Perl FAQ itself! The last _major_ update of the Perl FAQ was in Summer
of 1998; of course, ongoing updates are made as needed. ]
For most people, this URL should be all you need in order to find Perl's
Frequently Asked Questions (and answers).
http://www.cpan.org/doc/FAQs/
Please look over (but never overlook!) the FAQ and related docs before

Beginning with Perl version 5.004, the Perl distribution itself includes
the Perl FAQ. If everything is pro-Perl-y installed on your system, the
FAQ will be stored alongside the rest of Perl's documentation, and one
of these commands (or your local equivalents) should let you read the FAQ.
perldoc perlfaq
man perlfaq
If a recent version of Perl is not properly installed on your system,
you should ask your system administrator or local expert to help. If you
find that a recent Perl distribution is lacking the FAQ or other important
documentation, be sure to complain to that distribution's author.
If you have a web connection, the first and foremost source for all things
Perl, including the FAQ, is the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN).
CPAN also includes the Perl source code, pre-compiled binaries for many
platforms, and a large collection of freely usable modules, among its
560_986_526 bytes (give or take a little) of super-cool (give or take
a little) Perl resources.

Subject: A question on pattern matching.
Message-Id: <92562b$27d$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Hi,
I have the following problem when I try to match a string.
example:
$str1 = 'ABC$XYZ';
$str2 = 'C$X'
Now I like to detect (and may be make a substitution) the above
condition that $str1 contains $str2, like say:
if ($str1 =~ /$str2/) {....
The problem is that whenever there are characters like '$' perl treats
it as a character with special meaning (end of line).
Now, is there a modifier or something that I can do to let perl know
that I want to turn-off that special meaning for those characters like
$. I consulted several books (programming perl, cookbook etc.) but
without any success.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The backslash ( \ ) operator will "escape" any special meaning.

Subject: creating a "TCP WAIT" process under inetd
Message-Id: <n2n64tg3b3jqj43j98gp3qr4luuvfbsjvm@4ax.com>
I would like to run a Perl script under INETD using "TCP WAIT" -- that
is:
tst stream tcp wait root /var/admin/tst tst
I don't want to spawn a separate process for each connection. For now
I'll handle all connections in the main process; ultimately, I'll be
pre-forking a pool of handlers.
It's easy to do this if I'm managing the TCP/IP connections at the
socket level, but I'm not sure how to do it through inetd, when I'm
just being handed STDIO.
In desparation, I've tried many things such as:
while (1) {
my $sel = IO::Select->new();
$sel->add(\*STDIN);
$sel->can_read;
while (<STDIN>) {
# process a connection
}
}
The problem is that the daemon falls into an infinite loop that looks
like
while (1) {
can_read = true
while (<STDIN>) { ...} # falls through doing nothing
}
Each client will send multiple lines that need to be treated as a
single unit; That's why I'm not just checking can_read() inside the
inner loop; I have no way to tell that whether a line comes from the
previous connection or a new one.
I've been up many hours; if you find this message cryptic or
incomplete, I apologize. And as always, thanks in advance for any
light you might bring to bear on this problem.

You probably do not have Apache configured properly.
In the apache 'conf' directory you will find http.conf.
You willl need to put two lines in to get things working.
First you need to get Apache to use perl to handle cgi scripts so where your
add handler lines are add another add handler line.
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
then you need to add a directory permission to allow cgi execution in the
directory.
So you need some lines like
<Directory "c:/htdocs/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options All
</Directory>
the path is of course meant to be the path to your scripts.
Hope that helps.

^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^
A simple Perl application would be to get your program
working from the _command line_ first.
Using Perl in a CGI environment is more difficult. Get the easy
part working first.
Can you run Perl programs from the command line?
If so, then you do not have a Perl problem!

^^^^
It is "Perl" or "perl", not "PERL".

