OK, you are COMPLETELY right: Win32 system understands '/' as
pathname, on Win95, Win98 and WinNT.
I tested it with the code supplied at the end of this message.

Just compile the script that includes the module.
Do not try to compile the modules themselves.
If you have a script
myscript.pl which contains
use Socket;
...
just compile mysocket.pl and the code for the Socket.pm module will
be included into the compioled executable. If Socket module has a
shared lib, the compiled execuutable will be linked against it.

Vishal
If it compiles but doesnot work correctly, check deja-news/p5p archives
etc for the status of the compiler.

Subject: DBD and DBI install question
Message-Id: <7t8ck0$ofi$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Hi,
I'm installing DBI and DBD on my system and I'm running into install
problems. I want to install these into my /usr/local directory but
this directory is automounted to my NFS server. If I try to install
these modules to my NFS server, it doesn't have Informix. So I decided
to install these modules to a machine that does have Informix 7.23 UC9
on it. I'm trying to install everything into /u/local and then I was
going to copy all the files to the NFS server so I can use the DBI and
DBD from other machines. I was successful in installing the DBI module
in the /u/local directory and copying it over to my NFS server so now I
can see it in /usr/local. But when I try to setup DBD I get errors.
To make it simple I just left DBD in the directory /u/DBD and ran "perl
Makefile.PL". Then I ran "make", and then "make test" and got the
following:
n30# make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -
I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502/sun4-solaris -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00
502 -e 'use Test::Harness qw(&runtests $verbose); $verbose=0; runtests
@ARGV;' t/*.t
t/t00basic..........DBI->connect failed: SQL: -329: Database not found
or no system permission.
ISAM: -111: ISAM error: no record found.
at blib/lib/DBD/InformixTest.pm line 74
!! Terminating Test !!
There is much more but I think you can get the point. Normally I will
change the Makefile before I do a "make" so as to have the module
install into the directory I want it to be in, but since that didn't
work either, I thought I'd try the defaults. Can anyone show me the
syntax for installing these modules to my /u/local directory? And
correct me if i'm wrong, but I should be able to just move these files
to my NFS server's /usr/local directory and use them. I'm running
solaris 2.6 on an ultra 1 with perl 5.005.02 and DBI 1.13 and DBD .60.
Thanks in advance...

What do you do with telephone numbers with extensions, with only
extensions, or ones which aren't for merely the US and Canada? But maybe
you want something like this.
sub phone_format ($) {
local $_ = shift;
tr/0-9//cd;
return unless s/(\d\d\d)(\d\d\d)(\d\d\d\d)/($1)$2-$3./;
$_;
}

What you going to do with mine, +44 141 330 xxxx ?
There's an old telephone joke about USAns being the only advanced
society that is incapable of dialling an international telephone number.
I'm beginning to think there's a grain of truth in it.

Subject: locale. (windows)
Message-Id: <37F7CDFF.1345CC24@iname.com>
Hello everybody
I'm trying to set "locale" to spanish. (Spain, but suppose doesn't
matter). I'm running the binary distribution of Perl for the Win32
platform
5.004_02.
"man perllocale" doesn't talk much about windows. I try the example:
(foo.pl):
# This functionality not usable prior to Perl 5.004
require 5.004;
# Import locale-handling tool set from POSIX module.
# This example uses: setlocale -- the function call
# LC_CTYPE -- explained below
use POSIX qw(locale_h);
# query and save the old locale
$old_locale = setlocale(LC_CTYPE);
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "fr_CA.ISO8859-1");
# LC_CTYPE now in locale "French, Canada, codeset ISO 8859-1"
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
# LC_CTYPE now reset to default defined by
LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG
# environment variables. See below for documentation.
# restore the old locale
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, $old_locale);
And I get:
Can't locate POSIX.pm in @INC
(@INC contains: E:\PERL\lib\site E:\PERL\lib c:\perl\lib
c:\perl\lib\site
c:\perl\lib\site .) at foo.pl line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at foo.pl line 7.
Should I compile perl in my system?
I'm afraid it won't help,
Borland C++ help (Builder 3) says:
"The only locale supported in Borland C++ is "C" "
And If I could fix it, what should I change in the exaple?
perhaps...
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "sp_SP.ISO8859-1");
Thanks in advance

One might surmise that such an endeavor would involve the exchange of money
for services. One would also question the phrases "advanced webiste" and
"requires CGI" in such close proximity as to imply a relationship between
the two concepts, but that's a completely inappropriate debate for this
forum.
Perhaps you would be better served advertising in a local jobs posting

You want to parse RSS files. Get XML::RSS. Go poke around a site
like http://my.userland.com/ and fetch some RSS files. They have
plenty of news sites and pointers to RSS files.

Uhm, not directly. But things like that are used when connecting to
HTTP servers, who in turn might use CGI to call external programs.
As such, your question has nothing to do with Perl. Go ask in a newsgroup
dealing with CGI.
And it's spelled Perl. Not PERL.

