Ask yourself if you really think this is a Perl question.  I'll give you a
ksh answer.

#!/bin/ksh
print "function smallwindow() {"
print " window.open('http://www.somewhere.com/',width=350,height=400'); }"
print "<a href=\"JavaScript: smallwindow()\'">Open a small window</a>"

Thanks for pointing me to perldoc
i found that this works but my question is
does this load the file into the memory or what?

open (FILE,"test.zip");
binmode(FILE);
seek(FILE,5,1);
print STDOUT <FILE>;
close (FILE);

Why all these bruhaha?  With newer Perls

 const wchar_t* MDS_ErrorString(long hr);

is enough.  With older you just need to convert this to K&R.

You need to decide: how do you want to return the data?  T_PV is for
0-terminated char*.

Look how perlxstut does it (or any module building a library).  IIRC, if the
library is already present, all you need is LIB => '-lfoo'.

From: bdesany@my-deja.com
Subject: pid of children 4 times removed
Message-Id: <916bj0$9t7$1@nnrp1.deja.com>

I have read in Programming Perl that if you fork a process and do
POSIX::setsid on the child, you can use in the parent:

my $group = -$pid;
while (kill 0 => $group) {...;}

to keep track of whether that child process and its children (which are
all part of the same process group, of which the original child process
is the leader) are still "alive".

My child process execs a wrapper script for the PBS job scheduling
system, which in turn invokes PBS through backticks (a binary program
called qsub, probably written in C), which in turn invokes the actual
application I am interested in.

In short:
parent->forks_child-->execs_wrapper-->backticks_qsub-->invokes_myapp

Using the code I presented at the top, the conditional returns false as
soon as the wrapper is finished executing. If I change the wrapper to
invoke qsub through system() (instead of backticks - Programming Perl
doesn't mention if this process-tracking thing kicks in with backticks,
but it is supposed to with system() ) the same thing happens. I should
note that I have no idea how qsub works or how long it takes to
execute, so if it executes really fast, the conditional may actually
remain true through the execution of qsub.

Do I have the idea right, here? Based on these results can I assume
that when qsub kicks off execution of the final app that that app is in
a different process group from the "parent" script? Or could it be that
I have something wrong, and that I may still be able to accomplish my
goal?

Thanks for any assist!

OK... I agree with everything so far. I suggest that you add some
examples of how to do that search. There was a post of yours from what
you teach that was very nice here.

Even some "grep" commands and also 'perldoc -q' and 'perldoc -f'
examples. 


They are valuable to newbies (I can't live without these commands :-)

You put an example of such archive below. It could be here
also... Maybe with some more archives where one can get messages to
read.

I would comment on using 'clpm' in the beginning of the text. You
should choose either 'clpmisc' or 'clpm'. I like more the latter.

As these questions are frquently asked _wrongly_ here in clpm, it
would be nice to have pointers to the right groups to post about
them.

(SNIP)

Maybe speaking about running 'perl -dw script.pl'? It's helpful to see
some logical problems instead of only the lexical ones.

I'd add:

"This is also helpful because you'll have a small snippet of code
 which you can test, again, before sending your message. Maybe you
 find your answer there instead of having to wait for hours for an
 answer."

(I've seen you speaking about it in the "Provide enough information"

As you've asked for not receiving emailed messages about these rules,
wouldn't it be interesting to put your address as
<comp.lang.perl.misc>? :-) I don't  know if it's good practice to do
that... 


Nice job! I liked that. Maybe you could borrow some parts from RFC
1855 (netiquette) or cite it too.

This should work to turn a DOS text file into a Unixish file.
Just read it line-at-a-time using the while(<>) idiom, do the
above transformations, then print the modified data back out.

I think this has been a FAQ in this newsgroup lately.

Normally I'd recommend to send the file singly across an FTP
link, but if you are in a dual-boot situation, that would of
course require an extra machine (barring opening an FTP session
to your own machine's address to abuse FTP as an over-blown
local copy).

A nice one-liner, but it doesn't get rid of tabs, or am I missing
something?

How about this:

perl -i.bak -pe 'tr/\t\r/ /d' *.pl

I'm not much used to writing one-liners or doing one-liner golf,
so this may be longer than necessary.

Although the OP said his primary requirement was getting rid of
carriage returns, he also mentioned a secondary goal of getting
rid of tabs. I didn't see where the other one-liners were
removing tabs as well as carriage returns though. This assumes
that the tabs should be replaced by a single space, since tabs
are probably there for some reason.

I don't think so.  According to perldoc perlop regarding tr/// or y///:

	If the REPLACEMENTLIST is
	empty, the SEARCHLIST is replicated.  This latter
	is useful for counting characters in a class or
	for squashing character sequences in a class.

>I think this has been a FAQ in this newsgroup lately.

I hope not if perlop is true.

I think removing carriage returns in Windows might require using binmode,
in which case s/\015//g; should remove carriage returns (but not
linefeeds).  But I have not done Perl in Windows for years, so I cannot
test that.

Yeah, but at least you'll be able to write PERL that looks like Visual
Basic! =:-)

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.
