Hi Scientia,
I agree with all on this thread that this is not a Perl related question. It
is more of a CGI question, and it would help you to know the difference for
your own sake, as you would get real answers instead of piqued members.
However, one thing you might like to try is to MAP the ".html" extension to
Perl in your registry, this is what I have seen some businesses do to make
the technology they use less transparent. When the ".html" extension (or any
other) is mapped to Perl, it will be executed as Perl code, so make sure you
have Perl code inside it.
Personally, I am not a major fan of this method, but the businesses I
mentioned use ".htm" for their general HTML pages.
Also note that if you use an ISP, it is *very* unlikely that he would agree
to map such a generically used extension as html to Perl.
HTH,
Shashank

Subject: Can't compile DBD::Pg under IRIX 5.3 (possible repost sorry, having probs with Deja)
Message-Id: <7n9r11$ma5$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Dear All,
This is a synopsis of a post I made to the DBI and postgreSQL newsgroups.
I got a probable answer to what the problem was but no solution.
Perhaps I'll have more luck here!
I still have not been able to compile DBD::Pg under IRIX 5.3 for a system
running postgreSQL 6.4.0.
I used to have a system running DBI 1.02 and DBD::Pg 0.79 but I wanted to
upgrade to get better support for NULLs.
I'd be very grateful for a cc: to stuart@ludwig.ucl.ac.uk (but I'll live
without one).
I tried the following:
1) Updated to DBI 1.19 with no problems
2) Tried -unsuccessfully- to update to DBD::Pg 0.92
3) Read the README and found out the DBD::Pg 0.92 is only compatible with
postgreSQL 6.4.2 onwards
4) Uninstalled DBD::Pg 0.92 and tried -unsuccessfully- to install DBD::Pg
0.89 (the latest version compatible with postgreSQL 6.4.0)
5) Posted post I to dbi-users and pgsql-interfaces
6) Got an answer from Dana suggesting there may be an incompatibility
issue
between newer/current versions of DBI and older versions of DBD::Pg
7) Uninstalled DBI 1.13 and successfully reinstalled DBI 1.02 (dates seem
to suggest that that is the most recent DBI compatible with DBD::Pg 0.89)
8) Tried -unsuccessfully- to install DBD::Pg 0.89
in all cases where the DBD::Pg (0.89 and 0.92) install failed (2,4 and
8),
I get the same error message (of course with a different line number for
0.89 and 0.92):

I have NO idea what a perl XS compiler is or does but I was curious as to
wether anybody had experienced similar dificulties compiling DBD::Pg
under IRIX 5.3 with native cc... problem is I don't have gcc!
Anybody got a workaround??
More system details follow.

The version available from the gnome cvs server has a tool for
producing the reference documentation from the source (and special
comments therin). You may check the result at:
http://www.lettere.unipd.it/~lupus/perl-gtk-ds.html
and
http://www.lettere.unipd.it/~lupus/perl-gtk-ref.html
I'll write soon a small doc with the instructions on how to add
documentation to the sources: meanwhile you can check the code.
Constributions in this area are welcome:-)
Also, I have modified my local copy of the gtk+ C tutorial to conditionally
include examples from languages other than C: if someone has the time to
convert the examples I can include them and we get a tutorial almost for
free:-)

Hi,
OS: DOS
PERL FOR DOS
I need to write a script that
will detect when a new file is written
to a subdirectory. the script then outputs
the file to my com port.
I tried the following pseudo-code procedure.
for (;;)
{
open directory
read dir
close directory
for each file in dir
{
if file does not begins with "."
{
system "printcom.bat".
}
}
}
the program stops after a while with
the message "out of memory!".
this could be a message that comes from
the bat file of from perl.
Is this loop system the wrong way to go?
any help is welcome.

Message-Id: <7n9qbu$err$1@autumn.news.rcn.net>
Hello and good day...
I have a personal website that focuses on my hobbies, and I am looking to
have a script that manages a list of players and who collects sports
memorabilia of that player. I need to know how to do this:
Have the script look for a html comment with the player's name, then insert
a comment at the end if the player's name is not already in one (if no one
else has selected the player yet). Then it would need to insert the form
input after the comment - if it found the comment or created it. Basically,
"search for text, create text if it doesn't already exist, and insert form
contents after the text." This seems relatively simple - but I am
inexperienced with CGI and I can't find anything like this in any of my
books(which seem to have everything else in the world) or online resources.
I would greatly appreciate a response and would give full credit with the
script and on my website(if this means anything to you), if not, I would
just kiss your feet eternally =]
Thanks, this is greatly appreciated.

The first line of program.pl does not contain the right-path-to-perl.
For instance, your perl might be located in /usr/local/bin/perl, and
the script contains:
#!/usr/bin/perl
which doesn't exist -- no such file or directory...

"producing" means when you run it, what goes to the screen.

unless (/^#/) {} is legal expression just to demonstrate the problem.
Whether it looks weird or not is not my concern, and also it is very
subjective. My concern is where is the problem.
According to your logic, then replacing "unless (/^#/){}"
with "if ( not /^#/ ) {}" or "if (/^#/){}" should also produce "1"
but the latter two do not. Can you tell me why? Thanks.

