Do you usually cross-post ads for your editor to programming newsgroups?
Wouldn't it be more in keeping with the spirit and purpose of newsgroups
in general if you stayed in comp.editors?
Or is comp.editors really the right place to advertise either?

Hello all, I need to do this running on unix, and need to know if this is
possible to do in Perl and if someone can give me a push in the right
direction:
Automatically retrieve email attachments without starting the email program,
i.e. run a script from the command line that will do it for me, or even
automate it to run every hour. I only need to retrieve attachments if the
email has a certain subject line. <- I kinda know this part. I need to write
the attachments to disk. I really appreciate any direction you can give me.
Thanks.

You may want to investigate the HTML::Mason package, which lets you create
and embed reusable "bricks" that contain perl code or html, that can of
course be nested, very php-like. What you would do is implement your server
code as Mason components, then insert a <& header.mc &> (where header.mc is
your header component, which can be dynamic) in your back-end code
components or plain html components. Hope this helps --

O'Reilly's got a decent reference affectionately called the 'rhino book'
(or is it the hippo book? I never can remember). It's all about
Javascript. Likely any decent book on Javascript would be useful,
though, so don't limit yourself to O'Reilly.
Of course, Javascript does not equal Perl. See comp.lang.javascript for
better info on that language.

Subject: FAQ: How can I hide the source for my Perl program?
Message-Id: <7dA57.15$EW5.170731520@news.frii.net>
This message is one of several periodic postings to comp.lang.perl.misc
intended to make it easier for perl programmers to find answers to
common questions. The core of this message represents an excerpt
from the documentation provided with every Standard Distribution of
Perl.
+
How can I hide the source for my Perl program?
Delete it. :-) Seriously, there are a number of (mostly unsatisfactory)
solutions with varying levels of ``security''.
First of all, however, you *can't* take away read permission, because
the source code has to be readable in order to be compiled and
interpreted. (That doesn't mean that a CGI script's source is readable
by people on the web, though--only by people with access to the
filesystem.) So you have to leave the permissions at the socially
friendly 0755 level.
Some people regard this as a security problem. If your program does
insecure things and relies on people not knowing how to exploit those
insecurities, it is not secure. It is often possible for someone to
determine the insecure things and exploit them without viewing the
source. Security through obscurity, the name for hiding your bugs
instead of fixing them, is little security indeed.
You can try using encryption via source filters (Filter::* from CPAN),
but any decent programmer will be able to decrypt it. You can try using
the byte code compiler and interpreter described below, but the curious
might still be able to de-compile it. You can try using the native-code
compiler described below, but crackers might be able to disassemble it.
These pose varying degrees of difficulty to people wanting to get at
your code, but none can definitively conceal it (true of every language,
not just Perl).
If you're concerned about people profiting from your code, then the
bottom line is that nothing but a restrictive license will give you
legal security. License your software and pepper it with threatening
statements like ``This is unpublished proprietary software of XYZ Corp.
Your access to it does not give you permission to use it blah blah
blah.'' We are not lawyers, of course, so you should see a lawyer if you
want to be sure your license's wording will stand up in court.

Or another slight change and you can just include it and execute it
(maybe do some scoping changes):
$file_pattern = 'interface.*\.dat';
$compress_days = 15;
$notify = 'ekulis@apple.com';
$file_pattern = 'interface.*\.dat.Z';
$remove_days = 30;
$file_pattern = 'activity.*\.log';
$truncate_top = .50;
$file_pattern = 'vendor_request.\.dat';
$archive_days = 5;
$arcchive_dir = '../Archives';
$compress_archive = '';
@notify = ('opsmanager@apple.com', 'ekulis@apple.com');

I am not sure. But the ppm installation works the same as the download from
imagemagick.org only it's less to download and easier to install.

I'll stick with Jeff's version which is what works for me. I'd still be
curious to know why, on WinNT ActiveState, the following:
BEGIN {
if(eval "use Fcntl qw(:flock)") # no flock()
{
print "has flock: $@\n\n";
}
else
{
use Fcntl;
print "no flock: $@\n\n";
}
}
prints "no flock: " with nothing in $@. I certainly do have flock and
am able to use it.

Message-Id: <90E376A38JacquiCarenigcouk@195.8.69.73>
I am curious if anyone else has seen a pattern emerging
upon the perl jobs mailing list.
US based companies seem to use perl for serious business
critical systems whereas UK based vacancies imply 'toy'
web usage of perl/DBI. Also adverts from UK companies
lack that quality feel that the majority of US posters
seem to give out. I honestly wonder if any decent perl
folks even bother to reply to such badly structured
'desperate sounding' adverts.
My question is - are we the only people in the UK doing
serious business critical systems using perl as a core
development tool?
I know there are companies doing commercial web work
integrating database backends however we have to admit
that the general market is now tools oriented and the
bottom has dropped out of the market for large scale
bespoke web systems developments.
Note that I would like to qualify 'large scale' to cover
systems with project budgets in excess of 200K UKP using
commercial RDBMS backends etc.

Well maybe we are.
About 10 of us sat here writing developing business critical bespoke
applications using Perl and Oracle 8. ok Web Technologies used. High
security systems available to external users as well as internal.
I have to agree though some of the adverts for Perl jobs are really crap. Do
the agencies or even employers know what Perl is.
Anyway enough don't start me on that topic.
So no your not alone in the dark.

It's cargo-cult frowning though. There is, from a language aspect,
nothing wrong with using map in void context, except that an author of
some books started frowning and he's now followed. The only potential
problem lies in the implementation of Perl, perl. It's a bit slower that
it has to. This however has been known for many years, and it isn't slow
enough that anyone actually bothers to fix it.
Oh, and for those willing to bring up the issue "but you are ignoring
the return value of map and just relying on side effects", I'd like
to point out that ignoring return values in Perl is extremly common.
Regexes, substitutions, assignments and prints all have returns values,
and many of those return values are ignored. And noone whines about them.

Considering that he wants to write Perl code to parse the Javascript, that
doesn't sound like a good idea at all. Perl is a far better language than
Javascript for the sort of analysis the OP wants to do, and the fact that
the stuff being analyzed is Javascript code doesn't change that.

yes, there are many ways to upgrade your old version.
Remove the old one from your system and install the new one.

$_ is the default variable for many operations. Assembler programmers
would think of it as the accumulator register. Use it to temporarily
hold/manipulate a value.
For example, regexes, by default, search in $_. A bare
/$re/
is the same as
$_ =~ /$re/
but with less superfluous text.

Dear All,
Do you have an idea how can Perl handle files made by winzip. It seems
that all the modules available can only unzip files made by gzip etc.
Thanks a lot!

Archive::Zip should do what you want.

`` Not really. The 'require Exporter' is a bit of a historical thing,

use Exporter; will call Exporter::import() which will have some
impact. But your machine has to be quite slow for you to notice
the difference.
