Hi,
Where could I find a script allowing to send a form bymail (like the
famous formmail), but where the sender could attach a file with his
text ?
Thanks !

One could adapt the code I wrote at
<http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/col46.html>
rather easily to allow some open fields, rather than be a fixed
payload to a fixed address.

While earning my Masters degree and earning my Teaching
Credentials, both primary and secondary, there is a
requirement is to be met by all California trained
teachers, one requirement of numerous very rigorous
requirements. All California teachers must attend a
lengthy series of classes, a two year post-grad course,
which includes extensive studies of student related
illnesses, both physical and mental. Appropriately,
this course of study includes dyslexia. Over my many
years as an English and Science teacher, as a Professor
of English, I have developed quite a talent for spotting
those suffering dyslexia and, spotting those whom are not.
Incidently, I have read your dyslexia story before,
virtually word-for-word. However, different author.
Women, like elephants, have large hips, an equally
large memory and often prove to be just as nosey.

My system is not enabled for Russian Cyrillic characters,
nor is yours. I've also read this "I speak Russian" story
before, a number of times.
Je parlerais plutôt français, si vous ne vous occupez pas.
Cependant, je parlerais plutôt avec une personne honnête.

I am curious why your writing style, word arrangement,
semantic syntax, relative temporal tense, punctuation,
spelling and grammar, all have changed so dramatically
between your first article and this article.
Linguistic analysis indicates two different people wrote
these articles although I am certain this is not true
based upon more subtle personal language usage idioms.

Well Godzilla! just to sate you curiosity I'm dyslexic and find it
very hard to express myself in this medium not so much because I can't
but the fact is my spelling and grammar are not exactly what you would
call exceptional so I tend to keep my phrasing simple as not to course
myself embarrassment.
Hope that clears it up for you although why you would be interested is
a mystery to me, as I have stated previously I have already received
all the help I need with this particular problem.
Surely this post was designed on your part to, how shall we say take
the piss and point out my grammatical mistakes and your own rather
limited intellectual capacity.
Just one other point English is not my first language ether although I
am indeed in England at the moment if you would like to continue this
discussion in Russian I would be more than happy to oblige you.
If my interpretation of your post was wrong I apologise in advance but
lets be honest what other reason could there possibility be.

I always try to do this whenever possible. Generally, I write the utility
itself and test, then I write a login script & test, then I wrap the utility
in the login script. Then I add to this as necessary. Much easier in steps,

