I have read all the responses so far in this thread. None offer
any actual code, including my own. All suggest use of CGI.pm
save for mine. I suggest adding a read and parse routine with
either a query string or form action for access. One article
suggests a format using CGI.pm which does not work.
Use of CGI.pm is quite often the worst choice for many applications.
Within this article, I offer two pieces of code, one uses CGI.pm
and the other, my own very short read and parse, both written to
meet your specific parameters. I have included benchmark tests
which tell quite a tale.

Your code makes no effor to decode special characters that _would_ be encoded,
an obvious example being space (%20), which is why many people will point
to CGI.pm. If you were desperate to cut time, you could use the readparse
function from the old cgilib.pl

I've had the following recent experience compiling 5.6.1. First, I used
the "C for AIX Compiler" (fileset vac.C level 5.0.1.0) on AIX 4.2.1. The
"make test" reported failures for four tests:
lib/io_multihomed....FAILED at test 1
lib/io_sock..........FAILED at test 1
lib/io_udp...........FAILED at test 1
lib/syslog...........FAILED at test 0
I then copied the installation directory to a 4.3.3 system (at the 4330-06
maintenance level). I tried "make test" (no re-compile) and it failed
many tests with errors like
lib/dprof............Can't load '../lib/auto/File/Glob/Glob.so' for
module File::Glob: readExports: bad magic at ../lib/XSLoader.pm line
75. at ../lib/File/Glob.pm line 101
Compilation failed in require at lib/dprof.t line 26.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at lib/dprof.t line 26.
Obviously not recompiling was a bad idea, I guess because of
incompatibilities between the code and the very old C compiler and run-time
on this system: xlC.C 3.1.3.0 installed nearly five years ago. I did "make
clean" and recompiled. This allowed a successful "make test" with no
failures at all.
Finally, I installed vac.C 5.0.1.0 on this system, "make clean", and
re-compile. "make test" was again successful.

Although Laszlo's answer is the ideal, it may be tricky on Windows, and ODBC
with Perl may be another alternative that could be easier to get working on
Windows.
However, I have on my very PC a version of Perl 5.6 with DBD::Informix and
Perl/Tk for graphical programming. A collegue who has Microsoft Visual C++
(don't know which version) down-loaded the perl source from CPAN and made a
functioning build. Then, with a bit of encouragement he got the
DBD::Informix to work, and after further prodding he got the Perl/Tk
compiled and working. Beautiful.
So it can be done! The most usual thing people do on Windows is to install
Active Perl, but I'm not at all sure of how easy it will be to put the DBD
and Tk into it. Perhaps it's just as easy if you have the C compiler?
Anyway, if you have any specific problems please post questions. I'll try to
pass them onto my collegue and get answers for you. It'll be a bit slow but
if nobody else can help you, it's better than nothing.
Good luck.

Subject: Perl and pdf-files
Message-Id: <slrn9hdiv5.2g8f.boll@treebeard.tolkien.dk>
Hello
I am trying to figure out how to actually make perl read text from a
pdf-file. So far I've been unsuccessful.
The misc modules, apparantly, are written to do much more advanced stuff
than what I currently. I've been reading the perldoc's, but I can't seem to
get the modules work they way I want them to.
I pretty much need a way to open a pdf-file, read any text from it, and put
it into a scalar.
Admittedly, I have no idea what a pdf-file contains, or how it's formatted,
but I am assuming that reading content from it in the above specified manner
should be possible.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I think these are deleted manually with the help of an image file
viewer. That's how I understand the problem at hand. Otherwise, you'd be
right: just delete the files in KEEPERS and in ORIGINAL in one go.

Message-Id: <2a6ee727.0105311636.7b00f2c3@posting.google.com>
I am just starting out with PERL,
although I have experience in programming with C.
Could someone point out to me why this code prints out "1"???
When count is incremented to 1, doesn't the expression in while loop
becomes false and exits??
$count = 0;
Perl code
---------
while ($count < 1)
{
print ("$count\n");
$count+=0.1;
}
Result
------
0
0.1
0.2
0.3
0.4
0.5
0.6
0.7
0.8
0.9
1
Additional Problems
-------------------
Also I have noticed that if I use a bigger number in the expression in
the while loop say, $count < 50, I will get strange result after the
loop
runs for some time. The result will have a lot of decimal places.
5.8
5.9
5.99999999999999
6.09999999999999

Subject: reading records which *start* with some constant string
Message-Id: <98deab61.0105311423.101f43c3@posting.google.com>
I have a large file from which consists entirely of records which all
start (rather than end) with some constant string, for example
"some_header". I would like to read and process all records. The best
solution I came up with seems too clumsy, because it uses the string
as input record separator ($/), then strips this string from the end
and adds it to the beginning of each record:
cat file | perl -ne 'BEGIN{$/="some_header"} s|$/||; next unless $_;
$_ = $/ . $_; process_record($_)'
Is there a way to make it less ugly? Thank you!

This may help, Perl FAQ, part 4:
"Why am I getting long decimals (eg, 19.9499999999999) instead
of the numbers I should be getting (eg, 19.95)?"
Accuracy and precision are concepts from Number Theory.
Nothing much particular to Perl in it.
Yes, Number Theory is hard :-)

I think you are confused here. Below, you are not using '<' as a Perl
operator at all, but as part of your DOS command line. I suspect this is not
your problem, however.

Since you are redirecting the standard output to a file, it is pointless
to use backticks for this. You might want to use system() instead.
Otherwise there should be no problem with using '<' and '>' for redirection
(so long as this conforms to DOS syntax: they are not part of Perl here).
<OT>
You might want to double check that your paths are correct.

>But there's a problem with the < character.
You need to say exactly what is going wrong, what error messages you get or
what things that you expect to happen fail to happen. Otherwise we are just
guessing here.

Probably, you are asking the wrong question :-).

Don't you have any newsgroups with "test" in its name? Because it sure

Well, I may be a troll, but I'm not whoever it is you have this thing going
with, and I think your post was a waste of valuable electrons. Sheesh. If
you want to flame people, do it with style, panache, and competence. Your
post wasn't a FAQ, the insults were ill-chosen and inconsistently applied,
and you left the reader with no real reason to prefer you over the target
of your attacks.
(And if you want to assert that I'm really just a sock puppet for some guy
on comp.object, go right ahead.)

... and you didn't remember to thread the references, so you *DID* create
a new thread. You've certainly established your technical competence here.

And if we didn't, you think we'd take crap like this? Hell, no. We'd
crosspost to alt.religion.kibology and say things like
I need to write a rendering program which can display something
that looks like durian smells. Should I use perl or python?

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

answer them even if I did know the answer.
