Subject: How to pass Perl variables to Ksh
Message-Id: <91ns3v$s4b$1@nnrp1.deja.com>

Hi,

I run a Perl script in one unix box. I define a few variables there and
then use telnet module to telnet to another box and run a ksh script
there. This ksh script ftps certain files to some other boxes.

Here is my problem. Since I do not how to use the same variables both
in Perl and ksh , I used the variables as an argument to ksh script.
But, I think the argument list is too long and fails. I commented out
the ftp line to echo to see what is happening.

The Perl script:
*******************************************************

$START_DIR1="$HOME1/web/prod/netx";

print "\n";
$CLIENT = <STDIN>;
chomp ($CLIENT);
print "\n";
$LOGIN_DIR="$START_DIR/$CLIENT/unsecure-html";
$REMOTE_LOGIN_DIR="$START_DIR1/$CLIENT/secure-html";
$client=`(echo $CLIENT|tr A-Z a-z|tr -d '_')`;
print $client;

$MORE_REMOTE_LOGIN_DIR="$REMOTE_LOGIN_DIR/$client";
print "ftp files from $LOGIN_DIR to $REMOTE_LOGIN_DIR\n"; print "\n";
print "and ftp files from $MORE_LOGIN_DIR to $MORE_REMOTE_LOGIN_DIR\n";
print "\n";
print "Enter the name of the file";

It breaks up the line in in echo and wants to execute the last line as
ksh command.

Any advice is appreciated.

See if you can send mail by using "localhost" for the SMTP server. It
often works.

Use a "list slice" (see the "Slices" section in perldata.pod):

   $second_element = ( split(/,/, $a) )[1]
                             ^ ^
                             ^ ^

Patterns should _look like_ patterns, not like strings.

I have a Linux/Unix based e-mail form I can show u, but I don't know how
much different it's going to be on NT... After all, you know what Perl's
motto on Windows is, right? (It's a good thing TMTOWTDI, because most of
them won't work.)

So you need to import a "data reading" subroutine, along with
the data structure for it to populate.

It depends. That's why I left it nebulous. heh.

Whatever you are comfortable with. If the program is "short"
(50, or perhaps 100 lines), it matters hardly at all. For
more ambitious programs, _I_ start getting uncomfortable
at around 10 global variables.

Now that I know more about what you are doing, I would not
recommend importing the global BoH (Big ole Hash) at all.

Seems to me that the common thing to factor out is the populating
of the BoH. I would import only the read_and_load() subroutine
and pass it a ref to the hash to be filled up.


   package main;
   my %BoH;
   read_and_load( 'filename', \%BoH );

   package BoH_loader;
   sub read_and_load {
      my($fname, $href) = @_;

      # ...
      $href->{somekey}[$someindex] = 'some data';
      # ...
   }

I couldn't find my clippers so I had to use my pinking sheers to cut the
pinks from the garden.  My father came in from the fox hunt wearing his

Right.

Like Jonathan Stowe who gave you "Just what I was after"
when you asked this same "urgent" question *11 months* ago?

You are abusing the newsgroup. We will _help_ you do your work.
We don't _do_ your work for you. Jonathan admonished you for
this back then, but here you are again with the same 
already-answered question!  (the answer was "use unpack()")

If you are having trouble getting unpack() to work, then make
a post about having trouble getting unpack() to work, and we'll
help you get it working.

You can use join() to insert commas between the split-out fields.

If you need to allow commas _in_ fields, then use a module
that makes CSV files. Modules can be downloaded from CPAN.


>If you have nothing useful to
>contribute, 


Ah, but it _was_ useful. If you have an urgent problem that has
remained open for 11 months, it is a perfectly sensible business
decision to pay someone to make the problem go away.

I was offering a realistic way of solving your problem.

Another way would be to learn enough Perl to get it done yourself.
Learning that much Perl should certainly not take 11 months.

Yet another way would be to post the code that you have tried
and have us help you fix it.


>other that to advertise your own 'talents' 


I was not advertising my talents. I did not say hire me, I said
hire someone. I pretty much can't be hired anyway as I must turn 
down work on a fairly regular basis.


>then do us all a
>favour and take up knitting.


Do us a favor and stop abusing the newsgroup. Repeatedly asking
the same question when it has already been satisfactorily
answered is an abuse of this community.

I am trying to do the following, but without any luck - any ideas would be
apprecitated:

I have a variable ($text) with a lot of text in it, and I want to split it
into lines of at most 80 characters, but not splitting the individual words.

Any clues - it seems almost impossible to me (unless I split it into words
and then coutn the characters in each word and go from there!!)

I vaguely remember having seen this question before ... but here goes.

I'd extract the first 81 characters from the text:

$first=3Dsubstr($text, 0, 81);

then take whatever is in there with the blank at the end:

($prefix =3D $first) =3D~ s/(.*)\s\S*/$1/;

then remove whatever you have here:

$len =3D =3D length($prefix);
substr($text, 0, $len+1, "");

Maybe not the most elegant way of doing this, but one way of doing.

Of course, you may need to handle
verlongwordsthatspanmorethan80characters.

Use a module that wraps text, such as Text::Wrap.

What is a character in your opinion?  Letters and numbers are usually
counted among them.  Probably you meant to say "special characters".

As usual, there is more than one way to do it.  While the most
straightforward solution would probably use a regex, the tr///
operator can be used as well, and is often faster.  To check
a string $str you'd do:

   if ( $str =~ tr/0-9A-Za-z//c ) {
     print "'$str' has special characters\n"
   } else {
     print "'$str' is clean\n";
   }

To understand how this works, you will have to look up tr/// in
perlop and see what it does in scalar context, as well as the
function of tr's /c modifier.

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.

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.
