Subject: [Q] Detailed list of changes in Perl sources
Message-Id: <slrn8nt6v2.35u.barbier@imacs.polytechnique.fr>
Hi,
is there somewhere a detailed list of changes in Perl sources?
Because i am embedding Perl in C, and i want to be aware of all versions
above 5.003.
For instance, perl_init_i18nl14n has been replaced by perl_init_i18nl10n
which is no more required in Perl 5.6.0 because it has been incorporated
into perl_construct.
So a solution is to check Perl version and put some #if's. I would
prefer checking symbols rather than Perl version, but i do not know how.
Another problem is with thread support, i can't find detailed
description on how to write portable (amongst Perl versions) prototypes
and function calls (e.g. for boot_DynaLoader).
Thanks for any pointer.
Denis

i can't recommend any sql books as i don't know them well. my sql
knowledge is enough to get me in trouble and do a few projects with dbi.
get effective perl programming. i call it idiomatic perl. it has many
style and technique points which are not always obvious.
perl cookbook is good for basic ways to do more complex things like
sockets, I/O, data structures, etc. lots of code examples and
recipes. almost more a browsing book than a read it all book. use its
index and TOC to see if it has stuff you need.
mastering regular expressions is a must even if it is somewhat
dated. the recent good news i heard is friedl has agreed to work on a
new edition.
object oriented perl is a must if you do any OO stuff. it is extremely
well written and you will learn much from it. it is for intermediate to
advanced hackers.
if you do apache/mod_perl then the writing apache modules with perl and
c is a great book to have. well written and in depth.
advanced perl programming is also a bit dated and i find some of its
topics not covered as well as they could be. but no other book even covers
some of them like perl guts, typeglobs, etc. stephen beyer in this
thread likes it more than i do. i used to like it but not as much as
before.
i just got a camel 3 and haven't had a chance to read (or even browse)
it. i hear very good things but i won't say anything until i look at it
in depth.
that set will give you an execellent perl library. if you read them all
cover to cover, you will increase your perl skills by a large
amount. they also make a good reference library.
skip any book that has any of these words in the title:
perl5 (it should be just perl)
complete (as if)
dummies (written by)
<dates/time> (except teach yourself perl in 24 hours. it is good)
of course, you HAVE read the perl FAQ end to end? you will be surprised
how much you will learn by doing that.
there are many more tutorial docs in 5.005/5.6 which are worth
reading. perlopentut is a good example that is not read by enough
people. you may use open but this shows you how to master it.
some of the web sites like perlarchive.com, perlmonks.com, perlmonth.com
have useful articles. an old hash slice tutorial of mine is now on
perlarchive.

This does have a little SQL stuff in it too, including command line MySQL
stuff.

THAT is good news indeed. I've been hesitant to purchase this one, as

that friedl can get some of the hardcore regex folks working with him to
help speed the process and get it to print sooner.

yeah I noted some of your comments on it earlier. Hopefully O'Reilly
will see the light and have this one upgraded to more modern concepts as
well. if not, there's always the library, as I can't see spending money
on it at this point, much as it was good for its time.

Yeah I have the 2nd edition myself.. let me know about this one, after
you've had a chance to pore through it.. I'm curious about the changes.
Particularly since this, and MacPerl Power and Ease by Vicki Brown and
Chris Nandor are the only two dead tree editions I have currently.
the faq files and c.l.p.m have easily been my greatest resource though.
Hands down. :)

I'm constantly mucking around in the docs that came with MacPerl.. tons
of great info.. also all the pod documentation in any of the modules
I've fiddled with have been fair to good (to great! like CGI.pm) sources
of info (though *some* of them REALLY leave me wanting for more USEFUL
examples. :)
HTML::Parse for one (see my earlier thread for the troubles I was having
with it.)

yeah.. hopefully I'll either see 5.004-based MacPerl get an upgrade
soon, or get my hands on a final release of MacOS X so I can play with
Perl natively for a change. :D

If you have perl installed, then it is already configured! You simply need
to take your perl script, place it in the "cgi-bin" directory (if memory
serves, Redhat puts it in /home/httpd/cgi-bin) and chmod it executable
(chmod u+x <filename>). Even a custom apache build configures the cgi-bin
"out-of-box"
Good Luck!

