I think that both Marcus and I have mentioned the same thing, that you
need a local server installed on your pc. Since Apache is such a wide
spread server on Unix (over 66% ?) I used the Apache v1.3.9 for Windows. If
you want I can send you the exe file for the install, or download it from
the Apache Web Site (www.apache.org).
I think that we are having the same problems, and as soon as I have the
Apache correctly installed I can let you know what all the install mods are
to the Apache Config file. I start the apache (win9x) server software, then
use an html form (shop.htm) which executes a perl program (demo.pl) to order
products. If the form is filled out correctly, it replies back to the
browser session with "dear mr ___, thanks for ordering ___" (reply.htm). If
the form is not filled out correclty, it gives him an error message
(error.htm). If you like I can send you the demo. I tested it on a unix
server and it works, I just have to make it work with my local Apache Web
server on my Win 98 pc. This is necessary to have a local development
environment for testing.

I think this is what is happening to me. If I am running an Apache
Server v1.3.9 what do I have to do to make it stop doing this? Are you
familiar with the Apache Server?
Can this problem be caused by the problem with notepad.exe putting
CR/LFs in the file?

Yes, I am trying to write large amounts of data.
The server which again is something that I wrote(in perl) shuts down
"occassionally" before accepting all the data that the client is
sending it. What I mean by occassionally is that sometimes it accepts the same
exact data but some times it exits prematurely.
Rather than figuring out why the server is exiting, I decided to handle this
exception on the client side.
I will try out your suggestion and see if that works.
Thanks,

That there would be *any* collateral damage is not, IMO, acceptable.
Naturally, I speak for myself, rather than the group at large, but my
reading of the group leads me to think that many would agree.
Also, I don't see any way to implement your proposal without turning
this into a moderated group, even if the moderation is purely
mechanical. I do not believe, based on the discussions that led to
the creation of c.l.p.moderated, that such a proposal would pass.
For what it's worth, I do not believe the problem you're trying to
address is fixable at this level. The difficulties arise from the
fact that there are many people who don't know the recognized
standards/methods for certain things. Specifically, the methods used
to read documentation and the standards of usenet. Then, of course,
there are people who are just (K)LBs. My opinion, of course.

True, but...
If an infant doesn't know how to talk, do parents give up trying to
teach them?
What if the whole community decided that, rather than making the effort
to at least _try_ and teach their children to talk, that they just let
the children be and hope they work it out for themselves?
Would that lead to a better community?
Ten years of formal education is _compulsory_ in Australia. Probably a
similar amount is _compulsory_ in your's to. Kids may not like it, and
they often bitch and moan about it, but they are _forced_ to go through
it for some very, very good reasons.

Well, for one, when I post a question for the first time on a group, it's
usually because I can't find the answer already listed in the previous posts.
New questions answered may help other new people on the group without needing
to post. And, After 6 hours (or however long you said the delay should be), I
usually lose the thought process I was on. The way I see it, all people using
newsgroups start as lurkers, or parasites. Even "newbies" or "parasites" can
become gurus with other peoples' help. ...Which can benefit others in the
group in time. Newsgroups are of no use without posts, delaying would hinder
the entire purpose of them. Just my opinion.

That is not a very good solution -- emailing an answer to a
poster without also posting to the group is generally not a
good idea because you might have made an error and your email-only
answer does not get any peer review. Your solution amounts to nearly
the same thing -- if I CC an incorrect answer, the original poster
gets it right away in email, but it won't get peer reviewed for 8
days (by which time the thread has likely run its course and the
original poster may be no longer tracking the group).
I still say that your proposed solution puts more burdens upon the
new poster who *does* have something useful to contribute than the
new poster who is merely asking a FAQ and doesn't know the rules.
You said once before that you wanted data points -- well here is a
single data point for whatever it may be worth to you: I, for one,
would not participate in the group you are describing.

Message-Id: <8ij53h$63r$1@news.smartworld.net>
Hopefully this is the right group, if not, I apologize. I'm trying to make a
script filter out files of a certain type, such as if I wanted to filter out
cgi files so other users can't install CGI on my site (just an example). I
would like to know what the filter would be to check the last 3 letters of a
filename (the extension mainly) and see if they match a certain 3, and
return an error page if they match (saying that they can't upload that type
of file). Hope I explained it well enough - basicaly I don't want people
installing CGI files and running them. Thanks.

It would be much more secure to allow uploads only to directories whose
contents can never be considered programs by your webserver, don't you
think?
As a webserver admin, I would not let any untrusted person install
anything into a program directory.

Of course, you probably want to check the last four characters of the
filename, rather than just the last three letters. That sounds like a
substring and string equality test, although many folks would just use a
pattern match. See substr in the perlfunc manpage and 'eq' in the perlop
manpage.
> BTW: Please e-mail responses, I don't visit this group too often
Okay - but you should generally expect to read responses in the newsgroup;
not everyone will send you a copy of a posting, as I'm doing.

Oh, probably something like:
($theirUserName,$theirMailServer) = split /@/, $emailAddress;
But the FAQ has a pointer to a package that can clean up email
addresses, which probably does this as well.
Naturally, if strategies other than port-mapping
(ipfwadm/ipchains/whatever) are used by the administrators of the target
domain to redirect packets on port 25, like Tom said (using MX as an
example, iirc), then there will be problems.
That is the whole point - to demonstrate that, regardless of how clever
the program is, there will _always_ be problems - some of which _can_ be
overcome, but some of which _can't_ be overcome.

The $m is undef and nothing else gets processed.
If this was part of a larger script, then the whole thing would probably
be wrapped in a loop and it could be written along the lines of:
ADDRESS: foreach $emailAddress (@addresses)
{
$m = Net::SMTP->new(...) or next ADDRESS;
...
Whatever floats your boat.

MX is not an example. The entire mail system is *based* on MX records.
And while domain name part of a mail address often looks like a host
name, it's not.

It's not _wrong_ Abigail. Depending on how you configure your forward
zone file it is perfectly functional and correct. Nothing _wrong_ about
it whatsoever!
You do realise it's entirely possible to have a fully functional domain,
with fully functional email, without using any MX records whatsoever -
don't you?
Of course, not _all_ administrators set up their domains that way. Some
anchor their domains on a web server which doesn't have sendmail and
they use MX records to slip mail to different machines.
The latitude in network configuration is what contributes to email
address validation being as unreliable as it is.

Yes, but it's utterly wrong to assume that all domains are set up that
way. Not having an MX record for a domain is a special exception - not
the default. RFC 974 describes it as "giving the domain the benefit of
doubt".

We understood. Abigail's point was that the available 'ways' -- FTP,

I believe (but don't quote me on this) that just saying:
use CGI qw(:standard);
print header();
Will do the proper thing under IIS. I don't have an IIS server handy
(THANK GOD) to test this, but my recollection is that the right thing
just happens.

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.
