Message-Id: <9888fg$gt5$1@news1.sunrise.ch>
I have a Audio/Video Matrix where i can control over the Serialport. To
control the Matrix, i have to send em a 4 Byte long command. My Problem is
now, i can read the Input (there are only weird ASCII signs) but i have no
Idea, how i can send this 4 Byte Code directly to the Matrix. And how can
translate these weird ASCII Signs to a Binary, readable Sign...??
Franco@unit.net is a new, filled with enthusiasm Perl User and i would be
very grateful for every help about this Problem.

Here's my idea:
use CGI;
The CGI or CGI::Lite modules will give you strings that are decoded
properly when you grab the forma data using them, and will encode
them properly when you get ready to send them back to the browser.

Subject: Management of restricted area, perl script
Message-Id: <rileatkqh4f065umjv2m42cstm7tpgcnck@4ax.com>
Hi,
I need a Perl script which is able to manage a file of users for
restricted areas on a Unix server.
I want the protected area to be in a non-viewabl directory (for
example inside cgi-bin). Users with the right log/pw access the html
files, and are able to run some scripts inside the same protected
directory.
All this with a good interface to manage the file of users, and the
possibility to allow each authorized user to access "his" own
directory.
That's all. :-)
After visiting dozens of sites of perl.cgi scripts, trying more than
20, I found "protect", a nice one from Maze FreeWare
(http://www.maze.se/freeware). It has all the features, UNLESS that
the users can't run a script in the protected area where they are.
If you know what I am looking for, that would be great !
Thanks,
Slava

Hi,
I looked at the template list for pack and I didn't find
how to pack a double using the network-order , which is IEEE-be.
Does anybody how this can be achieved?
Would it work if I pack native "double" format first, then unpack
to native long, which means twice as many values, and the pack
again using long in "network/ieee-be" order?
lots of packunpackpack....

I think you will find that it is easier to send floating point variables
either in ASCII or as fixed point depending on your need. This is more
portable as floating point numbers tend to be stored in different
formats on different platforms. There is the 'd' output format which
packs a double but only in native order.

From perlsub:
To call subroutines:
NAME(LIST); # & is optional with parentheses.
>>>>>> NAME LIST; # Parentheses optional if predeclared/imported.
&NAME; # Makes current @_ visible to called subroutine.
Your problem has nothing to do with file handles.

Subject: Quick script question - I'm lost
Message-Id: <3AA7D271.93E103EF@mitre.org>
I am sorting through thousands of records.
The record is something like:
day month year time host seq num ip msgtype list type
Now, I find the number of times an ip apprears in all the records so I
do:
$hits{$ip}++
And the output file looks like this:
124.156.23.01 15,349
123.155.22.02 3,444
This will give me a list of all ips and the number of times the ip was
in the records.
Now, I need to add to the number of hits, the host associated with the
ip in the record where the ip was counted so the output file would look
like:
124.156.23.01 15,349 host1, host2, host3, host4, host5
I only need to list a host name once.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this efficiently (processing time is a
concern)?
Thanks for any thoughts/ideas.

XML Tidy will let you convert SGML to XML. You can get it from the W3C.

Yes. It depends entirely on how the underlying C runtime allocates and
frees memory. It does happen in some circumstances on a number of
different operating systems. It doesn't generally happen on Unices,
though some versions of glibc will do this some places in some
circumstances. (Large allocations on Linux being one)

In particular, I have a multi-connection TCP server that allocates
a hash for meta information about every connection (user, time of
last data trasnfer, stuff like that). After a few connections end
and a new one begins (with fewer overall clients being connected than
before), then substantial portions of memory get returned to Linux.
It doesn't happen under other Unixoid OSes I'd tested, so I'd
recommend to at least consider this fact when choosing where to
implement a sealed box solution for a customer. It may be worthwhile
when developing code for distribution to test it on Linux to see if
your code takes advantage of this property.

That works, thanks Jay! I had the same error with Abigails solution, but had
not had time to figure it out. I also would prefer not to suppress warnings,

Hi,
I'm planing to write a Tk based alarm clock, and make it open source
tool for the public. So the first thing I have to make sure is that
there's not such a thing out there. My research is enclosed at the
end of this email.
Do you know / heard of such program or anything similar? I'd like to
hear your comment. Thanks.
Here is what I've found and the reason that I don't like
personally:
xalarm clock: C based.
alarm clock in tkgoodstuff: too simple and not stand alone.
Beside, a search in all news in comp.lang.* on alarm/Tk turns out
nothing....
Thanks for your comment.
FYI, when I say alarm clock, I mean something you can set a time
with, and when the time goes off, it pop up and window with the
message and sound a alarm sound... When I say Tk based, I mean
either Tcl/Tk or Perl/Tk. I'm going to write it in Perl/Tk though.

Not necessarily, since Perl can interface to C based parsers. See the work
being done on Orchard right now. Though yes, in the general case and with
currently released libraries this tends to be true.

I'm using Per 5.005_03 and win32:OLE to create an excel 97 spreadsheet,
populate the cells with data and do some formating and charting. I've
run into a problem putting text strings greater than 1K into a single
cell. When I try, the data never gets there, Excel seems to hang and I
get an "undefined value" error the next time I reference the OLE object.
Increaing the buffer size with "$application->SetMaxBufSize(650000)"
didn't help.
I know Excel 97 supports up to 32K of text in a single cell, so don't
think this is an Excel problem.
Any ideas?

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.
