I've reached the 2GB file limitations using perl 5.004_04 on HP/UX
10.2. I have found that 10.2 does support 64 bit operations. What is
the proper way to compile perl to take advantage of this?

Try using the s switch in your regexp to span multiple lines.

That is a fairly mindless answer. The '/s' modifier affects *only* the
interpretation of the '.' metacharacter in a regex, and there aren't any
of those in there, are there?

if you are going to do that why dont you slurp all of the text in the
file into the variable in the first place.

I am looking for the expression or script that will automate an Email
mailing.
Example: my customers fill out a form. The form goes to my cgi/perl script.
The information gets entered into my flat file,
No I want an automatic Email to go to the customer and say..... whatever....
thankyou... your information has been processed.
All I have seen is scripts that invoke the Email program for the user...
This is not what I want.
I want an Email sent automatically from my PERL script.
Thanks

With respect, do you really think it's necessary or productive to read
out this elementary part of the documentation?
If the Hon Usenaut hasn't found this for themselves yet (which might be
perfectly understandable in a beginner), I'd have thought the first
priority was to help them to understand how to find things in the
comprehensive available documentation, so that they can make their own
great leap forwards; rather than reading the specific bit out to them
(without even showing them where you found it, IINM), and leaving them
only ready to come back with their next request for reading practice.
IMHO, of course.

No you're not you are using Perl 5.003 and I would recommend that you
upgrade to 5.005 which will have both of those modules ... Normally
one would get modules from CPAN <http://www.cpan.org> of course.

If you want to know about lock down you ought to ask Staffordshire Social

searching engines that I hear are available on the internet these days ...

I wouldnt say so - you arent checking for the success of the file opens
and you are not using any locking on your files so this will almost
certainly fail in a multiuser environment (which the CGI is by definition).

If there is a DBD module available it should be available at CPAN :

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

unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.

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

sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
