Or to phrase that slightly differently, unless you have the patched 2.26
version of XML::Parser, or the 2.27 (latest) version of XML::Parser, you
will sometimes see the dreaded line 126 error if you are also using 5.004
Perl. :-)

Sure thing, Mr. GanapathiRaman sir! We'll all drop whatever we're doing
to answer your URGENT question! Oh, wait... I'm reading this on my own
time at 3 a.m. USENET is a voluntary community; if your question is
urgent, you should probably contact a paid consultant.
Or perhaps urgently read the documentation before posting to a newsgroup,
where your post will percolate across the world at the whim of the news
servers involved and replies will similarly drift back, originating as the
readers of this newsgroup see fit.

The problem is on line 23.
For a more specific answer, you need to tell us the version of Perl, the
version of XML::Parser, and give us an example of the code you're using to
invoke XML::Parser.

The problem is that I want to mail from a CGI script. I just dont
want the mail to be from 'nscape' (the netscape web-server default
server) but from somebody else (who dont even have an account on the
web server)
Changing the 'From:' field of a mail message is not supposed to be
something complex.
Do you have a mail module (other than Mail::Send) to propose to me?
Thanks

Your zeroth and most serious problem is your inability to read.

And where this faq might be found? I tried looking around in the perl.com

If you want build (compile) a new version of Perl, you need to install a C
compiler.
(But for install a C compiler, you need a C compiler ? No, there is
different packages already in bin)
Same thing for Perl. If you don't want compile your new Perl, install a
package with Perl already compile for Sun machines.

Subject: Problems adding to and deleting from an array
Message-Id: <01bf1ac8$aa72e0e0$a7040a0a@pchand.eil.co.in>
I am unable to add to an array and delete from an array. I'm
adding at the end of the array and deleting from the beginning
of the array (first-in-first-out).
Everytime I add to the array:
- the array length increases by 2 and not 1
- the data is in the odd-numbered offset of the array and not at
every offset.
You can use the program below to check this out.
@array = (); # Initialize array
$length = @array; # Get length of array
print "Length = $length\n"; # Prints 0
$x = "abc def"; # Add string to end of array
$array [@array + 1] = $x;
$length = @array;
print "Length = $length\n"; # Prints 2 (and not 1)
$f = @array[0];
print "1th elem: $f\n"; # Prints nothing
$f = @array[1];
print "1th elem: $f\n"; # Prints $x
$y = "ghi jkl";
$array [@array + 1] = $y;
$length = @array;
print "Length = $length\n"; # Prints 4 (and not 2)
$f = @array[1];
print "1th elem: $f\n"; # Prints $x at offset 1 (not 0)
$f = @array[3];
print "3rd elem: $f\n"; # Prints $y at offset 3 (not 1)
$z = "mno pqr";
$array [@array + 1] = $z;
$length = @array;
print "Length = $length\n"; # Prints 6 (and not 3)
$f = @array[1];
print "1th elem: $f\n"; # Prints $x at offset 1 (not 0)
$f = @array[3];
print "3rd elem: $f\n"; # Prints $y at offset 3 (not 1)
$f = @array[5];
print "5th elem: $f\n"; # Prints $z at offset 5 (not 3)
# Now delete $x which is at the beginning of the array
@array = @array [1, $length - 1];
$length = @array;
print "Length = $length\n"; # Prints 2
$f = @array[0];
print "0th elem: $f\n"; # Prints $x (not $y)
$f = @array[1];
print "1st elem: $f\n"; # Prints $z
$f = @array[2];

$f = @array[3];

You managed to ask your question without mentioning the magic word Perl
- this is a CGI question and not a perl question and should have been
posted to comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi
You can install web server software on a machine which is not a server,
and this is what you'll need to do to get your CGI working.

Cool. I had an idea last week for a roundish thing, a sort of disk, and
if you put a bar between two of them you could move stuff easily.

Have you tried HTML::Parser for parsing HTML? Or tried 'perl -MCPAN -e
shell' and searching for HTML or SGML there?

You biggest problem is how your going to tackle the IMAP connectivity,
most of the pre-existing IMAP related modules are still in their infancy.
I chose the Mail::Cclient one, but it's not everyones cup of tea. Do a
search on CPAN for IMAP to get the others.
> Is there anywhere I can get perl code to get me started?
Probably. If you want to learn it's best to do it yourself though. If you
just want it to work www.perl.org may be a good starting point to search
for existing scripts.
> What modules will I need?
CGI.pm, all of the Mail and MIME related modules. You wont want to use
them all but you need to understand the differences so you can decide
which ones you do want to use.
> Any advice for this sort of project?
Yes. Read all the RFC's on Mail and MIME that you can lay your hands on.
Understand mail inside out.
Start small and add features, don't try to do it all at once.
Design how you are going to make it scalable.
Decide if you are going to give users real accounts or pop only accounts.
The later may involve hacking some serious amounts of complicated unix
stuff. (noteably sendmail and imap daemons).

Message-Id: <null>
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.
