ok .. in $file is currently the input filehandle AND a string containing
the client string filename
> $fh = new IO::File;
> $fh->open($file) || die "Unable to create file handle object $!\n";
and you try to open it - using it in a string context .. BUT the
contents of $file might be something like
'C:\Files\somefile.ext'
or
'Macintosh Directory:Somefile'
because the content of that param() field is sent from the client's
machine .. you have to upload it first (see the CGI documentation for
how to do that) .. then you can open it and do your csv_process stuff

You need parens around localtime, else Perl thinks you are calling
localtime with an array ref as the argument.

just in case someone else is also messing around with the default output

Message-Id: <8rjeiq$u2b$1@merrimack.Dartmouth.EDU>
I want to sent email with html layout using perl. The html looks like
this:
++++++++++++++
<html>
<head>
<title>image</title>
</head>
<body>
<table border="2">
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www.domain.com/bigimage.html"><img
src="http://www.domain.com/image.jpg" border="0"></a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
++++++++++++++++
The result should be a html email. The recipient can than just click on
the small image and that will open the browser with bigimage.html. Now how
do I get this information in an email?

Good point. I did do a search in deja.com with "+email +html +layout" but
only got 15 hit, noe of useable. I should have just searched on just
"html".

Use the MIME::Lite module. It has excellent documentation and plenty of
HTML mail examples.

Subject: Re: Help processing files in a directory
Message-Id: <39DD3883.625A0C4A@motorola.com>
You can use:
@files = <*.mp3>;
or
@files = glob *.mp3;
to give you a list of all .mp3 files in the current directory. To look
in another directory, you can use:
@files = <$dir/*.mp3>;
The only down side is that using this kind of "globbing" uses the shell
(csh) or dosglob.exe to get the glob, so it might be a bit slower than
doing everything in perl. To do the same thing without calling an
external program see the File::KGlob module. Also, as someone else
mentioned the File::Find module may be what you want, since it has the
ability to search directories recursively.

You better make that
@files = glob '*.mp3';
if you want your program to compile.
And I generally don't advocate the use of globbing, but recommend
opendir and readdir instead [1]. On perl 5.6.0 and above that's less
strong, but I still feel it's better to use system calls.

there are so many problems with that script that if you are

Bah! Phooey and Bah! I know a great many musicians who aren't
terribly math oriented! SOme who do not understand the concept of
time (ie 4/4, 7/8...) but they are "creative" they "feel" the music,
can "see" it in colors. See also Jimi Hendrix, Les Paul, Eddie Van
Halen... (what, I play guitar, I know guitarists... PS I'm thinking
Tommy Lee doesn't know too much math and he's considered a great
drummer (not by me particularly))
However, the rest of your post was valid.

Go to http://www.deja.com/ and find the thread on clp.misc with the
title 'foreach two elements at a time'. That thread contains a
discussion about this subject (starting at the message with id
slrn8t5165.64u.mgjv@verbruggen.comdyn.com.au). I am still not
convinced by the arguments defending the existence of $a and $b, but
that's beside the issue :).

Maybe so, but so will the first one. None of these characters are
special in a Perl regex.
Perhaps the problem is that the global qualifier is needed so that not
just the first occurrence is affected. Or perhaps the ignore case
modifier is needed in case the "A" isn't capitalized (or the "m" or
"p" are).
Try:
s/&/&/ig;
Assuming this doesn't take care of it, there are other things that
could be wrong, so an actual piece of code that shows the problem
would be useful.

ok .. well - I glossed over this before .. but let's go back to that
error message .. is that literally the error message you receive ? ..
ie. the one beginning with "I am sorry but..."
because I get an error message more along the lines of
Can't locate foo.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /foo/ /bar/ .)...
so .. where is your fancy error message coming from ? .. you're not
running a standard .pl Perl program via a standard IIS4 scripts
directory

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.
