yeah but as Ala said, tr/// is faster because you
don't have to use s/// and a regular expression;
you just want to replace one character

My secret decoder ring tells me the proper capitalization is:

Subject: Turning off "wrong volume" error in ActiveState?
Message-Id: <8hotq1$fro$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Does anyone know how to turn off the "wrong volume" error in
ActiveState perl? I've got a script that uses a win32 app to write a
diskette image to a floppy drive. Once I do that, if I try to open a
file on the floppy, I get a "wrong volume" error popup. I can ignore
the error, retry the open and everything works, but I want to run this
unattended.
It appears that ActiveState records all of the volume IDs when it
starts, as the open is the first access of this drive in my perl
program (other than the system call to the Win32 app).
I vaguely remember a Win32 IOCtl for turning off "file unavailable"
errors, so I'm going to go see if that also affects "wrong volume"
errors. If anyone has a solution, I'd love to hear about it!

I found SetErrorMode(SEM_NOOPENFILEERRORBOX) in Win32API::File, but it
doesn't disable the "wrong volume" error. I'm still stuck, and would
really appreciate any ideas.

remembering that you are dealing with html here, you might try to encode
the ampersand with & in the url and let the browser and webserver
'do the right thing' with it. ;o)
& must ALWAYS be writtin as & within html. (not necessarily always
within URLS, however it doesn't BECOME a URL til someone clicks it..) so
it needs to start as an & ;)

There is no session, and cookies aren't universally compatible.
Many people turn them off, or use browsers that can or won't read

You kept starting and ending forms, I got confused. This is a little
cleaner: (I monkeyed with indenting to keep it narrow enough)
sub print_form3 {
print header,
start_html('more about snacks'),
print start_form,
"More questions about the snacks you like."
#if likes ice cream
if (param ('ice_cream') eq '1')
{
h3("ICE CREAM"),
p,
"<BLOCKQUOTE>",
"What's your favorite flavor?",
p,
radio_group(
-name=>'flavors',
-linebreak=>1,
-values=>['1', '2'],
-labels=>{'1'=>'chocolate', '2'=>'vanilla'}
),
}
#if likes soda
if (param ('soda') eq '1')
{
h3("SODA"),
p,
"<BLOCKQUOTE>",
"What's your favorite sodar?",
p,
radio_group(
-name=>'favsoda',
-linebreak=>1,
-values=>['1', '2'],
-labels=>{'1'=>'jolt', '2'=>'sprite'}
),
}
#this is always displayed
"What's your favorite color?",
p,
radio_group(
-name=>'color',
-linebreak=>1,
-values=>['1',' 2'],
-labels=>{'1'=>'blue', '2'=>'green'}
),
p,
hidden(-name=>'flavors'),
hidden(-name=>'favsoda'),
hidden(-name=>'color'),
submit(-name=>'move', -value=>'page 4'),
end_form;
}
But im still unsure of the question. Or maybe the problem.
You are passing hidden tags with names but no value option.
Is this what you are intending? It is customary to have
a value associated with a name so that you can test against
it. As it is now, you will _never_ not have these 3 names
available, making any logic test flawed.

Subject: Using multiple objects many times
Message-Id: <8hooap$bft$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
This is kind of a follow up to my previous post:
"Perl and memory consumption"
I thank everyone for their helpful advice and utilizing it I was able to
reduce my overhead by about 900K.
Through some additional exploration, I've found that the modules I use
that I wrote myself consume around 900K. I think I'm doing something
wrong, but I'm not sure, so here's what I'm doing:
I have a series of 21 modules I use within a script. Each module is its
own class with one object within. The script itself uses four of these
modules directly, and the rest are used within those four in varying
amounts.
Each module is composed of less than 10,000 lines (mostly code, some
white space and comments) and most are far less than 2,000 lines.
As mentioned earlier, each module is a class with an object and in the
script I use these modules like so:
use EdcomLib::Auth;
use EdcomLib::SQL;
use EdcomLib::Tables;
use EdcomLib::CGI;
my $auth = new EdcomLib::Auth;
my $t = new EdcomLib::Tables;
my $s = new EdcomLib::SQL;
my $cgi = new EdcomLib::CGI;
Then, I do something similar in each of the above objects. For example:
package EdcomLib::Tables;
use strict;
use EdcomLib::SQL;
use EdcomLib::Cache;
use EdcomLib::Time;
sub new {
my $proto = shift;
my $class = ref($proto) || $proto;
my $self = {};
$self->{CACHE} = new EdcomLib::Cache;
$self->{SQL} = new EdcomLib::SQL;
$self->{TIME} = new EdcomLib::Time;
bless ($self,$class);
return $self;
}
Now is the part that confuses me. After merely 'using' those four
modules above in my script and then calling them with 'new' I have an
additional 800K of overhead.
Is this correct, or am I doing something wrong? Perhaps something goes
on behind the scenes that I'm unaware of?
Thanks!

Very useful article.. thanks for reposting the url here..
of particular note was his comment:
"The real root of the problem code is: It's fragile. You're mingling
unlike things when you do this. And if two of those unlike things happen
to have the same name, they'll collide and you'll get the wrong answer.
So you end up having a whole long list of names which you have to be
careful not to reuse, and if you screw up, you get a very bizarre error.
This is precisely the problem that namespaces were invented to solve,
and that's just what a hash is: A portable namespace. "
I like the idea of the 'portable namespace' and frankly I think I'll be
mentally referring to hashes that way from now on. :-)

Recently I have been trying to setup a message board on my site using Matt's
script from worldwidemart.com. I have uploaded the necessary files to run the
board (have no started on wwwadmin.pl yet). But when I try to post on the
board it would give me this errror message:
---------------------------------
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to
complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@kyphoto.com and inform them
of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have
caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
----------------------------
My board is located at: http://www.kyphoto.com/classics/forum
Path to Perl: /usr/bin/perl (this is what my server indicated)
$basedir: /classics/forum
$baseurl: http://www.kyphoto.com/classics/forum
$cgi_url: http://www.kyphoto.com/cgi-bin/wwwboard.pl
I have chmoded and placed all the necessary files in "forum" directory and
created a "message" directory in there. The only file I renamed was the
"wwwboard.html" to "index.html."
Any suggestions on how to clear this out? Please e-mail me your response if
possible.
Thank you in advance.

Message-Id: <393FFAA0.A28461D5@sei.cmu.edu>
One of the problems with Matt's scripts is that they usually take some
messing with (or a VERY normal installation) before they work correctly.
Is your base directory REALLY /classics/forum ? I mean (under, say,
Unix) that it is /classics/forum? If not, then this is the problem.
Usually, the web path and the computer directory aren't the same.
By changing the name from wwwboard.pl to index.pl, you are also going to
have to change the script (I think that it is a variable) to tell it the
name of the index page. This is because wwwboard writes the message
index directly into a html file (you guessed it, wwwboard.html), rather
than doing a SSI or some other such action.

>Usually, the web path and the computer directory aren't the same.
Hi, thanks for the tip, my board finally works! I emailed my website host and
they gave me the "correct" base directory, so that was the problem.
Sincerely yours,
Kar Yan Mak

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.
