Hey...
I just start to write perl script. I got a problem to execute
scripts on my machine.
I have windows 98, and apache server installed.
Perl is installed on directory "c:\perl\bin\"
When I try to run perl script, I figure out I don't know how to start.
I don't know what I should write at the first line. I know in UNIX
perl script might start with #!/usr/bin/perl <- where perl is installed.
But I don't know how to start on windows machine.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi Youngsoo,
if your perl is located in c:\perl\bin\, the first line of the
cgi should be :

Subject: Perl can't find specific XML::DOM package
Message-Id: <8eblbq$aa8$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Hello,
I'm creating a perl program using perl5.6.0 on Mandrake Linux 7.0.
The program does the following:
$doctype = $Document->getDoctype;
.
.
.
$doctype = $tmp->createDocumentType("CIM","cim.dtd");
Document is an instance of a parsed XML file created via the XML::DOM
module.
This is the error I get...
Undefined subroutine &XML::DOM::DocumentType called at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/XML/DOM.pm line 3475, <GEN2> line 18.
Yet in looking at the DOM.pm file, there is a package called
DocumentType.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,

That is actually one of the funkiest pieces of code that I've seen

I'd change that line, so that you don't have to specify the name
of the batch file each time:
perl %PerlFlag% %0 %*

Ahh, thats what I said really, I cannot think of another way to do
this, except to assign a dummy value to the @REM in your perl.

The way that I normally do things is to have two files:
a.pl
a.bat
With a.bat containing :
@echo off
perl %~d0%~p0a.pl %0
Your solution is neater as it only has one file, but mine's probably
simpler to understand.

I'd much rather have heard you were proposing to post binaries to a
*.binaries.* group than that you want to post HTML to usenet. There _is_ a
place in usenet for MIME-encoded files, but the place in usenet for HTML was
best described by Dante.
If you're interested in legitimate uses of MIME in usenet, like posting
binaries, I'll post the location to a perl autoposter program.

Which means that your html formatting gets lost when displayd by some
mail readers, which means that you can't use any formatting to convay
any meaning, which means that the HTML part is a waist of effort,
which means that text/plain would be sufficient to convay what you
have to say.

No problem. Yes, perl is very particular - and therefore very
powerful. Every punctuation mark means something (well, almost), and
each is different in important ways. You'll find the documentation
for how {} creates a hash in perlref, which deals with references.
But you should certainly never assume that {} could be substituted for
() with impunity.

You havent previously properly installed DBI If you have a good network
connection you should try :
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::DBD::Informix'
from some command line - being careful to ensure you have a working Informix
environment before you kick it off.

Strange. This question comes up about every two weeks in this ng. One

True but there are servers where the 'directory in which the script is

Subject: sigrand.pl generated sig file not used by pine...
Message-Id: <8eb7ap$gaf$1@newton.pacific.net.sg>
hello,
Well, I have started the sigrand.pl prog which runs as daemon and provides
random sigs for tin posted mails, or normal mails etc. It works fine when
I mail from tin, as you can see for this mail :) But pine doesn't somehow
read the .signature file. I checked the script, it creates the .signature
as 'named pipe' file, which when cat'ed gives every time gives a diff sig.
But the file size is 0 as a special file (well sort of), maybe this causes
a problem for pine.
Another strage thing is that, when I go to sig file modfn feature of pine,
It does show the random sig file, and if saved replaces the pipe file with
a normal file. However if not saved, 'compose' doesn't bring up the editor
with .sig file included.
Any way to solve this?

Yes but that is not really the appropriate solution. The version you
had already would be considered 'older' by any objective criteria when the
last of the 500 series builds was 522. You could at least try to install
a later version to see if what you are experiencing is not a bug in the
particular build you have.
Show us your code and explain to us what you mean by 'failing'.

go() unless caller;
Obviously you have to do this outside of any subroutines or provide
an approriate argument to caller() to compensate. Probably you should
put at the top of the script:
my $just_testing = ! caller;

This has nothing to do with Perl. In html any whitespace (including \n)
is interpretted as a single space. Try:
$result = "<pre>$result</pre>";
Or perhaps $result =~ s/\n/<br>\n/g;

Er... All you can do is split the lines that you get back from the
external command. I hope that's what you want. Assign the result of
`...` to an array instead of a scalar, and you're set.
From the entry for `STRING` in perlop:
In list context, returns a list of
lines (however you've defined lines with $/ or
$INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR).

It hasnt anything to do with it. If you dont understand what you are
seeing from strace just ignore.

One should never listen. To listen is a sign of indifference to one's
hearers.

i am searching for CGI::Pretty module for installation
(why can't it be found at:
http://www.ActiveState.com/ppmpackages/5.005/zips/ for example)
platform WinNT4 perl version 5.003_03 (ppm version 1.1.2)
thanx john
ps.:
ppm verify /upgrade did not install that (sub-) module of CGI
(just CGI::Apache, Carp,CGI,Cookie,Fast,Push,Switch,XMLForm are
available for me now)

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.

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.