Subject: ANNOUNCE: moodss-14.1
Message-Id: <3AB5134E.1B1A84DC@free.fr>
Hi everybody: here is a new version of moodss.
Check it out! (or at least the screenshots at
http://jfontain.free.fr/moodss3.gif or
http://jfontain.free.fr/moodss4.gif :).
Notes:
- moodss modules can now be written in Python! Sample randpy and
minipy modules are provided. Documentation (see randpy.py file)
needs improving. Feedback is highly welcomed.
(modules can also be written in Perl, and Tcl of course)
- please let me know if you are interested in writing modules in
Ruby (I'm on a roll :-)
### CHANGES ###
--- version 14.1 ---
allow multiple concurrent Python modules (tclpython or tclpython2
version 2.0.1 required)
implemented dynamic loading of Python modules
module programmers: module data display was updated even if updates
counter was not increased, whereas now that condition is actually
checked
cpustats module could fail with a division by zero error on repetitive
updates
MySQL myvars module updated to support 3.23.34 and 3.23.35 servers
### README ###
This is moodss (Modular Object Oriented Dynamic SpreadSheet) version
14.1.
Moodss won in the Best System Admin Technology category (Tcl Tips and
Tricks, Valuable Real World Programming Examples) at the O'Reilly
Tcl/Tk 1999 Conference.
Linux Magazine calls it a "lifesaver".
Tucows gives it 5 stars (cows or penguins :-).
Moodss is a modular application. It displays data described and
updated in one or more modules, which can be specified in the command
line or dynamically loaded or unloaded while the application is
running. Data is originally displayed in tables. Graphical views
(graph, bar, 3D pie charts, ...), summary tables (with current,
average, minimum and maximum values) and free text viewers can be
created from any number of table cells, originating from any of the
displayed viewers. Thresholds can be set on any number of cells.
Specific modules can easily be developed in the Tcl, Perl and Python
scripting languages or in C.
A thorough and intuitive drag'n'drop scheme is used for most viewer
editing tasks: creation, modification, type mutation, destruction,
... and thresholds creation. Table rows can be sorted in increasing or
decreasing order by clicking on column titles. The current
configuration (modules, tables and viewers geometry, ...) can be saved
in a file at any time, and later reused through a command line switch,
thus achieving a dashboard functionality.
The module code is the link between the moodss core and the data to be
displayed. All the specific code is kept in the module package. Since
module data access is entirely customizable (through C code, Tcl,
Perl, Python, HTTP, ...) and since several modules can be loaded at
once, applications for moodss become limitless.
For example, thoroughly monitor a dynamic web server on a single
dashboard with graphs, using the Apache, MySQL, cpustats, memstats,
... modules. If you have replicated servers, dynamically add them to
your view, even load the snmp module on the fly and let your
imagination take over...
Along with a core trace module, random, ps, cpustats, memstats,
diskstats, mounts, route, arp, kernmods, netdev, pci, system, MySQL
(myquery, mystatus, myprocs, myvars) modules for Linux, ping, snmp and
snmptrap for UNIX, apache and apachex modules are included (running
"wish moodss ps cpustats memstats" mimics the "top" application with a
graphic edge and remote monitoring capability).
Thorough help is provided through menus, widget tips, a message area,
a module help window and a global help window with a complete HTML
documentation.
Moodss is multi-langual thanks to Tcl internationalization
capabilities. So far only English and partially French are
supported. Help with other languages will be very warmly welcomed.
Development of moodss is continuing and as more features are added in
future versions, backward module code compatibility will be maintained.
I cannot thank the authors of the tkTable, BLT, MIME/SMTP and the HTML
libraries enough for their great work.
In order to run moodss, you need to install the following packages
(unless you can use the rpm utility, see below):
Tcl/Tk 8.3.1 or above, at (or at a mirror near you)
http://dev.scriptics.com/ or ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/
the latest tkTable widget library at:
http://www.hobbs.wservice.com/tcl/main.html
the latest BLT library at:
ftp://tcltk.sourceforge.net/pub/tcltk/blt/
eventually the latest tclperl library for writing modules in Perl, or
the latest tclpython library for writing modules in Python at:
http://jfontain.free.fr/
(see the INSTALL file for complete instructions, for UNIX and also
Windows platforms).
You also have the option of using the moodss rpm file (also in my
homepage), if you are using a Redhat Linux system (6.0 or above).
You can find the required tcl, tk, tktable, blt, tcpperl and other
rpms at: http://jfontain.free.fr/
Whether you like it (or hate it), please let me know. I would like to
hear about bugs and improvements you would like to see. I will correct
the bugs quickly, especially if you send me a test script (module code
with a data trace would be best).
###
you may find it now at my homepage:
http://jfontain.free.fr/moodss-14.1.tar.gz
http://jfontain.free.fr/moodss-14.1-1.i386.rpm
http://jfontain.free.fr/moodss-14.1-1.spec
and a bit later at:
ftp://contrib.redhat.com/ in libc6 sub-directory.
Enjoy and please let me know what you think.

Looking for help with CPAN module Text::Autoformat
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/Text-Autoformat/Text/Autoformat.html
I am working on a script where I need to format a very long document and
I just can't get it right. I am no programmer by any stretch, more of a
hacker. I learned what I know from books, from other scripts, and a lot
of trial and error.
What I am looking for is if anyone has used this module and can provide
some clear examples, other than what is in the documentation. The
documentation is, shall we say, over my head. What I need to do is
center certain portions of the document, insert page breaks, and stop
the auto renumbering of the bulleted items (a feature of this module). I
have written the author, but he is out of the country and has not
responded.
If anyone can help, please let me know. It will be greatly appreciated.

You should use UPPER CASE filehandles.
You should always, yes *always*, check the return value from open():
open(HANDLE,"+<$file") || die "could not open '$file' $!";
You cannot interleave reads and writes for the same filehandle
like you have below, that is why the file is not modified.
Perl FAQ, part 5:
"How do I change one line in a file/
delete a line in a file/
insert a line in the middle of a file/
append to the beginning of a file?"
Why don't you just do it as suggested in the FAQ?

You should not include useless options.
> $word =~ s/1001/0001/;
^^ where's the 'g'?
You should not omit needed options :-)
That s/// with change '99100177' into '99000177'. Is that what
you want it to do?
> print"found $count times at $word\n";
^^^^^^
Is that supposed to be $count or $counter?
> $counter++;
You do not need to do the m// before the s///. if the pattern does
not match the s/// will not do anything.
if ( $count_this_line = $word =~ s/^1001$/0001/g ) {
$counter += $count_this_line; # add to grand total
print "found $counter times at $word\n";
}
>any thoughts ??
Yes. Check the Perl FAQ before posting to the Perl newsgroup as
required by netiquette.

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.
