Not always.
This perl script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
exit;
should finish faster than this C program after it's compiled:
int main(void) { while(1); return 0; }
You're comparing apples with onions. And you can't even compare, say, a
C interpreter with a C compiler since the difference depends not only on
"compiled vs interpreted" but also, for example, on the quality of the
compiler or interpreter (as is seen by the fact that some compilers are
considered "better" than others).
cheers,
Philip

He's trying to use the Sybase::* modules (aka sybperl). I think he's
installed the ActiveState versions of these modules, but I'm not sure.
In any case he needs to make sure that the Sybase client libraries are
properly installed.

Here's one way. From the Net::LDAP manpage:
: $result = $ldap->add (
: dn => 'cn = Barbara Jensen, o=University of Michigan, c=us',
: attr => [ 'cn' => ['Barbara Jensen', 'Barbs Jensen'],
: 'sn => 'Jensen',

(after calling new and bind).

Except it don't and I can't work out why. I even tried perl -ni.tif -e
'unlink @ARGV' *
And that leaves the old files there. :-(

Maybe if you specify the files on the command line, but it still leaves
the original file names.
perl -ni.tif -e 'unlink' *

This isn't a Perl variable, it's just an anonymous scalar value. If
you want to access it in a Perl program you can return it from an XS
routine.
If you really need to create a new scalar variable, use the get_sv
macro. This is described in perlguts.

Actually I have an array in C, which I want to be
available in perl just after perl_parse and before perl_run.
How can I do that?

First of all, don't stealth-cc a Usenet posting. If you post to
Usenet *and* mail the author, then say so in the mail.
Second, have you even looked at the perlguts document yet? It describes
a number of methods to create and populate a Perl array. If you have
specific problems with one of the methods, ask again.
I don't know how to arrange for this to be executed at compile time;
it would probably depend on how you invoke the Perl interpreter in
the first place.

perl complains not a word -- simply dies and drops to the shell prompt.
I have checked the scalar $action, which is set by splitting the value
pulled from the hash, and the scalar $action2, which is set with a literal.
$action == $action2 is true.
The command above, with die, outputs nothing. Then again, warn() doesn't
output either, so I've come to believe STDERR is being trapped. The
following, though, yeilds SUCCESS even though the command fails to execute:
if (system($action) == 0) {
print "SUCCESS\n";
} else {
print "FAILURE $?\n";
}
I will work on paring this down to a small script that I can post that will
demonstrate the problem. I'm not the original author and this is my first
perl project of any consequence, so that may take a while ;-)
Thanks all -- stay tuned.

CGI.pm is a nasty module to use if all you need is CGI arguments.
Using CGI.pm under mod_perl increases the size of your Apache processes
by around 2 MB compared with something simpler like Apache::Request,
which also provides a param() method. In any case, the point is moot
since the OP is migrating his site's CGI content to PHP, not Perl.
As for the argument scheme, it's not superior, it's just different.
In some situations the CGI arguments have a natural hierarchy such
as /chapter/section/paragraph which lends itself nicely to directory
style naming. In other situations this is not the case, such as
?x=14&y=7&z=5. Which one is more suitable depends on what the
arguments represent, IMHO.

This may be true if NONE of the pages on the site need CGI.pm stuff.
with mod_perl CGI.pm stays in memory between requests, so if you have to
use CGI.pm at all, you can as well use it in all cgi scripts.

Subject: Looking for DB Extension for Perl v5 to work with Oracle (ex OraPerl)
Message-Id: <GF4qB7.x4w@alfalfa.utcs.utoronto.ca>
I'm running some Perl programs that access INGRES DB. We are currently
switching to an Oracle DB, rendering my IngPerl code a little useless. I
need to be able to find some kind of a DB extension (like OraPerl) that
would help me access the new Oracle DB using Perl v5. I have been able to
find one, (OraPerl) but it will not work with Perl v.5, which is what I'm
running.
Or perhaps there is some other program what would help me access an Oracle
DB with Perl v5.
Does anyone know where I can find such an extension
Any help is much appreciated

Subject: Newbie: Problems with Unicode::String
Message-Id: <20qritsu0nmgh31hicg4d2tusq3frge02s@4ax.com>
Dear NG,
I was using the tr/// operator to convert Latin-1 characters
to UTF-8; It worked great for a while, but then odd things
happened and I looked around for some alternatives; I heared about a
module called Unicode::String and downloaded it. I tried to convert
things like "Müller" or "Trüffel", but all I got was something like
"Mller" and "Trffel", the umlauts disappeared. Could anybody be so
kind and send me some example how to convert correctly between Latin-1
and UTF-8 with that Unicode::String module? Or does anybody know some
other way to solve this problem?
I'm using version 2.06 of the Unicode module and Perl 5.6.0.
Thanks in advance,
Oliver

use Unicode::String qw(latin1);
print latin1("Müller ißt Trüffel")->utf8;
Or in two steps:
use Unicode::String qw(latin1);
$string = latin1("Müller ißt Trüffel");
# $string is now a Unicode::String object
$string_in_utf8 = $string->utf8;
print $string_in_utf8;

It's the "Unicode::String" module, not the Unicode module.
> and Perl 5.6.0.
Above examples tested with Unicode::String version 2.06 and Perl 5.6.0,
so they should work for you.
Cheers,

Hi,
I am new on MS Win32 and I am looking for tools and scripting tools to work

Not directly, though you can write scripts in Perl that do similar
things. The Perl Power Tools project ( http://language.perl.com/ppt/ )
aims to produce pure-Perl replacements of such Unix tools; sadly, I
believe it is very slow to be updated.
According to http://language.perl.com/ppt/what.html , there are already
implementations for grep, wc, and ls.
Another option might be to download Cygwin, which provides ports of Unix
utilities to the Win32 environment, so you'd have a grep.exe, wc.exe,
and so on.
Cheers,
Philip

What a strange question. No, perl doesn't mimic Unix commands. Perl
built-in functions do behave roughly as they do on Unix, though.
If you want grep, tar, gzip, etc. command line utilities on Win32,
search for Cygwin. <http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin/>

It wants a proxy server.
Go to Control Panel - System - Environment
and set the variable HTTP_proxy to
http://PROXY.DOMAIN.COM:PORT,
substituting the capitalised part as needed.

Possibly IE caching the output of the script, and Netscape is not. From the
CGI.pm Documentation [1]:
print $query->header(-type=>'image/gif',
-status=>'402 Payment Required',
-expires=>'+3d',
-cookie=>$my_cookie,
-charset=>'UTF-7',
-attachment=>'foo.gif',
-Cost=>'$0.02');
-expires
Some browsers, such as Internet Explorer, cache the output of CGI scripts.
Others, such as Netscape Navigator do not. This leads to annoying and
inconsistent behavior when going from one browser to another. You can force
the behavior to be consistent by using the -expires parameter. When you
specify an absolute or relative expiration interval with this parameter,
browsers and proxy servers will cache the script's output until the
indicated expiration date. The following forms are all valid for the
-expires field:
+30s 30 seconds from now
+10m ten minutes from now
+1h one hour from now
-1d yesterday (i.e. "ASAP!")
now immediately
+3M in three months
+10y in ten years time
Thu, 25-Apr-1999 00:40:33 GMT at the indicated time & date
When you use -expires, the script also generates a correct time stamp for
the generated document to ensure that your clock and the browser's clock
agree. This allows you to create documents that are reliably cached for
short periods of time.

Yeah... bummer on how "Z*" works on unpack, isn't it. This works
instead:
foreach (map {(split /\0/)[1]} sort map { # rest is the same
And, of course, unlike unpack, split *does* default to $_. :)
