code (what was called "us-ascii" back in
the days when people used national variant 7-bit codes). MS have a
tendency to refer to their 8-bit codings as "ANSI", but I've never found
anything from the ANSI that justifies this usage, either. Safest to
call them "MS Windows" codes, IMHO. (Standard _DOS_ 8-bit codings are
different, OK? CP850 for Western European locale).

Yes, thank you very much for the URLs.
I know it may be hard to believe, but I'm actually one of those old
line programmers who can whip up code w/no problems, but still finds
Web searching and Yahoo'ing a bit confusing.
A pointer to the specific CPAN node where the program can be found

What sort of abuse? Multiple IP's with the same username could be someone
with a dynamic IP (shared among many users) and a single IP with multiple
usernames could be a firewall or proxy. And even if you have username and
password, what is to stop somebody from giving those to someone else? For
example I could have my own IP, my work IP or hundreds of CompuServe
dynamic IP's not to mention unlimited email addresses on several domains.

You didn't say how large an application you are writing (searching 30 pages
of text is a different problem than searching 300,000). I just released
an inverted index system (Search::InvertedIndex) that you can find
on CPAN (<URL::http://www.cpan.org/>) that is suitable for the search
side of large tasks (it contains support for full booleans, but no
parser for transforming text requests into internal requests). There
are others there as well that might be better suited depending on your
precise requirements: Look at the Text::Query group of modules.

Yes. Look at 'ExtUtils::Embed'.

Hi,
I'm putting together a little memo for my boss concerning perl compiling,
perl executables,etc. I'm having a hard time finding anything in the
FAQ's or the general web dealing with these topics. Also equally
evasive or any articles on C/C++/Perl integration. Can anyone point out
a good site or sites to visit to aid my search?

Subject: Safe expression evaluation
Message-Id: <929976462.308788@dibbs3.eur.cis.philips.com>
Hi!
I am looking for a safe way to do expression evaluation, without the
overhead of a complete rewrite of a parser. I would just like to let the
input from a text file be something like:
if (defined _A and _B ne "txt") ...
where the expression would be converted to something like:
'defined(%S{"A"} and %S{"B"} ne "txt"'
Variable substitution can be easily done (variables have a leading '_' for
example). Then I though of just 'eval'-ing the whole thing. This is where
security issues pop up, right? What if the input would be:
if (system('rm *'))
I do NOT want this to be evaluated! Is this a 'tainting' thing that I should
look into? Does anyone have any examples of how to do this kind of
expression evaluation?
Any tips would be appreciated!
Marcel

Possibly. It depends a great deal on how your operating system handles
directories. But the real problem is that you are searching too many
documents for the approach. Linear searches tend to become unreasonably
slow over around 1000 documents. Above that, you should be using more
sophisticated methods using indexes.

Subject: Sending a mail from LOTUS NOTE (winNT)
Message-Id: <7klib1$do3$1@minus.oleane.net>
I'm using the script below to try to send a MAIL:
open (MAIL,"| mail test@oneaddress.com") ||
die "Error: Can't start mail program - Please report this error to
test@oneaddress.com";
print MAIL "cgi-test script report","\n";
etc...
close ( MAIL );
The script is compiled and correctly executed, but the mail is not send and
the server tell me that it don't found the executable trying to be called
(MAIL.EXE).This script has been writed for UNIX (found in Teach yourself CGI
programming).Anyone could it tell to me what is the agent that replace
'MAIL' for a LOTUS NOTE server under WIN NT???
Thanks a lot

=====
- A line in the body of a post is considered to be original if it
does *not* match the regular expression /^\s{0,3}(?:>|:|\S+>|\+\+)/.
- All text after the last cut line (/^-- $/) in the body is
considered to be the author's signature.
- The scanner prefers the Reply-To: header over the From: header
in determining the "real" email address and name.
- Original Content Rating (OCR) is the ratio of the original content
volume to the total body volume.

Subject: Re: Temporary file
Message-Id: <7klfqs$ala$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Here are a couple suggestions.
It is REALLY easy to send email using the Mail::Sendmail module.
It is available at:
ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/by-module/Mail/Mail-Sendmail-0.
77.tar.gz
This way
a) you don't need to make a temp. file
and
b) you don't need to invoke sendmail via the command line.
Another solution is to just open sendmail like this:
open(mail, "| sendmail -f$sender -F$senderName -t");
print mail "To: bob@anywhere.com\n";
print mail "cc: joe@somewhere.net\n;
print mail "\n";
print mail "Test message!\n";
close(mail);

istead of writing the data to a file, why not just have the script
itself format the data as required and send that to sendmail (the other
way introduces an unnesecary step).

I would like to to do it that way. But they won't let me install the
Mail::Send module on the server. It was difficult to get perl
installes, so i don't even think of installing a module.

]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.
