Subject: Building perl 5.6 on SCO Openserver 5

Hi all
This is essentially the same message I posted on comp.unix.sco.misc and
comp.unix.sco.programmer a few days ago but somebody there said you
people might be able to help, so:
Briefly: has anybody got Perl installed on SCO Openserver 5.0.5, with
the DBI and mSQL/mySQL DBD functional? I'm trying to get there and not
having much success.
I've been trying to get the Perl DBI to build so I can interface my perl
scripts with MySQL for CGI databasing work. Alas, I can't get the DBI to
compile when I've got the Skunkware98 perl [a pre-distributed binary
perl]
installed: (it warns of
missing files in perl's CORE directory, suggests I build my own perl).
The Skunkware98 perl works perfectly in all other respects. So I tried
to build perl from source on my system using the Development System's cc
(gcc 2.8.0 didn't want to work). After a few battles, I've got a
successful make, but make test spits out a long string of errors with no
clear pattern to them. (I've included the make test output at the bottom
in case anybody is mad enough to want to read it).
I've had to make the following changes to the Configure defaults to get
a successful make (I have _not_ edited config.sh!):
Added lib directories /udk/usr/ccs/lib /udk/usr/lib
Added /udk/bin, /udk/usr/ccs/bin to $PATH env var so make can find
ld etc
Those are all the changes I've made.
I've never done this before (compiling on UNIX) so I'm probably making
an idiotic mistake that I'd be very glad if some kind person out there
could point out to me...
Here is the make test output, it may shed some light on the situation
for somebody who has done this before (sorry about the huge message):

Why?
Why would people waste their time troubleshooting code that does
not really exist?
You must have the program text somewhere. FTP it to the machine
where you read news and include it in your posting.

You should probably be using a hash data structure.

Subject: help with sprint "%..."
Message-Id: <cCY15.862$ai.53392@news1.atlantic.net>
This is a little code from my assembler.
It is looking for a '+' in a string.
If there is a '+', I need to reserve 6 bytes for the memory address. If
not, I reserve 4 bytes.
Here is my code (not particularly elegant, I know)
if ($Operand1 =~ /^\+/)
{ $Width = 6 } else { $Width = 4 } #set up a width variable, but
how do I use it?
# Besides the '+', I also have to determine if the I know the memory
address.
# This 'if' figures this out
# It doesn't handle the '+' problem
# I'm hoping there is a way to substitute $Width into the sprintf statement
if (exists ($Symtab{$Operand1})) # if the operand is in the symbol
table
$Operand_address = sprintf "%04X", $Symtab{$Operand1};
}
else # if the operand is not in the
symbol table
$Operand_address = sprintf "%04X", 0;
}
Thanks,

^^^^^^
There is the root cause of your misunderstanding.
shebang lines are done by the _kernel_, not the shell.

The kernel does not know about "environment variables" or "paths",
only the shell knows of such things.
That is why you need an absolute path in the shebang line.
You have a Unix question rather than a Perl question.

You're thinking of Network Time Protocol (NTP), on port 123.
I don't know of anything perlish to handle NTP. Typically you use ntpd
to getting the whole system in sync rather than just a user program.
Assuming we're talking unix.

I had no problems at all learning to program Perl from the manuals.
And that was about 5 years ago, when the manuals where smaller than
they are now.
But one must realize that the Perl manuals are manuals for a specific
language. They aren't an introduction to programmers textbook. (And
nor is any Perl book I've seen).

While Microsoft can be blamed for a lot, they cannot be blamed for the
"crippling" of the web. Remember that Bill Gates initialized missed the
Internet bandwagon completely.
Mark Andreesen and his 40 robbers had crippled the web with the
"extensions" in Netscape before Microsoft introduced Internet Explorer.
Netscape wanted to be big, so it played the role that is traditionally
assigned to Microsoft.

Hi,
I am running a new site(http://www.devcritic.com) and i was
wondering if you people knew some good Perl resource sites that
i could add to the Perl part of the site directory:
http://www.devcritic.com/sites/Perl/. Feel free to add any sites
by clicking "Add a site" on the side menu or tell me here and i
will add em to there.
Thanks in advance.

Okay, I've been way too long without sleep, and just couldn't resist:
# -*- perl -*-
package ScalarArray;
use strict;
use base qw/Tie::Array/;
# Usage: tie @array, ScalarArray, $array;
sub TIEARRAY { bless \$_[1], $_[0] }
sub FETCH { (split ' ' => $ {$_[0]})[$_[1]] }
sub FETCHSIZE { scalar split ' ' => ${$_[0]} }
sub STORE {
my @a = split ' ' => $ {$_[0]};
@a[$_[1]] = $_[2];
$ {$_[0]} = join ' ' => @a;
}
sub STORESIZE {
my @a = split ' ' => $ {$_[0]};
splice @a, $_[1];
$ {$_[0]} = join ' ' => @a;
}
1;
__END__
The use of a temporary array in STORE.* is a bit ugly, but I couldn't
think of a more elegant solution right now. Besides, the whole thing
is completely and fundamentally insane anyway..

Nope, I tried it here too, and had $host = '127.0.0.1' and it wouldn't
work.
The only example (from the docs) that would work for me was...
use Net::Ping;
$host = '127.0.0.1';
$p = Net::Ping->new("icmp");
print "$host is ";
print "NOT " unless $p->ping($host, 2);
print "reachable.\n";
$p->close();

Subject: Securing script edited data on a public server
Message-Id: <0168a1c1.19049afc@usw-ex0109-069.remarq.com>
Hi
If I host some scripts on a public server that require a
data file with permission of 777 to exist so that the
script can update the data, what is to stop another user on
the server from editing the data using their own script?
Ie, say it was a well known piece of freeware, the source
is known and it would be easy for a malicious user to guess
the path to the data file, how can I protect my data?
I vaguely remember something about setting the effective
user id(?) of the script to run as user rather than nobody,
and then setting data file permissions to 700 to stop
everyone else from reading the data.
How close to the mark am I?
any thoughts/links etc appreciated
Thanks
cLive ;-)

I asked everyone I met on the Perl Whirl what was the LAST program or
piece of code you wrote in perl and what was it for and < 1% were cgi or
web related. This included Sarathy, Larry, Tom C. Randall, MJD, Andreas
Koenig, etc. I thought it was quite a statement, but perhaps says more
about the people on the trip.

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.

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.
