Subject: Perl 5.6 installation questions on the "make test"
Message-Id: <8ev0g6$avf$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
I'm compiling perl-5.6.0 on Unixware 7.1. When I
do the make test I get two routines that fail.
./perl lib/io_unix.t

Use of uninitialized value in print at
lib/io_unix.t line 82.

I used Unixware compiler to compile perl, I also
tried compiling with gcc-2.95.2 and get 27 errors
during "make test". What are these errors and
are they a problem?

Hi,
We have installed perl5.6 on HP-UX 11. We are trying to install the DBI
and DBD modules for the Oracle8i database connection. We have
used DBI1.13 and DBD1.03 modules. DBI compiles and runs thru the test
successfully. Having problems with DBD module. It does'nt pass
"make test". We get oracle errors.
Do we need to install any other drivers?

Backticks has nothing to do with system().
His problem is that he forgot to put $command inside quotes:
$rc = system("$command");

^^^^
Absurd!
When executing commands on the system, you use whatever has
the *semantics* that you want accomplished.
If you want the exit value of the program, use system().
If you want to _replace_ your perl program with the program,
use exec(). Your perl program ceases to exist after exec(),
so beginning Perl programmers almost never want to use
this way of running external programs.
If you want the *output* of the program all at once,
use backticks ( qx// ). Your program waits for the external
program to finish and puts _all_ of the output into memory.
If you want the output of the program a "bit at a time",
use a "pipe open" (perldoc -f open). This uses only
"a bit" of memory at a time.
>quotes:
>
> $command = `cp ~/dir1/*.c ~dir2";
^
^
Backticks capture the *output* of the command.
Most cp(1)s that I know don't make interesting (std) output.
The exit value is likely interesting though.
>Generally, the rule is:

You have apples (quoting methods) and oranges (running external
programs) listed together there.
Quoting with interpolation and backslash escapes:
""
qq//
qq()
<<"ENDTEXT"; # here-doc with explicit double quotes
<<ENDTEXT; # here-doc defaults to "double quotish"
other "double quotish" places, such as the pattern in m//
Quoting with neither interpolation nor (most) backslash escapes:
''
q//
q()
<<'ENDTEXT'; # here-doc
Running external programs:
See the 4 above, or: perldoc -q STDERR

I guess I do see how this will extract the 20.62 from the
string.
Is there a way in perl to do this, i.e., extract the 20.62 from
the given string?

I don't think so:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $t1 = 'UPS Ground - $20.62';
my $t2 = "$t1"; #useless use of quotes
print "\$t1 -> $t1\n";
print "\$t2 -> $t2\n";

No (if that is what you _want_, and you often do).
But *both* of your examples reinitialize $var!
I think you meant "redeclaring" there instead of "re-intializing" ?
I will assume so.

Not at all.
In fact, the first way is likely *better* than the second way
(unless you _need_ to "see" $var elsewhere in your program).
The first way reduces your chances of using the same variable
name for a different purpose, causing hard-to-find bugs.
This issue is called variable "scoping" (or "visibility"),
and is standard Computer Science, nothing particular to
Perl there.
See the Perl FAQ, part 7:
"What's the difference between dynamic and lexical (static) scoping?
Between local() and my()?"
>Like,
>I don't know, memory problems or something?
The first may take a few more milli/micro seconds to run, but
will likely save *millions and millions* of those time units
by avoiding even just _one_ human debugging session.
Cycles are cheap. Labor is expensive (and we're Lazy too).

>etc. But who knows, I don't know, that's why I'm asking. =)
All programmers in whatever language should understand scoping.
Keep poking around until you "get it".
Good luck!

You should enable warnings (-w) and the "use strict" pragma here.
perl will help you find common mistakes if you ask it to.
Take all of the help that you can get.

Single quotes should be used for constant strings (unless you
need backslash escapes).
This is just to make understanding the code easier, it will
work either way.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No it doesn't, as pointed out in another followup.
>@katalog = grep { /[^\.+]/ } readdir (KAT);
^^^^^^^
You did not even read the "contract" (perldoc -f readdir)
before signing it.
You are asking for it. You got what you deserved. So don't do that :-)
When using OPC (Other People's Code) you should, at the very
least, find out what the other person claims it will do.
The description for readdir() addresses exactly your problem!
"If you're planning to filetest the return values out of
a readdir(), you'd better ..."
You would have had the answer to your problem in less time
than it took you to type in your Usenet post!
Work smart, use the docs.
The *first* place to look when having problems with perl is
in the docs that came with it.

If you're wishing merely to _find_ (as opposed to write) programs,
this newsgroup may not be the best resource for you. There are many
freeware and shareware archives which you can find by searching Yahoo
or a similar service.
But it sounds easy to do with LWP, from CPAN.
Hope this helps!

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.
