Message-Id: <7l9f7a$6u2$1@news.mandic.com.br>
Hi,
I would like to know if is there any body who would like to develop a free
chat engine written perl under the GNU terms, like this search engine is -
http://perlfect.com/freescripts/search/. All the chat engines I have seen
in perl really stink, and other chat engines (unknown prog. lang.) like
http://chat.magma.ca/ are TOO MUCH expansive (+US$1500).
I have started out something, but it's a huge challenge for a beginner. If
any one is interested, let me know and I pass you the source code.

Brian,
What exactly do you want to do with these files? Do you want to
strip all the <HTML> codes and ignore formatting? Do you want to keep
formatting <B><I><BR> etc? or just extract the plain text? Help us
understand what you want to do and how it relates to Perl.

Some hints:
1. If you don't say what error message you got, you're not likely to
get in the way of much useful help.
2. Name the arguments to your subroutine. It makes the code much
clearer.
3. If $_[0] contains a single quote (') then your SQL statement will
contain a syntax error. Use DBI's `quote' method.
4. If speed is an issue, it can be considerably faster to do a single
query on a database (in this case, to fetch all of the parent/child
pairs at once) rather than use multiple queries (in this case, to
fetch a single parent/child pair at a time).

"open STDERR" does not work.

Hi, I have been using perl for 2 days =).
I would just like to know the most common way in general that cgi
programmers use to mail off form results to someone. I want it to be mailed
off server-side on an NT machine running IIS. Also, I have noticed that
most scripts dynamically create html results depending on the form input but
i am wondering about url redirection based on form input. I have bought the
gecko book but it doesnt cover e-mailing form results.
Thanks.

Er no the *header* is the same. The first one however is followed by
some misplaced HTML tag .... But what that has to do with Perl I really

I notice that you obviously neglected to read the the rest of Abigail's post
which would indicate why that comment was made - the code wouldnt even
compile as it stands: 'Jumping into coding' is one thing but simply making
a load of stuff up and hoping that it will work is something else entirely.
The original poster wants to learn Perl fine, they learn best by doing stuff,
but people cant learn something as potentially complex as programming by
simply guessing at it. I would suggest that they start by looking at:

And

OK, it's a tad q&d. It woudn't be stupid to check for %escaped characters,
but you get the general idea. This will of course simply redirect to the
first argument in your script.
> that also does "seamless redirection" (that is, user sees foo.org, but

You are not looking for redirection, you are looking for a proxy-solution.
Redirection implies that the browser is told to look for the page elsewhere,
this cannot be done without the browser telling the user which page it is
currently on[1].
What you need is a script that downloads a webpage, replaces all the <a
href=""> and <img src=""> tags with a reference to your script. Use the LWP
module for this.
[1] Well, you could of course slap on a single frame which fills the entire
page. This technique will hide the URL from the Location/Address bar and is
otherwise known as "cheating". If you want to see this technique in action,
check out any sites with a surf.to/ fly.to/ barf.at/ or similar domain.

Hi
there is one disadvantage with PPM (I havent found a documented solution).
If you have two computers usind Perl, you have to download the module
twice. This takes some time. It's easier and faster, to load the module from
www.activestate.com/packages/zips/
Save the package to disk and PPM is very happy to install the package from
there.

Subject: Proxy with Perl
Message-Id: <7la3dh$bep$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Hello there,
I4m trying to write a generic TCP-Proxy in Perl. I thought about
different ways, but I think the easiest is to do a fork, and then have
one Process writing from the Server to the client and the other from the
Client to the Server.
Now I have the problem that I don4t know how to close the connection to
one end if the other has disconnected. For example:
I4m proxying a POP3 session and the client sends a QUIT to the Server
(it sends it to my proxy, which sends it to the Server). The Server
disconnects from the proxy (for him the proxy is the client). Now I want
the proxy to disconnect the client, but it doesn4t. Here4s the code:
if ($kidpid) {
# send Data from Server to Client
while (defined ($line = <$local_serverside>)) {
# print STDOUT $line;
print $local_clientside $line;
}
$local_serverside->close;
$local_clientside->close;
kill("TERM", $kidpid); # sen

This has little to do with perl.
Anyway, ask yourself these questions:
What is the user id of the web server process? What are the permissions
of the file /heckler/www/stricker/cgi-bin/filename.txt? What are
the permissions of the directory /heckler/www/stricker/cgi-bin?
If cgi-bin is what it normally is, and the server isn't severely
misconfigured, the server demon won't have write access there.

I've found something on this page:
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/text?lookup=ag+gram.+48
that might interest you.
The authors of this page claim that of the four neuter words of the second
declension ending in -us (virus, pelagus, vulgus and cetus) two have a
plural with -e, apparently coming from Greek: pelage and cete.
This means that 'vire' is perhaps a better plural than 'virus', 'vira',
'virora', 'viri', 'virii' etc.
In Latin, that is. In English, 'viruses' is of course, as you say, the
only correct plural.

I don't know ;-)
But if you intend to do a lot of reading and/or writing from the database,
you would be better off using the Win32::ODBC module.

Ahem - I'll correct myself here... I suppose the DBI / DBD-ODBC modules are
the way to go.

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.
