Where's this idea from that IDE == GUI? It's just not true.
Now, you can do an IDE intelligently, or you can do it dumb. Intelligent
is the version where the IDE is just a shell for the stuff you already
have (that is, "build" calls "make", it may have a way to generate
makefiles but is happy to use existing ones, and so on).

"perldoc -q ceil" will return an appropriate answer from perlfaq4
using the POSIX module function ceil(). Your other option would be to
add 0.5 and take the int ("perldoc -f int"), assuming you are only
working with positive values. In cases of rounding values you may
want to explicitly control the behaviour to ensure that it does what
you think it does, and writing your own function can be helpful in
achieving that.
Cheers,
Andrew

From: larrym@imsi.com (Larry Martell)
Subject: Closing a pipeline before the command is done
Message-Id: <7rmop3$s46@titan.imsi.com>
I have a script that opens a pipeline, and then when it sees a specific string
it's done with the output of that command. It does some processing, and
then issues another command. When it see the string that signals it's done
the command is not completed, but I don't care about the rest of the output.
Initially I issued a close(PIPE) when I saw the string, but that hung. I
then captured the pid of the command and sent it a SIGKILL when I was done.
That worked as far as my script was concerned, but when it exited I found that
I had all these invocations of the command still hanging around. (It issues
many of them.)
I found that 2 processes actually get started, and I only get back the pid of
the parent. I kill that, but the child stays around forever.
For example, if I issue the statement:
$pid = open(TICK, "mycmd |");
and I do a ps I see:
larrym 3462 0.0 1.3 1540 744 p0 S 19:36 0:00 mycmd
larrym 3461 0.0 0.0 28 0 p0 IW 19:36 0:00 sh -c mycmd
The pid I get back is 3461, which does go away when I send the kill, but
3462 does not. As I said, even after the script exits, 3462 is still around.
Is there a clean way I get get rid of these processes? I can't really do a
ps and grep for them because there may be other invocations running that are
not mine that I don't want to kill.
TIA,
larry

Message-Id: <7rmkld$9hp$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Alan,
This is the 3rd time I'm trying to post this. I'm having some problem
with the news server. Anyways...
The reason I chose http is bec. that's the only way I know besides
ftp. I can't use ftp because the object to transfer is a dynamic
array, and it causes too many problems to save the dynamic array to a
temp file. So, the ftp option is gone. I would like to stick to the
standard, so as to make the life my client developers easier. Http
looks like an option.
So far, I have written a server script which writes the array to the
response object line by line via a html/text stream. I notice the
problem with this method is that the client cannot proceed until the
response object is fully constructed at the client side. This can
become a problem when the array size is large. I'm not sure if this is
a problem with my test client program (VC++ and VB) though.
What protocols are all those stock programs using to get historical
data from the quote servers? That's basically what I have to do. So,
is http the choice or not?
TIA

Tom,
It may be by analogy with csh, in which you can source another
file that references and even modifies shell variables in the
current script. This is an easy way to make scripts portable
across platforms. Someone wishing to use perl as a (very)
enhanced script language might look for such a feature.
Cheers,
Peter

You're not that specific about whether you want to have multiple
substitutions, etc., but you can probably get the idea of what you want
to do from the following:
(Assuming test.text contains the input line)
$name="Genius";
open IN,"<test.txt" or die $!;
while(<IN>)
{
s/\$name/$name/g; # Notice you have to escape the $ in the pattern
print;
}
close IN;
Hope this helps, let me know if it's unclear what it's doing.

I would recommend *leaving* that first line there. Perl uses
that line to snag command-line options like -w. It enhances
portability when going back to unices. And don't some configs
of Apache still need the path to Perl given correctly on that
first line?
And NT [along with the webserver] only knows what to do with
the file extension after some careful explanation. If you're
lucky, ActiveState got it all done for you. If not, prepare
to start reading the documentation.

You did ask about the database, not code, so:
Traditional relational database.
PersonTable maps many-to-many to GroupTable
PersonTable:
id - lastName - firstName - email
GroupTable
id - groupName
PersonGroupMapTable
personId - GroupId
In code you could do this in many, many ways. You could map the above
relational table structure into an OO approach. You could create an
anonymous hash for each person, each group, and store the references,
instead of the actual arrays (that's the equivalent of the mapping
table).
In general, the underlying design of your data structure should work
with references (or id's, keys, depending on what you use), and the
items that map many-to-many should be separated out in their own
structures.

Suboptimal way to snatch 6 elements from @new . And you
failed to start at 0 again.
I appreciate your attempt to help, but could you:

That doesn't matter. Whenever a built-in function expects an integer
argument such as an array index or a string offset, perl converts
implicitly to integer.

As they are random elements, it hardly matters which six are chosen.

If the referenced object has been blessed into a package, then that

If you want to know if it's a member of that class, use ref ($obj) eq
$classname. If you want to know whether it's a member of that class or
one of its descendants, use $obj->isa($classname). The latter is
better if you don't know which you need.

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.
