I was looking for glob(). But it seems that glob method are heavier and
slower compare with a regex one (for my particular need). So i will try
both (nice snippet !).

There is a fundamental difference between expressiing an algorithm using
a regex and expressing an algorithm using a builtin function. The
approach one adopts using split will be markedly different from that
adopted when using a regex approach. But, clearly you understood that,
as shown by your insightful analysis.
In fact, I'm absolutely sure you know the difference, as is clear by all
postings attibuted to you. Although it is entirely possible that all
postings attributed by you may not be posted by you at all.
Yes, split *does* use a pattern. The end result is a list of strings
that are delimited by this pattern. The use of parentheses extends this
tokenising further enabling the astute programmer to obtain a ready to
use list of tokens to operate on in an single pass. But, as I said, you
already knew that.

Yes, it is possible to do what you wish with a Perl script. As this is not
really an issue with Perl, you may wish to pursue this on comp.txt.pdf.
The forms at http://segraves.tripod.com use Perl scripts hosted at Tripod to
convert form data into FDF format, so the data can be saved for later use.
If you submit a blank form, the returned FDF will show you the required
format for FDF.
Experts on this NG may recommend you use CGI.pm. For forms data processing
to produce FDFs, you'll find you need to augment CGI.pm with a few methods
it lacks. I do this with added subroutines or my own FDF.lib, all of which
are written in Perl.

Have you looked at CPAN? <http://search.cpan.org> If you have to
modify or write a module, consider contibuting your code so others can
use it. The details of the PDF format are off-topic for this group.

It works fine on FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE but does wierd and unexplainable things
on Solaris 8. If I move the print out of child_process and put it in the
elsif it goes really wacky and refuses to terminate. I re-compiled my perl
on solaris with useperlio=defined and the problem is still there.
Hum... I'd say you caught a bug.

Depending on your explicit needs, one of the following may suffice:
my $num_words = () = $string =~ /\w+/g;
my $num_words = () = $string =~ /\S+/g;
From your description, I expect the second will work better.

Care to wager on that? The memory allocated to $x is not freed when
the block exits, and it is never "reclaimed" by perl for any other
purpose. And because of constant folding, which is documented in
perlop, the same is true for the RHS of the "=" operator as well. The
only way to prevent the RHS here from devouring RAM is to wrap it in
an eval q{} statement.
In this situation, perl is optimized to make a fast re-execution of
the block. It typically doesn't yield resources allocated to (the pad
of) that block until the program exits.
Getting back to OP's question, there's not much anyone can say about
why a particular program is chewing up ram without actually seeing
the program. There are lots of development tools (Devel::* on CPAN)
that might help, but OP hasn't given enough details to suggest which
one he might need to use.

I've been curious about this. M$ has condemned many Open Source
software projects as "potentially viral" (Google for it, if you haven't
heard). So if Microsoft hates (read: is threatened by) Perl so much,
why do they support Perl.NET, not to mention ActiveState's Visual Perl?
Or, since ActivePerl isn't under the Artistic License, does that make it
sufficiently "embraced and extended?"
Just wondering.

I just came across the same peculiarity myself. For some reason, Cygwin
Perl fails to strip the \r on input, yet it adds one on output. Very
inconsistent. binmode() may help; I haven't tried that yet.
I simply shrugged and attributed the lack of \r stripping on input
to Cygwin's attempt to provide a very Unix-ish environment. But then
it shouldn't add anything on output either.
ActiveState Perl on the same machine handles this correctly, in text
or binary mode.

I suspected as much. I know little about Cygwin, so this is the first I heard
of binmode(). I haven't figured out how to just enable this globally, but did
discover I can type 'mount' to find a directory mounted as 'binary'. I copied
my files there and re-ran the script. Works fine.

That's what I'll do, too.

This is broke. It is perfectly legal HTML to have
<b

<li

and so on. Maybe not the usual kind, but legal nonetheless. So,
forgetting all the other issues that may arise while attempting to
process markup, it might be better to write something like
$foo =~ s/<(b[^>]*)>\s*<(li[^>]*)>/<$2><$1>/;
Also, is there, possibly, an imperative to alter the order of the
closing tags? If so, maybe something like this
$foo =~ s/<(/?b[^>]*)>\s*<(/?li[^>]*)>/<$2><$1>/;
There are several HTML::... modules which will do a far more effective
job than using a simple regex.

It's strange how these FAQ's seem to come in groups. One week it's email
address validation, the next it is password encryption, the next hiding
source code and now duplicates and unique seem to be flavour of the week.
What will it be next week? Perhaps whatever the auto FAQ will post in the
middle of the week?
BTW, perldoc -q duplicate

I stand corrected. =) Before I happen to stuff my foot in my mouth
again, do they also have hard links?
We know that Win9x supports a poor-man's symlink with MyFilename.lnk
(which unfortunately carried over into KDE as .kdelnk).
And you're saying that WinNT has symlink on NTFS.
Does any current Windows platform support hard links? If so, I assume
it's only on NTFS, right?
Thx
Tim
