At least one person with a clear preference.
But what exactly are these problems with 5.6.0, that hopefully got fixed
in 5.6.1? And are there any new problems in 5.6.1 that people already
know of?
And how come 5.6.1 from ActiveState is still marked "BETA"?

You should have used "use strict" and -w in the first place.
That would have caught the error and told you.
AND you should read the Perl manuals about scoping.
(Probably "perldoc perlvar", I suppose)
Hint: At the time you calculate $result - $result1, $result
no longer exists.
Hint: Put your "my" declarations at the top of your program.

What you want is probably this:
-----------------------------------------
use strict;
use IO::Socket;
my $SERVICE = "daytime";
my @result;
my $i = 0;
for my $host (qw(ABC.com 123.com)) {
my $c = IO::Socket::INET->new("$host:$SERVICE")
or warn("Can't connect to $host: $!"), last;
$result[$i++] = <$c>;
}
my $answer = $result[0] - $result[1];
print $answer;
-------------------------------
Instead of the string "daytime", you probably need the corresponding
port address, don't you?
HTH,

Perhaps misunderstanding on my part, but I want to size the image being
created
around the width of the text string. How do I do this if in order to
calculate
said string's width, I have to have already created an instance of new
GD::Image?
In other words, I have to provide *some* dimensions initially in order
to run
GD::Image->stringTTF (hence the 100,100), but I want the actual image's
dimensions
to be different. I didn't see a function to resize the current image to
x,y pixels,
so I assumed I had to create a new image object (based on the calculated
string width).
Am I making any sense? :)

Well, I've not compiled anything thus far. I installed the ActiveState
PERL distribution
(binaries) as is, and then used PPM to install all the GD routines.
According to other
threads I found on Deja...err, umm, Google, TrueType support is by
default turned *on*.
I never actually installed libgd seperately. I'm assuming the PERL
installation
installed libgd.
I assume I'm not the only one out there attempting to use the GD library
with
ActiveState PERL under WinXX...
Thanks for the information!

Hi,
I have a DLL written in C++ and need to access some of its functions from
within a Perl program. I try using Win32::API but find it difficult to pass
parameters correctly. Below is a piece of an .h file with description of a
function (ITEncryptS) I need to call. Would anyone be able to tell how do I
pass/return parameters to it?
union TCryptKey
{
struct
{
unsigned char RCryptKey[8];
unsigned char LCryptKey[8];
};
unsigned char CryptKey[16];
};
struct SITEncDecData
{
void *input;
long InLength;
void *output;
long *OutLength;
TCryptKey* key;
};
extern "C" __declspec( dllexport )
int __cdecl ITEncryptS( SITEncDecData *ITEncryptData );
I know how to pack() things, but how do I pass values which would correspond
to pointers (*input, etc.)?
Thanks in advance.

I am writing a set of perl programs.

This file would have:
$adminpass = "abc123abc";
$location = "http://smash/cgi-bin/helpdesk";
etc. The problem is that I have no idea what to write in the main prograph
program to include this file when running the program.
In BASIC, it's #Include("config.cfg"), but I am trying to find the perl
alternative but the FAQ dosn't work.
I don't think it matters, but I am using Active Perl on a IBM/PC system but
the programs should also be able to work on a tipical www server.

7 % 2 is 1 not 3.5. % is the modulus operator. See perldoc perlop for

I'm guessing you mean 7 / 2.

There's probably a little confusion here. % is the perl operator for
'modulo' (described in perlop). It seems that you want the integer
portion of the division:
int(7/2)
--> 3
7 % 2
--> 1

Er... parameters to subs are ALWAYS passed by reference. It's just when
you do
my($par1, $par2) = @_;
or
my $par = shift;
that you make a copy.
It would indeed be very handy if you could just make aliases to all
parameters, but you can't. You can do one:
for my $var ($_[0]) {
...
}
and inside that block, $var is an alias for the first parameter.
It only works for scalars, too. Being able to alias arrays and hashes
would be neat, too.

Maybe itīs because the nntp servers need up to 24 hours to be up to date
with the other ones...

Although much has already been said:
Most providers have some mechanism to stop mass sms-ing, D1 and D2 have,
afaik.

Both articles came in the same "batch". I made the killfile entry upon
seeing the first one. My newsreader only reads the scorefile on
start-up, so the second one was not auto-deleted.

It was not a joke.

Subject: regular expression

Can anyone help with this regular expression please ? I'd like to take
the value from the end of a line, which varies in length, but always end
in a number or "N/A". e.g
some words + go on this line 23.57
some other rubbish + N/A
$Rate = $_;
$Rate =~ s/.*(\d+\.\d+)/$1/g;
I'd like to store the either the number or "N/A" in $RATE

$RATE is not $Rate. Perl is a case sensitive language.
($Rate) = /(\S+)\s*$/;
or
($Rate) = /(\d+\.?\d*|N\/A)/;

Are you talking about texts that got uploaded in a textarea field from a
HTML form to a CGI script? Er... judging by your subject line, it is.
Then you need to be aware that browsers insert CRLF, not LF, as line
endings. Thus, you need to get rid of the "\r", because you don't ever
need them, no matter what platform your server is on. Just do
$data{thestory} = tr/\r//d;
as well, and they're gone.

Notes
=====
- A line in the body of a post is considered to be original if it
does *not* match the regular expression /^\s{0,3}(?:>|:|\S+>|\+\+)/.
- All text after the last cut line (/^-- $/) in the body is
considered to be the author's signature.
- The scanner prefers the Reply-To: header over the From: header
in determining the "real" email address and name.
- Original Content Rating (OCR) is the ratio of the original content
volume to the total body volume.

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.
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.
