One spits, one don't.
The one that spits purports to be 'learnin'' Perl for those new to Perl not
to programming. The one that doesn't spit is a hefty tome for those who are
already familiar.

Camels are known for spitting
Llamas are known for humming when content.
I have gotten started with Perl in just the last couple of weeks
myself. I bought both. The llama book is the introductory one.
I think, therefore, ken_i_m

Hmmm...actually they *all* spit, kick and bite.

I find this amusingly apropos.

Tell you what - I'll stick the code on the web at
http://demog.berkeley.edu/~aperrin/tips/src/dbobjects.pl.txt and you
can take a look at how I've done it. The answer to your concern about
multiple copies of the same code is to use inheritance - each type of
record is both its own object class and a superclass called Record;
the Record class does most of the work, tweaked by each individual
object class.
Hope this helps.

That question makes no sense. The number of lines in a program has
nothing (well, *very* little) to do with how long it takes to run.

No, but my car won't start. Got any ideas how to fix it?
(Hint: show us what you do, tell us what you expect to happen, show
(or tell) us what actually happens, tell us what you've already
ruled-out as a cause and show us why).
Shot in the dark: perhaps the script you are calling was not written
to be called via require.

Notes
=====
- A line in the body of a post is considered to be original if it
does *not* match the regular expression /^\s{0,3}(?:>|:|\S+>|\+\+)/.
- All text after the last cut line (/^-- $/) in the body is
considered to be the author's signature.
- The scanner prefers the Reply-To: header over the From: header
in determining the "real" email address and name.
- Original Content Rating (OCR) is the ratio of the original content
volume to the total body volume.

Read:
http://old.plover.com/~mjd/perl/varvarname.html
and then decide.
There *are* legimate reasons for using symbolic references. You just
have to ensure that you know what you're doing.

You can use split to do this. Or alternatively you might use unpack()
where you have fixed width data such as th output from 'ps'.

This works good.
I appreciate for it.
But all values are set to left hand.
How to sort a value to right hand ?

Do you *really* mean to tell us that you can not figure that out
yourself with some simple experimentation with what you have already
been shown? If "$x . $space" puts the space on the right, don't you
think "$space . $x" might put the space on the left? You could also try
reading about the sprintf() function which also does padding.

Message-Id: <3904AA7E.4C8543C5@transpatent.com>
Hi,
I need a script for a club, sothat the members can vote over the net.
It needs to recognize, if one member had already voted. Voting via mail
would be best!
Does anybody have some ideas, where I can find one? I do not mean any of
theese stupid webvoting scripts! It needs to be more secure!
Leif.

What would you consider secure enough for your needs?
Please consider your answer carefully before replying.

You might be right. 'Programming Perl' Discusses the mechanisms by which
Perl supports Object Oriented Programming but doesnt go into any depth
about the application of these mechanisms. For greater detail you
might want to read Damien Conway's book but I would recommend that you
had read 'Programming Perl' first anyhow. My touchstone for the
discussion of Object Oriented Programming is infact 'The C++ programming
language' by Bjarne Stroustrup which IMHO takes a pragmatic approach to
the use of this model in the development process - you can ignore the
language specific chapters if you want ;-}

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.
