Message-Id: <9572mh$hn4$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
I am trying to generate an HTML Select list using cgi.pm from a csv
file. I have all the info in a 2 dimensional array, but now I need to
sort the data from the column I am using to create the OPTION values,
because many of the entries appear multiple times in the column. What is
the simplest method or sorting/mapping the column of data, so that each
entry only appears once, when I generate the OPTION values.

You have posted a job posting or a resume in a technical group.
Longstanding Usenet tradition dictates that such postings go into
groups with names that contain "jobs", like "misc.jobs.offered", not
technical discussion groups like the ones to which you posted.
Had you read and understood the Usenet user manual posted frequently
to "news.announce.newusers", you might have already known this. :) (If
n.a.n is quieter than it should be, the relevent FAQs are available at
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/by-newsgroup/news/news.announce.newusers.html)
Please do not explain your posting by saying "but I saw other job
postings here". Just because one person jumps off a bridge, doesn't
mean everyone does. Those postings are also in error, and I've
probably already notified them as well.
If you have questions about this policy, take it up with the news
administrators in the newsgroup news.admin.misc.
There is a Perl Jobs Announce list that may be more helpful to you. See
<http://www.pm.org/mailing_lists.shtml> for details.

Subject: pushing hash onto an array
Message-Id: <HvGd6.78382$Wq1.33682216@nnrp5-w.sbc.net>
Hi. I get the following error
"Can't use string ("title") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at
txt2xml.pl..."
as related to the following code snippets...
%long_titles = ( line_num => $line_cnt,
doc_id => $doc_id,
begin_num => $control_ids{begin_num},
end_num => $control_ids{end_num},
title => $csv_record{title},
);
push @AoH, %long_titles;
...and later...
# Print out the long titles along with their identifying information
if ($long_titles) {
for my $href ( @AoH ) {
print "{ ";
for my $datum ( keys %$href ) { # error occurs here!!!
print "$datum=$href->{$datum}\n";
}
print "}\n";
}
}
Some of you will recognize that this second snippet comes out of the camel
book for accessing/printing arrays of hashes.
I guess I don't understand this error... primarily because it craps out on
string "title" and not on the other hash keys -- e.g. line_num, doc_id, etc.
Would someone please shed some light?

When you are making a multi-dimensional structure such as an
array-of-hashes above, you need to remember that arrays and hashes can
only hold scalars. A hash (such as %long_titles above) is not a scalar
so when you do the push operation Perl flattens the hash out into a
list. What you probably want to do is push a reference to the hash
instead (which is a scalar). You do that like this:
push @AoH, \%long_titles;
For an explanation of the error message you get read the perldiag and
perlref manual pages.

The only thing I can see is that "title" is both a string key into the
%csv_record hash, and a key to the %long_titles hash. Try naming it
something else so the two don't collide - just a guess.

right, and right. thanks. i had actually tried to push the ref to the

What OS are you using? Most unix variants already have definitions for
these places. In Solaris...
US/Central
US/Eastern
US/East-Indiana
US/Arizona
...
Set your ENV{TZ} to the right thing and use localtime conversions.

Thanks for your response. I like it. A lot. Another alternative I just
thought of is to pass the error array as an argument.
In the derived classes:
sub save {
my $self = shift;
my @error = @_;
# Perform some validation
push @errors, 'There was an error in the derived class';
return $self->SUPER::save(@errors);
}
In the base class:
my @errors;
sub save {
my $self = shift;
my @errors = @_;
return if @errors;
# Save the object
return 1;
}
However, I do prefer your suggestion. It seems a good idea to separate
the validate from the save function. It may come useful at other times.
Thanks again,
Thomas

Subject: SOAP-Lite problem - How do I send a hash from a client to a server?
Message-Id: <hREd6.114$u7.173@nntpserver.swip.net>
Hi,
I am writing two applications in ActiveState Perl that need to communicate
with each other. Basically, all I need to do is to transfer the contents of
a hash variable from one application to another.
My client has requested that I use SOAP for all data transport between the
two programs. Herein lies the problem. I can't make heads or tails of the
SOAP-Lite documentation.
I have two questions:
1. Given a hash %MyData and a URL pointing to the receiving script,
say "http://myserver/SOAPserver.cgi", what would the SOAP call
look like?
2. What would the code to receive the data and reconstruct %MyData
look like on the server end?
I'd be very grateful for a bit of help. I do understand the underlying SOAP
XML representation of the data, and I have at least a basic grasp of socket
communications. It is the SOAP-Lite API itself that has me flummoxed.

Message-Id: <Pine.GSO.4.31.0101301613380.3288-100000@mum.cs.sc.edu>
Hello all,
I am doing some conditional text processing. If a given variable is
defined and contains a filename, the file is opened and processed. For
example,
use strict;
$hitlist_name = "hitlist.txt"
...
if (defined $hitlist_name)
{
open .. or die
blah blah blah
}
Now if I don't want to process that file, I comment out the definition
of $hitlist_name
If I remove the strict pragma, everything works as intended. If I
leave it in, it doesn't compile because it requires an explicit
definition for $hitlist_name in the test statement.
Is it possible to leave strict in and yet do the above test?

Subject: to shift, or not to shift
Message-Id: <3A773EDD.494A84E9@rac.ray.com>
In Christiansen & Torkington's Perl Cookbook, (in the parse_csv()
segment on page 31), they show two ways to get a scalar into a
subroutine. In the first one, they use
my $text = shift;
which seems pretty straight-forward to me. But in the second example,
they don't use "shift" at all, instead they just reference $_[0]
which also is relatively straight-forward. So can anyone tell me, is
this just an example of "there's more than one way to do it" or is
there some advantage to one way over the other?
(Benchmarking didn't seem to give any significant differences.)
Thanks

Hi,
I want to open a DBM-Hash with "dbmopen()", but I don't want to
create a new one, if the user enters a filename which doesn't exist.
I've read in an O'Reilly-book, that if I don't want to create a new
DBM-File with dbmopen, I have to use "undef" as the third parameter in
dbmopen.
But that doesn't work. It creates two files like this:
12 ---------- 2 sistie users 12288 Jan 30 22:25 file.dir
12 ---------- 2 sistie users 12288 Jan 30 22:25 file.pag
^^^^^^^^^^
Very interesting... ;-)
How can I open a DBM-Hash _without_ creating a new one, if the entered
filename doesn't exist??
Any hints?

There are the registry-based approaches. On CPAN you can find modules
for working with the Windows registry. It might be nice to use these only
from an install script instead of in your main program. You could then
set a constant at install and check that within the main program, or install
alternative versions of the affected files/packages based on the specific OS.
Another possibility I can think of, although I'm not sure about it, is
the old DOS 'ver' command. This prints a string including the build of the
OS. If Server and Workstation return a different build number (this is the
part I'm not sure about) or any other different info, you could use backticks
to capture this output and figure out on which you're running.
This is probably not an exhaustive discussion of what could work.

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.
