Use a good text editor, and keep the docs handy. :-)
Oh, you want a program to do it. That smells as if you want to obfuscate
your code. Have you seen the FAQ's answers on the subject of hiding your
source code? It's in section three.
But, as far as parsing perl is concerned, "Nothing can parse Perl but
perl." Perhaps you want to use one of the compiler backends, such as
B::Deparse. In the current version, you may have to tweak the resulting
code to get it to work.
Cheers!

Subject: a clue, a hint, a slap in the face would be nice
Message-Id: <8eka0g$c3h$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
I have a two directories, one a backup of the other. Unfortunately some
files in the backup are not in the main directory.
There is no sort either by last updated or by name that can be used to
pull out the files.
I did a ls > tmp in each directory and then a diff tmp1 tmp2 > tmp_diff.
I'll like to write a script that pulls out the lines from tmp_diff but
have come to end of my scripting skills.
The thinking is
while (<>) {
foreach (@ARGV){ #take each line of @ARGV
print cp $_ new_dir/; # copy each file into new_dir
}
}
It's not working. Duh!!!! If it was I wouldn't be posting this message.

I don't know of one (haven't looked) but here is an idea for making one.
Start with Matt's script archive Random Image Displayer (SSI version)
and have the document include a <meta http-equiv="Refresh"
content="time_in_seconds"> tag to the header of the page.
I don't think that it will be either very efficient, nor very pretty (I
think the page may clear on each expiration), but it will do the job if
nothing else becomes available.

if you lurk around here at all you will learn (and i am teaching you)
that recommending matt's crap is NOT a good thing to do. especially for
newbies who don't know how to fix the myriad of bugs in his code. but of
course the OP will see your post now and go there and get infected by
the matt virus. thank you for spreading that plague. you are now

I'm having trouble persuading Exporter to work. Here is sample code
which doesn't work ... but which, according to my read of perldoc
Exporter, should work. Specifically, I would like to think that the
variable "$frog" is available in the program "doit", via the implicit
"import" performed on execution of the "use test;" statement. But that
doesn't seem to happen. Insights?
uluc05{root}: cat doit

uluc05{root}: cat test.pm
package test;

Two problems off the bat:
1) lowercase package names are reserved for Pragmata. Try Test.pm instead
of test.pm.
2) (much more important) Exporter cannot export lexical ("my") variables,
only package variables. Your lexical variables will not work here.

OK, I'm not Randal but here's a slightly simpler
illustration:
-- Foo.pm --
package Foo;
use strict;
use Exporter;
use vars qw(@EXPORT_OK @ISA $colour);
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT_OK = qw($colour);
$colour = 'octarine';
1;
-- end --
-- test.pl --
use Foo qw($colour);
print "$colour\n";
-- end --
Note that I've used EXPORT_OK as recommended in "perldoc
Exporter".

Huh? He's looking for a tool that will translate the crontab into

I'm not sure I understand fully what your symptoms are. But in all
likelihood the lack of whitespace around the '+' operators is misleading
you as to the actual parsing of the expression.
Because the precedence of '*' is higher than that of '+' (just as in
ordinary arithmetic), the subscript is being parsed as:
[(($#db_cols + 1) * $counter) + 2]
when what you want is probably this:
[($#db_cols + 1) * ($counter + 2)]
So put in the parentheses as shown, and try again. And don't be misled
by whitespace in the future. :-)

The relevant documentation is perldoc perlcompile in version 5.6.0
The important thing to answer your question is that the Bytecode
back-end has the following status (according to the documentation)
"some things work, some things don't, some things are untested".
"byteperl"'s appearance in the documentation appears to me to be an
error, an holdover from discontinued developement. The new model is

I think that, in order to use the .so file, you'll need a modified A.pm

Of course, you know that compiling your module like this won't make it any

Well, unfortunately, I don't have such an example. But if and when you
find one, be sure to pass it on to the maintainer of that module, so that
it can be included with the docs in a future version. Thanks!

When I started this thread I actually wanted to use h & c (not x) as
exportable subroutines (without qualification in expressions), & the
prototyping fixed that.
Now I find I'd like to use s & m in the same way, but I can't get perl
to swallow that.
Would you know a way to do it, if I don't blame you for the consequences?

s, m, and y are built-in operators. If you _could_ convince perl to use
functions with those names, and I don't think you can, you'd soon deeply
regret the loss of s/// and m//.
Still, a future version of Perl could allow you to rename s/// and m//,
much like y/// has the "other name" of tr///....

A lot of Perl keywords are not overridable. [CPerl shows overridable
and non-overridable keywords in different colors.]

I can't help you with your problem, but I still feel the urge to remark
you that mSQL IS NOT THE SAME as MySQL. Those are similar but unrelated
products.

Me either :-(.

True, but the DBD modules to handle the two of them come bundled
together. The OP seems to consistently refer to mSQL so that is
apparently what he wants.

Hi,
I'm sure this subject was covered before so I apologize.
I went through the FAQ's but am totally lost, and I'm also
new to perl and c, so that probably makes the situation
worse...
Can someone be polite enough to give me pointers or guides to create
an exe on win(9x) from a simple perl script?
say this:
#/usr/bin/perl
print "Hell, World.\n";
# yes, it's hell cause it aint wokin' yet :(
is the perl code, and all I want is to have an exe file
which, I assume will run by itself, without perl.exe.
If in LINUX, what should I need for cross compiling?
If in win95, what should I use for compilers?
Perl in my LINUX box is 5.00503.
Also, I think I have successfully built a cross compiler with
the mingw32 packages (no errors during the build, atleast).
Perl in my win95 is ActivePerl Build 519.
I have cygwinb20, devc++3.97 (from bloodshed), and the free
borland c++5.5 (and djgpp :).
VisiStud is too expensive...
Sorry if I may be asking too much at once.
Much Thanks in Advance,
jamie
ps
a CC e-mail of your response will be appreciated, since bandwidth
still costs an arm and a leg here in japan ;(
