:Wrong, but close - right.

Lewis Carroll, _Alice in Wonderland_:

    "When I use a word," said Humpty Dumpty in rather scornful tone,
    "it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more or less."

    The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so
    many different things."

    "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master -
    that is all". 

Me:

    Humpity Dumpity
	says that his words will be
    Meaning whatever he 
	says they will mean.
    But in a day from now
	you'll start to wonder how
    Tricksy those words of ol' 
	Humpty had been.

    Humpity Dumpity,
	This is insanity!
    How can we know what you're 
	meaning to say
    When ev'ry single word
	from you that we have heard
    Changes its meaning the 
	very next day?

Subject: Chopping up a HUGE file
Message-Id: <7ol849$h16$1@gxsn.com>

Hey,

I have a few HUGE files here that I use a script to parse ... my problem is
however, that it is reading these files into arrays, which causes my
computer to just run out of memory ...

The solution to my problem could be to only read a megabyte (or so) into the
array at one time, do its stuff, then read the next megabyte into memory,
and do its stuff, and so on, and so on...

I don't want to chop up the file into many other smaller files before
executing my script - disk space is also an issue  :o)

How would I do this?


Thanks, Andy.

just so you know CGI_LIB.pl is very different from cgi-lib.pl (when I was
looking at add on scripts this through me for a loop).  The CGI_LIB.pl
homepage is at http://www.tneoh.zoneit.com/cgi/upload/ whereas the
cgi-lib.pl homepage is at http://cgi-lib.stanford.edu/cgi-lib/

Firewall? Routers not forwarding udp packets? I don't know.. Maybe you
should ask your sysadmin. Or maybe you should try one of the other
protocols described in the manual of Net::Ping.

That doesn't compile. You need a , after the -9. Are your sure you want
to kill process groups? With a SIGKILL? Shouldn't you first try a more
friendly SIGTERM? And what is the value of $2? You know that you are
interpolating, don't you? If, after you fixed the bugs, it still doesn't
kill what you want it to kill, check $!.

You should read the perlvar documentation to find out what sort of
special meaning setting $/ to '' has for I/O.

# perldoc perlvar
[snip]
     $/      The input record separator, newline by default.
[snip]
             Setting it to "" will treat two or more consecutive
             empty lines as a single empty line.  Setting it to
[snip]

You could call this 'paragraph mode'.  To get the whole file in one
go, you need to set it to undef.

I found the pod for the Thread package, but have not been able to find
the actual module anywhere. It sounds like exactly what I need. I have
been forking up till now, but this has been causing errors in mysql, and
it has 2 much overhead. Anybody know where to get the module, and
possibly how much faster it is to create a thread than to fork?

Subject: Need help with Perl expression and replace
Message-Id: <37AE32A3.4D9C8B08@ERASEjps.net>

I'm trying to make an expression in a script that says somthing like:

If line of text contains <img src="anything" anything> replace it with
<img src=anything anything>.  The anything would be any charactor.

What I'm trying to do is strip any quotes from any IMG tag, but only IMG
tags.  How can I do this in perl?

Right now I'm using a sad hack that looks like this:

$message =~ s/<img src="/<img src=/g;
$message =~ s/gif"/gif/g;
$message =~ s/jpg"/jpg/g;

etc..

Thanks,

in your substitutions above you're not using any of the real power of 
regular expressions .. you should lookup your manual on perlre .. 
specifically the metacharacters built into perl's regex .. read the 
entire perlre document including the part that talks about the 
bracketing construct and you will know how to very simply accomplish 
your task

you can get to the manual on most operating systems with the command

  perldoc perlre

Odd. Most ISPs didn't even exists by the time perl4 was a dead and buried
carcas. But since you have the ability to install files, (how else do
you run your webboard?) you can easily install perl5 yourself. There's
no excuse for "being stuck" with perl4.

Of course, the appropriate thing to do would be to create a newsgroup.
Way, way, way, way, way better interface than you even get with a browser.

Consider leaving your ISP anyway. Having perl4 is a huge security hole.


And address munging is evil. Only wussies do that.

Subject: simple perl GTK example needed
Message-Id: <7olb5q$9lg$1@shell9.ba.best.com>

I have a problem.  I don't do 'C', or not very well, at least, and
therefore, don't know GTK (though in a past life I did some Win MFC).
So, I been attempting to use the perl Gtk module, for which there is no
real documentation, but there are some examples.

The problem with the examples, distributed with the module, is that is
leaps from a simple one button window example that uses shortcuts to a
more complicated 20 button example written in entirely different manner.
There are some other examples, too, but many of the examples have varying
levels of abstraction, and written too independently of each other (no 
building up) that along with the lack of good module docs is got
me seriously confused.

I have been comparing the perl gtk examples with the 'C' gtk
tutorial/manual I have, but the perl gtk abstraction is too much for me to
get things right.
 
What I would like to see is a very simple gtk perl module exapmle with a
window, text input widget and 2 buttons, preferrably written in the perl
OOP style, with as little abstraction and shortcutting as possible.

If you have such a beast and could pass it along I would appreciate it
very much.  Also, if you have other tips or informative code examples that
you wish to pass along, please do.

thank you.

That's what I get for not testing my code. 

BTW, you sent me an e-mail copy that was not marked as such, and despite
my headers containing 'Mail-Copies-To: never'.

There's no such thing as Web Perl. Who ever told you so fooled you.

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.
