Hi Folks
I was wondering if somebody can show me how you can write a
bidirectional client using select statements in Perl. I am using Perl
5.005_03 on a Linux box.
I know how to do it using fork statements...
Many thanks in advance.
Richard

I'll tell you what, my man. So far I've been doing my XML processing with
Java and Perl. On Windows, MacOS and Linux - same libraries, same
scripts/programs. I'm easy - just email or post your XML VBScript or WSH
code, and I'll give that a whirl on all three platforms.

How do you check to make sure a variable only has numbers in it. I know
how to tell if it has number in it but how do you check to make sure it
doesn have any other characters in it like a , t , $, ^, etc. I am going
to write a program for mysql but that requires certain types so I need
to know how to verify the variables first before storing them in the
database. Also a character can be anything right like a, t , $, % etc
right?

Looks good, what is nbstat? I couldn't find any file named nbstat in

Subject: LWP: How do I retrieve a page that requires login + passwd
Message-Id: <87btbep0e4.fsf@rosebud.sps.queensu.ca>
I'd like to write a simple script to retrieve day-end fund prices from a
service provided by the local newspaper. Upon registration, you can setup a
portfolio. Upon login, the current values are presented with returns etc. All
is well, but to manual with Netscape. Hence Perl for an automatic retrieval.
I had some luck with LWP and simpler data-gathering jobs. I have gone trough
the docs, tried examples, scratched my head. I'd appreciate clues, or else
examples.
Thanks, Dirk

How do you select a random result returned from a mysql request?
This retrieves the info returned from a query $sth->fetchrow_array;
But what I want to know is how in perl would you select if you had a
field named account and had a bunch of rows with that same account how
would you select a random row?

You should check out the "FileCache" module. In particular, look at the
code itself -- it's basically a way to pretend you have many filehandles
open without actually having to have so many filehandles open.
You might be able to use FileCache.pm directly, or change slightly what it's
doing for what you want to do -- or possibly adapt it along with using seek
and tell to save more state if you need to do something more sophisticated
than append.

Subject: STL and embedded perl conflict
Message-Id: <37D5DACC.8B44E810@citr.com.au>
Hi all,
I'm having something of a problem embedding perl in a c++ program which
uses stl vectors. This compile time problem only seems to occur if I
try to change the vector in the code i.e. push_back, insert, etc.
This is indicative of the error message that I get...
"/opt/RogueWave/workspaces/SOLARIS25/SUNPRO42/8s/include/algorithm.cc",
line 2410: Error: next_permutation(BidirectionalIterator,
BidirectionalIterator, Compare), returning char, was previously declared
returning int.
I can remove either perl or stl, and the compilation works fine. This
method, next_permutation, is not one which I would expect to colide with
perl in any way.
Is anybody able to provide some insight into why this is happening?
Thanks
James

Without any extra context or error message from perl it's hard to tell
what's wrong. If there's a statement after your print then maybe you're
missing the semicolon to separate the statements.
Please post a more complete fragment of code and the error message.
If you haven't tried then you should - see what happens. Perl's error
messages are quite useful, and if you need help there's the diagnostics
pragma whicha can make the messages even more detailed.
In most recent installations of perl
perldoc diagnostics
should tell you about the diagnostics pragma.
Hope this helps,
Mike

That looks fine to me.

``It doesn't go through'' Now, that's very helpful. There might be a
bug somewhere then.

Why would you guess that?

Now that you know that it's doable, and quite easy, you'll kick yourself
when you finally put it togther. :-)
Feel free to email almost working code if something is a hairpuller.
