Yes,

Ok, getting a little farther but still stuck on this:
my $infomask = hex '1f';
my $codemask = hex '60';
# at this point, @bits = 10000000
if ((@bits & $infomask) == 0x0) {do something because bottom 5 bits are
zero }
I am failing this test and not executing the then part.

@bits is no good. It should be a number with that as a binary
representation. Either pack/unpack (b/B) or oct("0b...") should be able
to do that. Er... is the lowest bit '1', or is it the highest bit?
Furthermore, if you don't have enough with 32 bits, which is commonly
the limit for integers, then note that you can extend the system by
using strings instead of numbers. That way is unlimited. Also, it's time
to discover vec(), which lets you use a string as an array.
$flags = ''; # no bits set yet
vec($flags, 5, 1) = 1; # set bit 5
vec($flags, 35, 1) = 1; # set bit 35
vec($flags, 5, 1) = 0; # clear bit 5
$flags2 = '';
vec($flags2, 35, 1) = 1; # set bit 35
vec($flags2, 10, 1) = 0; # set bit 10
$combi = $flags & $flags2; # both strings -> string
print vec($combi, 35, 1); # is bit 35 set? It should be.

You are absolutely right, it does.
As usual when planning a module, its placement in the CPAN hierarchy
turns out to be th hardest problem. :)

I use Allaire Homesite 4.5 which has syntax color coding for Perl.
That said, I am a new Perl developer ( former Perl hack :^D ). So I
appreciate all of the info posted on this thread. I've downloaded Komodo
and will give it a shot.

Forgive me if I'm misinterpreting your problem, but in both vim and
emacs you can set up your editor to auto-indent with spaces rather
than tabs. Is this what you are looking for? I don'tremember how
to do it but I think the article was somewhere at www.jwz.org

It appears that you already know what you need.
What problem is it that you need help solving?

Have you taken a look at the script I'm doing? (which was previously given
a link to in my first posting:
http://www.colubs.com/saveStateDB.pm)
Maybe when your just using a method you don't have to bless the object, but
I'm overriding the CGI new method, then adding a few extra fields, I'm also
using various new methods as well as autoload..
Also, is it no true then when you DON'T bless the object properly your new
class won't be able to be extended upon? So if i don't bless it, it would
be bad oop practice, would it not?
In any case, when i don't bless my object, it can't find my new methods
so... it doesn't work.

i did. that's why i was curious which references you were using to
support your claim. Perl only supports it if the underlying libc has
it apparently. that is - don't count on it being there because it is
not portable. that is - it is not a Perl feature.

yes. however, that does not mean it is a Perl feature. it only
means that you cannot use a regex that checks only numeric digits
because the IEEE has special representations. it does not say that
Perl generates those special values or understands those special
values.

perhaps you should see earlier posts, and also identify the operating
system and version of Perl that you use if you post again. it would
be even better for you to try your claims on a variety of platforms.

I meant, the sentences about this show that on some perl versions NaN
_is_ a valid float and not an error that perl should normally catch.

I want to write a Perl script that examines a GIF file to determine the

Just count the pixels. But do it twice, since you post twice as well.

Everytime something looks too difficult to do, or rather it looks like its
gonna take a long time to do, and it could be generalized and in 1000 other
situations look at CPAN.org whether its been done before.
Nobody here is going to help you doing something which has been done
before and put in a module.

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.