Installation of web servers does not have anything to do with
Perl, and is off-topic in a Perl newsgroup.
There are other newsgroups for discussing web stuff:
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi
comp.infosystems.www.servers.mac
comp.infosystems.www.servers.misc
comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows
comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix

After you install it, the next step would be to configure it
to run CGI programs.
>I don't know what's the problem and where is it happen.
You haven't gotten the server configured correctly yet.
>My perl program:
>print "Content-type: text/html\n";
Your program does not output HTML. You should not lie to the
browser like that. If you say you are going to give it HTML,
then you should give it HTML. If you are going to give it
plain text, then you should say that you are going to give
it plain text.
>open(COUNTER, $datafile);
You should always, yes *always*, check the return value from open():
open(COUNTER, $datafile) || die "could not open '$datafile' $!";
[ snip code that runs in a multitasking environment, but does not
do any file locking.
]
After you get your server-config issues fixed, you have yet
more problems to deal with.
You should probably look at the Perl FAQ, part 5:
"I still don't get locking.
I just want to increment the number in the file.
How can I do this?"
>Note: this perl program work when I double click on it, it will print out
>the number
Ah hah! So you do have it running outside of a CGI environment.
That makes it off-topic here. Ask in a newsgroup that cares
about the CGI environment.

Yes it does. There is something that you are not telling us.
Post a _complete_ program that we can run that shows what you
are doing.

No, because the code you have shown us does not make any output at all!
You have left something out (leaving us wondering what _else_ you
have left out, maybe your problem is in the left-out part?).
When you run _Abigail's_ program, do you get -1 output?
If so, then you have a broken perl. Reinstall perl (a most drastic
step, better try everything else first).

Yes, but only by the clueless (unless cross posted).
Are those the folks you want to answer your question?
Yet another reason for not putting comp.lang.perl in your
Newsgroups header is that that is a convenient red flag
for scoring/killing.

I suspected I was missing something obvious. Thanks.
Of course, if one needs external sorting in Perl, there are modules;
e.g., File::Sort <http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/File-Sort>.

Whew! You're going to have a *tough* row to hoe if your only way to mess
with Perl is to upload a CGI program and then try it. It is no wonder that
ISPs/webmasters/Sysops with a clue don't allow customer-supplied CGI
programs.
Two points:
1) your programs will be essentially impossible to debug.
Since you don't have telnet access to your server [else you'd have had
access to the FAQs/manpages], the ONLY data you'll get back, by and large,
is a lot of HTTP errors and you'll have to guess what went wrong.
2) Unless your ISP/sysop has VERY carefully configured the
system [which is not all that likely, but possible], you can seriously
trash/hurt the entire system with some broken/bogus Perl code.
Altogether, if you don't have local/direct access to Perl, I think you
should give-it-up [and indeed, better confirm that your ISP/sysop really
will permit you to upload 'blink' CGI programs]. Even beyond dumb
questions like the one you asked [not dumb because it is a bad question,
only dumb because its answer is so easily/readily found from available
resources, your inability/unwillingness to seek them out notwithstanding],
there are a thousand things you're going to need to know [e.g., you're
*REALLY* going to want "man CGI" right by your side as you start on this
project, not to mention the several other things mentioned [e.g., the
"ReadBackward" module -- is that installed on your server? How would you
find out??]
If you're serious about this and you really want it to work, you really
need to download the Win98 Perl distribution from Activestate, set up MS's
"personal web server" [which I'm pretty sure supports CGI, but I don't
remember] and play on your own system both until you get a feel for what's
going on and get your CGI stuff to work... THEN try FTP'ing it up the
server --- and it still probably won't work the first time,but it'll be
closer [permissions, locations of things, environment, etc all are usually
different on the 'server' than in your test setup and can mess up a
program]. You'll also need a fair bit of support from your ISP/sysop:
location of things, Perl modules available, ability to get new modules
loaded, etc, etc. And have you double-checked that your ISP/sysop really
*will* allow you to FTP up homegrown Perl CGI programs at all??

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.
