You could use rdist or mirror [written in Perl] or you could go find the

Below is the section of the relevant code that I think
is wrong.
elsif ($action =~ /delete/i) {
open (LIST,
">/usr/local/apache/htdocs/tickers.$list.txt") || die $!;
flock LIST, 2;
seek LIST, 0, 2;
@tickers = split / /,($page->param(tickers));
for (@tickers) {
s/$_/ /g;
}
--
@tickers contains the tickers that need to be deleted. You need to read
lines from LIST
and form an existing ticker array, @existing_tickers. Then you need to
delete from
@existing_tickers all those elements that appear in @tickers. Then write
it out
to LIST after seeking to the beginning of the file. I do not see any
statement
that write to LIST in this code in the 'delete' case. Also checking
errors for flock()
will be a good idea.

Message-Id: <37B451FC.DE302015@pct.edu>
Running netware 5 server, 256 ram, 500 PIII processor, Novonyx (netscape

[snipped: parse stuff]
$url = $FORM{'url'};
if ($url eq "")

else

it should take you to the $url if $url ne "".. right? wrong.. instead,
it prints
"Location: http://www.pct.edu/homepage/facustaf.htm" in the browsers
main viewing window. seems like the server is sending out a content

any ideas?

Sounds like your Web Server is adding it's own HTTP headers....
Normally i have to specify my own headers when printing to the browser:
sub startHTML {
print "HTTP/1.0 200 Ok\n";
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html>\n<html>\n <head>..........[snip]";
When i do what your trying to do i use this:
#######################################################
# Forward to a new HTML document
sub jumpTo {
my($page) = @_;
print "HTTP/1.0 302 Found\n";
print "Location: $page\n\n";
exit 0;
}
Hope this helps....

Actually, if you use ActiveState's PerlScript ActiveX component, you can
use Perl from within ASP pages as you would VBScript or JScript.
Therefore, you are benefiting from both aspects.

messes this up.
I tried to use double quotes event escaped them (\") but than the SQL

You can use the Data::Dumper module to do this. What this will do
this is print the hash to a file in a way that an eval() on the contents
of this file will recreate the hash. Please refer to the documentation
of this module for more information.

So, let's see if I understand your assertion. If I have systems named
a.example.com and b.example.com, and I send mail to a from b, I am using
someone else's mail server? Or am I using a another machine's mail
server? Do you grok the difference?
And now please explain what you think is wrong in using someone else's
mail server. You better not be too convincing.

You've been out in the sun too long.
Darryl, I think the surprising answer is that the example in the cookbook
is wrong. A quick look at the errata doesn't reveal anything, but the
line shown above will result in an 'odd number of elements in hash
assignment' error. This is because Mail::Mailer tries to assign the
list of arguments after the first to a hash. As you discovered, you
need to:
my $mailer = Mail::Mailer->new('smtp', Server => $mail_server);
Sometimes even the best books are wrong! When there's a discrepancy,
always trust the module's own documentation.

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.
