You really should include relevant details when you are asking for help,
otherwise you just waste peoples time.
Using my psychic powers, I'd guess your problem is that you don't realize
that when a checkbox is off, no {key}={value} pair is passed, as opposed
to when it's on it passes {key}=on.

yep
IMHO any function that messes with a file (in any sway)
should never mess with that file unless there is a lock.
(I guess NT has this part right)
Yes i realize some systems only run one proccess at a time etc....
but in this day and age ........ that is rare.

I need to set up an Apple Macintosh Powerbook so that it can capture and

give me some guidance as to how I can do that via MacPerl? I've found some

If you prefer writing HTML without a specialised editor and have the
wit to sort things out when they don't work out first time, then Perl
is indeed probably right for you.

If you have experience of any other programming language, you can pick
up the rudiments of Perl in a week. It will take you a couple of years
of active use to become much of an expert, but so what?

With check boxes for food types, not allergy types, the responsibility
is for the parent to decide which foods to avoid.

This is a good point, but not insurmountable. I am neither American
nor a lawyer, but I would imagine that the following caveats should be
sufficient:
(1) the site helps parents to choose recipes that avoid specified food
types; it does not suggest that such recipes are helpful for children
with specific allergies
(2) the site can not guarantee that the tagging provided by recipe
authors is accurate, it is up to users to ensure that the suggested
recipes meet their requirements

another reason i always use quotes for hash keys in all cases, even with

this is one shortcut perl does that i don't like. it lets too many odd

Hi.
I'm trying to do stg that's quite hard for me now:
my pattern is : /(.*)\((.*)\)\|/
if the string is : foo(bar(b)az)
i've got : $1=foo(bar
and $2=(b)az)
and what i wanted was : $1=foo , $2=(bar(b)az)
so i use : /(.*?)\((.*)\)\|/
but then if the string is : foo(bar)(baz)
i get : $1=foo
and : $2=(bar)(baz).
and what i needed was : $1=foo(bar) and $2=(baz).
i also tried /(.*)\((.*?)\)\|/ , but, of course , i get the same thing that
in my first case.
To resume , i'd like to get the last string between parethesis before the |
, but respecting the syntax of parenthesis!
Hope it's not as hard for you as it is for me =)

The fact that writers find their production legible tells very
little. E.g., I have no idea what the above statemetn would do. Or
$_ *= 3 if $some_condition for @a;
Do not have any mental picture of relative precedence of 'if' vs 'for'.

I'm missing it a lot too, but would hate it if it were implemented.
Reminds me some other posting of the last week, with a happy conclusion
of everybody agreeing with each other, happily forgetting that the
scope of 'my' starts on the *next* statement. Sorry, do not remember
any other detail...

As a data point: your "area" is about 6x8 inches on my monitor.
If I back up to the other side of the room, then I perceive it as
a smaller area.
Maybe you just need to get everyone to move closer to their CRTs?
HTH!

I was shocked! How could Tad McClellan <tadmc@augustmail.com>
say such a terrible thing:

I think it would be a service to brian d foy if everyone went out and
bought a bigger monitor.

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.
