This depends on your OS. On MS-DOS or Unix, you can open the print
device (/dev/lp0, /dev/lp1, PRN:, LPT1:, or whatever) for write, just
like an ordinary file, and send bytes to it. Make sure you send a
carriage return *and* a line feed at the end of each line if you need
to.

For transcending the line mode, you need a printer driver. The
traditional way to do this on Unix is to pipe stuff, in PostScript or
plain text, to lpr or lp; I don't know what the traditional way on
other systems is.

For guidelines: see news.announce.newusers.
Advice on answering questions:
- test your answer before sending it if possible.
- stop answering if you get too burned out.
- even if your answer works when testing, check the relevant docs,
especially the faq. They may remind you of something important you
should mention, point out that your answer is poor, or point out that
your answer is wrong.
- refer people to the relevant docs even if providing your own answer,
if they exist, so they can learn more.
- try to have a net positive effect. if people spend more time
correcting you than they save by not having to answer questions you
do, you may not be having a net positive effect.
If it sounds like posting like this takes a while, well, it does. I
try to do it, but sometimes I skimp, and then people get irritated.
Perhaps we should have this in the Perl FAQ?

PHP3 does most of that stuff already. You could use that to do the control
things (assuming your server supports PHP3) and just modify PHP3 templates.
You might try using something like HTML:embperl to embend perl right into
your html. You could also try generating the pages dynamically in your perl
but that may be a little much.

JPL will let your Java application interact with the regular
written-in-C Perl interpreter. bkuhn@ebb.org is working on a compiler
backend that will let you run your Perl scripts on Java, but it won't
be usable for months at least.

Alternately, split on /&/ and then on /=/.
Alternately, use CGI.pm to split up the parameters.

Hi,
I am trying to print a number so that it should always

Did you know that every installation of Perl comes with an enormous
amount of documentation? And that you can access that documentation
with man on Unix, and your HTML browser on Windows? And that there is
a perldoc command installed as well, which is a bit more
cross platform? That I seem to be stuck asking questions instead of
stating things?
# perldoc -f sprintf
# perldoc -f printf
my $Bond_James_Bond = sprintf "%03d", 7;
And for some more general information:
# perldoc perl
# perldoc perltoc
# perldoc perlfaq
# perldoc perldoc
And it works for modules too:
# perldoc James::Bond

There is no 4.0.1.8. Perhaps you mean 4.018. I think $^O is younger
than that.

Of course it works. $Config{'archname'} is just an entry in the hash
%Config. What exactly do you mean with doesn't work? There is no
value?
For ActiveState 519 (perl 5.005_03) [*]
C:\DOS\MENU\NT> perl -MConfig -wle "print $Config{archname}"
MSWin32-x86-object
C:\DOS\MENU\NT> perl -wle "print $^O"
MSWin32
On Solaris (5.005_03, and 5.004_04):
$ perl -wle 'print $^O'
solaris
$ perl -MConfig -wle 'print $Config{archname}'
sun4-solaris
I don't have a HP-UX box here to demonstrate it on that, but I'm sure
you can type that in yourself.
If it doesn't work for you, then your installations are broken.
Especially if the $^O doesn't work.

Not exactly equivalent. uname -s on Solaris returns SunOS, and that's
what it should return.

All out of date versions. Especially the 4.018 (which, btw, doesn't
even have $^O, unless I'm mistaken). You should really upgrade all of
them, especially if they are broken, as your post seems to suggest.
4.018 has been dead so long, there is no more left than some dust and
memories.
5.003 still has a few flaps of rotting meat on it.
5.005_02 is just cold, but still dead.

Thanks for the clue.
You could have just said:
"I don't know what I'm doing here on Usenet."
which is how all of the usenauts will read "urgent".
Because propogation of Usenet articles can take hours or even
days.
If it is truly urgent, then you will likely already be dead
before the message even arrives.
No sense answering a dead guy.
If it is not truly urgent, then you are a liar, and are
subject to ignoration (or worse).

Oh. You are not going to find them here in clpmisc, as they

Like yours.
clpmisc is for the discussion of the Perl programming language.
newsgroups with "jobs" in their names are for job postings.
Displaying to tens of thousands of potential candidates that

Oh, so you don't want any Unix programmers then?
I thought it was "Windows 95/98" ("Operating" systems),
and "Word 95/97" (Word Processors).
I dunno what "Word 95-98" might represent...

Well, that'd be Word -3, which (obviously) means Word 1897 :-)

Euhmm.. So, you post a followup without attribution, quoted in
jeopardy style, and with the complete quoted post, including
signature, contained in it?
I sure hope that you were trying to email this to someone else, and
you accidentally posted, because otherwise it's off to
news.announce.newusers with you to read the FAQ :)
The irony of chuckling over a flame on Usenet abuse this way is a
bit... well... ironic.

require happens once only per script. Some suggestions:
- make list.pl a module and use Exporter to export $CO, $CI, and family;
- make it a module and don't bother to use Exporter -- just refer to
$Ourstuff::CO, $Ourstuff::CI, etc.;
- use do "list.pl" instead of require "list.pl" (see perldoc -f do for
caveats about error-handling);
- use $::CO, $::CI, etc., instead of $CO, $CI, etc., so they end up in
the namespace of package 'main' instead of the namespace of whatever
module first requires them.

Try defining the vars you want in a seperate config file and including it.
For example:
mything.conf:
$CO = '/path/to/co';
$CI = '/path/to/ci';
list.pl
require 'mything.conf';
...
SomeModule.pm
require 'mything.conf';
...
There may be better ways to do it but this should bet you started.

Message-Id: <382B99DF.DE81F06@kc4.so-net.ne.jp>
I am trying to include style sheets in my script but when I call the
script from netscape (4.7) netscape crashes.
Im running Apache 1.3.6 on NT with the latest version of perl.
The file style1.css has the contents
<!--
BLOCKQUOTE {
border: 4px outset;
background: #CC3300;
white-space: pre;
padding: 0.5em;
border-color: #000000 #000000 #000000 #FFFFFF;
border-width: 4px
}
-->
and in my script I have
print $query->start_html(-title=>"Survey",
-meta=>{'keywords'=>'1,2,3,4,5'},
-style=>{-src=>'/style/style1.css'},
-bgcolor=>"#FF9933");
I have tried
-style=>{'src'=>'/style/style1.css'},
and various other combinations but to no avail.
If I comment out this line then my script runs fine.
If save the html output of the script and manualy include the above
style it also works fine.
I have looked through all the faq's and cant find my problem. any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike.,

I am running a perl script inside another perl script.
My program runs the test like

Any idea?

Presumably $my_other_perl isn't opening the logfile and printing to
it. (Are you sure it's running at all?)

Subject: Win32::ODBC trouble (eats memory)
Message-Id: <38307ac1.9923339@news.alt.net>
I'm using ActivePerl and I'm having a problem with the Win32::ODBC
module, that is: if for example I make an infinte loop and open an
odbc connection within that loop whenever a certain condition occurs,
the module eats away memory every time a connection is being made. a
close doesn't help, only the script terminating frees the used memory.
eg:
use Win32::ODBC;
$fatalerror = 0;
while ($fatalerror ne 1) {
if (mycondition) {
$db = new Win32::ODBC("dsn=mydsn;UID=myuid;PWD=mypw") || last;
$db->Sql("SELECT * FROM whatever");
# snip -- doing some other stuff here
$db->Close;
}
sleep $interval;
}
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Chris.

You are missing how to use your newsreader to cross-post, instead of
