I sense a major and potentially dangerous misunderstanding. Observe:
$ cat t1
#!/usr/bin/perl -T
system('date');
__END__
$ perl t1
Too late for "-T" option at t1 line 1.
$ cat t2
#!/usr/bin/perl-T
system('date');
__END__
$ perl t2
Wed Aug 18 19:12:48 BST 1999
Does this mean that removing the space before the flag in t2 has fixed
the problem? No. See:
$ ./t1
Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at ./t1 line 3.
$ ./t2
bash: ./t2: No such file or directory
The -T flag must be passed to the Perl compiler. In the first
two invocations above, no flags are supplied to the compiler on the
command line, but it reads the shebang line itself to figure out what
flags to use. In the first one, it sees the -T flag, and gives the
warning which is explained in perldiag. In the second invocation,
it sees a shebang line which appears to ask for the running of a
program called '/usr/bin/perl-T' without any flags. The fact that the
program name contains the magic string 'perl' is enough to prevent
the compiler handing over to another program (see perlrun for the
slightly counter-intuitive details). Since no flags were supplied,
taint checking isn't used, and it runs the 'date' command from my PATH.
In the third invocation above, the kernel itself (this is on Unix)
arranges to run Perl with the -T flag, so taint checking takes place,
as you can see from the error message (as always, this is explained
in perldiag). In the fourth invocation, the kernel tries to run the
program /usr/bin/perl-T, which doesn't exist.
I searched deja for the bad advice you say you were given, but I can't
find it. I see you asking the question and getting four replies.
One is an explicit pointer to perldiag, one is a request for more
info, one is a clear explanation, and the remaining one is a bit
of (correct) advice. Try as I might, I can't figure out how you
interpreted any of the response the way you did. Did you read the
relevant entry in perldiag? If you found it unclear, can you suggest
a re-wording which removes the difficulty?

Ummm. You should learn this, however: If it has "Matt's Script Archive"
or "Solena Sol" attached to it, it's probably broken, defective, ineficient,
insecure or some combination of the above.
If you never need to learn languages, you should instead hire someone who
does.

a.k.a. Randal Schwartz and Tom Christiansen :)
I wonder why there isn't more use of videoconferencing technology in
training. Is the cost prohibitive still? We used it at BBN and I thought
it was terrific. I believe this genre is called 'distance learning' in
the trade.
And the net already has a whole slew of Perl docs and such for free.
http://www.perl.com is a excellent place to start.
Also, I do believe Randal, Tom, Joseph, et al, offer open classes as
well as on-site training.

both of these companies do open training sessions if there is
sufficient interest in an area. there is also perltraining.com.
see who is in your area.
each company has contact information on their web pages.

from a small training company the cost would be a lot more than
that. O'Reilly can offer inexpensive courses because they are
a big company. you might consider giving O'Reilly feedback on
their courseware as well.

Subject: Perl and DBM file questions
Message-Id: <37BAE8ED.84EBB983@uow.edu.au>
Hi,
I would like to have a DBM file that has fixed sized records - these
will simply be indexed by their record number (no sorting or
anything). Each record would be around the 1/2k mark in size.
Records will need to be added and deleted.
Would Perl's DBM files be able to handle around 300,000 to 500,000 of
these records? How will perl deal with accessing records - I'm just
concerned about memory. If I get perl to retrieve record 200,000 does
perl simply go to that record directly and retrieve it, or does it need
to load much more into memory to access that record.
Are there good examples on DBM files of this size and how to use them
efficiently?
Thanks for any help
Geoff

This sounds like it may be a good application for a tied array rather than
a hash, using DB_File's DB_RECNO interface method. If you have DB_File,
see its documentation: it includes an example of using DB_RECNO.

no easy way that i know of. the problem is you have to create the
key/value pairings. an anon hash can't do that directly unless you merge
the name list with the value list and that is more code. this is
simpler.
i remember a thread a while back where something like this was done and
even randal used a named hash. creating an array of hashes from just
rows of value data can't be compressed much more that that.
if perl had some wacko operator that alternated values of two lists it
could be done like this:
push @results, { alternate( [ qw( rank file title group ) ],
[ (split /\t/ )[0,1,2,5] ] ) } ;
but that is pretty ugly and needs anon arrays to separate the lists
which is wasted overhead. so one of the issues is how to you mark with
syntax two lists as being related. so the named hash starts to look optimal.
and make sure the my %h is inside the loop so it get reallocated each
time through.

You can do it, but you wouldn't want to:
push @results, { rank => (split /\t/)[0], file => (split /\t/)[1],
title => (split /\t/)[2], group => (split /\t/)[5] };
You did say "without using a temporary hash", so
my @f = split /\t/;
push @results, { rank => $f[0], file => $f[1],
title => $f[2], group => $f[5] };
or
my @keys;
@keys[0,1,2,5] = qw( rank file title group );
my @f = split /\t/;
push @results, { map { ($keys[$_], $f[$_]) } 0, 1, 2, 5 };
would work too.
What's so bad about the temporary hash?

I'm having trouble restoring values from previous cgi runs and making them

I have figured out that textfield names are restorable with the
'import_names()' command. However, I can't seem to figure out how to
restore variables. If I construct $a, how do I recall it on the second pass
of the same script? Can I also use these restored variables to do
computation?
[I'm trying to build a quizmaster for adding signed Integers. I can get
everything looking nice but I can't seem to check the answers for
correctness nor can I report it to the user on the second pass through the

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. All the online help-forms

variables on the second pass.]

You just pass hidden form fields with that information and assign that value to
a variable. You set it up like this.
if $in{'formfield'} {$var =$in{'formfield'} }
else {$var = "text or number"}
This assigns the value of the form field whether it be text, hidden or whatever
to the variable "$var" - if there is no form field defined (as in the first
run), then it assigns a value to it.

I have seen this error reported before but I have not heard the

FWIW, I am using SNMP-1.8.1 with ucd-snmp-3.6.2 w/ perl5.004_05 and
5.005_03 on linux, Solaris, and win32.
Can you give more details about your setup, versions etc.
I would very much like to solve this (got me curious).
in general it is very easy to make and install the ucd-snmp toolkit
which is highly portable and full featured. The benefits of being able
to parse the mib and use the symbolic names from the mib in your perl
code are obvious - not to mention the performance benefit over all-perl
solutions.
good luck, GSM

AVS is used by financial institutions to aid in verifying
credit card transactions. implementing it depends on the
particular (financial institution) processor that you will
use. Cybercash, for instance, has a Perl API with this
stuff built in, although other vendors might do it differently.

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.
