Rest assured, they are there. Item #8 on the module list entitled
"User Interfaces". But you probably don't need to stop by CPAN. On
your local system try:

There are some scripts which come very close to doing this.
I cannot quite remember what they are called. These are
scripts which fall into the "fun" category. What they do
is allow users to modify a "story" in a sense. Many of
this scripts allow a user to write a short story and
submit it to server. Others play along and add their
own chapters. Many include password protection.
They are like an interactive story game. However, you
could use one of these for private diaries, easily.
I don't think they will create a unique directory
but will create a storage file with a unique name,
if you don't mind storing all files in one directory.
Some of these programs are very complex and offer
very nice features, including administrative
configuration, perfect for you.
Search sites which offer scripts, under a "game"
category. You will find some and come across what
they are called. I just cannot remember. Hmmm..
along the line of "story teller" I think.

Another has suggested use of reset, a built-in function.
This is a good suggestion and a valid suggestion. Care
needs to be taken when using reset to clear variables.
It is very easy to wipe out not only variables, but
stored arrays and other data as well. Reset is a loaded
gun, be careful with its use. You should also know reset
has restrictions. Both your syntax for reset and "where"
you are using it in a program, are important. Get to know
this function via test scripts before applying it to
a program upon which you rely for correct operation.
I have included a perldoc description of reset,
after my signature.
There is an alternative, a very simple one. Don't use
variable names which cause conflict. Use unique names.

reset EXPR
reset
Generally used in a `continue' block at the end of a loop to
clear variables and reset `??' searches so that they work again.
The expression is interpreted as a list of single characters
(hyphens allowed for ranges). All variables and arrays beginning
with one of those letters are reset to their pristine state. If
the expression is omitted, one-match searches (`?pattern?') are
reset to match again. Resets only variables or searches in the
current package. Always returns 1. Examples:
reset 'X'; # reset all X variables
reset 'a-z'; # reset lower case variables
reset; # just reset ?one-time? searches
Resetting `"A-Z"' is not recommended because you'll wipe out
your `@ARGV' and `@INC' arrays and your `%ENV' hash. Resets only
package variables--lexical variables are unaffected, but they
clean themselves up on scope exit anyway, so you'll probably
want to use them instead. See the my entry elsewhere in this
document.

Hi guys
I have managed to find out how to capture STDERR using backticks :)
it has revealed the problem as kill: (15575) - Not owner
I am trying to kill one script from another script
NOT a parent/child relationship
both have the apache server as the userid
How do I go about solving this dillemma
How do I become the "owner" of a process that is already running?
my only other choice seems to be to use a semaphore file, this will only
kill the process when it looks for it
so I can't make it jump out of the sleep call.
and seems a bit clumsy to me.
Thanks for your input so far

You need to "su" to the user that is running the process or "su" to root.
Then you can send a signal to the process. It would not be nice if
arbitrary users could kill processes started by other arbitrary users.

YOU may consider it as such, but that does not a requirement make. There
is nothing stopping people from posting without checking the FAQ, thus
the claim that is it a requirement before posting is simply silly. It is
not "non-optional" in fact, only in your opinion.

Which is not at all.

It is wrong because there will be people who don't "understand the
context", or, like me, who know "the context" doesn't exist.

Of course. That's why I said the only problem I had with this (other
than a couple of technical things) is the terminology. It's good to read
the FAQ, but converting that to a "must" when there is nobody to make it
a must is wrong.

It could mean that a few folks are trying to create a system of formal
sanctions, based on language in a FAQ which implies that there can be
such. It's called "bootstrapping".
Why not just speak the truth and let the honest people learn how you
expect them to behave? Those who don't want to read FAQs are going to
ignore your "must" anyway, so you gain nothing by making things up.

to OP:
There's also a short line from the back of the Camel book that's worth a
moment's epiphany, should your data be so inclined to work this way for
you :)
"Sorting on a manufactured key array can be more efficient than a custom
sort subroutine" .. uh, essentially. drat, I thought I had that thing
memorized by now. I was essentially 'struck by lighting' while reading
this at the local diner, and coded up something I'd been trying to work
out in my head for weeks, in roughly an hour, plugged it into the
current program, and voila! Eureka! etc etc. :)
ok here it is in its entirety: "Sorting on a manufactured key array may
be faster than using a fancy sort subroutine. A given array value may
participate in several sort coparisons, so if the sort subroutine has to
do much recalculation, it's better to factor out the calculation to a
separate pass before the actual sort."
Maybe that will spark some additional ideas for you.
(Say Uri, is your URL the same as the one that used to be at
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Larry_Rosler/sort/ or did that have other
detail as well? I'm getting a 404 on that one now. :/ )

I would change the order of your program flow. The way that is might lead to
long hours of straining.
Have you kepted any of your old CS text books ? Then your Standard Thank

What os ver do you need it for ? Why are you printing out environment

A good approach on this would be to use search engines
to establish a decent list of sites which offer free
perl scripts and free cgi scripts. There are hundreds.
After you locate a good number of sites, search each
one for "ftp programs" or "ftp scripts."
Another alternative, which may turn up more results
than you want, is to do a general search of the
internet using terms such as:
ftp upload
ftp script
ftp.cgi
ftp.pl
upload.cgi
upload.pl
ftp program
Some terms, as you can see, are rather general
in nature and will return binary executables
as well. Select your terms carefully. Odds are
very good you will find a script which comes
close to what you want. Adding an environmental
variable print and thank you page, are easy.
Work on finding a good ftp program or two
and go from there.

Actually it was pretty funny. Someone who advertises "No nonsense,
professional websites" should have no trouble whipping up a simple CGI
program like that. Here's something germane to your query:
perldoc CGI
perldoc -f mkdir
perldoc perlvar
perldoc -f open
perldoc perlsec
perldoc -f print

Nothing is ever a total loss; it can always serve as a bad example.

Subject: Worldclock program???
Message-Id: <3B00F474.B02FA3E8@lucent.com>
Hi all,
I'm new to Perl, very new...
I have been asked to created a worldclock that will appear on a web page to show
the time of a number of countries at once.
I have been trying to use GIF's, the idea was to create a blank main gif and
have gif's numbering 0-9. the number would appear on top on the orginal gif and
a refresh command would keep the time running.
But my knowledge is nowhere near the level I need, So does anyone here have
helpful comments or hints?
I have tried to look on the web sites for something similar that I could modify
but with on luck,
Thanks
Niall
