This is documented in the Win32 specific FAQ that ships with the Activestate
distribution. This can be accessed via the Active Perl shortcut in your
start menu. If you are still having difficulties with this after you have
read that document then you will be better off asking in the newsgroup
comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows.
By the way what you describe as the 'new perl 5.18' is actually 'Build 518'
of the Activestate distribution based on the Perl 5.005.03 core. Just a
spot of pedantry really.

Hello,
I am writing a cgi script to query an Oracle database. Some of queries can

You'd be better off asking this in a CGI NG. If it's working otherwise,
it's probably the Content type that's the problem. Maybe some relevant
parts of the code in your post would be helpful, rather then "The page
shows blank", because it's very difficult to guess. It also might work
with one brand of web browser and not another, which can indicate other
problems. It may not be calling a sub routine properly, or it might not
even be there. It could be trying to locate a configuration file that
isn't there, or is erroring. It can be near anything. Just knowing it's
called "chat.pl" isn't helpful at all, as it's not relevant.

As stated in Chapter 1, page 27 of "Programming Perl" O'Reilly it states:
By the way, if you don't use the =~ binding operator, then Perl will
search a default
variable instead of $line. This default space is really just a special
variable that goes
by the odd name of $_. In fact, many of the operators in Perl default
to using the $_
variable, SO AN EXPERT PERL PROGRAMMER MIGHT WRITE THE ABOVE AS:
if (/lastname=[S-Z]/)
$_ being implied.
As stated in Chapter 2, page 57 IBID it states:
On the other hand, for the m// operator only, the m may be omitted if
the delimiters you pick
are in fact slashes.
m being implied.

Personally, I prefer to comment out lines individually so I can
tell in a search window which lines are active. However, you
could bracket the section with embedded documentation tags like
=back
stuff you want
commented out
=cut
and, assuming no one tries to extract documentation, only you
will know the difference.-Wm

Many people who use Perl do _not_ use it to author CGI scripts. On the
other hand, many people who use Perl eat pizza. So, why you don't ask
comp.lang.perl.misc for a pizza recipe?
Get a clue.

Yes. Every time someone comes to comp.lang.perl.misc to ask a CGI
question, traffic in comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi halts for one
hour.
Unfortunately, every time someone comes to clpm to ask a question about
ciwac itself, traffic there halts for an entire day! Now you'll have to
wait at least 24 hours to see traffic again.
Let that be a lesson to you!

You heard something about something that doesn't exist. Yes, there's a
Perl compiler. No, it doesn't magically make them as fast as programs
written in C. Or at least not as fast as equivalent, well programmed
programs in C. (After all, the compiler does generate a C program, that
runs as fast as itself....). Of course, there's a FAQ that could have
told you.

This happens sometimes with the VMS perl build. We're not entirely sure
why, but it's harmless. Just reissue the MMS command and you'll be fine.
Alternately, add an /IGNORE=WARNING on the initial MMS command and it'll
note the problem and keep on going.

Subject: Cookie problem
Message-Id: <7lnp03$eg3$1@gxsn.com>
To use my cookies, I do the following:
use CGI;
$query = CGI::new();
Then to check if there is a cookie already (called "year"), I use:
$cookie = $query->cookie('year');
$val = $cookie->value();
Unfortunately, the line "$val = $cookie->value();" is giving me a server
error, which I assume is because of the syntax ($cookie not having a member
"value" ??). The problem is that I don't know what to do about it.
Thanks,
James.

I don't think there is a value() function!
$cookie = $query -> cookie ( 'year' )
returns the value of the cookie!

You RTFM. It will explain whether CGI::new () -> cookie () has a member
value () or not.

Have a look at:
GIFgraph module @ CPAN.

Was there ever Perl 1.0?
Can I get the source for it?
I just want to know how the initial perl looked like ;-)

Since Perl wasn't devised by MS PR people, I'd say "yes".

Hi,
Given a Date range passed from the CGI/Perl script, how do we retrieve a
set of rows/records from a text file (of format say..
01Jan1999:col2:col3) that matches the date range.??? TIA,
Raj

First, learn how to open and read a file.
Then, look at using 'split' to split each line into fields.
Then, maybe look at using a Date::* module (from CPAN) to parse date strings.
HTH.

Administrivia:
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.
