[ That "Last-modified:" date above refers to this document, not to the
Perl FAQ itself! The last _major_ update of the Perl FAQ was in Summer
of 1998; of course, ongoing updates are made as needed. ]
For most people, this URL should be all you need in order to find Perl's
Frequently Asked Questions (and answers).
http://www.cpan.org/doc/FAQs/
Please look over (but never overlook!) the FAQ and related docs before
posting anything to the comp.lang.perl.* family of newsgroups.
For an alternative way to get answers, check out the Perlfaq website.
http://www.perlfaq.com/
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Beginning with Perl version 5.004, the Perl distribution itself includes
the Perl FAQ. If everything is pro-Perl-y installed on your system, the
FAQ will be stored alongside the rest of Perl's documentation, and one
of these commands (or your local equivalents) should let you read the FAQ.
perldoc perlfaq
man perlfaq
If a recent version of Perl is not properly installed on your system,
you should ask your system administrator or local expert to help. If you
find that a recent Perl distribution is lacking the FAQ or other important
documentation, be sure to complain to that distribution's author.
If you have a web connection, the first and foremost source for all things
Perl, including the FAQ, is the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN).
CPAN also includes the Perl source code, pre-compiled binaries for many
platforms, and a large collection of freely usable modules, among its
560_986_526 bytes (give or take a little) of super-cool (give or take
a little) Perl resources.

You may wish or need to access CPAN via anonymous FTP. (Within CPAN,
you will find the FAQ in the /doc/FAQs/FAQ directory. If none of these
selected FTP sites is especially good for you, a full list of CPAN sites
is in the SITES file within CPAN.)

If you have no connection to the Internet at all (so sad!) you may wish
to purchase one of the commercial Perl distributions on CD-Rom or other

Subject: Blat guru please !?!
Message-Id: <U0Nr5.6309$cr3.190698@ozemail.com.au>
I am trying to port a unix form-mail script to my host's NT machine. They
use Blat V 1.8.4 if that helps.
The script works fine in writing the form's data to a temporary file (I can
see and read the file in my FTP box), but it fails to send anything. Here's
the excerpt I think is failing...
# If we're running under Windows, we actually send mail here...
if ($SERVER_OS eq "WIN") {
$WIN_TEMPFILE =~ s/\//\\/g;
$mailprog =~ s/\//\\/g;
$BLAT_ARGS = "$WIN_TEMPFILE -t $CONFIG{'recipient'}";
$BLAT_ARGS .= "-f $CONFIG{'email'} " if defined($CONFIG{'email'});
$BLAT_ARGS .= "-q";
system "$mailprog $BLAT_ARGS";
unlink $WIN_TEMPFILE;
}
I can't see anything wrong! Help?

The same way as you tell any other language. It is more an OS issue
than a language issue.
On DOS/Windows/Unix operating systems the curent directory can simply
be referred to as '.'. If portability to other OS is an issue you
need the curdir() function from File::Spec. On Unix/Windows this
simply returns '.' but on VMS it returns '[]'. I don't know what it
does on MacOS.
use File::Spec;
opendir(CURDIR,File::Spec->curdir()) or die "Cannot open current directory: $!";
> must I download the Cwd to do that?
No. You only need to use Cwd if you want to know the full path name
of the current directory. You don't need to download it as it is
included in the standard Perl5 distribution.

Yes, it's that function, and no, there's no need to download it, because
it's part of the standard distribution.
Just look at the package names that appear when viewing the page at this
URL:
<http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=cwd>
And the function name is cwd.

Subject: How long does flock take?
Message-Id: <8oo7fh$e79$1@qnsgh006.europe.nortel.com>
I'm using flock to lock my files which are pipe delimited flat text files.
When a user adds a record to this file I use flock() in my script to make
sure nobody else can touch it at the same time. However the first field of
my record in the database is an index given by time() - and naturally I
cannot have identical indexes. If it takes more than a second to lock the
file, erase the data, close it, open it again for writing (with another
lock) and print all the data to it, then i've got no problems.
However I have tried submitting forms on the web to the script with 2
different workstations, and the file was edited and did contain 2 identical
indexes. This I don't want.
Is there any way to make opening a file, writing to it etc take longer than
a second? Could I maybe use 'sleep'?

Thus I think you rather have a problem with your data model
than with the Perl language.

Uggh. I personally would never do that. Better try to solve
the "real" problem.

Hello,
I am developing a system which when complete will need to be deployed
on a separate machine from the one used for development/testing. In
order to make the deployment process more simple I would like to have a
single program which when ran extracts from itself all the files that
constitute the system and installs them in the right places after
performing various checks (e.g. move existing files with the same name
in a backup area).
Is there a Perl module that will let me do this? I looked at CPAN and
the closest thing I found is Archive::Tar, which will allow me to
deploy two files: a tar archive of the system, and the deployment
program which can untar it in a temporary location, and then install
the files in the right places.
Thanks.

so you need to start two processes on a NT (OS
assumed from subject line) box, right?
system 'start', 'notepad';
system 'start', 'notepad';
is a quick way to start two notepads...

This ought to be easy. I am trying to perform the simple act of

It seems to me the following should work, but it returns a
listing of the Perl script instead of modem information. It must
be something to do with opening com1 in read/write mode.
I have also tried this without the IO::File module, with
exactly the same result. Any insight would be greatly

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.
