Message-Id: <7mnm51$jo3$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Hi,
What I try to do is start a long process in a perl script (say rcp a
large file) and then,while this process is running, print somehow to
STDOUT a "progressing bar" (dots) to let the user know that the rcp'ing
is still alive. The problem is that I want also to check the error
status of the rcp process when is finished.
This situation is pretty common, but I couldn't find all the pieces of
information to put this to work (searched FAQ8, perlipc, camel and ram
books, but all I can find is for slightly different problems that
the one that I have...).
I tried to start the rcp'ing in bg (system("rcp..... &")). To get the
errno back from system command I go in a loop, print my dots and check
in the same time if the process is finished. The problem is: how do I
get the pid of the rcp process so that I could then check to see if is
finished by sending 0 signal to it. Even if I could do that, and I
check $? when rcp finishes, can I be sure that the value stored there is
from the rcp process (since I don't run others)?
I guess I make the whole thing too complicated and there is a nice
solution to it, but I just don't seem to have the knowledge to find it.
Thanks a million for your help,
vlad

Well, what you wish for is a perfect usenet which doesn't exist.
Policing and reprimanding off-topic posters is to treat them as
children. Being deliberately non-helpful is not my style. If it works
for you that's fine, but why waste the time even scolding these
posters, why not just boycott them entirely until they go away?
It sounds like a bit of a power trip on your part judging from your
selection of words such as "reward" and "inappropriate hubris". Let's
face it, it's not the most gratifying part of most folks' day to get
helpful responses or support from a newsgroup. Waving experience over
your head by telling people to "Read the FAQ" with no further
explanation, is just plain bullshit. I fail to see how it presents
such a problem for you to simply ignore these newbies, and allow
someone else to help answer their question. The people who are
in-the-know don't need to humiliate and insult the people who are
trying to learn.
What makes it right for you to set a threshold to the level of
ignorance a poster may have.? Is it okay if I ask a question that
makes you think but not if I ask a common "frequently asked question"?
Now *that* is a double standard.

No, I am trying to make pl programs for CGI... :) So how would I go

I think I have Linux on a CD, but do I need Unix for real CGI
programming ?

Okay, then I'll install the Http server. But the pl scripts that it will
be able to execute will be only Win32 scripts right ?
So I may not be able to run Unix pl scripts or access Unix commands, and
my pl scripts may not work under unix right ? because, right now, I'm
working with free pl scripts found on the 'net, most of them require
Unix to run on. So is there any work around ?

perl should be platform independant.
with a small amount of tweaking, all perl should work accross any platform.
I agree that if you need specific unix commands then this would be a problem
on a win32 platform, but you can normally find win32 versions of these
commands around the web.
flock has problems on windows95 systems, and there are a few slash quirks to
get your head around.
I have many scripts that run on both systems without problems.
The other alternative would be to get a cheap PC and install unix. Network
them together and bingo!

Oh no! The marketers have hit on yet another ploy.
Pretend to advertise for programmers, but really get more
customers instead, with much less flamage than would normally
be gotten had they just advertised for customers in a programming
newsgroup in the first place.
Those guys (and gals) are crafty!

Message-Id: <378FB1C0.4058@XXXtechnologist.com>
Problem: how can a CGI read files on another server?
Hello
I have this problem.
I have different domains on different servers.
Different files with different informations are on each domain.
Now, I would like to use a single CGI on one domain to check
if specific files exist also on the other domains, but I am not able
to do that:
as far as I know, a CGI that is running on one server is able
to read files only in its own domain.
For example:
open (INFILE, "directory/subdir/namefile.txt") does work
but
open (INFILE, "http://www.otherdomain.net/directory/subdir/file.txt")
does not work!
Of course I am not looking for suggestions like
"transfer all your files on all your servers" or
"make many forms, one for each server".
I need a technical solution that allows my CGI to read also
files on other domains.
The visitor would find a field:
FILE TO SEARCH
and then a "select" or "radio button" option
in order to choose between different domains:
CHOOSE DOMAIN WHERE TO SEARCH
and this would be done with a single CGI!
But if the CGI is on one server, it can't read or check
if files exist in the other servers...
How can I solve this problem?

We had a similar problem with a string '07,5,10,06' where we had to remove
the leading
zeroes from each number and stick them in an array, we came up with :-
$x='07,5,10,06';
@list=unpack("I*",pack("I*",(split/,/,$x)));
print "@list\n";
------
However to to it once you may try
$x=~s/^0+// # TMTOWTDI
or
$x+=0

This results in :
Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 1, near "$::sp is"
(Missing operator before is?)
Use of uninitialized value at test.pl line 7, <IN> chunk 1.
However:-

you are still overthinking. gawd, that must hurt! only initialize it
once after its values have meaning. this can be done with a flag or a
test so see if the hash is empty or sub called when the variables are
set, etc.
initializing each time you need it is a waste of good electrons.

Problem:
Let's say a 'testdir' link exists in /usr/local/userx/ and links
to /u05/sectionX/test :
% pwd
/usr/local/userx
the link is like this:
testdir -> /u05/sectionX/test
Currently in the userx dir and chdir testdir.
pwd results in /usr/local/userx/testdir
If I run a Perl script in that directory and try to get the current
working directory I get /u05/sectionX/test. I lost my link info!!!
and it's the link path that I need. Is there a way around this?
I believe this is caused by Perl creating it's own "shell" when it's
executed. The same scenario will happen if you chdir into a link dir
and start a new shell - the current working directory becomes the
actual hard path and the link path is lost.

So fix it.
$hits = int((time() - 850_000_000) / (1_000 * (1-rand)));
BTW what's the use of rand(EXPR), if it gives a result that is exactly

You could look at the code yourself to see. It is, after all, open
source. But I don't see where what I said has anything to do with what
rand() returns, only what rand(0) returns. When the parameter to the
funtion is 0, 1 is used instead. I suppose that is because "rand(0)"
would otherwise always return 0 and that isn't a very random sequence at
all.

stage with this error:
make: Warning: Both `makefile' and `Makefile' exist
`sh cflags libperl.a miniperlmain.o` miniperlmain.c
CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -I/usr/local/include -O
In file included from perl.h:1531,
from miniperlmain.c:11:
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.4/2.8.1/include/math.h:5:
math.h: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `miniperlmain.o'
1) Are there really supposed to be a makefile and a Makefile?
2) If not which should I get rid of and why did they get created?
3) If so why is there a warning about it?
4) The file
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.4/2.8.1/include/math.h DOES
exist on my system?! Why the error and the crash?
Thanks for any help and/or suggestion!

Subject: Where to start with perl programming ?
Message-Id: <7mni8g$hv0$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Hi,
Hopefully you can help.. I am new to perl and I want to learn it,
I am right now learning by examples, but I need some sort of server
to run the scripts.
I have no access to CGI hosting webservers. Can I run the scripts
on my home computer ?
Like can I get a free web server, install it on my Win95, and use
that to run the scripts ? or do I need something else to run it ?
What webserver would you recommend ? where can I find more help ?
Or do you recommend I install some Unix clone or something like
that so that I can run unix pl scripts ?
I really need help starting out and am really lost!
so could you help out please ? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Arpith.

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.
