However, for binaries, there's [Archived: 24 Dec 1997]
<URL:http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Languages/perl-5.004_04/>

<blush>

And, of course, there's CPAN.

I gave up on HP, and just built and installed my first perl, 5.005_03, 
from CPAN source, on an HP-UX 9000/735 workstation running HP-UX 9.05.  
Ancient OS, new perl.  Runs just fine!

If you do it badly.  You'll be interested in a good answer to
this, which is already in the Perl FAQ.  Specifically, the 
answer to:

"How do I compute the difference of two arrays?  How do I compute 
the intersection of two arrays?"

You'd have to deal with such arcana as singular vs. plural
words [see Lingua::EN::Inflect module], uppercase vs lowercase
[see the uc and lc functions], and some parsing issues [see
all the parsing and parser-like modules at CPAN].

Yeah, since in this case 'being a hypen within a \d+(-\d+)* match'
and 'being a hyphen between two digits' happen to be equivalent.
(pretty sure about that, at least)

Is there a cleaner solution other than a s///-within-s///e
for more general regexes than /\d+(-\d+)*/ and /-/, though?

Ooh.  Alex, you have given some good help today, but this is
not one of them.  Can you even get this to compile?

I didn't think so.  Please please please, learn from this
mistake [and those that I have made], and *always* test your
code before you post it.  'Unguaranteed' code from someone
who is supposed to know the answer is going to be treated as
'perfect' code by the naive reader.

HAND,

Yes, I did try it and I got some screwed up output.  My print statement
currently is in a foreach loop.  I'm using the CGI module to output to
a web page.  The print statement looks as follows:

foreach $x (@$rows) {
print "<tr><td valign=middle align=center width=15%>$pmonth&nbsp;";

$pmonth is the result of an equation within my script.  It will output
the revenue dollars per month. My question is "where do I put the printf
(%.2f, etc) function if my "print" is in a foreach loop.

Thanks.

In this case, the appropriate nesgroups would be misc.jobs.offered and (if
it exists) mtl.jobs.

Some are born programmers, some achieve programming, and some have 
programming thrust upon 'em.

Too many of the latter these days, I trow!  But there is lots of hope 
for the middle class, especially with modern tools and with this kind of 
newsgroup support.

Bravo!  Bravo!

And you expect disagreement in *this* newsgroup?

BTW, why is it acceptable to tell people that they have no
athletic ability, no musical ability, etc., but you 
are a creep if you try to tell someone they have no gift
for programming?

More seriously, I find "political correctness" to be more
often asssociated with censorship than with sensitivity.

But, as the person HC was complaining about, let me defend
him.  He did have the sense to take this off-line.  And he
did have the guts to discuss this with me personally, instead
of hiding behind an alias.  And we didn't come to the e-mail
equivalent of 'pistols at twenty paces' either.  And he did
actually write real Perl code [that actually runs] to help
the original poster.  So I vote for giving him a break.  Today,
anyway.  :-)

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.
