well you didn't find mine, but mine does this. ( download, upload,
delete, reget. No mkdir yet. I'll put it in real soon ;-)
It's written using Net::FTP and perl-Tk.
The User interface is an object ( package ), so the UI code is nicely
seperated from the rest. ( ie so you could just reuse the code
and make it a batch program or write a different UI )

No version problem, but last time i did try, the Qt lib would not be
linked to the dynamic glue code, hence the undefined symbols at
runtime. To correct this, you may need to recompile the module and add
-lqt somewhere in the Makefile. (or you may event try to use the
LD_PRELOAD environment variable, depending upon your system).

Sounds like something that you could find in the docs, FAQs, and

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I have the following problem:
two modules, P::M1 and P::M2.
P::M1 exports &m1foo and &m1fee under the tag "common".
P::M2 exports &m2foo.
P::M1 uses P::M2 and imports &m2fee.
P::M2 uses P::m1 and imports :common.
P::M1::m1foo calls &m2foo.
P::M2::m2foo calls &m1fee.
A perl program called exptest.pl uses P::M1, imports :common, and calls &m1foo.
The output:
exptest.pl
P::M1: m1foo
P::M2: m2foo
Undefined subroutine &P::M2::m1fee called at P/M2.pm line 16.
http://www.cpan.org/doc/manual/html/pod/perlmod.html#Perl_Modules says the
following:
"In general, use Module () is recommended over require Module, because it
determines module availability at compile time, not in the middle of your
program's execution. An exception
would be if two modules each tried to use each other, and each also called a
function from that other module. In that case, it's easy to use requires
instead."
I don't understand how to use this advise to make my program work. Can anyone
help? Thanks.
Code attached. Please respond by email as well as to the group.

Thats one of the inventions that should have ne ver been made !
I am somebody who always insists on the freedom of speech
which gets useless if nobody listens you.
You can say 10 times silly things and the eleventh one could be a genius
idea.
But with this invention, nowbody would notice. In Europe we had also
things like this (in the dark middle age). Some there taken to the
"PRANGER" where
everybody could spit and lough at them, others were marked with some
signs, so
that they became lower then the normal citizens.
And even guys like hitler denied some
part of the population the right of speech and the systematically closed
the ears of the majority
for the arguments of these (belived) lower human beings. The majority
realy thought
it had the right to first ignore them, later punish them and afterward
kill them.
As we all know, this should better not have happend. I am from austia, a
land that
was part of this regime just a few decades ago, so I am very sensible to
all kinds
of arrogant totalitarism and censorship.
Why do you thing that some other human beeings should just be silenced in
this (or other) newsgoup(s). ???

A person's freedom of speech has nothing to do with my freedom to
ignore said speech --- if nobody listens that does not mean their
freedom of speech is impaired or useless, though perhaps it might
be indicative of the value of what they have said in the past.

Killfiling is not censorship. If I choose to killfile a person, I
will no longer see their posts. This would not affect anyone else
and that person may still be heard by anyone who wants to listen.

I disagree with your reasoning. Freedom of speech comes with
the freedom to choose not to listen. That you are free to speak
does not mean that I am compelled to listen to you.

This is persecution. It has nothing to do with choosing
who to listen to.
>And even guys like hitler denied some

In other words, Hitler *chose* who could be listened to. It's
one thing for *ME* to decide what or who to listen to, it's a very
different thing for the government to make that decision for me.
>Why do you thing that some other human beeings should just be silenced in

I am not silencing someone when I killfile them.
Others are still free to listen to them.

But that isn't the fault of the listeners if they judge you to be not
worth listening to. That is the fault of the speaker for behaving
poorly enough that he gets tuned out.
You may have the freedom to speak your mind, but I have the freedom
to tune you out and not listen.

Why do you think that I should be forced to read what they write? Is
that not also a form of totalitarianism? Particularly if I have placed
them on a scale and found them to be...lacking...
Are you confusing a killfile with an article cancellation? There *is*
a difference.

Though Uri is correct about the differences between normal symbolic
refs and symbolic method names, I still don't think those differences
constitute a good enough reason to exclude method lookup from the
scrutiny of use strict 'refs'.
Warnings of this type should concern themselves with the causes and
outcomes of bugs, not the mechanisms by which those bugs bite.

It was very remiss of me. Perhaps I am a capricious god. Or an OOPS god :-)
Actually, I see the existence of &can as a good reason why symbolic
method calls *ought* to provoke use strict's wrath. Since there's a
safe way to convert a method name to a method reference:
$methodref = $obj->can($methodname);
$obj->$methodref();
the "unsafe" (or perhaps "unintentional") way:
$obj->$methodname();
ought to be flagged.

No, it doesn't. The problem is the variables in the string are
local to the s/// operation, so interpolation of them must take
place within it. It seems like there ought to be a way to tell
Perl, "Interpolate this variable, then interpolate the string
it contains."

Here's a brute-force method that might work for you, but I can't advocate
it, *especially* if you're going to run unknown data through it. It would
be *EXTREMELY* dangerous. In fact, it's so dangerous that it borders on
irresponsibility to even post it. However, information must be free, so if
you're generating the data yourself, and you trust it (and yourself), you
can do this:

$foo = '123-45-6789';
$search = '(\d{3})-(\d{2})-(\d{4})' ;
$replace = 'ID# \1\2\3' ;
my $regex = "(\$record = \$foo) =~ s/$search/$replace/";
# You're not using this code, right? Because here comes the bad part:
# eval $regex; # Do not execute this code. Please.
print "$record\n"; # Thank you for not using this code.
----------------------------
Obviously, if you're accepting input for $replace, and someone gives you
/; system `rm -rf /`; #
Or something equally clever? You'd have to parse their input to be sure it
wasn't malicious, a hairy and awful task. So you should NOT use this
method if you're going to be working with untrusted data.
Like I said, any use of "eval" should throw up blasting red lights and
sirens. I don't know enough about the real, deep-down meat of regexes to
know how to get the string "\1" to interpolate in a replacement clause; it
doesn't act like "$foo", which *will* interpolate. Pick up "Mastering
Regular Expressions" by Jeffrey Friedll, published by O'Reilly, if you want
to go deep.
I'm sure there are better solutions and I'd like to hear them.

Oh you did, did you? Hiding at the end of my copy of the select docs, is
this little snippet;
You can effect a sleep of 250 milliseconds this way:
select(undef, undef, undef, 0.25);
It might be good enough for what you want to do, I don't know, but it's

If you want to attach another file, as opposed to just tacking
some more text onto the bottom of your message, you'll have to
use the MIME specification. There's a very nice MIME::Lite
module available using the ppm program - you are using
ActiveState Perl, aren't you? - that will help you a lot.
And please, in future, turn off MIME in posts to Usenet.
The standard is text-only. You may have to dive deeply into
Microsoft Lookout! Express to find out where the switch is.

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" from
almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu. The real FAQ, as it appeared last in the
newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send perl-users FAQ" from
almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu. 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" from
almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
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.
