You should probably write a Perl program to handle this. Whether you
choose to use Perl or not, you'll probably want to search for the docs,
FAQs, and newsgroups about CGI programming, such as
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi. Cheers!

To guarantee that it continues to happen across major versions, of course.
And to let people who want to see exactly what perl's supposed to be

I was't arguing that a formal standard was needed, merely that it would be
a good thing. And it's possible that Gojira actually does have a
legitimate issue with some undocumented change in behaviour.

It would help, I think, if you shot at the target that was there, rather

You asked for that courtesy while simultaneously trying to insult me,
while at the same time missing the relationship between what Gojira and
Godzilla.
I assumed this was a heavy-handed and rather unsophisticated attempt at
irony.

Your message was still marked as coming from a giant radiation-spewing
lizard. You tacked on a name and credential to the end but, as I said,
they didn't verify. The UCal system has no record of you as a current
faculty or staff member in their publically accessible record.
Regardless, none of this is perl related, and I'll restrict myself to that
with you from now on.

You claimed to be able to do in 30 lines what all of CGI.pm does. Short of
leaving out newlines, that's just impossible.

There is no contradiction. Larry rewrote the code making up perl 4 and
produced perl 5. He later handed off the responsibility for direct
development to other folks, but still retains final say and responsibility
for what is in perl 5.

Claims with no backing are baseless. Code, please. Besides, if you're as
good as you say then posting code won't hurt you in the least, as your

Gisle and Martijn are the two people who wrote the LWP module. (Which you,

Bug reports, please. If perl 5 isn't behaving the same way as perl 4, file
bug reports. You haven't, to date, reported any.
Wedging modules into perl 4 wasn't possible, and it did require a fairly
major overhaul to get them in.

Perl 5 predates both ASP and Java, Gojira.

Why are you rebuilding IO? It's one of the standard modules. You already
have it. (And version 1.20, FWIW, since that's what ships with perl 5.6.0)

Subject: Building Perl on AIX using gcc rather than VAC++
Message-Id: <cnaqcnggtybonyarg.fw26gx0.pminews@news2.attglobal.net>
I'm wanting to build Perl 5.6.0 on AIX using gcc rather than the IBM supplied
compiler (which is an extra cost option which we don't have).
After reading INSTALL I tried -
sh Configure -Dcc=gcc
but it fails - looks like specifying [aix] during the setup process overrides
this and starts feeding the compiler the IBM C compiler parameters.
Later on in the process it complains about various compile options not being
valid and also not being able to find cc1 (which I think is the IBM
compiler).
Anyone got any clues for me ?
TIA

That shouldn't happen. But have you seen the hints/aix.sh file? That may
need some fixing. Good luck with it!

Subject: CGI::Fast needs perl with sfio?
Message-Id: <8i33gq$b75$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Hello,
I want to use CGI::Fast. The documentation refers to the fastcgi
web site, saying that a patch kit is needed for Perl. From that
web site, I take it that I need to compile Perl to have the io
done with sfio. Is that correct?
The problem is that I can't get sfio97 to compile. I have a very
generic linux (RH 6.0), and I can get sfio99 to compile, but
on CPAN is listed sfio97, and I'm worried there is a mismatch.
If anyone can either give me a hint about how to compile '97 (I
followed the directions), or tell me that '99 is OK, or let me know
the best way to use CGI::Fast, I'd be very grateful.
(By the way, I've also tried FCGI-0.52, but it won't allow CGI.pm
to work.)
Thanks,
Jim Hefferon

You almost certainly don't want to implement something like Blowfish
directly in Perl. Even "compiling" it won't make it reasonably fast.
Instead, you want to make a module which calls the C code, which compiles
efficiently. If you do it properly, it should work on Unix, Windows, and
other systems. See the perlxs and perlxstut manpages, and h2xs. Good luck
with it!

I am not aware of any difference in function. The &my_sub is, in my
opinion, not as nice to read as my_sub(). The & notation is old but
still works. If there is a difference, I've not run into it.

Subject: filling a buffer with a pattern
Message-Id: <8i2v5r$80j$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
hi,
I am in the process of rewriting a disk test suite written in C to perl.
During this process I came across a problem. I have a piece of C code for
which I could think of no perl equivalent. Here it is:
void fill_buffer(char *buffer, unsigned long size, unsigned long pattern)
{
unsigned long *bp;
int i;
buffer = (char *)malloc(size);
bp =(unsigned long *)buffer;
for (i=0; i < size/sizeof(unsigned long); i++)
*bp++=pattern;
}
and later on is written to the device as
write(target_fd, buffer, size);
.
.
patterns are of type
0xaaaaaaaa
0xff00ff00
0x55555555
etc.
Now my question is how does one do the same in perl? that is given a pattern,
how can i treat it as a long and duplicate it n times?
Thanks in advance,
Raju

Probably with pack() and the 'x' operator, although I can think of at

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.
