This one is probably closer to the C syntax, except you have to
calculate wether it jumps to the default or not:
goto 1 <= $foo && $foo <= 2 ? "case_$foo" : "default"; {
case_1: printf "case 1\n";
last;
case_2: printf "case 2\n";
last;
default: printf "no match\n";
last;
}
The advantage over the "for" and the "if/else" solutions are that
if you have 47 cases, it doesn't have to try them all before defaulting
to default. (Assuming you can easily calculate the correct label).

Subject: How do I set up a cgi-bin on Windows NT Server 4
Message-Id: <816bci$gdk$1@ayers.ftech.net>
I am a web developer and I host several Websites with my ISP. My hosting
packages include a cgi-bin facility of which I have direct access to and I
am told that Perl version 5 runs in the background. Whilst my knowledge of
perl scripts etc are very limited, infact, to be honest I know nothing about
them, I am, however, aware of what they can achieve. I know that I can use
an e-commerce package e.g. http://www.actinic.co.uk. Half of the files are
placed into the cgi-bin and the other half are ordinary html files which are
place into the web folder.
With this simple understanding of the cgi-bin I now want to go ahead with
installing my own server machine at my ISP. It be running Windows NT Server
4.0 and I will require the cgi-bin facility providing me with the same
service that I have with my ISP.
It may just be a simple configuration from within Windows NT or may be more
complexed than that. Maybe there is a reference manual that describes the
set up procedure?
Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction. Please contact at

Are you asking how to set up a web server on Windows NT? If so, do you
really think comp.lang.perl.misc is the place to ask?

The activestate Perl distribution comes with a set of documentation that
describes setting Perl to work with various HTTP servers.
If you want to know about configuring NT servers then you have asked in
the wrong group - I have set the followups appropriately.

The path separator on the Mac is ':' and not '/' - which would explain
many of your problems.
Also, Macs don't use 'E:'-type nonsense to designate drives or partitions
- they just use the *name* of the drive or partition.
A *valid* full path on a Mac could look something like:
"My Mac!:Here be web files:student's files:index.html"
...or, more generally:
partition:folder:folder:document

Oh, I think you just haven't come across the part of the manual that tells
you about the error log file yet. Don't worry - you will.

Well done.

As has been mentioned above, the Macintosh file system uses colons instead
of slashes when specifying full paths. That means that when you are
writing cgi scripts to access files on the file system, use colons.
Obviously that means the colon is a reserved character, and should not be
used as a file/folder/partition name of any kind. The MacOS won't let you
do anything as suicidal as renaming your hard disk to 'E:'.
As far as MacPerl goes, life can get a whole lot simpler if you remember
to have:
#!perl -w
...as the first line of every script. This turns on warnings which get
generated by the compiler and help your write better code.
You might also want to cruise by <http://www.macperl.org/> and check out
the resources available. Signing up for one (or more) of the many MacPerl
mailing lists would probably be a good idea as well.
Henry.

Too bad. If you do not have telnet access to the server, you cannot use
DB_File, since there are parts that must be compiled.
Maybe you should ask your provider to install DB_File, and also ask why
you have a crippled version of perl, since DB_File is one of the
standard modules. So you have no "real" perl version.

They can perfectly well compile it from a CGI script, assuming (a) they have
access to a compiler and (b) their CGI script runs as them, not as nobody.

DB_File is not built by default if Berkeley DB is not installed, for
obvious reasons.
> So you have no "real" perl version.
In my book, asking how to install modules is a real perl question.

Thats a shame I'm more of a champagne and croissant type of programmer
rather than beer an pizza. Perhaps if you had posted to a group that
had the word jobs in the title then you might have had more success.

This is to do with the permissions of the user that IIS runs programs under
to access the network. This is a server configuration issue - I have set

A caveat - I have never looked at Class:Struct until this very minute
but a quick look at the document would lead me to believe that the
accessor method for array members does not work like that :
With one or two arguments, the first argument is an
index specifying one element of the array; the second
argument, if present, is assigned to the array
element. If the element type is '@', the accessor
returns the array element value. If the element type
is '*@', a reference to the array element is
returned.
That is you would have :
$p->peers(0,"Preston");
$p->peers(1,"Richard");
$p->peers(2,"Sam");
But I think your second method of doing it is perfectly alright - if only
a little scary looking for the uninitiated.

