Does anyone know how to get Apache web server to recognize ".pl" programs as
perl programs (i.e. to run them as scripts)?
If so, please let me know how to do it!

I think you're asking the wrong question. Apache uses a "mime.types"
configuration file to tell it what extensions map onto what file
types. The web server mainly uses this to let web browsers know how
to interpret the data the server's sending to them.
I think what you really want to do is to create a "cgi-bin" directory.
The web server then runs any executable programs that it finds in this
directory when they're requested by a web browser. You do this by
creating a particular entry in one of your configuration files. I
could guess at the correct way to do this by looking at the config
files I have available, but since I've never actually done this,
rather than give you incorrect information, I'll just suggest that you
browse around http://www.apache.org for the answer.

I think there is a cgi-bin directory in the apache root directory (eg.
/home/httpd/cgi-bin ). You can just place your script there, then use your
browser to open it.
If you want to run cgi outside that cgi-bin directory, you have to
manually config the following files srm.conf, access.conf or http.conf. They
are localed in /etc/httpd/conf on RedHat5.2.

Yes. Apache tech support.
But they don't frequent groups about unrelated languages. Either contact
Apache tech support, RTFM of Apache, or ask in a more appropriate group.

I wonder what's worse. People asking totally off topic questions, or

It's like tourists feeding the bears in a national park. They become a

Find out the information on making "ASP" style tags
for embedded perl..
I think you can have CGI's be recognized by file suffix, but
I haven't got it to work..
Read the config files..

Next time, don't post an offtopic question.
See:

Find Addhandler cgi-script ...
and add a .pl extension after it, so it looks like this

The proper group for this would be comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix
Anyhow this is answered in the Apache FAQ :

For anyone who for some reason has got the documentation installed on their

Its such a frequent question, that even activestate covers it in the
documentation that comes with activestate perl.

From http://www.apache.org/info.html:
Will Apache be supported?
Support for Apache will be via the comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix
and comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows newsgroups. Our policy
will be for complete openness, with the exception of reports of
security holes.
A number of companies now also provide full commercial support for
the Apache server.

Seems logical, since it gets rid of the tourists, too.

Sure. But if I told you, then I would have to kill you.
You could look at the fine documentation that came with your apache server
and learn how to configure it so that you have a proper cgi-bin directory for
you cgi programs.

It would be so much easier to avoid missing something if

They tried, but feeding tourists to bears is a crualty to animals.

Subject: logfiles and pipes?!
Message-Id: <378B08AC.FBE7850B@informatik.uni-marburg.de>
Hi.
I would like to have a perl script that LISTENS ALL THE TIME to the
syslogd-messages in /var/log/messages.
((because I need to exctract a database-file out of the ISDN related
entries...)
O.k. so I decided to build a script, that listens to the STDIN in an
never-ending-loop, like this:
while (<STDIN>) {
## watch the input here...
}
And I call the script with the following command-line:
tail -f /var/log/messages | myScript.pl &
That would be fine, if there is not the CRON-job which zipps the
messages file if it is bigger than 4MB.
And I don't want to disable this, because otherwise the harddisc would
be out of space quite fast...
BUT if cron zipps the messages-file the tail -f doesnt recognize this
and goes on listening, which is fatal, because the newly created
messages-file is NOT "send to" the tail -f... so "myScript.pl" just
gets stuck this way everytime the messages file is zipped.
WHAT CAN I DO? - expect to change the cron.daily - shell-script to
restart "myScript.pl" everytime /var/log/messages is zipped - or is this
the ONLY solution? - I can't believe this....
....but I don't know any other solution at the moment...
It would be GREAT (!!!) if someone could sent me a hint on this.
Ciao,
Knuth.

You posted the exact same question about two weeks ago. Though it
isn't really a perl question I gave you a reply which you ignored.
It hasn't become a perl question in the meantime. Go ask a unix
group.

Subject: lopping off last few characters
Message-Id: <7mdknb$bgm$1@charm.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu>
I am having a problem getting rid of unwanted digits from a string. suppose
the variable
$zip_code = "\"43201-1234\"";
or it could be
$zip_code = "\"432011234\"";
The value is read from a file where there are quotes around the zip code. I
don't explicitly put them in, but i wanted to show that there are quotes
there. in anycase, I only want to keep the first 5 digits.
I have tried doing this,
$zip_code =~ s/^\"+//; # first get rid of the quotes
$zip_code =~ s/\"+$//; # ditto, this does it's job just fine.
# Now try to keep the first 5 digits
$zip_code =~ m/\d{5}?/;
Is a m// what I want to be using at all? I assumed the binding operator =~
meant exactly just that, it will bind whatever it matches to the variable.
I'm kind of new to all of this, but i'm trying here. I've checked the faq on
strings, reg. expressions, and a few other things including "Programming
Perl", but I was unable to resolve this problem on my wn. Could someone
offer a little help?
Thanks,
Ross

You don't want m. How about:
$zip_code =~ s/(\d{5}).*/\1/;
> Is a m// what I want to be using at all? I assumed the binding operator =~
> meant exactly just that, it will bind whatever it matches to the variable.
No. Get the Llama book "Learning Perl."
=~ causes the pattern matching to be applied to $zip_code rather than
the default $_
If you want to keep the stuff you just hacked off, use:
$zip_code =~ s/(\d{5})(.*)/\1/;
The hacked off stuff will be in $2 while in scope or until your next
successful pattern match.

Or skip the gratuitous s///;
$zip_code = substr($zip_code,1,5);

Use $1 instead of \1, which should be used only *within* the regex --
this is not. The '-w' flag will warn about this.

Oops. Yes indeed that is correct. Good catch.

The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup

To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request

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

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
