The command system is a new one on me. I have seen machines setup so
that there are more than one Progra* directory (where star represents
multiple characters), and therefor Progra~1 may not refer to \Program
Files.
I assume that you are filling in the rest of the -C and -Y commands,
otherwise SS _could_ be waiting for this information. (NT2K is
particularly nasty about hiding newly opened dialogs behind other
windows).
You might look at using the SSUser & SSPwd environment variables as
User Environment Variable, if you're using NT. As user environment
variables, they're protected by NT's security, and only become
available when that specific user logs in. All the same, you may want
to think long & hard about using SSPwd, and you definitely do not want
to use it under Win95.
HTH,
David.

Huh? You must mean foreslashes, since there is nothing but
backslashes in there. Many WIntel programs (including SS) accept
either / or - for indicating flags.

Did you actualy replace the 'system' with 'print' before you posted your

What Tom is saying is the \ is an escape sequence for Perl
So, if you want a \, use \\.

Hello... I'm looking into multithreading with Perl. Firstly - is it
possible? I've found no information on the subject so far.
Secondly - is it efficient, or would I be better off doing it with C or

Its depend on the Perl version you are using. A good way to check
that is to type
$ perldoc -m Thread
at the command line. Version 5.005_03 (built for i386-linux) does not
answer (No documentation found for "Thread") while Version 5.6.0 (built
for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread) results in good a Thread.pm explanation.
Of course, type
$ perl -v
seems to be a valid alternative. ;)

Many other programming tecniques seem to be less easy in Java than in
Perl...

Perhaps they intend to run the source thru the MASM assembler for i86.
That one uses the semicolon for comments (the same way C++ uses //)

You could think of a different approach. If possible, you could let
mysql calculate those distances and have them returned as an extra
column in your result set. That way you won't have to bother storing and
sorting yourself, but let mysql do it for you.
just a thought...

If it is global couldn't he get at it via something like:
$var3 = $var2 =~ /(.*::)(.*)/ ? ${$::{$1}{$2}} : ${$::{$var2}}
Or is that just too complicated?

But that will probably be the only place _any_ syntax checker will find
that a '}' is missing.
It looks like poor development strategy to type 50K of program without
testing once during the process. Usually you'll know where you
added/removed/chaged the last block :-)

Use ftp with binary transfer mode. A way to strip trailing trash
carriage return character in vi, one of the Unix standard editors, is to
submit the following command:
:%s/^M//
To insert the Ctrl+M character press [Ctrl]+[V] followed by
[Ctrl]+[M].
And now, what is your Perl question?

Hmmm... Sed can write symbols from an alphabet to a tape (a conceptually

and it can inspect these to decide where to write what next. I tentatively

perhaps it failed because you didnt declare $date2 or $timestamp in your my ()

You never declared these variables. Put a "my" in front of each of these
statements, and it should work.

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.
