Thanks to everyone in this group for their advice/guidance.
I finished my little app and it's online at
http://www.lophty.com/rebootage/rebootageX.htm.
The front-end is shockwave (just a heads up for those who despise/fear
plugin content).
Basically you can drag around all of the sprites on the stage of the
shockwave movie and pressing "enter" sends the browser to the perl script
with all of the graphic sprite file name information and locations in a
query string appended to the url. The script parses the query string and
produces a "screen capture" of the shockwave movie stage.
The number of sprite instances, their locations on the background, etc. are
not hard-coded, so you can "hack" the query string a bit.
Not amazing or glorious, but my first foray into perl.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi there,
Suppose I have a string of the following form
INTERESTING_SUBSTRING1 ... trash ... INTERESTING_SUBSTRING2 ... trash ...
repeated an unknown number (n) of times.
How do I do a match so that all the INTERESTING_SUBSTRINGs end up in $1,
$2, $3, ..., $2n?
Thanks very much for your help,

Message-Id: <3ac1e653@duster.adelaide.on.net>
Obviously the interesting substrings will all have to match a pattern which
you can write as a regular expression. For example the following will search
the string for sets of three digits followed by one character, and add the
matches to an array:
$_ = "999sasjflksjf999bkljsahfjalksh999vksjhfsj999c";
while(/\d{3}./g) { push(@matches, $&) }
print join("\n", @matches);
The /'s contain the regular expression. The g after the regular expression
makes it keep matching until the end of the string is reached, then return 0
(if you don't have the g it will successfully match the first occurance of
the pattern every time the while loop iterates). The $& variable contains
the last successful match.
For more on regular expressions see perlre.
Hope this helps.

^^^^^^^^^
Not so obvious. You can take one of _two_ approaches.
Match the interesting things, use m//g.
Match the trash, use split().
The OP did not give enough information to get a real piece of code.

Use
@matches = ($string =~ /PATTERN/g);
It puts the matches into the elements of @matches, instead of into $1,
$2, $3..., $n, which is more useful behavior anyway.
The /g is the important feature. See the manual.

use g for "global"
(@results)=($string_you_search_in =~ m/INTERESTING_SUBSTRING/g);
will copy the first occurrence of INTERESTING_SUBSTRING into $results[0],
the second into $results[1], the third into $results[2] and so on.

Looks like your request fails and that get() returns 'undef'. Have you
provided the right URL?

S: Yes. I even tried a page on my own local server Apache server, with the
sam result. I've also stumbled across another way of doing it with the CGI
module. Like this:
use CGI;
$someURL = "http://liquidspin.dhs.org";
$hugeLongString = get( $someURL );
from http://liquidspin.dhs.org/perl/#7 but this one complains that "get()"
is an undefined subroutine. So I'm back with LWP. Again, is there another
way?

Works for me : trying from the command-line, with a well-known URL :
$ perl -MLWP::Simple -e '$w=get("http://www.perl.com/");print $w'
<html>
<head><title>www.perl.com - DBI is OK</title> <meta name="robots" content="index,follow">
[....]
Look at the LWP::Simple manpage. The getprint method prints also an
error message in case of failure. For more avanced error handling, use
LWP::UserAgent. If your script fails for all URLs, then something in its
environment prevents it from working.

Strange idea. The CGI module does not implement an HTTP client. It's not
appropriate here. (You could have tried Make::Coffee::Italian as well.)

I use the following to test if a job is running. The substr sets ths pid,
and grep gets the job name.
It's worthwhile to call 'daemonize', which I obtained from a FAQ, at the

sub running {

use POSIX 'setsid';
sub daemonize {

open STDIN, '/dev/null' or die "Can't read /dev/null: $!";

I can tell you that I also protest what they did to him by a complete
personal boycott of Intel.
I will never buy anything with a Pentium in it. Aside from the fact
that it was 1) "creatively acquired" technology and 2) is inferior
to AMD, the third reason I refuse to buy Intel if at all possible
is what they did to Randal, and this has ever been so even before
reasons 1 & 2 came to light.
Sorry for drifting OT, but I feel strongly enough about this to
vote with my wallet; and perhaps if enough others did as well, it
would hit Intel where they deserve to be hurt the most.

Note : you should _always_ check return values of system calls.
open (File_Handle, "File") or die "Can't open File: $!\n";
> while (<File_Handle>)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You read a line here (the contents of the line is stored in $_)
> {
> @array=split (/:/, <File_Handle>);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and you read another line here. That's the problem.
You want
@array=split (/:/, $_);
or, more concisely,
@array=split /:/;
> print ("$array[0]\n");

This reads a line from "File" and stores it in the variable $_

Here you are reading the second line from "File". Then the loop goes
back to 'while (<File_Handle>)' and stores the third line in $_. When it
gets back here the second time there is nothing left in the file so you
get an error message.

Subject: printing colons
Message-Id: <dwnw6.96$__1.2348@eagle.america.net>
Hi,
I am having some strange trouble printing a colon in a string in Perl. This
is the part of my script that is giving me trouble:
# if the file is a java file or jsp, just copy it
if($_ =~ /\.jsp|\.java/){
$pathtofile = $_;
chop($pathtofile);
print "\/usr\/local\/bin\/scp webl\@$fromhost\:";
#print "$pathtofile\n";
} else {
}
This code reads an input file, and determines what command to print out
based on file extension. My output should look like this:
/usr/local/bin/scp webl@bedfellow:/path/to/file
Instead, I am getting this:
:[ken@binkley perl]$ bl@bedfellow
It is putting the colon at the beginning of the line, followed by a prompt,
then the rest of the stuff! I don't get this at all! I tried backslashing
the colon, putting it on a separate line, etc, but nothing works. How can I
get it to print at the end of the statement, as above?
Please e-mail me with any answers at ken@ci2i.org.
Thanks,
Ken

You should anchor this pattern at the end of the string :

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.