It's actually a hell of a lot easier than you think, once you know how.
Here's a few tips, though:
1) After adding a new user, remember to 'flush privileges' for the
permissions to take effect.
2) For good security, set up the user in the user table with no
permissions, then set up the same user for the database you want
him/her to have access to in the db table.

Adding a user is done through queries, and can be done via the mysql shell or
Perl DBI. For instance:
INSERT INTO user (host, user, password)
values("localhost", "someone", password("some password"))
INSERT INTO db (host, db, user, select_priv, insert_priv, update_priv,
delete_priv)
values("localhost", "test_db", "someone", "Y", "Y", "Y", "Y")
Finally:
flush privileges
and that's it.

Hey,
I currently have a template subroutine that parses if commands, ie:
<%if variable eq "Yes"> html if true <%endif%>
My regex command is like this:
$text =~ s{ $begin \s* if \s* (\w*)? \s* (..) \s* "([\w\s]*)?" $end (.*)?
$begin \s* endif \s* $end}
($2 eq 'eq' && $fillings->{$1} eq $3) ||
($2 eq 'ne' && $fillings->{$1} ne $3) ||
($2 eq '<=' && $fillings->{$1} <= $3) ||
($2 eq '>=' && $fillings->{$1} >= $3) ?
"$4" :
"" ;
}gsex;
Now how could I have nested 'if's? Like the following
<%if var eq "Yes"%><%if var2 eq "Yes"%><%if var3 eq "Yes%>html if all are
true<%endif%><%endif%><%endif%>
Any ideas? Thanks...

Perhaps by recoding to truly parse the text, maybe with the help of a
module like Parse::RecDescent from CPAN. Cheers!

After reading this review I did as advised and checked in the Perlfaq4.
I found a explanation saying that I should use sprintf or printf. I
don't have a list of arguments that I can use with each of these at my
disposal. I was wondering if someone knows how I should go about
rounding a number like 100.4999999999 or 52.38383838383838 off to a
whole number with 0 decimal places, or what about 1 decimal place or
two?
In addition I have two questions regarding verification of FORM
INPUT. What is the best way to strip HTML out of a string that is
submitted by a form user? And, what is the best way to remove possibly
"hacking" or "malicious" type symbols from a string that is submitted by
a form user?

You have the function names printf and sprintf; you have the perldoc;
you don't need the newsgroup.
% perldoc -f sprintf
=item sprintf FORMAT, LIST
Returns a string formatted by the usual C<printf()> conventions of the
C library function C<sprintf()>. See L<sprintf(3)> or L<printf(3)>
on your system for an explanation of the general principles.
Perl does its own C<sprintf()> formatting -- it emulates the C
function C<sprintf()>, but it doesn't use it (except for floating-point
numbers, and even then only the standard modifiers are allowed). As a
result, any non-standard extensions in your local C<sprintf()> are not
available from Perl.
Perl's C<sprintf()> permits the following universally-known conversions:
%% a percent sign
%c a character with the given number
%s a string
%d a signed integer, in decimal
%u an unsigned integer, in decimal
%o an unsigned integer, in octal
%x an unsigned integer, in hexadecimal
%e a floating-point number, in scientific notation
%f a floating-point number, in fixed decimal notation
%g a floating-point number, in %e or %f notation
In addition, Perl permits the following widely-supported conversions:
%X like %x, but using upper-case letters
%E like %e, but using an upper-case "E"
%G like %g, but with an upper-case "E" (if applicable)
%p a pointer (outputs the Perl value's address in hexadecimal)
%n special: *stores* the number of characters output so far
into the next variable in the parameter list
Finally, for backward (and we do mean "backward") compatibility, Perl
permits these unnecessary but widely-supported conversions:
%i a synonym for %d
%D a synonym for %ld
%U a synonym for %lu
%O a synonym for %lo
%F a synonym for %f
Perl permits the following universally-known flags between the C<%>
and the conversion letter:
space prefix positive number with a space
+ prefix positive number with a plus sign
- left-justify within the field
0 use zeros, not spaces, to right-justify
# prefix non-zero octal with "0", non-zero hex with "0x"
number minimum field width
.number "precision": digits after decimal point for
floating-point, max length for string, minimum length
for integer
l interpret integer as C type "long" or "unsigned long"
h interpret integer as C type "short" or "unsigned short"
There is also one Perl-specific flag:
V interpret integer as Perl's standard integer type
Where a number would appear in the flags, an asterisk ("C<*>") may be
used instead, in which case Perl uses the next item in the parameter
list as the given number (that is, as the field width or precision).
If a field width obtained through "C<*>" is negative, it has the same
effect as the "C<->" flag: left-justification.
If C<use locale> is in effect, the character used for the decimal
point in formatted real numbers is affected by the LC_NUMERIC locale.

I know, and I always put it in there. However, for some reason I'm using
Outlook Express (I don't know why, actually. I really don't like the
program), and OE is so kind that it removes the trailing space before it
posts the message.
Yes, I *will* change newsreader real-soon-now

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.
