Let's see some code.
But, first check that the plug is in. Your file is in the right dir, you
*DID* use error handling (die "bad error: $!") where it applicable, you did
not transfer your script using FTP binary mode, the script is executable...

explanation as to why it has been posted in the wrong newsgroup!!!
You see i dont know all this stuff, like as it says in the subject, i am a

I'm having problem with passing two hases to a function. I'm not sure if
I'm going about it correctly. The line in question is:

Which is line 25 of http://www.soundhouse.co.uk/cgi-bin/2.cgi which can

recommended reading
perldoc perlsub (DESCRIPTION para. 2)
and
perldoc perlref
You need to use something like
print_edit_form("ammend",\%mod_users,\%old_users);
(note the \'s)
and then inside the function the hashes must use the $hash-> notation
(sometimes you might have to add braces as well as adding a -> )

You need to take a look at perlsub, which will probably result in you
then taking a look at perlref. When you pass a hash as an argument to a
subroutine, it gets "flattened" into a list of key/value pairs which are
simply added to the subroutine's argument list. If you pass more than
one hash, there's no way for the subroutine to tell where the first
hash's list of pairs ends and the second one's begins. The normal way
around this is to pass references to hashes instead.

I'm not familiar with print_edit_form. Is it part of CGI.pm or custom code?
Unless it's prototyped something like ($\%;\%) the two hashes will be elided
into one in the sub. Could you be misunderstanding the code? Look again and post
code snippets if you're still confused. The code I saw had only one hash in the
call.
If print_edit_form is modifiable and you really need it to receive two separate
hashes, arrange for it to receive refs to hashes either by passing them as
'\%hash' or through a prototype.

I cannot recreate your problem here:
$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.6.0 built for i686-linux
-- snip --
$ cat testit
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use FileHandle;
close(STDOUT);
my $fh = new FileHandle("file.txt", "r") or die "cannot open file: $!";
close(STDIN);
$fh->getline;
print STDERR fileno($fh),"\n";
# End of testit
$ ./testit
1
$
I am closing STDOUT and STDIN in a manner that makes fileno($fh) == 1,
and am not getting any warnings. Are you sure you are doing only what
you posted and nothing else?

This still doesn't make a lot of sense (to me at least). From what I can
gather you have a program that gets started by cron. This program does
not have the environment you want. Am I right so far?
You don't mention what the Perl program does and where/when it gets
executed - my guess is that you want to run a Perl program (from cron as
well?) that somehow passes variables to the other program (that gets
executed by cron).
Assuming that your only problem is how to get the program that gets
started by cron to inherit the right environment you can do the
following:
1. In your crontab, instead of kicking off the program itself, start a
wrapper script, e.g. $HOME/bin/wrapper
Your crontab will therefore look like:
X X X X X $HOME/bin/wrapper
2. In your wrapper script set the environment variables you want, and
then start the program. The script $HOME/bin/wrapper will therefore look
like:
#!/bin/sh
. $HOME/.profile
<full path of program you run now from cron>
(assuming that you want your program to have the same environment that
you have when you log on, and that .profile is your login script - it
may a different name like .bash_profile)
OR
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin...
export PATH
<other variable>=value
export <other variable>
etc.
<full path of program you run now from cron>
OR (to make it vaguely Perl related)
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$ENV{"PATH"}="/bin:/usr/bin:...";
$ENV{"<other variable>"}="<value of other variable>";
etc.
system("full path of program you run from cron");

Subject: Perl vs. Java or C++
Message-Id: <8pm3gv$clj$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
I'm at an important decision in my career. I need to decide where to
focus my learning as far as languages go. I took 2 years of C++ in
college, and have been doing a little studying in Java on my own time.
Recently, a project came up that screamed of Perl so I learned enough
Perl to do this project (about 75% complete with it anyway).
My question is, should I continue to learn Perl? Is the demand for Perl
programmers high? Higher than Java or C++? What types of projects could
a good Perl program look forward to working on, vs. those for Java or
C++ programmers?
If you have an opinion on this and wouldn't mind sharing, I'd love to
read what everyone thinks.

@ARGV[0] is a list of one element that happens to be the first element
of @ARGV. It is NOT the first element of @ARGV. Check out perlfaq4:
What is the difference between $array[1] and @array[1]?
open METRIC, $ARGV[0] or die $!;

What is this supposed to do? == is a comparison operator, not an
assignment operator. And, chop() returns the last character chopped,
which most probably is a newline.
Just change this to:
chomp $nam;
or better still, why don't you chomp() the line just after you read it,
and before the split()?
> if ($nam eq @ARGV[1]) {
Again, @ARGV[1] is a list of one element. It is not a scalar. Use
$ARGV[1] instead.

Hello,
I'm trying to get Unix job information using backticks, but it's not

Basically in my code I do:
my $jobstuff = `jobs -l`;
print "$jobstuff\n";
For some reason $jobstuff is always empty, even when there are
background jobs running. If I enter 'jobs -l' at the command line under
this same terminal, it returns results.
If I put another command in the backticks like ls or who I get the
expected results. Any idea why jobs isn't working for me?

You're getting an empty return because there are no jobs
running in the shell used to execute the sub-process:
"jobs" is running in a different (child) process of the
perl program. What you see when you type "jobs" at the
prompt is a list of background processes for that login
shell process.
"The same terminal" is spurious here, it's which process
and which shell that counts.

: how do i delete a particular key from a hash
<rant> I'm trying to understand the mental paralysis that causes people
(I'm not singling you out, this happens several times a day) to post
questions like this without doing even a minimal amount of research. Did
it even occur to you to guess at what a function to delete a key from a
hash might be called and then check the documentation to see if there is
such a function and if so, whether it does what you want? If you had done
that, you'd have found the answer to your question *right away*.
In the last two days alone, we've had people asking if there's a function
to find the length of a string, and if there's a function to rename a
file. In both cases, the obvious guess as to what the function would be
called is the correct one. It would be one thing if someone wanted to
know the name of a function to delete a *file*; it wouldn't be
immediately obvious to someone not versed in Unix programming that the
function is named "unlink." But "what's the name of the function to
delete a hash key?," "what's the name of the function to find the length
of a string?," and "what's the name of the function to rename a file?"
all fall into the same general pattern as "who's buried in Grant's
tomb?": the obvious answer is the correct one.
These are *not* the kinds of questions where you need a certain level of
Perl knowledge just to be able to find out where the answer is; it's
understandable that a beginner could get stuck on the latter type of
question, and while a *very few* people here will respond to such a
question with an ugly display of nerdismo, the vast majority of regulars
here will happily point someone in the right direction. But something
else has to be going on when someone is either unwilling or unable to even
*try* looking up the answer in the most obvious places. What is it? Were
you aware that any Perl installation comes with a listing of functions?
If so, have you ever, just out of curiosity, looked at it (I'm not talking
about reading the whole thing, just about seeing how it's organized)? If
so, why didn't it occur to you that it would be a good place to look if
you wanted to know the name of a function? I'd really like to know what's
going on here; once again, you are by no means the only person who has
come here with "self-answering questions," and it really is a puzzle as to
why this happens so frequently. </rant>

Unfortunately, it doesn't. The -d doesn't really make any difference.

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.