Does anybody out there know how to create a search engine that would
search
specific sites for a specific keyword?
Take a look at a program I saw on a magazagine called "Web Development".
I did all the code but the program did not work.
The code is at: http://jaime.laosb.org/cgi-bin/sitesearch.cgi
The code is supposed to search stonehenge.com for the word the user
inputs.
The problem is that when the user inputs the stuff and submits the
forms, it does not work.
The system I am working with is a Linux with Perl 5.00503-2
I have also installed modules:
WWW-Search-2.05
HTML-Parser-2.25
URI-1.04
libwww-perl-5.46
libnet-1.0607
MIME-Base64-2.11
Digest-MD5-2.09
The program code is at: http://jaime.laosb.org/sitesearch
Please advise me on what I am doing wrong.

Step 1. download the contents of those sites. Be sure to obey robots.txt.
Step 2. index it by keyword so you can find results in a reasonable amount
of time.
Step 3. when you get a query, look up its keywords in the keyword index.

You mean you get a 507 Doesn't Work error from the web server, and a

OK assuming that we are talking about the single character ctrl-O here
rather than a literal ^O then you might take a lokk at this :
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use IO::File;
my %files;
open(INFILE,'thing.txt') || die "Cant open thing.txt for input - $!\n";
while(<INFILE>)
{

my $fname = "paragraph$1";
unless (exists $files{$fname} )
{
my $fhandle = IO::File->new;
$fhandle->open(">$fname") || die "Cant open $fname - $!\n";
$files{$fname} = $fhandle;
}
select $files{$fname};
}
print $1 if /^\cO(.+)/s;
}
close $_ foreach (values %files);
I have used the module IO::File in order to ease the storage of the
filehandles for each file in a hash although there are other methods.
Please see the manpage for IO::File for more as well as the perlre and
perlop and perlfunc manpages.

Hello,
I am a programmer new to Perl. I downloaded the latest edition of ActivePerl
to my comp and attempted to use it. To the best of my knowledge the
installation went fine. The simple programs I have written appear to work as
expected. However, I attepted to run a program that I found from a link from
the ActivePerl site. It was an example of how to implement the win32::odbc
module which comes with ActivePerl. The normal output portion of the program
works fine, but it is not querying the database. It returns an error that
says it cannot find a file called sql.al.
Is this an installation error? Should there be a file by this name? Does
anyone know where I can get a fix to this problem?
Thanks,
Jim

Don't include the line &Parse_Form. Also don't require
subparseform.lib. use CGI does all that for you, and as a special
added bonus, does it (a) without your bugs, and (b) in a way that will
work with multipart forms.
You might want to desk-check the code that reads "Richards Additions",
too. Print it out, and then on each line, pencil in what you think any
changed variable values will be. For things specified by the user,
just pick something.

<big snip>
Why do you need to include this form-parsing stuff when the CGI module
does it for you already? You should read the documentation for CGI.pm
if you are having difficulty getting at the form parameters.
Leave out the require, leave out the &Parse_Form and use the normal
facilities provided to you by CGI.pm .
I have this horrible feeling you are simply cutting and pasting this stuff
from source without understanding it - if so I would recommend that you
turn off your computer and take a walk down to your local bookshop and
get yourself a decent book about Perl: Uri Guttman has a goodly selection
of reviews at <http://www.sysarch.com>.
Of course you might just be better off asking in the group:
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi
if you are only interested in making some CGI program rather than learning
Perl.

I didnt see the OP mention MySQL although undeniably it is widely used it
has limitations that those serious about database work would consider to
be show stoppers. I would in the first instance recommend a more general
book on SQL - though I couldnt recommend one n particular (It feels like
I came into the workd with knowledge of SQL:) - this is almost certainly
something that should be taken up with some comp.databases.* group.

OT or no, I'll recommend _SQL for Web Nerds_, http://photo.net/sql/.
They have the whole documentation set for Oracle 8 online there too.
There's also a huge amount of source code there, along with explanation
of its philosophy. All of it is freely downloadable. It has the minor
disadvantage of being written all in Tcl.

yeah but given the write arguments h2xs will provide a nice skeleton
module to start work with - with a Makefile.PL MANIFEST and all - its
a matter of convenience really. Of course the advice in perlmod and
perltoot are more useful in actually *writing* the modules.

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.
