it's untested - but I can almost guarantee that you would just associate
the .pl extension with
cmd.exe /k \path\to\perl.exe "%1" %*
(command.com for Win9x .. and you'd have to check the flag .. I think
it's /C or maybe /P as well)
instead of just the Perl program .. I've done it for .pm files (except
they're associated with perldoc -F because usually I want to read about
them as I'm browsing an @INC directory

Assuming you're altering the correct branch of the registry (I'm not in
Win98 at the moment, so I can't double check), make sure you have the
exact string. A string should be set to the extension you want to map,
eg ".pl" (including the [dot]; minus the quotes) with a value being the
app to map it to. Assuming default ActivePerl installation on the C:
drive:
".pl" --> "C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s"
".cgi" --> "C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s"
".plx" --> "C:\Perl\bin\perlis.dll"
Beyond this, I'd suggest the perl-win-web mailing list at
activestate.com:

Hi,
Thank you for responding me.
I tried your solution and instead of printing 3, which is the decimal
value of $c that contains 11000000, it prints 192.
I am missing something here?

Apparently, yes. 11000000(2) = 2**7 + 2**6 = 128 + 64 = 192. What's
wrong with that?
On the other hand, I have the feeling you are satisfied with the result
($a | $b) eq "11000000" for the wrong reason. The | operator, when
applied to strings (that is, scalars that have been assigned string
values and not been used in numeric context), will do a bit-wise or
on the bytes of the string. In particular, the second "1" in the
result string occurs because one operand is "0" = 110000(2) and the
other is "1" = 110001(2). The result of the or operation is indeed
110001(2) = "1", but only because ASCII is friendly enough to work
that way.

11000000 = 192
00000011 = 3

Okay, so I started to get pissed off with this after trying to make it
work for ages, and started fiddling with these values. Setting
expires to a longer value (I used '+2h') fixes the problem. Daft eh?
So it's been narrowed down to an IE problem, unless it's something
I've missed to do with how cookies work. Thanks for the effort
anyway.

Subject: date manipulation
Message-Id: <8mc0r5$r9e$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Hi,
As a bit of a newbie to perl programming, I was wondering if there
is a tried and tested way of calculating dates (day/month/year) in the
future from a given date. e.g. given todays date what will the date be
364 days from now. Seems simple on the face of it but then what about
leap years? and what if current month is a 31 day month? It occured to
me that this type of problem must occur quite often, often enough for
there to be a formula or generic code to solve it. Does anyone know of
such??
Ta very much,
Jimbo

Depends on your webserver. I can't guess what webserver you're using.
And this is no longer a perl question : ask in another newsgroup, such as
comp.infosystems.www.servers.{unix,ms-windows,mac,misc}.

I don't know of any "automatic" error logs, other than the standard
webserver error log. I usually write my own error handling, i.e.,
open (ERRLOG,">>$my_error_log") || blah, blah, blah
print ERRLOG $error_message;
close (ERRLOG);
I actually have a module I use write to a database, but that's for more
complex applications :-)

Message-Id: <YAei5.28889$9E6.173039@newsr1.maine.rr.com>
Hi, I'm new to Perl and I was wondering if anyone could either explain how
to do file IO or point me in the right direction (a tutorial or FAQ).
Specifically, I'm using the OPEN() function to add text inputted in a form
to a file on my server (this will be used in a "signup" form for a mailing
list). Right now the script is overwriting the previous contents of the file
instead of appending to it. Here is the code:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
require ("cgi-lib.pl");
&ReadParse;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
while( ($key, $value) = each%in) {
if ($key='opinion') {
open(FileOut, "> results.txt");
print FileOut "Opinion: $value\n";
print "Opinion = $value\n";
print "Thank you for your opinion!\n";
close(FileOut);
break;
}
}
My open statement is right in the middle after the IF. Right now its opening
the file for OUTPUT and I wanted APPEND mode. Also, am I using that break
correctly? I want to jump out of the WHILE after it finds the correct field.
Thanks!

The "last" operator allows you to skip the rest of the while as if your
test condition had returned false.

You can't do that with getopt/getopts, but you can do that with
Getopt::Long:
use Getopt::Long;
Getopt::Long::Configure("bundling"); # for getopts behavior
my @fs;
GetOptions ("f=s" => \@fs);
Every use of -f will cause another value to be pushed into the array.
I usually use this in conjunction with:
GetOptions ("f=s" => \@fs);
@fs = split(/,/,join(",",@fs));
This allows:
-f dir1 -f dir2 -f dir3,dir4
and so on.
You can have the other options put values in lex variables as well:
my ($opt_h, $r, $m, $v);
GetOptions ("f=s" => \@fs, "h" => $opt_h, "v" => $v, ...);
You get the idea.

Right back at ya! Obviously you didn't test my code from the last post
because that definitely recreates the problem. The first code you included,
which I did test, worked but had nothing to do with the problem at hand.
But, I *did* study your code from the next couple of posts which more
directly address the problem and that was perfect! Here's the thing I was
doing wrong:
# In Perl script:
# name of variable
$p = 'parameter';
# $$p is the same as $parameter (used elsewhere in the script)
$$p = '"s%Rick%Rick is $cool%g"';
# The substitution phrase:
$cool = 'one cool cat';
# String I'd like to do the substitution on (retrieved from the web):
$doc = 'Rick';
##### What I tried:
eval($doc =~ eval($parameter));
##### What actually works (after examining Jim's last code):
eval ('$doc =~ ' . eval($parameter));
# Result:
print "\n$doc\n";
This returns "Rick is one cool cat" (which is obviously true and correct :).
So thanks for the info, it did help do the trick.
Adios,
Rick.

Using system in the manner you are using it in will spawn
a shell. That is bad. Try instead:
system('/usr/local/bin/lynx', $shadowfound);
and read:

Aha! I _knew_ eval was involved; I just couldn't get the proper
syntax worked out.

I suppose you still have the problem of \" and \\" and \\\" etc. etc.
But, this should be good enough.
Thanks!

Message-Id: <null>
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.
