Has anyone had any luck with using PerlEz from Delphi? DejaNews only
showed this message and an older one, and neither had any replies.
I just tried to write a bindings unit, and got lots of stack corruption.
Maybe the PerlEz.h file is out of synch with PerlEz.dll (I installed
build 520, then ran the upgraders for 512 and 522), but while
PerlEzCreate() seemed to work just fine, PerlEzDelete() seemed to be
popping twelve bytes on exit - I had to preface it with asm code to do
three push 0's to keep the app from crashing. PerlEzEvalString() seemed
similarly ... awkward.

I haven't tried PerlEz but both PerlCtrl and PerlCOM from
ActiveState Tool Corporation instead, with some success.
Note that I'm taking COM integration for embedding. Here is
what I wrote to their sales director, when asking how much they
charged for redistributing PerlCOM:
"We actually want to use standalone PerlCtrl's in Delphi 5,
but we cannot import them from there; when registering them as
ActiveX controls, Delphi does not notice them; when generating a
Delphi automation controller for them by importing their COM type
libraries Delphi complains about an access violation and does
not generate anything. (This last option works for PerlCOM.dll,
at least partially, which is why I'm asking.)"
More precisely, I have (successfully) evaluated a perl
statement from a semi-automatically generated trivial Delphi
5 application, after which perl failed to shut down, however,
as far as I can tell. This was my first Delphi program ever.
I'm still looking into this, though not on a machine code level.
ActiveState is also planning to support local (i.e.,
out-of-process, local-machine) COM components, such that you
can have perl run in a process separate from your application
and still have perl communicate with the application via COM.
They seem to be flexible about licensing, and there is no need
to license ActiveX controls generated by their (perl module)
PerlCtrl. If only Delphi could import them!
I'm not affiliated with ActiveState Tool Corporation in any way.

This turned out to be (sigh!) just another case of Premature
Optimization. I ran TDump on PerlEz, and got what looked like the DLL
entry point's ordinal indices. When I linked to the DLL by index,
everything was wrong; when I just linked by name, everything was fine.
Sigh.
But, now I have more questions, this time for anyone with PerlEz
experience:
1) I can't seem to capture StdOut. I create a temp file, open it with
CreateFile(), and pass the handle to SetStdHandle(), but the file has 0
length after passing 'print "hello, stdout\n";' to PerlEzEvalString().
(PerlEzEvalString() puts results into lpBuffer as expected, so I'm not
*totally* off.)
2) Globbing doesn't seem to work. 'foreach (<*.html>) BLOCK' never
executes BLOCK.

I am using Perl to generate dynamic HTML pages. I want to resize a picture

Is there a 1) function or 2) a program to do this?

Too much work!
system "cp $file1 $file2; mogrify -geometry $max_x $max_y $file2";
You can even leave out the 'cp' if you don't mind overwriting the
original file.

Sounds like you need LWP, the libnet modules available on CPAN. With
LWP, you can send parameters to your friend's script; collect the output
of the script in a variable; modify the variable if you need, for
example to change url locations; then print the page to the user on your
site.

I think you must use the LWP modules. See the recipe 20.2 of the Perl

Since this is really a CGI issue [it could be done in just about
any language, not just Perl], you may find that you will get
better answers in the comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi
newsgroup. And they're more polite than we are, too. :-)
Good luck,

That doesn't always happen. One thing - could you please
in future post your response *after* the [carefully-trimmed]

and replying to threads so much easier. And it will keep
playground monitors [like me, I admit] from pestering you

Apart from everybody with sharp eyes pointing out that you were trying
to match an 'l' instead of a '1', you could make this regex a lot easier
to read by choosing a different delimiter for your operator:
m#wp-srv/WPlate/\d+-\d+/\d+/\d+\w-\d+-\w+\.html#
Which gets rid of half of the leaning toothpicks. Using something like:
m{
wp-srv # identifier
/
WPlate # other thingie
/
\d+-\d+ # foo number
/
\d+ # bar number
/
\d+\w-\d+-\w+ # banana ID
\.html # extension
}x
Is even clearer. It's longer, but it makes your life a hell of a lot
easier when you have to start debugging regular expressions.
The perlre documentation has some good stuff on this.

Hi,
I was trying to find a solution to use regex's without being greedy for a
long time. I found the solution in the FAQ and I want to share it, because I
thing this is a very very basic problem if you are not aware of the solution
you might suffer.

Of course one might also have read the perlre manpage ...

Subject: Digest Administrivia (Last modified: 16 Sep 99)
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.
