Just another vote of the OO IF. All of my CGIs that use CGI.pm start
like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
As Ilya says, I don't really use the HTML generation functions. A major
argument for OO is I don't have to worry about what :tags to import in
my use statement. If I have my CGI object, it's all right there, and it
won't clog up my namespaces (another important point).

I prefer non-oo because "param('name')" does not require any munging if
used within an html template, unlike "$cgi->param('name')" which often
does (need to be munged).
If you wanted to track more than one query then that would be a good
reason to use the OO syntax.
For example I could imagine using two cgi objects to keep clearly seperate
incoming and outgoing parameters, or I could imagine wanting to access
both the "current" query and also a "previous" query. (I could imagine
this, but haven't used it so myself.)
Or if you wish to use CGI as the base class for your own CGI handler
routines then the OO syntax would be what you wanted.

One more reason to avoid C-style for loops in Perl. :-)
for my $fish (1 .. $n-1) {
$schoolmates{$fish} = [];
}
(Is that <= a bug, BTW? Should last fish by number $n or $n-1?)
It also occurs to me that you're needlessly duplicating information.
You already have lists of the fish in each group, so you could just
store the group number for each fish.

At you UNIX prompt (as root) type:

When you are prompted to install dependent modules, type "yes".

I am confused.
You've found /bin/sh, which is a link to /bin/bash. But when Perl is
using /bin/sh, you are complaining it's using something you cannot
find yourself. What's up? A sub nanosecond attention span?

I think there a couple fork managers out there on CPAN (search.cpan.org).

][ When you fork, keep track of the pid that gets allocated.
And when you reap a child, remove the pid from your datastructure.

First of all, you're working to hard. There's no need for the match AND
the substitution. Just the substitution is enough. If nothing is found,
nothing happens.
And second, for me, the reduced version works.
$_ = "Bij de bakker en niet bij de kapper.\n";
s/(^| |\.)(B|b)ij(\n| |\.)/ /g;
print;
-->
de bakker en niet de kapper.
I'm not sure if you copy/pasted the code correctly, because it seems to
be working fine.

Bellony. He's using /^/ in alternatives, and he wants it to match
- at the beginning of the string, or
- after a space, or
- after a dot.
That's what it does.

If you prefer an OO solution:
my $sao = Set::Array->new(qw(1 2 3 4 undef undef undef));
my $index = $sao->index('undef') -1;
print "Index was: $index\n"; # prints 3
or, as a one-liner:
print "Index was: ", Set::Array->new(qw(1 2 3 4 undef undef

WOW... That was about the rudest response to an honest question I've
heard in quite a while. gee.. I'm sure glad I came to THIS newsgroup.
I thought PERHAPS there was some TRICK to examining the script. I
used a similar one to grab the variable names from the script by
sending through bogus info. However, YOU in your desire to look
intelligent, failed to even address the question. Way to look smart.
I mean... geez..I'm a PERL novice and even *I* managed to get some
information out of the script without accessing it... I thought maybe
a self-proclaimed PERL god like yourself might have a LITTLE more to
offer than someone who has been working with PERL for a week or so.

Martien,
Thanks for the quick reply. I was reluctant to contact them because
they give so little info in their documentation.. it was almost like
it should be SO obvious. I felt a little foolish logging a support
request if there was something I might be missing.
I'll contact them on this.
Thanks again!

I hope you have a flame retardant suit on. So after a week of working
with Perl (note the case, many are very sensitive about it) you're a
novice... Impressive.
Further I prefer nobull's posts greatly over yours. Heck, I prefer
nobull's responses to post like yours! Anyway, Andrea, your question
wasn't really Perl (case!) related. At best it was:
How can I get at source code?
anylou... good luck in your endevors.
PS - If that post upset you lurk for a while here, that was a nice

I am trying to substitute a blank space for the string
"/* unconnected */" (the target string is w/o quotes). I can
eliminate the "* unconnected *" portion but can get rid of the
slashes. I have searched my perl pbbok to no avail though it was late
last night so who knows. Can someone give me some help. I am sure I'll
go "doooohhhhh!!!" once I see the answer
Thanks in advance