...only works if the owner of said script is that same as the owner of
the httpd child processes; in my case, 'nobody'. The symbolic setting
'a+x' or just the absolute '755' might be preferable.
But I digress. This isn't even perl-specific.

CGI.pm *will* take care of the details. if the server is IIS,
CGI.pm acts as if it's a nph script by setting the nph flag.

Use the following tag in your HTML file

Now, handle this input as any other type of form input field, i.e. copy the
value of this field, which is your file, to the approperiate location on
your web server. I guess you will be facing the same problem that I am
facing right now, I can not force the upload operation to stop if the file

Hello,
This is my first post.
I'm trying to do a script in perl for UNIX to get a web pages from a server

I have done a script to get the response from the webserver and catch the

Cookies to retrive the final HTML page from the Server.

use HTTP::Cookies;
require LWP::UserAgent;
$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new (

$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$request =
HTTP::Request->new('GET','http://XXX.XXX.XXX/Livelink/livelink.exe?func=ll.l
ogin&NextURL=%2FLivelink%2Flivelink%2Eexe&Username=guest&Password=guest');
$response = $ua->request($request);
$cookie_jar->add_cookie_header($request);
if ($response->is_success) {
$cookie_jar->extract_cookies($response);

I completely disagree.. some people (such as myself) simply don't know
WHERE to look in some cases.. and being pointed there first, so I can
formulate a BETTER question, is in my estimation AND experience, a good
thing.
it's how I learned to work properly with dereferencing complex hashes
and anonymous arrays/hashes .
Don't expect people to write your code for you when you haven't put
forth a minimal effort and it shows.. some people DO get paid to program
perl and don't offer their services for free.
People here WILL help you to make corrections and/or improvements to
your code, provided you can be clear and concise about what the problem
is. Evidence to the contrary (i.e. when it's obvious you need to find a
clue first) get you pointed to the right place. perldoc.
The terseness of the replies is self-explanatory -- all the necessary
explaining HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE IN THE DOCS in that case. (usually) ..
then you can come here if you need FURTHER
explanation/clarification/you've found an error in the docs/etc.
We're not here to read the docs to you either :)
I'm here to LEARN and if that means that I need to do some studying ON
MY OWN in some cases, so be it.

version, $cs-user-agent, $cs-cookie, $cs-referer);
print " $date $time $c-ip $s-ip $cs-bytes\n";
}
The comment at the top should explain what the purpose of the script
is. The error message I'm getting when I run it is:
Can't modify split in scalar assignment at hack_log line 12, near ");"
Execution of hack_log aborted due to compilation errors.
Any insight would be great.

The split should be on the right side of the "=" since it's not an
l-value.

By the way: $! contains the exact reason why the open() failed. Non-
existence of the file is only one of them...

Just read what perl told you :-) You have a problem in line 12 with
the assignment. Usually the thing you assign to is on the left side of
'=' and the value is on the right. So just try
($date, ... ) = split /""/;

First thank you for your answer.
I tried both with "use" and with "eval" but the first one only accepts a
module name as argument and mine is not a module. About "eval" I
discovered it after sending this e-mail and (of course) it works.

As far as I know, you can't do this in HTTP 1.1. One response per HTTP
request. Nothing to do with Perl.
You can issue 3xx redirect headers, but this doesn't allow you to display
a message like you wanted, as far as I know.
There are such things as multipart responses, which do more or less what
you want. But browsers tend not to implement it or do so inconsistently.
I have gotten that to work in Netscape, but not reliably in Mozilla
or IE. See the CGI.pm docs or the SlideShow module on CPAN.
If you feel you must have this feature, usually people script the browser
to start the download. e.g. <BODY onLoad="start_download()">, and
provide links for people with Javascript turned off.

Well, technically they're both wrong since your problem has nothing
to do with perl. Try one of the comp.infosystems.www groups or read
up on the HTTP protocol.