Yes download the Perl for Win32 from <http://www.activestate.com> and
install it - it will set up an entry in the Start Menu which points to the

Message-Id: <37982D37.E1F3E649@alcatel.be>
I have a Perl script that can takes a while to do its job, which
may involve reading lots of files.
Is there a way my script could update the browser window status
bar as it progresses, e.g. '10% of files scanned', '20% of files
scanned', ... 'Done'?

It operates server side, and it cannot talk to the browser that way....
when you have processed and returned the page, you can virtually
display 10% ... 100% after a particular delay (doesn't have any

Nasim,
Excuse me if I am talking nonsense here, but ...
Since the script prints out HTML as it progresses, and the
browser shows intermediate results as they arrive, this is
a very common case with slow or long pages - why couldn't
a piece of HTML arriving on the browser side trigger the update
of status window?
OK, of course this could be just impossible, not supported
by browsers, etc..
David.

Perl cannot do it - simple. A CGI program written in any language has
no access to the browser object model as exposed to, say Javascript,VBScript
or whatever ... Even if you had a CGI Program print out a client side
script - this is likely not to be interpreted until the entire page is
downloaded. Anyhow I drift off-topic. You should ask in one of:
comp.infosystems.authoring.cgi
comp.infosystems.authoring.html
comp.lang.javascript
about this.

There is a method I saw in the book: CGI Programming with Perl
(from ORA at www.ora.com)
It has to do with animation but is not supported by all browsers

On any system worth talking about you can open a printer just like another
file or you can open a pipe to some program that will do the printing
for you ....
For example on Unix:
open(PRINTER,"|/usr/bin/lpr") || die "Cant do printer - $!\n";
print PRINTER "Yabadabadoo\n";
close PRINTER;
On Windows:
open(PRINTER,"LPT1") || die "Cant do printer - $!\n";
print PRINTER "Yabadabadoo\n";
close PRINTER;
Etc Etc ...

I usually use something like this when going through a HTML page in

$mail = '([^":\s<>()/;]*@[^":\s<>()/;]*)';
or i go for all <a href tags,
$hrefsearch = '<\s*a\b[^>]+\bhref\s*=\s*(?:["\']?)([^>\s"\']+)';

This is pretty easy and I'm sure it's in an FAQ section.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my @a1 = qw(3 6 4 7);
my @a2 = qw(2 2 3 3);
my @a3 = qw(6 1 5 2);
my @a4 = qw(1 2 4 3);
my @a5 = qw(4 1 6 2);
my @array = (\@a1,\@a2,\@a3,\@a4,\@a5);
#assuming a numeric sort
my @sarray = sort { $a->[0] <=> $b->[0] } @array;
foreach (@sarray) {
print "first element of subarray = ",$$_[0],"\n";
}
Go and look at perlref as well as the FAQ.

That's very inefficient. It's better to modify the scalar inplace than
create a list you don't need.
One way is
($nolines = $input_from_form) =~ s/\n/ /g;
but whenever you are changing only one character you should use tr which
is even faster.
($nolines = $input_from_form) =~ tr/\n/ /;

Com port handling varies significantly by OS. For Windows,
you would use the Win32::SerialPort module. Un*x varieties

And I did copy that one directly out of the book since my connection to the

which might clear up some of the questions and doesn't any looping issues.

How about it occurring every time right now. Review the stack trace below
and you will see that the problem is quite clear. It is the resolution
that I am concerned with. I've decided to write a small extension that
will give me access to the c function waitpid() that doesn't call malloc().
What I can't understand is how this hasn't been a serious problem for
developers. And I wonder why any form of wait was written that could ever
result in a call to malloc(). This would appear to be an serious
oversight. Perhaps the waitpid code was generated with some generalized
package to incorporate C functions rather than being written by hand ? And
of course I'd like to see this addressed in the next release.
I'm a consultant and my use of this 'buggy non-standard language' (quoting
co-workers) has been not been well received. What could have been another
significant commercial project to report has turned into a problem.
Unfortunately, it took me a while to trace it to this point.
Below is the bug report earlier this week. No response yet.
Philip
- - - - -
Calling waitpid() from my SIGCHLD signal handler is resulting in a malloc()
which then crashes the program. Relinking with dmalloc, a debugging
malloc implementation, resulted in the following output and stack trace.
I've tried to ensure that my code doesn't do any dynamic allocation. I
assume that assignments to existing array elements should not result in
dynamic allocation or call other non-reentrant code.
If I can get around this problem perl will be in production automating
the loading a medium size data warehouse for a global company :)

But it won't work on "vanilla" MS-DOS. It relies on features
introduced in Win95.
There is a gentleman in Japan who is working on limited COM
port support for the djgpp-built version of Perl - but he has not
yet released results.

Print directly to the com port
: the baud rate must be 9600. How can i set this in a perl program
This is a DOS question. Print the appropriate command(s)
directly to the com port.

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.
