There's no way for us to know unless you a) define what "going wrong"
means and b) show us the part of the code where the problem is.
Here are some other comments which don't really explain what is "going
wrong" since the part of the code you have shown is ok syntactically.
> sub show_form {
> open (formfile, "add.htm") || die print "Oh my god, where is the form file
> called add.htm";
You are not printing $! so that if the file can't be opened you won't
know why.
> while (<formfile>) {
Filehandles are usually upper-cased for clarity.
> if ($_ =~ s/<!--type-->//){
> &create_types;
> }
The $_ is not needed since that is the default line for the s/// to work
on anyway and you may want to look at /e to see how to execute your
function as part of the substitution.
Do &create_types and &create_music print something? You call them here,
but do not print their results.
> print $_;
Is that supposed to print to a file? If yes, then you need the
filehandle of that file in the print statement. If no and you are
intending the results to go to a browser, did you print a content-type
header first?

you don't want to substitute anything, use this instead:
$_ =~ /<!--type-->/
or just

If he doesn't want to substitute anything *and* he doesn't want to
remove the original comment.

I suggest that you attempt to write some kind of a script and then post
it. You are likely to get a better response if it doesn't look like you
are begging someone to write it for you.

Who knows. What languages are you familiar with programming in? You
should use them unless you have some pressing need to learn Perl. That
said I'm sure Perl is a perfectly adequate tool for the job you
describe.

Subject: Splitting variable length fixed records
Message-Id: <8u59tb$28h$1@hermes.nz.eds.com>
I have a file of fixed records of variable length (newline terminated), eg:
F1F2..F120
Where
F1 is 120 bytes
F2 up to F120 is 60 bytes.
The minimum number of fields is 2 and max is 120. What I want to do is to
split each record onto a newline.
I know the following regex doesn't work, but hopefully it shows what I'm
attempting:
s/^(.{120})(.{60})+/\1\n\2\n/;
It will work if I only have 2 fields , but is there anyway to make it work
if there are 3 or more fields? Is there a better way to approach this
problem? I looked at unpack, but I couldn't see a way of utilising it for
this situation.

Here is something I tried. No doubt there may be neater ways.
while (<INPUT>){
chomp;
my $temp = "$1\n" if s/(.{120})//;
while ($_) {
$temp .= "$1\n" if s/(.{60})//;
}
print $temp;
}
Note that this does not deal with the possibility that any field may not
be an exact multiple of 60 chars, and assumes that the first field will
always be 120, as you stated.

a. get another ISP
b. find out whether they support #4 (CGI), and if they do, go to a
manual or newsgroup about CGI and learn how that differs from SSI and
how to use it
The Perl part of all this is the same regardless of how it is delivered
so you need to straighten out your ISP and SSI/CGI issues and then come
back here if you have Perl questions when you've got those other things
settled.

I get this fatal error message, not documented in my distribution:
Can't find unicode character property definition via main->e or e.pl at
unicode/Is/e.pl line 0
I am using ActiveState perl 5.6.0 build 618 (built Sep 13) on Windows
95. I am posting here on the assumption that this is a Perl problem, not
a Windows or ActiveState problem.
I would like to know what this error means, and why it happened.
The code causing the error is this line:
if ($PERL !~ /perl/i || $WBProg =~ m/$PERL/ || $PERL eq 'perl') {
...
If the line is rewritten without the middle test, it is ok.
Ie, this is ok:
if ($PERL !~ /perl/i || $PERL eq 'perl') {
...
when I run it,
$PERL has the value "C:\perl\bin\perl.exe"
$WBProg has the value "demo.cgi"
For more context, here is the subroutine containing the above.
(It is from the open-source cgi database application "woda" at
http://itc.fgg.uni-lj.si/woda/ )
sub wbWhoami {
local ($package,$filename,$line) = caller;
local ($i,$c);
$filename =~ m|[^/]*$|;
$WBPath = $`; # in which dir is this script
chop ($WBPath); # remove the trailing /
$WBFile = $&; # what is the name of this

I don't know why it isn't in perldiag, but it's caused by backwhacks
which cause interpolation in your regular expression. The backwhacks
in front of the p, to be precise. See the perlre and perlunicode
documentation for an explanation of \p.
It \'s new in 5.6.0

This is OT for this newsgroup. Essentially your ISP does not allow SSI
scripts, so you will have to use another method. Why not just use the
webserver log? It will have the IP address and time in it.

Subject: why can the browser do it but my perl prog. cannot ?
Message-Id: <BWoN5.21580$xJ4.1097044@bgtnsc06-news.ops.worldnet.att.net>
I have a Perl program which uses LWP etc. to access web pages on a site.
The site requires login. I login through netscape browser manually and then
run my program with the Netscape cookies file. <hoping it as a way to pass
my state info to server, hoiping to tell it, "hey, remember me, I am logged
in already...">
My object is to recursively access pages on the site (imagine a document
tree, with a root url which lists several urls etc.). Now, I am able to
access the last leaf url <which is just a url as far as I am concerned>.
However, I am NOT able to "navigate" down the tree starting at a root url.
When I access the root url, <lets call it the "starting point" of interest>
from my Perl program, it sends back an html asking to login, etc.
However, my Netscape browser is able to access it <once the login process is
over>.
1) I am not able to understand why i would be able to access the leaf url
through the Perl program at all when the server does not consider me as
logged in.
2) Did my cookie approach not fully accomplish what I was thinking (avoiding
writing code to do the login process, since I dont know how to do it !)?
<there must be more to it than simply copying cookies ?>
Any suggestions on overcoming this sort of problem would be highly
appreciated.

One of the things that made me say "cool" when I was first learning Perl
was this aggragate assignment dudad. `Course that was in the days when the
coombs archive was cool too.

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.
