W4y K3wl!!!! ! I think you should go for a .cgi TLD which would be just
like wicked man infact once you have got the go ahead from IANA and have
set up the nameservers I'll go for gellyfish.cgi cuz then 'vryone will

Hello
for reasons that is would be impossible to explain here,
I should make a certain file.html executable:
I can't change its name to file.cgi .
Of course I could make a HTML redirection from such file
to a executable cgi file.
However I would like to know if it is possible somehow to make
it executable itself, although it has a .html extension
Thanks

Well, you didn't say what OS you use, so I had to guess.

It was pretty obvious that this wasn't a Perl language question, but
this is the first indication you gave that this is a WWW question.
usenet is divided up into a lot of groups according to the relevance of
the discussions that take place there.

You might be confused about how to tell a web server what to do with it.
If so, you might get more-useful results by consulting the configuration
instructions for the web server that you use, and taking up any
remaining questions on the appropriate comp.infosystems.www.servers.*
group. On unix, the OS itself doesn't care about filename extensions:
they're used by the web server according to how you configure it.
If you're struggling with something from the evil empire, then you may
find you have more of a problem, but it's not one that Perl language
discussions could help you with.
good luck

I would use something that does things in this order:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI qw(:standard);
$| = 1;
if (my $pid = fork)
{
print header,start_html("Blah blah");
print h1('Away we go ...');
print end_html();
close STDIN;
close STDOUT;
}
else
{
close STDIN;
close STDOUT;
for (1 ... 100000 )
{
sleep 1;
}
}
I know this *does* work.

Sorry to have offended - I've been reading this group for a while now
before posting (trying to do the right thing), and the average response
time seems to be under a few hours.
> I would use something that does things in this order:

This does not seem to yield the intended results on my system (UNIX
System V Release 4.0, perl version 5.005_02 built for sun4-solaris). It
prints the "Away we go" text, but the connection persists, does not
close.
Maybe exec() is what I need instead of forking. I'll try that.

I'm not sure how you managed to infer that, but if it would make you

How do you check this ? By looking at the 'Stop' button of your browser,
or because it doesn't tell you 'Done' in the status line ?
Maybe you simply have your Keep-alive set in HTTP, and there's
nothing wrong with the script itself (as Abigail 'suggested').

Except he perhaps betrayed some knowledge of this possibility by setting
his X-No-Archive: header. Of course this doesnt mean he can get away
with it totally if the entire post is quoted in full - or the fact that
some usenet archives dont respect that header, or the fact that the post
may stay on the disk here until I can no longer afford the disk space and
of course with the price of diskspace now I dont think that is going

Personally, I've found X-No-Archive to be relatively useless. Yes,
the major USENET archives tend to honor it. On the other hand,
the popular groups are almost invariably also gatewayed to bulk-mailing
lists, where the tag is ignored. So, if you don't find it using
Deja or Altavista, then you'll almost always find it on Yahoo
or one of the bot engines. C.l.p is no different, in this
respect. ( Not that I don't use X-N-A myself, in the vain hope
that I can maintain a seperation between home and work. :-)
I also should have mentioned that if I don't find anything on the
net about a particular candidate, then I ask them why, since a
developer who doesn't make use of the net these days is, shall we
say, of questionable abilities to make use of the resources available
to them. Privacy is certainly a legitimate concern, in which case I
try to evaluate how well they actually use the net, instead of proclaiming
their greatness there. :-)

Well, have you tried contacting the author of 'news.pl' ?
I'm sure if it's a worthwhile piece of code, the author will be indicated
in the script itself. Or there may even be some documentation for that
script somewhere... If not, try using another script :-)

At work, I've recently been asked to write a Perl function which will
prevent our competitors from logging on to one of our web pages
(which would be done via a CGI script).
Someone suggested checking the IP address of people who log onto the site
with a list of our competitors' IP addresses, and determining access
legibility that way.
How would I do this?
Any ideas as to other ways I could tackle this problem?

Probably wouldn't be worth the effort because:-
a) Dynamic IP addresses
b) Homeworkers
c) Silly idea!

Seems pretty difficult, to keep only a few people out. Besides, what's to stop
people from using another connection to check out your website, if they're
determined ? If you do have confidential information, don't put it on the web
at all, or place it in a restricted area and let people sign a non-disclosure
agreement before giving out the password...
For what it's worth,
Michel.

Been there, done that. You'll get the same result if you try to import
directly into an Access database via the Access application. Some MS
idiocy going on, I'm sure.
Anyway.
You've got to tell DBI to use a certain data type when dealing with
memo fields.
use DBI qw/SQL_LONGVARCHAR/;
$sth = $dbh->prepare(q{INSERT INTO TableName (memofieldname) VALUES
(?)}) || die $dbh->errstr;
$sth->bind_param( 1, $a_long_string, { TYPE => SQL_LONGVARCHAR });
$sth->execute || $dbh->errstr;
}
That should do it.

{chomp(@array = <CONF>)}

You should read the documentation for the Webserver which should be already
on your machine. If you have further problems with this issue in particular
they should be addressed to the newsgroup comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix

Gosh, I just decided not to answer the very same question when I saw it
posted separately to the unix servers group, calling for an email reply.

I think the questioner needs a bit more understanding of HTTP content
type before the documentation could tell them anything that they could
understand.

With respect, I don't think so; the content-type returned by a CGI
process is determined primarily by the CGI process, not by the server
configuration. I'd say they ought to be on c.i.w.a.cgi, after
consulting the relevant FAQs. Actually, this one would do fine:
http://www.stack.nl/htmlhelp/faq/html/media.html#garbled-media
if read creatively. But working up from a simple CGI tutorial might be
the best way of understanding the concepts involved.
However, as the questioner asked for email, one might suppose they don't
read FAQs. Too bad, they'll never see the advice to check on
news.announce.newusers for helpful information about the netiquette.
The questioner could also benefit greatly from the available advice on
determining which group(s) to post to, how to use crossposting when it's
appropriate, and how to compose a meaningful subject line.

It's much more interesting to fence a square mile with a pole at every

acre within that square mile -- that one's even more fun. :-)

Presuming $lines contain several lines, you can use 'split' to split it :
@lines = split("\n",$lines);
But usually, you would open a file and handle it line by line, like :
open(FILE,"<$file") || die "Can't open file $file : $!";
while (<FILE>) {
# $_ contains the current line, so do something with it...
}
close(FILE);
Have some fun, read the manual,
Michel.

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.
