Message-Id: <8hl1oc$ift$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
How do i run a batch file from my cgi-bin?
i've tried using the following code:
--------------------------------------------
#!C:\perl\5.00503\bin\perl
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
$var = 'e:\jrun\stop.bat';
system($var);
print "Server Stopped";
---------------------------------------------
this works fine if i run it as a standalone perl file from the command
prompt, but if i run it through the cgi-bin it does not work?
Does anyone have any ideas?
regards,
rob

Would e: be a network drive? Try placing it on c: and have another go.
If you're on NT you really should run it as a .cmd file rather than a
.bat

Message-Id: <8hkttm$fr1$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Hi all. Good day!
I am actually new with Perl/CGI. And I have a project to finish.
I have a problem with my script. My script goes something like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# result.cgi
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
$result = `/sbin/dev -l /dev/sda`;
print "This is the result:: $result\n";
.
.
.
.
when i try to run this in my browser, only this can be shown,
"This is the result:: " ...$result doesn't give any value.
i tried looking at the error log, it says there;
"Cannot open /dev/sda"
but i tried running it in shell command line: ./result.cgi
this is the result::
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1111 cylinders
.....
..... and etc....
it would mean that /dev/sda can be seen. I need to see those data
produced by that command. But why is it that when I run it in the
browser, it cannot see /dev/sda. And I need to run it thru a browser.
Am I missing some configurations here?
My other scripts without such shell sommand is working well.
I would really appreciate it if you can help me with this problem. I
tried using "exec", "system" & "syscall" but it will just produce the
same result.
Thanks in advance.

If you change file permissions for /dev/sda (eg chmod a+rx /dev/sda in
shell) this problem should go away.
(I had this problem myself once. After banging my head for far too long I
found out that the file permissions were wrong.....Aarghh! CGI processes
dont log in as you so dont have your file permissions ... Doh!)
Hope this is a help.

You're wrong. :-)
Actually, conceptually, you're right. But if you do it like you did, in
a double-quotish string, the backslash will be used to escape the dollar
sign and disappear. It prevents putting the contents of the variable
$INTERNAL in the string.
You want the backslash to appear in the *final* string, because it will
have to escape the dollar sign in the *regex*.
If you do:
print $vbl;
it should print:
\$INTERNAL
Now, there are several ways to achieve this. Larry Rosler described a
few. I'll try to give a more complete list:
$re = "\\\$INTERNAL";
$re = '\\$INTERNAL'; # '\\' is single backslash
$re = '\$INTERNAL';
# '\$' is not special in single quoted strings
$re = quotemeta('$INTERNAL');
$string = '$INTERNAL'; $re = "\Q$string";
all with /$re/.
print $re;
should print
\$INTERNAL
in all cases.
Or, alternatively:
$vbs = '$INTERNAL';
/\Q$vbs/

Subject: split line like "a","b","c"
Message-Id: <393ddb49.216520199@news.jps.net>
I'm using Perl 5.6 on Win32.
I have a file with lines that look like
"a","b","c"\n
I want to split these into different variables, something like
while <> {
($a, $b, $c) = split /,/;
}
but this leaves me with "a" in $a, "b" in $b, and "c" in $c.
I'd like to do something besides
foreach $x ($a,$b,$c) { s/"/$x/;}
to get rid of the quotes. Ideally, I could do something to $_ to keep
the quotes from going into the variables.
Thanks in advance,
Bryan

You can use map:
while (<>) {
($a,$b,$c) = map { /([^"]*)/; $1 } split /,/;
}

Also check the module Text::ParseWords. This will also be able to split
this correctly:
"def", 123, "this is a text with spaces"

Can the stuff between quotes contain comma's? In that case, a simple
split won't do. Besides, you forgot chomp(). Your last field will be
"c"\n not "c".
Anyway, I like:
s/^"// and /"$//;
which will only attempt to delete a final quote, if the string started
with a quote (which got deleted too).
And for the "comma inside the quotes" problem, look at the FAQ,
perlfaq4:
How can I split a [character] delimited string except when inside
[character]? (Comma-separated files)

Which is really the same as the foreach fix, but with a more complicated
regex...
I suggest stripping the quotes before the split - that way you only need
to use the regex once, not three times (or maybe 26 times if his data
really goes "a","b",...,"z"\n)
use Benchmark;
timethese(1000000, {
'map' => sub{$_='"a","b","c"';
($a,$b,$c) = map { /"([^"]*)/; $1 } split /,/;},
'foreach' => sub{$_='"a","b","c"';
($a,$b,$c) = split /,/;
foreach $x ($a,$b,$c) { s/"/$x/;}},
'regex' => sub{$_='"a","b","c"';
s/"//g;
($a,$b,$c) = split /,/;},
});
Benchmark: timing 1000000 iterations of foreach, map, regex...
foreach: 42 secs (42.20 usr 0.00 sys = 42.20 cpu)
map: 50 secs (49.95 usr 0.00 sys = 49.95 cpu)
regex: 23 secs (23.52 usr 0.00 sys = 23.52 cpu)

Probably Windows-1252.
But ISO-8859-15 aka Latin9 AFAIK (has|will have) the Euro symbol at 0xA4

It's simple. All characters used in the definition of virtually any
programming language, including Perl, are in Ascii. No accented
characters or anything like that. (I'm talking about the language
itself, not embedded literal strings.) Didn't you ever notice?

I tend to agree. Probably everything should be done so that tie()ing
an existing hash to a *DBM module is as painless as possible. On the
other hand, I understand an implementor who is leery of supplanting
a function by an almost-but-not-quite equivalent. Issuing an optional
warning is probably a good compromise.

I don't get it.
How can Microsoft stuff be THE standard in such environments, while with
MS "upgrading" is the way of life?

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.
