Hey all,
I have just started using Perl to make my own modules. I was wondering if
anyone could offer tips/links on good ways to flow error conditions back
to the user - rather than just die-ing.
Is there a nice way of emulating Java's try catch mechanism? Subroutines
die, but are called from an eval block?
Thanks,
Matt

Have a look at the eval documentation 'perldoc -f eval'
this gives an idea as to how the eval statement can be used like Java's
try/catch.

Subroutines
> die, but are called from an eval block?
Yes. It works fine. E.g.:
my $data;
eval {
open IN, $file or die "couldn't open because $!";
local $/;
die "it's empty!" unless $data = <IN>;
};
if($@) {
warn "Error processing $file: $@";
# Do some workaround
}

Well, if you use $::soAndSo for the variable name, strict won't
complain. The variables themselves will be in package main:: . I think
it's a good way for them to stand out in the source (you can search for
them).

You're trying to put quotes between quotes. 3 solutions:
* Backslash the (literal) quotes:
print "a quote: \"\n";
* use qq with some otherwise unused delimiter (or pair):
print qq[a quote: "\n];
* use a here doc. For literal (multiline) HTML built into a script,
this is what I prefer, but the "downside" is that all of your strings
will now end in a newline:
print <<"#END#";
<a href="http://www.atgl.spear.navy.mil/feedback/trnofmod.htm">
View your submission here</a><br>
#END#
n.b. your end string, in this case "#END#", should be the *only* thing
on that line, so no blanks either on the left or on the right of it. It
should be identical to the thing you put between the quotes right after
the "<<". Oh, and do make sure that at least one more text line follows
in your script (due to a mysterious bug in Win32 perl, but a good idea
on any platform).

If you assume from the question that @a is exactly 100 elements in size
(and that $[ = 0 and $#a = 99) then all three are correct anyway.
If you can't assume any of those pre-conditions, then only (b) is correct.

Oink? What is wrong with:
@a = map { -1 } 1 .. 100;
?
That doesn't care:
* about $[
* whether @a was empty

Nothing, in fact that's the way I would do it, but that wasn't one
of the options given. Perhaps, I've picked up the wrong end of this
thread - I only noticed your last posting.

I'll never understand why some people feel compelled to respond with
vulgarities,
such as "Why don't you RTFFAQ?" (what does the first "F" stand for??). If you
must respond with vulgarities, why not either (a) not respond at all, or (b)
respond
directly to the OP, and NOT the 'group' at large? After all, if someone hasn't
already
"RTFFAQ", or done a search for the answer, what makes you think that responding
that way will encourage them to do so next time?

Keep trying. And never say "never".
>(what does the first "F" stand for??).
It doesn't stand for anything. I stutter.
>If you
>must respond with vulgarities, why not either (a) not respond at all, or (b)
>respond directly to the OP, and NOT the 'group' at large?
Because if someone else with a similar question learns through such a reply
that the answer to the query is in the FFAQ (there goes that ddamn stutter
again) he/she won't bother the group with the same question.
>After all, if someone hasn't already "RTFFAQ", or done a search for

If that someone learns that he/she won't get a different reply to a FAQ
he/she won't bother the group again with stupid questions (hopefully).
Isn't all of this painfully obvious? You don't need to be a genius to
figure all of this out for yourself, you know.
Now let's get back to Perl, hmmm?

Subject: phonemes to syllable count routines?
Message-Id: <TSdd6.11365$1%2.522979@sjc-read.news.verio.net>
Given a string of phonemes (e.g., from the CMUDICT in the ARPABET),
are there any routines published to count the number of syllables?
It doesn't matter if the result is integer only or not, as long as
it is reliable and reasonably accurate.
I thought I saw this in Perl sometime in the last few years but I
can not remember where. I tried Deja and Google. Does Festival
or any other voice synth have a routine such as this for prosody?
This is needed for the statistics from this ongoing data collection:
http://www.bovik.org/reps-char.cgi
The results will be made available to all. Thanks in advance!

That should be

I see.

A timer should suffice, yes.

Of course not, it was just my way to ask you 'I don't need an unloop,
right?'.

Ok, thank you.

Message-Id: <null>
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.
