Ack! Don't *DO* that. Win32 can understand paths separated by '/' just
as well. Also, doing it that way means your routines are portable across
many operating systems. The only reason (okay, I'm exaggerating a
little) you should ever use '\\' in a Win32 system is when you're passing
arguments to CMD.EXE.

You could do a "{ local $/ = '\\'; chomp($path); }" right there. But I'd
recommend you use '/' instead of '\\', for reasons stated above.

Again, try '/'.

Also, please reply *AFTER* what you quote. It makes it easier to see

You path on the RedHat server doesn't have '.' (the current directory)
included in it. The path on the Slackware server does.
Just add '.' to your path. Personally, I prefer not to.
Now, this happens with all of your programs, not only Perl scripts, so
this question wasn't really Perl related.

Because "rm -rf ." removes nothing on many versions of Unix. Of the
three I had quick access to, two did nothing. Solaris7 (x86 and sparc)
and Linux (RH 6.0). The other (NCR's MP-RAS) removed everything but
"." and "..".

1. Where can I read up on RFC 1521?
2. If I were to use MIME::Lite, how? The web server is not really mine.
It really belongs to "host-express". I'm their customer and my site
registered with them. Can I install then use MIME::Lite even if it is not
really my server? Should I find out whether they already support it? Or am
I totally off here?
Thanks.

By reading more of perlfunc. All the file tests are mentioned there:
[snip]
-e File exists.
-z File has zero size.
-s File has nonzero size (returns size).
-f File is a plain file.
-d File is a directory.
-l File is a symbolic link.
-p File is a named pipe (FIFO).
[snip]
And, do you really know what hard links are?

Perhaps you could keep a list of all visited directories in a hash
somewhere, and check if that directory has been visited
before. Graph/Tree traversal algorithms might be useful in your case.

To learn Perl, you probably don't need a full blown Development Kit.
ActivePerl (build 519) should probably be enough to get you up and
running with Perl. It comes with a ton of documentation, and is fully

I am working on a typical MFC application for NT. I would like to do

I would really like to prevent this from happening. What can I do to

does perl 5 supports multithreading on Solaris2.7 ? Or is there a way

Sure. Debug your script using the normal CGI debugging methods that are
often discussed in the CGI usenet group. Or check one of the FAQs on
CGI program debugging.
BTW - a style point (at least my style) - single quote text and you
won't have to backslash your @s and you don't need single quotes in your

Currently no, though you can always cobble something up yourself. (Have
some sort of variable the thread checks occasionally and then exits if
it's some particular value) 5.6 might address this, at least partially.

This is a fairly trivial question, but I'm currently using the Term::Cap

I've got the code working just great, but I'd like to make it look a

Message-Id: <7sdmf4$elr$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
I've gotten something like this before. Try putting a use AutoLoader at
the top of your code. Then compile and try again. If you get another
error, just use a 'use' with the module. Repeat process until errors
are fixed.

Oh, so it actually *meant* something! Thanks for that Kent.
Not to worry, she hasn't kill-filed you (?) or Kragen, so she'll get to
see what I wrote one way or the other.
Great thing - quotes! Let you speak by proxy. And people who think
kill-files gives them power are very amusing to watch...

Absolutely.

Is the ratio unusually lower for Perl than it is for other programming
languages? Are there less women coding Perl than other programming
languages?
I know the answer to neither of the above questions, but perhaps answering
them might be a worthwhile place to start. Maybe?

I've been dealing with women in positions of authority for a long time,
and my observation has been that they are much more capable and reasonable
than their male equivalents - hence they need to be cut down to size less
often.
I'm probably as chauvinistic as the next guy, but in my book an idiot is
an idiot (etc. etc.), and it makes no difference if they wear a skirt.
Hope that helps.
Henry.

for some very small values of two weeks, it seems.

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.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.
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.
