Umm...you probably don't want to use cgi-lib.pl. It was designed for Perl
4, and is no longer
supported or updated. I would recommend installing CGI.pm (and Perl 5+, if
you don't have it). You can get everything at http://www.cpan.com.

Subject: Constants and strict
Message-Id: <3777E08E.1B7CC142@corpus.nl>
L.S.,
I want to use constanst and the "strict" module. I usualy have another
source file containg the constants. I call this file with "require". I
now want to use strict all over the place, but I find that with the
require, my contstant are not recoqnised in the main routine. I have
tried to make a full fleched module, the same result, exporting all
constants in this module, idem dito, strict does not accept this.
My question is then also more general: How do I treat constants in a
clean way?
Robert de Geus
Amsterdam
Example:
// file contants.pm:
$MAXITEMS=10;
// or file constants.pm
use strict;
my $MAXITEMS=10;
// file main.pm
use strict;
require 'constants.pm';
print $MAXITEMS; // strict error

Subject: CPerl-mode not indenting this properly
Message-Id: <3777D0F0.8A5AFD9C@mcmahon.qal.berkeley.edu>
Greetings-
Using cperl-mode with emacs 20.3.1 on NT4, the following code-snippet
screws up indenting in braces:
if ($word =~ /\123(.+)\125/) { #Processor directive
my $instruction = $1;
print STDERR " >>DIRECTIVE: $instruction\n" if $Main::debug;
if ($instruction =~ /include(?:=)?(.+)/) {
push(@includes,$1);
}
}
next;
}
Specifically, the push statement is not indented, and subsequent
right-braces are erroneously shown matching a left-brace one previous to
the correct one. This persists to the end of the package; the code
compiles and (appears to) work correctly, so I believe this to be a
cperl issue. Any ideas? I'll post the whole function if you want it, but
it's 85 lines long.
Thanks.

I want to read these files and substitute the $weather variable:

$o .= "$_";
}
print $o;
does not work( prints $weather as $weather)

Subject: Locales for french accented letters.
Message-Id: <R8Qd3.4088$I72.500428@nnrp1.ptd.net>
Hi Perl People,
Have a question for ya. We have a search engine built into our web page.
Now we just added a canadian french site. The client wants the user to be
able to type in something like this...
Exchange
...and be able to search and get matches for words with the accent like
this...
Ixchange
or...
Acceptation
and come up with...
Acceptation, @cceptation, acceptation and `cceptation
So, in not so many words, I want the E to match (E, e, I, or i) and the A to
match (A, a, @ or `). Now, of course I know how to do the case-insensitive
search, it's the extra character that I'm stuck on. How can this be done?
I checked up on locales and I'm sure this is partly the way to go, but I'm
just not sure how to achieve what I'm trying to achieve.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Much of this book is a bit advanced for the beginner, but the explanations
are so lucid and clear that if you do want to get into one of the covered
topics (references, data structures, subroutines, object-oriented
programming, and persistence all came in handy) you'll find it a big help.
Take it as a conditional recommendation: don't buy it unless you're into
one of the topics (or comfortable with the most of _Programming Perl_ and
_The Perl Cookbook_), but as soon as you are grab it.

I'm still a Perl newbie and the more complicated regular expressions
make my eyes cross - you could experiment with the following - which
does most of the things you mentioned, sort of a divide and conquer
approach!
#!perl -w
use strict;
my $mytext = "-f-hamed-f- -e-hello-e- -f-omid-f- -e-bye-e-";
my $f = '-f-';
my $e = '-e-';
my @pairs = split /\s+/, $mytext; # divide it up by the spaces
# even positions in array 0,2,4 etc. should be farsi
# and the rest english words
my $pos = 0;
foreach my $word (@pairs) {
if ($pos++ % 2) {
if ($word =~ /^$e(.*?)$e$/o) { # to help only compile once
# note the ? non-greedy
my $english = $1;
print " $english ";
} else {
die "found $word where I was expecting English word\n";
}
} else {
if ($word =~ /^$f(.*?)$f$/o) { # to help only compile once
# note the ? non-greedy
my $farsi = $1; # farsi word on it's own
# make your substitutions here!
$farsi =~ s/h/1/g;
print "$f$farsi$f";
} else {
die "found $word where I was expecting Farsi word\n";
}
}
}
print "\n";
1;

Subject: Problem with CGI in IE but not Netscape
Message-Id: <3777CD33.BA4BEA51@nospam.compuvisions.com>
I have written a script to add, remove, and delete information from
a tab-delimited text file that is running on a Unix server. Each line
of the file contains a number (time the record was created) and that is
how the records are sorted. The following lines are where the problem
arises, entryNum is the number for one of the records in the file. The
correct HTML will be outputted in Netscape, but nothing was outputted in
IE. I then but in the else clause. The else clause is outputted in
IE. Why does this occur? I thought Perl ran only on the server side,
so why would the output be different in IE than in Netscape? If anyone
has any ideas, please inform me, I am quite puzzled. Also, if you
should need to see anymore of my code, I will be glad to send it to you.
while (<INFO>)
{
@line=(split(/\t/,$_));
print "@line[8] $array{'entryNum'}"; # Test if numbers
correct (they are)
if (/$array{'entryNum'}/) # Had different form of test
origionally, same problem.
{
# Here is the HTML that displays in Netscape but not IE

# This HTML is outputted instead of the above.

If the FAQ post was meant for me, I had already checked the FAQ's but they
did not help (at least as far as I saw) I get output for both, only
Netscape displays the if statement and IE diplays the accompaning else
statement. It is not in the actual HTML as far as I can tell, it does
display the HTML correctly, it seems to be in the if-else statement which is
what has me confused.

Thanks for all the responses!
A few more words on the issue. I actually found the
|| (warn ... , return);
line in the File::Find.pm module. It has a few of those, so those
warning messages will never be seen.
I was modifying the module to handle max-depth breadth-first search so
that it ignores files/dirs deeper than the specified max-depth. I
found that quite useful. The change is simple, mainly to the recursive
sub finddir. If you're interested in the modified version, email me.
Thx!

You are trying to parse HTML without using the HTML::Parser
(or similar) module(s).
Visit your nearest CPAN.

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.
