A 'Broken Pipe' occurs when you attempt to write to a socket (or any file
descriptor) whose reading end is closed - the OS sends you a SIGPIPE, or
returns EPIPE on the failed write attempt. Are you trying to pass large
amounts of data at a time through the socket? If the socket dies midway
through the write, this may happen even though the socket was 100%
operational when the write began. You may want to set $SIG{PIPE} to IGNORE
(this allows the write command to return the error as opposed to receiving a
signal which isn't safe), and use the syswrite() command to pass data to the
socket, always checking the value of $!. I'm not sure which value of $!
(the ERRNO) corresponds to EPIPE, but it shouldn't be hard to figure it out,
and it may be in the POSIX module. Good luck!

Well, let's see. First, you let it print "Content-type: text/html"
followed by two newlines, then you let it print "Hello world"
followed by a newline.
() output:-
() -------
()
() Content-type: text/html
()
() Hello World
And guess what? The output is "Content-type: text/html", 2 newlines,
"Hello world" and a newline.
I fail to see why this is surprising to you.
() does it mean I can not specify my content type.
I don't know. That's not a Perl question. Perl doesn't care about
content types. Content types aren't Perl things. Now, you might use
your program in a certain environment that deals with "Content-type"s.
You don't tell use what than environment is, so it's impossible to
answer. But, even if you told us, it's off-topic in this group.
Experience has shown that your question is most likely CGI related.
If you want to know whether, and how, you can set Content-types in
CGI related programs, ask in a group related about CGI.
It's down the hall, to your left. Just follow the smell.

Why not CC your response via email? That way they get the answer
immediately, and your post goes through for the record?

Good point.
<thinks>
The bot could easily be programmed to recognise a "change of address"
command. Before you change email addresses, simply email the bot with
your new address, and it will update its database so you don't have to
wait again.
Much how commands to list servers work.

It is not designed to make life easier for newbies. Life is already as
easy for newbies as it can possiby be - they have free reign to exploit
the gurus here at their pleasure. Nothing can possibly make it any
better for them.
It aims to protect the gurus from parasites by filtering out really
impatient people. If it accomplishes that, then the guru burn-out rate
should drop, and they will be able to hang around longer sharing their
collected wisdom with _genuine_ newbies.
If you are a _genuine_ newbie, that means you get access to more gurus,
for a longer period of time.

Impatient people with _questions_ can check the FAQ and the web.
Impatient people with _answers_ can CC email them straight to the person
asking the question.

Have a bit of a play with this script and you'll find out, first-hand,
what Abigail and Tom are talking about.
Basically, what it amounts to is that there is no _reliable_ way of
finding out whether or not an email address is valid or not. Regardless
of how clever your program is, you're not going to get anywhere near a
confidence level of 100%. You'd be lucky to break 50%.
Leave the "Debug" setting at 1 (you can turn it off by setting it to 0).
With debug mode on, you'll see all the gory communications that pass
between you and the mail server at the other end.
Point it at a pile of different servers, and you'll see how there is
variation in the way that they respond. You'll notice that some don't
respond at all. You'll see some bizarre things that just don't seem to
make any sense. You'll find addresses which _do_not_ verify can
actually be delivered to, and you'll find addresses that _do_ verify
will reject your deliver attempts.
Welcome to the world of SMTP!
After you play with this for a few hours, or a few days, you'll give up.
Everyone does. But in that time you will have proven, _to_yourself_
that what the folks have told you here is pretty darn accurate.
You _cannot_, in any reliable manner whatsoever, determine if an email
address is valid or not.
And once you've experienced this truth for yourself, you can spread the
word, put people straight in other forums apart from this, save a lot of
people a lot of time, and make the world a better place.
Henry.

It sounds as if you have a question about CGI programming. Perhaps you
want to search for the docs, FAQs, and newsgroups about CGI programming.
Reading comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi may help you to get started.

To find the files in a given directory:
perldoc -f opendir
perldoc -f readdir
perldoc -f closedir
To filter which of the files you want:
perldoc -f grep
To find out info about each particular file:
perldoc File::stat
(perldoc -f stat)

I asked you to "make a small, self-contained example program to show this
behavior." This is not that; you've omitted your definition of new().
Without that I can only guess that you didn't make a typed lexical.

Did you try? If you had a demo script which included a proper new()

Well, the bug must be in the part you left out. :-) Cheers!

You already posted this once, with a different (but equally vague) subject

lines. It will be a big help to you in making it more likely that your

http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/Dean_Roehrich/subjects.post
If your posting didn't get an answer the first time you asked it, there
may be a good reason for that. Posting again isn't likely to fix anything,
unless you've changed something.
If you've asked clearly and no one has responded in a reasonable amount of
time, there's something else you can try before asking again. In reading
the newsgroup during the last month (you _have_ been doing that, haven't
you?) you must have noticed at least two or three people who post
frequently, politely, and accurately. A short, polite letter by private
e-mail to one of these folks asking for meta-help (help on getting help on
your problem) would not be out of line.
Thanks.

Perhaps you meant to ask this in a newsgroup about DNS (or something like
that) rather than one about Perl. But, briefly, no, those are not separate
domains but subdomains. Your DNS administrator should be able to help you
with this. If you _are_ the DNS administrator, you should probably read
O'Reilly's "DNS and Bind" or a similar good book on DNS. Cheers!

Must be new in 5.6.0; it's not there in 5.005_03.

try cmd= instead of cgi=, but then specify the absolute path to the file
you want to be executed.

in the perl file, comment out the line above, the one that prints the
content-type declaration. you anyway don't need that.
no guarantee that this will work, it's just an idea.

what iis does is imho just stupid. if you want to include the output of
a script into your html document, there is no case where a http header
makes sense. at least i can't imagine such a case... well, maybe iis
just does do that because your script begins playing with headers, but
that doesn't change a lot - iis: "sorry, the user began these stupid
things, that's why i continued doing stupid things..." :)
maybe you could configure iis the way that there is no header when
including output of cgi apps, don't know. but however, microsoft's
default settings are again stupid, as seen already with outlook & co.

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.
