The Win32::Eventlog module doesn't have a DESTROY method, so you have to
explicitly call $eventlog->Close() to close the handle.
This has been "fixed" in ActivePerl 520 / libwin32-0.151 so that DESTROY
will do the close for you. Unfortunately it contains a bug: If you
explicitly close the eventlog handle you'll get an access violation in the
DESTROY method. :-( So if you now insert the call to the Close() method
then you should make sure that you don't upgrade to the *current* version
of Win32::Eventlog. Sorry about the confusion.

What the more sarcastic responses to your post are trying to tell you is:
* your web /browser/ doesn't know what to do with a Perl script; if
it opens files on your hard drive, it'll just display them, not
execute them;
* if you want something to execute your scripts, you'll need to install
a local web server (e.g. Apache, see http://www.apache.org/),
configure that to execute your scripts using your shiny new
ActivePerl installation, then go to http://localhost/yourscript.pl
to see the results of its execution;
* your problem is not directly related to points of programming using
the Perl language, and not directly relevant to this group's
unprogressive charter.
It's hard to give much more help than this without knowing what your
objective is. But in general, beware of asking questions not related to
Perl programming in this group (though in this case I presume you thought
it might be a problem with your Perl installation). Also you might like
to read a more general book on how HTTP and web protocols work; I'm sure
O'Reilly do something suitable.

Issue 1: Browsers don't execute scripts, servers do.
Issue 2: Even if you ran this on a server you would likely recieve a
prompt to download the output rather than display it. The proper
"Content-type:" is "text/html". For IE users, just about anything might
happen since IE often ignores Content-type headers, including those it
does not recognize -- it will depend on how your browser and machine have
been configured -- it could try to display the results, it could pop-up
your editor or other application (if defined), or it could prompt you for
a download.
Issue 3: Although you can get away with it on most NT servers with Win32
Perl, it is still good practice to include the shebang line so that it
will be available for any options you may wish to specify (e.g. -w -T,
etc).
Sample: #!/usr/bin/perl [-w] [-T]
where the parameters enclosed within [] are optional. The option '-w' is
very useful for debugging your script, '-T' forces taint-checking before
parameters can be used in ways that commonly leave scripts open to
security faults (e.g. passing parameter to a command line. Other options
are also available (refer to the documentation that you should have
installed during the Perl installation).

Perl doesn't use COMSPEC on Win32 (just as it is not using SHELL on UNIX).
You can override the default shell for Perl by setting the PERL5SHELL
environment variable. The default values are "cmd.exe /x/c" for WinNT and
"command.com /c" for Win0.9x.
BTW, this is all documented in perlrun.pod.

Message-Id: <Pine.GSO.4.10.9910031053060.26339-100000@flute.ece.ucsb.edu>
Hi,
I use 'print' to output some information to a file during the
execution of my script. I also want to monitor this information
using "tail -f log_file_name" during the execution. However,
those information are stored in the buffer and only dumped
when the buffer size is full. Is there a way to force 'print'
to dump to file immediately?
Thanks very much for your help.

Search for the word "buffer" in the docs and FAQ. Hint: Start with

That is the last line of your program, eh? You need a newline after it.

Check what the perldiag manpage has to say about this, then make sure that
your string terminator appears on a line by itself, with no characters
before it and nothing but a newline after it. Cheers!

Thanks for the reply. I want to have more control over the browser
session (by the way, I want to do this in Windows 95 or 98), e.g.
(1) Close out the browser session,
(2) Repeat send another URL over to the same browser window,
but `netscape $url` will not return control back the perl until
the user closes the session,
(3) Detect if the user click on the "window close" button
(4) If the user opened several browser sessions before, my perl script
know which session it actually opened in the beginning to avoid
mistakely sending the URL to a wrong session

Yes, the cygwin port has a number of problems, but you can use mingw32 to
build Perl5.005_03 without problems. I've done so with EGCS 1.1, 1.1.2
and with GCC 2.95. Both threading and non-threading builds work fine.
The PERL_OBJECT build won't run for some reason, but you won't want that
one anyways.

I believe that it will be possible to build extensions for ActivePerl 600
using the mingw32 environment. ActivePerl 6xx will be based on Perl 5.6
whenever it becomes available.

Maybe because <ctrl>c is not generating an interupt signal.
Type "stty -a" at the shell prompt and see what keysym the
tty handler associates with "intr".
Does it enter the handler if you do a "kill -INT ####" from
another shell? You aren't invoking the program in the
background or anything silly like that are you?
If that doesn't help, reduce the program to the smallest

If I'm not mistaken, the timeout starts counting when the underlying
socket connection is first made. The timeout for making the socket
connection is something you generally cannot (and should not) change.
Could this be what you're seeing? (Of course, I could be mistaken...)

Nothing wrong with this code, but may I point out how cool it is to use
qw{} for lists of URLs?
As to using alarm during LWP, it looks as if LWP wasn't written to be
(externally) alarm-interruptable. But again, I could be mistaken.
Have you tried asking on the LWP discussion list? To quote from the LWP
manpage:
$req = HTTP::Request->new(POST =>
'mailto:libwww-perl-request@ics.uci.edu');
$req->header(Subject => "subscribe");
$req->content("Please subscribe me to the libwww-perl mailing list!\n");

Of course. Consult any elementary tutorial on the Common Gateway
Interface, specifically the one for the GET method, to understand where
you can expect to find your "arguments". The classic one is
http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/
Perl supports this, just as any other CGI-capable programming language
would do. This is not a Perl language question, it would belong on
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi (after checking its FAQs of course).
> example: http://www.thedomainname.com/test.cgi?name="Bob"&id="1234"
Something like that. But the quotes are probably out of place, and when
you turn that URL into an HREF, the HTML rules call for turning that "&"
into "&".

Erm, about the only conclusion that readers can draw from what you have
written is that your present level of knowledge of all the relevant
parts is rather small. That's OK - we all have to start somewhere - but
if you really aim to get any value out of this group, you're going to
need to put in the necessary effort yourself, to read the elementary
tutorials and FAQs for yourself, instead of giving the impression that
you're asking us to read them for you.
There are some excellent FAQs that come as part of every complete Perl
installation. Look at their table of contents, follow up the ones that
are clearly relevant, and take it from there.

comp.lang.perl.announce about finding the FAQ and other docs. Cheers!

Uhh... He did ask where to find it in Russian if possible.
There may well be a better answer, but the only thing I could find
when I looked was the following link from searching on
www.perl.com:
http://kulichki.rambler.ru/moshkow/PERL/russperl5/
I have no idea whether or not it is good.

A word of warning here - I have seen some Russian language sites that have
cited some examples of, how do I say this delicately, ahem uncertain
provenance ... I dont know whether this site is one of them though.

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.
| NOTE: The mail to news gateway, and thus the ability to submit articles
| through this service to the newsgroup, has been removed. I do not have
| time to individually vet each article to make sure that someone isn't
| abusing the service, and I no longer have any desire to waste my time
| dealing with the campus admins when some fool complains to them about an
| article that has come through the gateway instead of complaining
| to the source.
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.
