Unless the hash happened to be "full", and your addition of the key 'x'
caused it to double its buckets?

Since you are frank about it, let me be too: If we did this, we
would be giving away work that other people, or even the very same

I need to send simple emails from perl scripts on a linux box. Is there some

Please disreguard the previous post of mine. I was not sure what mail

Mime::Lite is probably what you want.
Net::SMTP describes how to connect to an email system, not
what is in the email (which is what you want to
manipulate).

As I pointed out when this question was asked last week your question
is analagous to asking "How do I use a postbox to mail an envelope
containing a CD?". SMTP cares very little what is inside the message.
Look into the MIME modules.

I have just read the first 60 of its 400+ pages, and I don't think
I'll read much more. Look at this piece of science fiction:
The statement
if ( $a == $b )
will work fine if both values are numerical. If they are textual,
Perl compares the logical value of the two strings, which is always
true. This process might seem confusing, but even the undefined
value resolves to true when comparing numerically.
_Debugging Perl_ by Martin Brown, p. 38.
Next to the explicit falsehoods (three in a paragraph), it is easy
to overlook that he calls a statement what is only part of one and
uses the variables $a and $b which are best avoided, especially
in a book about debugging Perl. (A few pages later he correctly
warns against their use.)
Now, claiming what is evidently wrong isn't really typical of what
I've seen. The slippage of concepts (from "numeric" to "logical"
in this case) is however typical, and therefore it is often hard
to nail down what he is actually saying to the point of deciding
whether it is right or wrong. Only a page later, he calls the
"&&" and "||" operators "comparison operators", and for pages
explaining the working of the Perl parser, he goes on about "lines"
of Perl code where he obviously means "Perl statements", except
for a few cases which indeed only make sense for lines.
Conclusion so far: The author doesn't think very clearly. If his
muddled thinking gets him in trouble, he isn't above making things
up to explain what he doesn't understand. He doesn't know Perl
well enough to realize when this leads him to statements that are
blatantly false. The book has to be met with distrust.

what bothers me is that he isn't totally clueless like the authors of
the countless horrible perl books out there. but he isn't connected to
the perl community so he doesn't get tech reviews from people who can
help. the best perl publishers (3 now, o'reilly, manning and
addison-wesley) all use the community to help with their books. so why
doesn't brown? is it osborne/mcgraw hill's problem?

I think the book might have become a quite useful book about debugging
in general, perhaps touching on several languages not excluding Perl.
The author is obviously a professional (muddled thinking notwithstanding)
and may have worthwhile things to say. Perhaps someone thought a book
about Perl debugging would sell more copies, let the author bite it off,
never mind what he can chew. This is a situation that could make an
author consciously or subconsciously avoid contact with the Perl community,
having an idea about the amount of re-writing a serious review would
entail.

Check out ClibPDF. Do a search. I know they are the basis for most
'on-the-fly" pdfs on the net. I use their C library. I do not
remember whether they have a direct perl mod or lib, but you can
incorporate the C code in perl anyway.

Hi there,
I definetly need a hand with perl and cookies.
I wrote two very small skripts but wasn't retrieving the cookie back.
Skript one sets a cookie (this works just fine, I also checked the cookies.txt
on the client and the entry is there, this shows me the cookie has been placed).
But retrieving the cookie back, with skript two, doesn't work, the value is always
empty.
What am I doing wrong? Can somebody please help me out? I appreciate it!
skript one (set the cookie):
#!/usr/bin/perl
# cookie1
use strict;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Cookie;
my $CGIquery = CGI::new();
my $id = "7";
my $exp='+1d';
my $your_cookie = new CGI::Cookie(
-name=>'dva',
-value=>"6676",
-expires=>$exp
);
print $CGIquery->header(-cookie=>$your_cookie);
print "cookie set";
$CGIquery->end_html();
skript two (retrieve the cookie):
#!/usr/bin/perl
# cookie2
use strict;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Cookie;
my $CGIquery = CGI::new();
my $retreived_cookie = cookie('dva');

That doesn't. What you wrote calls order() in scalar context.
Only literal comma causes an implicit join.

I am looking for a way to modify some simple perl source and add an email

know what it is. The sendmail samples I found don't work because senmail is

I don't know what "usenet admin" is, but being one should enable you
to find the description text that goes with c.l.p.misc. It reads
"The Perl language in general". No word in your query has anything
to do with the Perl language, whatever you may think about the
relationship between Perl and CGI.

Your primary mistake was an all too common one: You went to the
wrong newsgroup with your question. Not accepting this makes you
the jerk.

It appears that the last time I tried to send this it got cut off
so here goes another try.
The following program calls a function which returns a list of
refs to arrays and then prints the arrays. It seems to work;
however, the strange thing is that if I simply reverse the order
of the two print statements (i.e. cut out the first and place it
after the second) then it no longer works.
(*a,*b) = f();
print

Subject: use Time::localtime; inside require packages
Message-Id: <E%TP6.241562$Z2.2694626@nnrp1.uunet.ca>
I called use Time::localtime; not in my main script but a script that I
require "time.cgi". For some reason this causes my script to work off and
on in which it will crash every second or third time I use it. So instead I
stuck use Time::localtime; inside the main script and now everythings fine.
Does anyone understand what is happening here? Can you not use packages
inside a script you require? Why would it work off and on if at all?
Thanks,
Chad

There is a well known glitch in the Time::localtime package that causes
your motherboard battery to leak acid if the module is compiled at an
inopportune moment. You must use "use", and not "require", to avoid
corrosion- but this is all perfectly explained in the module's
documentation. See
% perldoc Time::localtime
for details.
On a less obnoxious note, why not show the relevant portion of
your main script and the "time.cgi" script that actually makes
use of localtime()? My guess is that you aren't aware of the
important compile-time effects of that package:
% perl -wle 'use Time::localtime; print localtime;'
Time::tm=ARRAY(0x815d7f8)
% perl -wle 'require Time::localtime; print localtime;'

"perldoc perlvar" can, if you look for %INC.
You will see that this hash contains an entry for each module that
has been loaded, plus information about where it was found in the
file system.
Note that this is not equivalent to the set of modules your program
will ever use under any circumstances. There are ways to decide
at run time (well, often compile time) which modules to load and
which to leave alone.
It also doesn't address the subject of version numbers. I think
the standard is to deposit a version string in the variable $VERSION
in the module's package, but not every module does this. I am also
not quite up-to-date about the format of a version string. Maybe
someone can fill in?

Have you tried accessing the URL to your script using an ordinary web
browser? Chances are you'll see an error message, generated by the web
server, in HTML format ("Server Error," "Forbidden," or the like).
