No. Or yes. Or... Anyway: it's *not the name N*. So, let's call it M: M
is the average string length. N is the number of array items.
For floating point comparison, M = 12 may be enough. Compare that to 4
to 8 bytes for the packed number. That's not an earth-shattering
difference.

I need to be able to generate a unique number for a series of digital gift
certificates.
I would like it to be quite hard for a scamster to make up his own valid
numbers and try his look - therefore I need the numbers I use to be hard
to replicate more valid numbers - if you know what I mean!
Is there an algorithm where I can spit out some fairly unique numbers?

What you want is numbers that obey a certain checksum rule, like a
credit card number. The uniqueness of the number is just a pleasent
sideeffect.
I suggest that you check out the various checksum algorithms for
creditcards. Of course, you should create your own variation, as the
checksum should be kept a secret.

An easy (albeit not completely reliable) solution is this:
my ($email) = $temp =~ /\<(.*?)\>/;
This won't work correctly if there happens to be a '>' somewhere in the
email address. I'm not sure if the spec allows them.

Update /etc/aliases to give path of program with one adress mail.
Example, on nobody:
nobody: "|/home/Administrateur/sys-com/clean.pl" then call newaliases
Then use MIME::Parser

use strict;
use MIME::Parser;

my $parser = new MIME::Parser;

Message-Id: <8q9v61$1ra$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Hi,
I'm trying to build up a socket for tcp communication. I use the
following lines:
:my $server = IO::Socket::INET->new(
:Proto => "tcp", PeerAddr => $host,
:PeerPort => $port);
:
:print" Value \$server->$server \n";
:if (defined($server)) {print "server=$server\n";}
Running this on Linux produced the following result:

doing the same code on Solaris 5.6 produced the following:

> server=IO::Socket::INET=GLOB(0x44ad80)
What can I do now ? If the return value is undefined (as on linux) I
can catch the error on constructing the socket. But under Solaris the
value is defined and produced no error. Any hints how to handle this
situation?

This is more a web server question than a Perl question. Have you looked
at the environment varaibles passed from your SSL-enabled web server to

Message-Id: <CL%x5.7$ii2.829@vic.nntp.telstra.net>
Hi there,
Is there a more succinct way to do this:
$a = '/home/scott/inc /usr/include /home/scott/program/include'
x join(' ', map({ $_ = '-I' . $_ } split(/\s+/, $a)))
0 '-I/home/scott/inc -I/usr/include -I/home/scott/program/include'
This *almost* does what I want:
x join(' -I', split(/\s+/, $a))
0 '/home/scott/inc -I/usr/include -I/home/scott/program/include'
but it doesn't prefix the 1st dir with '-I', which is why I
resorted to using 'map' above.
Anyone know a more efficient (less maninpulation &/or lines-of-code) way?
Actually, I think that should b "less characters-of-code"! :)

As long as you know what you're doing (RTFM and/or check the output) you
can pad it anyway you like, \n is most likely the best solution though;
simply because it's quite unlikely that something like that will use \n
in its output.

As a follow up this works a treat, basically take your string to encode
and loop through this putting each 8bytes into an array.
Then loop through the array, encrypt each element, and put the returned
into a string with a \n at the end, ie
$encrypted .= $blowfish->encrypt($split_text[$i])."\n";
To Decrypt simply read the string in line by line (assuming from file
here, but simply seperate on \n if from elsewhere) and chomp. Each
section being put into an array. Then again beform opposite of aove
decrypting each element and put back into a single string.
Works well, fast, and still pure perl.

Of course, you're right. My brain fart. The testing code was copied
from something else that did some reformatting of the matched pattern
before output and the use of s is quite redundant here.
Thanks for the tip about the end-anchors, though I'm not clear about
why they're necessary in this case. Is the idea to avoid matching,
say, 3344555, or 3334455?

Does system() return an error, i.e. a value *different* from zero? If
not, simply ignore $!. If so, yet the file is moved, that sounds like a

No need for shell scripts! Perl has the answer.
Check out the following CPAN modules:
http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Solaris
http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Solaris-Procfs
http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Filesys-DiskFree
The first is a useful interface to Solaris' KStats (cpu load etc). It
comes with some examples of replicating iostat/vmstat output using
KStat. The last is a simple interface to the 'df' command.
Used in conjunction with:
http://cricket.sourceforge.com
You can get a really powerful system monitoring setup quite easily with
nice graphs too!
Atenatively, write your data to a DB (using DBI modules) and use
GD::Graph ( or similar ) via CGI/mod_perl to draw whatever graphs you
like.
Hope this helps

Some modules can be "made" with just nmake, others need a compiler. The
key thing in that case is that the compiler must be the same one as used
to make your perl. Since ActiveState perl was compiled with Borland
C++, you must either use that to compile the modules that need
compiling, or else start over and rebuild perl with gcc.

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.
