Hi...
I am searching for perl code of Pareto random number generator.
Python has the instance of "paretovariate" but I don't know if Perl
does.
Do you know about this ? If you know, please tell me

You could try this... read your data into an array called @array, and then
sort it with a specially designed 'sort' call. Then you could modify the
'foreach' loop to recognize each new letter, and whatever other bells &
whistles you want.
@array = <>;
foreach (sort alphabetically @array)
{
print;
}
sub alphabetically
{
$tempa = $a;
$tempb = $b;
$tempa =~ tr/A-Z/a-z/;
$tempb =~ tr/A-Z/a-z/;
($tempa cmp $tempb);
}

Ok. I've tried to use the CGI.pm module but to no avail. I'm new to both
Unix and perl. I downloaded the file from lstein's site and then used the
command zcat < gzipfile | CGI.pm to unzip it and create the pm module. Does
this sound right? Just getting error messages when I try to run a script
with it. BTW what directory do you put the CGI.pm module in?

Sounds like you need to maintain a one-line buffer.
while (<>) { # UNTESTED
if ( /some condition/ ) {
chomp $lastline;
}
print $lastline;
$lastline = $_;
}

You need to be running a web server on your computer. Try Apache for Win32. Then
change the action to something other than a hard drive reference, on Apache it
will need to be a ScriptAlias directory (i.e. action="/perl/survey.pl")
Basically, you need a Web server to process it.

Oop!! Sorry, a mistake, the above is:
$nRecv = recv(SOCK, $ResponseMessage, $MSG_SIZE, 0) or die "recv:
$!";
I did try:
$nRecv = read(SOCK, $ResponseMessage, $MSG_SIZE) or die "read: $!";
Unluckily, both failed. First one got failed without error message.
Second one always end with timeout or long wait failed (cause running
in CGI).

Actually, my program is like this (refer from "Programming Perl"):
$iaddr = inet_aton($remote) or die "nohost: $remote";
$paddr = sockaddr_in($port, $iaddr);
$proto = getprotobyname('tcp');
socket(SOCK, PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, $proto) or die "socket: $!";
connect(SOCK, $paddr) or die "connect: $!";
$nBytesSent = send(SOCK, $RequestMessage, 0) or die "send: $!";
if ($nBytesRecv) {
$nBytesRecv = recv(SOCK, $ResponseMessage, $MSG_SIZE, 0)
or die "recv: $!";
} else {
die "Failed to receive response from server";
}
Firstly, connect to server, send a command, then get the reply.
I did try to use read(), or even use while ($line = <SOCK>) but
no succeed at all. Could it be the system problem? Like, my
server disable some network function call by changing some devices
mode (/dev/xxxx) or in Perl Socket library? I did it in my Linux
system, no problem at all, but it didn't work in Solaris 2.6.
Thanks for your help!!

Subject: if ($_ =~ /^$var/) always fails - why?
Message-Id: <7lbtfu$44l$1@news.iastate.edu>
The if statement below always fails. However, I've done almost identical
statements in other perl scripts with no problems whatsoever. Even more
confusing is that although $idcode contains "OMASVSLBF" at the start of the
while loop (yes, really), if I replace /^$idcode/ with the literal
/OMASVSLBF/, the script works fine.
CODE SNIPPET:
open(TABLE, "$path/wx.descr") || die "Can't open wx.descr for reading!\n\n";
while (<TABLE>) {
if ($_ =~ /^$idcode/) {
($junk, $title, $notedir) = split (/,/);
last; # Got idcode, leave loop.
}
}
print "idcode is $idcode\n";
print "junk is $junk, title is $title, notedir is $notedir\n";
END CODE
OUTPUT
idcode is OMASVSLBF
junk is ZCZC, title is , notedir is
END OUTPUT
(note that $junk has a value because it was used earlier in the script)
INPUT FILE wx.descr
ZZZZZZZZZ,************************************,NULL

Subject: Need a quote on a perl job
Message-Id: <7lc16s$2jp$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Need a quote on a perl job
here is what I need in a perl script. I need to be able to search a
database on 3 different servers and return about 5 fields and have it
show up on a HTML page based on the total matches. I need to be able to
track where the search was done and did the person click though to one
of the server databases based on what the search returned.
I need to track people as I will be giving out special codes to
each beta tester to track how many times they searched and clicked
though to one of the databases. I need to have the ability to add
categories to the perl script as must as our project needs a few
different categories.
I need to be able to add a servers at a later date that I can easily
setup.
Please let me know what this would cost. I don't want hourly prices.
This is just a test project and if all goes well we will have a lot of
other work for the programmer that makes this script.
I don't think this would be a hard task to do so if you want to make one
up and I can try it and give me a price you want for the script.
Price is a factor at this time in the project.
If you would like to make this program send us a email and we can give
you all the details.

umask is kind of a curious thing. You don't set it to the permissions you want,
you set it to the *opposite*. Hence, it's a mask. So the mask for 777 is 000,
the mask for 644 is 133, etc.

There's no really easy way to do it. The closest would have to be this, but it's

No, the truth is I did post to the moderated group. Marcel just missed
it in all the FAQS and man page postings that make reading the
moderated group impossible.

In the right context, it is a semi-interesting problem in plain language
processing. There is a right context, it just isn't USENET.

Subject: Search Engine Problem -- newbie question
Message-Id: <37798F29.1BB551BC@ix.netcom.com>
I have a search engine for my database that works well. When I go into
my browser and type
"http://www.mywebpage.com/cgi-bin/DB_Search/db_search.cgi?setup_file=sample.setup.cgi"
and enter some values in the frontend form, the engine displays 10 hits,
then I can click the "see next # hits" button and get my next 10 hits.
Perfect.
However, if I try putting code into my HTML page for the frontend form
on "http://www.mywebpage.com" and then test it as a client, the first 10
hits display, but the next hits do not. The page says, "The document
contained no data."
What's wrong? I'm getting only 10 hits and that's it.

Well, perlxstut, perlxs, and perlguts all apply here. There's not anything
all that special about objects, at least nothing that XS code really needs
to be concerned with. The trickiest part, such as it is, is the blessing,
and a quick call to newSVrv with a package name will bless a variable and
return you a reference suitable for framing or returning to your caller.

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.
