Any idea what is the advantage over Javascript besides
regex? Can it take variable from Javascript and vice versa?
(is it required??) where I can find more pointers regarding

You are in the wrong place. Please call IE tech support, or find a
group dealing with IE.
Here we deal with Perl. IE problems are uninteresting.

Let me ask this another way. Is there any advantage to
using JavaScript, other than dinky little client-side toys
which anyone with a thought to security has already switched
off? In case you can't tell from my emphasis, the answer is
'no'.
Perhaps you'd be interested in reading perlfaq1, the first
part of the Perl FAQ. There you will find a pointer to
comparisons of Perl with other languages. You will find a
discussion of some of the many things you can do with Perl.
Regexes are just one of the many strong points of the
language. It is also one of the best 'glue' languages you'll
find [i.e. yes it can interact with JavaScript and canned
programs].
HTH,

Abigail, I appreciate (most of the time) all your remarks and comments, they

For the purposes of my webcrawler, I know there isn't any <br clear = 'all'>
or "<br>" because I didn't program or code them in there.

Once again I have coded my html and there aren't any without ; what

Just makes it easier to read the $html variable when displaying it.

When there are anchors to other pages, ie [Home][Back][Sitemap] I'd like a
user to be able to find these links by entering the words found in those
brackets. I haven't any {} <> (they've been stripped) in my code.

There aren't any hyphenated words in my html code. There really isn't any

You got me there, maybe we'll strip out the SCRIPT tags and any code in
between. See... you got me thinking again and thinking is good! Don't have
CDATA elements. Don't use comments. (A Perl script generates the html code

that is a very important piece of information. if these pages are
autogenerated then parsing them directly is a fine thing to do, as long
as you control both the generator code and the parser. then the fact
that it is html is a moot point, it is a file with a known fixed
format. if you had said this earlier, then much of this thread would
have been different.

Yes, but you were giving advice to others. And they didn't indicate they
were going to apply that on your pages. s/<br>/ /ig might work on your
pages, it doesn't in general. Please refrain from posting solutions that
only work in specific setups, unless you make it clear in which setup
they work. That will make the discussion a lot cleaner, and it will
avoid people getting frustrated because it doesn't work for their pages.

But in the previous sentence you claim to have SCRIPT tags. Hmmm,
that would mean your DOCTYPE declaration indicates it's an early version
of HTML 3.2, right? Otherwise, if it's any of the HTML 4.0s, or the
final verions of HTML 3.2, SCRIPT is a CDATA element.
Do you know what a CDATA element *is*?

No, but your PERL question is? LOL. Just kidding. I just use the old
<script language="JavaScript"> </script> tags. What version is this? The
old one I guess. Once again, you got me there. I only need to know enough

Subject: Program Architecture?
Message-Id: <7lunsm$340$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Thanks in Advance.
I am only several months into studying Perl and have used all of my
program learning to create cgi:
I have recently finished writing a rather simple script that, once
called generates an HTML form, when the user is done another is
generated, then this again, and finally a form verifying all entered
information. Once accepted the script writes to several databases,
sends a few emails, and generates a closing page.
Pretty simple cgi. This script returns to itself each time the newly
generated forms are completed, thus the entire script is over 2000
lines in length.
Is there any efficiency gained in breaking this size script into
smaller parts, instead of one large entity?
Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated...

Hello,
Does anybody out there know if it is posible for a perl program to
execute another perl program and NOT wait for the output?
The script I worte takes too long and the browser times out. I would
like to write a small script that answers the browser and executes the
perl program that takes too long.
I have tried answering the browser first and then taking care of the
long process, but aparentrly ZEUS web server (the ISP's server where
this is running) does not answer the browser until all of the script
has been executed.
Any Ideas (any, realy!) are sincerly apreciated.

Subject: read vs. sysread vs. <FH> vs. fscanf() vs....
Message-Id: <37827FA0.93FC13DD@lmco.com>
I'm writing a module that will read data from a file that may be in ASCII or
binary format. Part of the data will be read by the Perl module and part of
it (for speed and efficiency reasons) will be read by an XS module written
in C. Thus, depending on the format of the file (which will not be known
ahead of time), I may need to read the data with Perl functions read(),
sysread(), and/or <FH>; and C functions read(), fread(), and/or fscanf().
Once I open a filehandle in Perl I don't want to have to reopen the file (to
avoid a race condition, if that's the right term), so I need to use a set of
I/O statements that are compatible with open() or sysopen() in both Perl and
C.
Does anyone have any insights into this problem?
Thanks,
Brett

If someone on the street asks you for the time, do you refer him to a local
jeweller to buy a watch? Or perhaps you just hack him into small pieces and go
about your day. Or maybe you just eat him whole...

if I'm walking in front of a clock store .. across the road from the town
hall (which as a clock on it) .. and someone who's wearing a giant clock
around their neck stops me and asks me for the time then I point out that
they're wearing a clock and I make fun of them for asking someone else
instead of just reading their own clock or looking in the clock shop or
at the town hall clock
especially when they're the hundredth clock-wearing person to ask me that
question in that place that day

Subject: Digest Administrivia (Last modified: 1 Jul 99)
Message-Id: <null>
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.
