I think Randal did that in one of his first WebTechniques columns. Yes, it
looks like column number two has something pretty near to what you need.

OK,
I've read the Dummies book, Have now been able to successfully

novice perl programmer. The trouble is, I know how to program HTML,
but I can't figure how to implement perl into it. I can't even
figure out how to make "Hello World" display correctly as shown in the

Can someone please give me the steps to generate a beginners CGI

Hello,
I now after 6months of perl consider myself an informed novice
regarding PERL. However, I can't seem to figure out how to implement
scripts into an HTML page. If you are using IIS, do you have to jump

Yes. /\004/ is a regex, and it tests $_, which probably wasn't set. USe
my $tst = join "\004", qw(one two three);

SEND ONLY ANSWERS ENDORIGINAL Body IS:To get at data of
varying lengths, you should use Perl regular expressions. You
do not specify enough information to understand what exactly
is the problem in manipulations. Lines like 1 04/12/99 X-RAY
KNEE AP.LAT W/OBLIQ 77.00 I: 26.76- 50.24- Can be matched by
regex like m|(\d+) (\d\d/\d\d/\d\d) (.*) (\d+\.\d*) I: ([\d.-
]+) ([\d.-]+)| from which you can then pull out the data
through $1..$9 If this is not yet enough detail, ask again and
explain more precisely what the trouble is. To print a file in
different fonts: there are *lots* of ways. For instance, you
can convert it into e.g. TeX and ask TeX to change the font, or
you can write it as postscript.

The readme document states first of all that you should never try to compile
the dbi module inside of your perl directory structure. Unzip it outside of
the directory structure you are going to have problems.
I

Do you have a compiler installed on your system?

This is going to happen since the module was not compiled or installed.
There are pre-compiled modules available, perhaps you should try to install
one of those.
Your best bet is to find a pre-compiled version of DBI if you are not
familiar with compiling or do not have a compiler on your system

It sounds as if you need to configure your webserver. That's beyond the
scope of this newsgroup, of course. But you should check the docs, FAQs,
and newsgroups about your webserver and webservers in general. If you (or
anyone else reading this) doesn't know what those are or how to find them,
please let me know. Cheers!

Where did you get the filename? Was it returned by readdir and friends?
Whatever filename you get from readdir should be suitable for lstat.
Perl is (or should be) calling the underlying system to ask about that
file. If the system can't handle the names of its own files, something is
wrong. But maybe you should file a bug report, just in case.
Good luck with it!

There are too many counter-examples from various processors' instruction
sets to be worth listing. Get a DEC-10 programmer to explain to you
what the JUMP instruction did (or didn't do). But if you want a language
in which every keyword is clearly derived from an English word, I suggest
you give up on both Perl and assembler and switch to COBOL.

If your server doesn't have the LWP modules, then install them. Or
have someone install them. If you don't want to use LWP, look at the

bin/3com/avantgo_sub/entry.pl ) that does not update
the current information unless you click on refresh.
When you type in a city name or zip code, it displays
the info. for the previous entry. If you click on
refresh, then the info. for the recent zip or city
displays. Thsi site runs on APACHE webserver
Ex. First, enter a zip coder (or city name) "30087"
Nothing happens.
Next, enter another zip code "31792"
The information for "30087" displays.
Click refresh (at the bottom of the screen) and
the right info appears for "31792"
Does anyone have a possible solution for this problem. Thanks
for your help.

Is that the problem, that the webpage doesn't refresh without a request
from the remote user? It doesn't sound like a Perl problem; your Perl code
seems to be doing what you asked of it, and the problem would be the same
if you were using another programming language.
Maybe you should look for the docs, FAQs, and newsgroups about sending
information over the web to see whether there's a different way of doing
what you want. If you (or anyone else reading this) don't know what those
things are or where to find them, let me know. Cheers!

Some small fixes for portability. Thanks to Chris Nandor for testing
this on the Macintosh. The namespace thing hasn't quite got resolved
yet, the PAUSE folks are busy upgrading the PAUSE itself. Meanwhile,
it is available from
ftp://pause.kbx.de/pub/from.CPAN/authors/id/D/DH/DHUDES/Net-Whois-1.001.tar.
gz since it isn't on the regular CPAN even under my author ID.
If you are interested in my set of scripts for name server audit,
which uses this version of Net::Whois, let me know and I will clean
them up and put them up on CPAN as well.

The best place to get the win32 FAQ (and all the other docs too) is by
doing the amazingly easy install of ActiveState Perl. Download the file
from www.activestate.com; click on it so it will install itself; note
where on your Start Menu it sticks the 'on-line documentation'; then
click
there and get the HTML version of the docs, in your favorite browser, on
your personal machine. Scroll down the left-hand frame and you'll find
the
ActivePerl FAQ.. and much more.
There are tons of short programs and code snippets scattered throughout
the docs. And you can find lots more by looking in the archives of
the win32 Perl mailing lists at ActiveState. Subscribe to one or two
of those mailing lists, and see new code every day [the bad code usually
gets corrected in short order].
HTH,
David

Subject: Pattern Matching +
Message-Id: <7onek4$190$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
I am currently displaying an HTML document that contains $keyword.
What I have done so far is replace every occurence of $keyword with the
same $keyword but bold and as a different color.
I am having a hard time trying to find a way to only display 5 words
prior to and 5 words after the $keyword (with the $keyword included).
As an example, the output would be as such:
Tom went to the flea $keyword and bought some nice products.
I understand that this might be tricky since a sentence can include
commans, semi-colons, etc. I would like for the pattern to take this
into consideration also.
I am still fairly new to perl, so please be patient if my explanations
and choice of words are screwy.
Thank You all for the help.
Sincerely,
CLH

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.
