Hello,
does anyone know whether ActivePerl's AuthenticateUser method works
correctly or not?
If so, could you give me an example of how to use it?
I have tried the following
AuthenticateUser( "hisdomain", "administrator", "hispassword" )
but this does not return anything.
Many thanks.

I don't really care, as long as it's associative and commutative like
addition is supposed to be. Bonus points if you can reverse it with a
corresponding subtraction operation.
That might seem like nitpicking, but IMHO it's just plain silly that
"$" + 2 + 3 equals "$23" in Java. Almost as silly as -5%3 being -2.

True, but with all due respect to Larry and Uri, I have yet to be so
paranoid about efficiency that I pull out guns this big. :) I suppose I
should take the time to really learn the GRT just for the sake of

Hello,
I have a bunch of files in a directory, and I am always having to get

Anyway, is there a way from the command prompt, that I could do a list in a

Subject: Cookie issue with CGI.pm?
Message-Id: <8vbeoe$cvp$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
I must be missing something althogether too obvious.
I have a CGI script which uses cookies to save a sessionid for a logged-
in user. The cookies are baked and served in the typical fashion, ie:
my $sessionid = getsessionid();
my $cookie = cookie( -name=>'sessionid', -value=>$sessionid,
-domain=>'mydomain.com', -expires=>'+2y' );
print "Set-cookie: $cookie\n";
One of the goals I'm trying to accomplish here is to have the user
logged in on 'mydomain.com' and all subdomains (for
instance, 'members.mydomain.com', 'help.mydomain.com', etc.) If that
can't be done, that's okay, I'll just pick one and go with it.
Now the problem is that this doesn't appear to work in Netscape. It
works just fine in IE - the cookies get set and get sent to all
subdomains of mydomain.com. But in Netscape the cookies get set and
don't get sent to any domain (that I can tell, at least). Even going
to 'mydomain.com' doesn't show the cookies as being sent.
Am I doing something wrong? I'm currently using cgi-lib.pl for cookies
but the interface isn't as elegant as CGI.pm's is.
Any help anyone can give would be great. Thanks!

Netscape requires two dots in the domain name.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, you're my saviour, etc etc.
That works just fine and dandy. There's one small problem that I can just
deal with if I have to: if you go to http://mydomain.com/ in Netscape it
shows up as not-logged in (www.mydomain.com works fine so, like I said, I
can deal with this, but it's the last remaining bug).
Thanks again.

I am running this on Windows 98. I have Borland Builder C++ 4 and 5,
Microsoft Visual C++ 1.52 and 6.0. Should I be using the make program from
these? Doesn't seem right. If you look at the makefile that is produced it
is Perl. How do you use a C make on Perl?
BTW, if you are wondering, yes I did check in all of the directories under the
root Perl directory for any file with make in it. I know that more than
likely at least one of the C make programs would be called from the path if
you just typed it in any directory.

I believe VC++ comes with 'nmake' - check one of the bin directories
under the VC++ tree. If not, you can get a version of nmake from
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe. If you're using
Win32 ActivePerl, which it sounds like you are, it's easiest to
use nmake (which is the default) - just make sure the path to
nmake is included in your PATH.

It's not so much the ability to use the mouse, but the ability to have
charts, and to see variables in realtime etc.
Or so I am given to understand.
I have been tasked to find this thing, not to justify it (I leave that to
people far more senior then me.)

Yes, I know... this is something I've pointed out. Some other departments
use Linux etc., but we get all the commercial CAD etc. etc., and it is
easier to say "this does what you want" if it's not open source, since for
some reason the big corporation thing of it seems to speak to management
and say "I'm better for the job" (as we all know, not necessarily true).

If it leaves the <!--#exec cgi="..."--> in the file, then the server isn't
configured to parse SSI in the HTML files.
Don't forget that SSIs must include a content-type (at least on Apache - I'm
not sure how other servers handle SSIs, if they do). So you'll have to put
a line like this into your script:
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
Hope this helps,

Does the perl script work from the command line?
If yes then it is not a perl problem but a web server configuration problem.
<Off-topic>
You are trying to use a server side include (SSI). If you are using something
like Apache as your web server (which I suspect you are) you will need to
ensure that the web server allows ExecIncludes for the directory where your
HTML file is located.

This may be "exactly" the features of some MS-DOS successors, namely
Win9x and WinME but not of all Win32-OS as I'm running Perl scripts

I've been doing that for a while -- about thirty years in fact, in

I think some guy by the name of Brooks mentions it in _The Mythical Man

Programming_. But us

Balderdash. I started with Perl (OK, I'm no programmer, but I
manage to get by when the need presents itself.) and I am doing
OK. Sure, some background in programming would have helped to
understand... uh.. programming, but there is nothing that unusual

(I haven't seen uri's post yet, and have never met either of you, but)
Are you sure that beer is increasing your attractiveness, or just
decreasing his math skills? The latter would probably be more plausible.

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.
