Top-posted because I don't want to obfuscate it.
This has to be an all-time winner for providing a direct answer
to the question asked in the least number of characters.
Abigail's posts regularly earn smirks from me, but this one

which is still meaningless unless you can make a regex return references
to inside a string. you can do that with substr but not directly with
m///.
and if you do the while m///g loop like i said, you won't need refs as
you will only process one element at a time and that should fit into
memory just fine.

Here's your problem. Do you see the difference?

Hi,
Thanks for your attention and time.
Ah, an important point I forgot to mention.
If the input isn't read from and to files, the script executes perfectly, in
spite of the same delay being present.
An aspect of this is flushing? ( flushing the tcp link and output, quite how
and why, I'm not sure)
If it's possible to print to standard output as opposed to a buffered
output, this shouldn't happen ?. :-))
Maybe if it's possible to send a soothing noise to the client( a few
characters maybe ?), this may also help
Thanks,
Jim

So the client says 'There was a communication problem' and the server
says the client the client dropped the connection.
I suspect what you have here is an impatient HTTP client that is
falsely inferring a communications error and dropping the connection
(and hense aborting the request) to the server if the response takes
longer than it thinks is reasonable.
This has nothing to do with Perl.

Subject: CGI and GD troubles
Message-Id: <3ACA219E.59F6A931@sequenom.com>
I have run into several troubles using CGI.pm and the GD.pm, and after
several days of reading everything I can find, I still have not solved
them.
What I am have done is to have a web page where a pop_up menu switches
between dynamically generated images on the page.
If for example I select image 1, an image is dynamically generated with
GD, showing my image with a bar drawn on it (for example), with data
from our db represented in different colors. This image is also an
image map, so that all data set images are clickable, resulting in a
'zoom' on a specific data set. I can then either click on the image to
zoom in or select another image via the pop_up menu.
Hopefully this makes sense! :)
I have gotten this working already, but there are some fundamental
issues that I am not sure about.
1. In GD, there is a way to load existing images rather than generate
everything dynamically. Is it more efficient to read in an image
'template' from disk and draw some small images on it, or to create the
whole thing from scratch? This is a 600x400 image, the drawn images are
roughly 20X300 (there are only 3 of them).
2. Currently, I am generating the image and writing it to disk, then
building the map around the image tag. I have found some articles in
usenet that describe how to generate inline images by using binmod
STDOUT and printing the GD image to stdout. But every article I found
required the proper header tag for an image. My image will be in a
form. Is it possible to generate this inline image as an imagemap in a
form? If so can someone point me in the right direction?
3. Everything I have done so far is straight scripting. I am a
biologist by background, but have been programming in a proprietary
scripting language (a cross between perl and python syntax) for a couple
years so only the OO stuff in perl is somewhat new to me (well, okay
perl is kinda new too :). Im afraid I dont know what the
advantages/disadvantages are for OOP for CGI and HTML projects. If
there is a huge gain to do this in OO fashion, I will do it, otherwise
what I have will be fine.
So far, as I say, everything seems to be working okay but I have just
started this project and wish to correct my course at the beginning if
needed rather than discover some huge performace issue when I am done,
due to design flaws because I didnt find something out I should have.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and advice!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I did lookup the man page but I skimmed
over it.
I had it in my head I was missing a library when all along it was only a file
that the

This is not compatible with the results I got. What did I do wrong? MD5

^ ^
Useless use of quotes. $dir alone will work fine there.
Misleading diagnostic message (doubly so. first it reports the
wrong directory name, second it might exist and still fail,
"Permission denied" for instance).
Left out helpful info from the diagnostic message. You should
include the $! special variable.

Message-Id: <9ad5dk$rbd$1@bcrkh13.ca.nortel.com>
Does anyone how to do this? Is this do-able?
I look up some doc on cookie & perl but it seems that a cookie can be
retrieved using perl if that cookie is set in perl.
Thanks

No, but it's as obvious as checking the cable when you can't ping
your router.

Who's talking about giving people the ability to do direct memory access
from a remote machine? Last time I checked, C++ and the sort had to be
compiled, and ran on one machine at a time. It's a pain to coerce C++
to evaluate code on the fly, so I don't know what you're trying to say.

The analogy I was making is that if you hate the idea of a newsgroup
having preqrequisites, then you are just as likely to hate the idea
that you can't study nuclear medicine without first studying biology
and chemistry.

I miss no point about FAQs. You make too many assumptions. You should
read a book or the standard non-FAQ docs with the software before you
look in the FAQ. You should then check the FAQ for a question before
you ask the question here. Prerequisites are prerequisites.

If it's not in the FAQ, then no one will tell you to go read the FAQ when
you ask it. If it really is too simple to be in the FAQ, then it's probably
been asked enough that it will be. If it is in the FAQ and you've checked
the FAQ, you won't need to ask it here. It's really that simple. They are
called Frequently Asked Questions because they are.
Here you infer that I'm a college senior. I haven't been in college for
over five years, thanks.

The intent of the thread is to inform people new to Usenet or to certain
groups that no sort of manners is expected of them. The thread repeatedly
states that it's okay to ask the same questions that ar ein the FAQs, that
it's okay not to read documentation, and that anyone who asks you to do
such things is just being rude. Read the thread. Know what the thread says.
Then maybe you can try to say the thread isn't trying to tear down all the
expectations of common courtesy expected on Usenet. When you do make such
a statement, those who have read along at home will be able to judge the
truth in your statements for themselves.

So, I guess unsolicited bulk email is Spam, and unsolicited bulk
snail mail we could call `and'. Just a thought.

Message-Id: <9adfe4$b05$1@newsg4.svr.pol.co.uk>
Hello,
I currently have Perl 5.001 on a solaris 7.0 operating system. It has come
to my attention
that certain perl modules like the constant.pm and various extras are not
present within the
library. Is there anywhere I can find these basic contant.pm and math
modules and put them
in the existing library? If so where can I get hold of such modules?
What's the most uptodate version of Perl which is available for the Solaris
operating system?
On sun's freeware web site, the most uptodate version for the Solaris 7.0
operating system
is perl5.005. Where can I find the binaries for perl?
Your help is grately appreciated.
