I believe "vel" is inclusive, thus the traditional "v"-like sign
in propositional logic for inclusive or.
Or maybe it's the other way around - but not both ;)

I don't really understand your problem since you don't really post
valid code. This is perfectly fine:
$expr ? do { $x = 1; $y = 2} : do { $x = 2; $y = 3};
If you're confused by this, then why don't you simply use the clearer
if-else construct?

I am afraid this has to be done manually.
my $diff = 0;
if (keys %hash1 == keys %hash2) {

If you're wishing merely to _find_ (as opposed to write) programs,
this newsgroup may not be the best resource for you. There are many

Of course not, since %fields is a hash, not an array. Had you read the
docs (perlfunc to be exact) you would've found this:
keys HASH
Returns a normal array consisting of all the keys of
the named hash. (In a scalar context, returns the
number of keys.) The keys are returned in an
apparently random order, but it is the same order as
either the values() or each() function produces
(given that the hash has not been modified).

"wrong" is subjective.
> I am sure I am doing something simple wrong here.
Yes. You are not reading the docs.
> Any ideas?
Read more docs and FAQs. Browse through perlfaq4 to find the answer
for this question:
How can I make my hash remember the order I put elements
into it?

Is there a way in any other language to do this? If it's possible at all,
it's possible in Perl. You should probably consult the docs, FAQs, and
newsgroups about NT server issues. Do you know where to find those?

When you're having trouble with a CGI program in Perl, you should first
look at the please-don't-be-offended-by-the-name Idiot's Guide to solving
such problems. It's available on CPAN.

A child process can't set the parent's variables. But it can tell the
parent how to set them. You could add some code to the end of your batch
file to report the names and values of the variables. If you call the
command with backticks, you'll be able to parse the returned text within
Perl. See the perlop manpage for information on qx``. See the docs for
batch files to find out how to report the names and values of environment
variables on your system.

You seem to be (mis)using exec. See the perlfunc manpage for more info.

Maybe you should start by learning about Perl. Perl could be very useful
for making a program like this. In fact, there are some examples which do
similar sorts of things among Randal's Web Techniques columns.

The DBI manpage says:
Example:
$h->{AutoCommit} = ...; # set/write
... = $h->{AutoCommit}; # get/read
AutoCommit (boolean)
If true then database changes cannot be rolled-back
(undone). If false then database changes automatically
occur within a 'transaction' which must either be
committed or rolled-back using the commit or rollback
methods.
Drivers should always default to AutoCommit mode. (An
unfortunate choice forced on the DBI by ODBC and JDBC
conventions.)
So `$handle->{AutoCommit} = 0' will turn it off.

Why do you have quote marks around $mail_command? They're misleading, at
best.
Exactly which error message did you get? This one is documented in the
perldiag manpage:
=item Variable "%s" is not imported%s
(F) While "use strict" in effect, you referred to a global variable
that you apparently thought was imported from another module, because
something else of the same name (usually a subroutine) is exported
by that module. It usually means you put the wrong funny character
on the front of your variable.
But this doesn't look as if it's what you're talking about....

While that may be a fine program, you may find it easier to use LWP (and
LWP::Simple). You can get LWP from CPAN.

Yes - the kind of thing that would be taken care of at build time with
LWP.
Cheers!

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.
