Hi all
perldoc for 'system' command says
"If there are no shell metacharacters in the argument,
it is split into words and passed directly to
`execvp', which is more efficient. "
Would appreciate if anybody can throw light on
`execvp'.
TIA

That is discussing the internals of how Perl actually goes about
running the program you've given it.
The execvp(3) system call is what Perl is using to launch the argument
you have given it. It launches a program directly, rather than
using the shell to do so.
If there are shell metacharacters, like >, <, or | in the argument,
Perl uses the system call system(3). That is, the C program that is
Perl uses a C library call which is also called "system". That call
uses a copy of the shell to start the command line given as the
argument.
Perl will use execvp(3) if it possibly can. It is faster and has
less other system overhead than system. However, if it needs the
extra capabilities the shell would add - mostly redirecton, but
there's several things it does - then it uses system(3) instead.
Confusing that the Perl function system has the same name as the
C library call system(3).
("What," you ask, "are those numbers in parenthesis after those
words?" Those are the section in the Unix manual pages that the
command can be found. If you type: "man 3 system" you will get
the documentation from the right part of the manuals, rather than
the several entries you might otherwise get. See the man page
for man(1) which should have a list of what those numbers mean.)
Hope I helped more than I confused.

Hi,
How do I remove unicode(?) characters using perl?
Example:
It looks like this on pico:
¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡¨¡
but like this on vi (but the cursors only points to "\" character):
050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041\050\041

Message-Id: <3bda6d68$0$9629@echo-01.iinet.net.au>
Hi all, I am a Perl newbie and I am having troubles getting programs to work
with modules.
What I want to do is use write a Perl program which uses Net::FTP and Curses
to produce a window drive ftp client. I am using "Perl in a Nutshell" and
"Programming Perl" as guides.
The following code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Net::FTP;
Causes the following error:
Can't locate Net/FTP.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at ./ftp.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./ftp.pl line 3.
I have run "perl -MCPAN -e shell" and done "install Net::FTP" and even
"force install Net::FTP" and CPAN tells me that Net::FTP is up to date.
This happens with all modules I try and include.
I'm guessing that I am doing something really stupid here but I can't figure
out what.
Please help

Do a locate FTP.pm to find out whether FTP.pm is what is in your expected path.

Is it OK to post newbie questions to this group?
Even if they are really obivious to some of you more experience programmers?
I've just started learning Perl, and rely on some of our friendly tech's at
work for the majority of problems I hit (which are quite a few - but I do
learn from them.)
I'm currently working on producing a content management system (for a Web
site) in Perl, which I felt would give me enough variety to get a good grip
on the language. I've already hit some major problems which I didn't
foresee when I design the application (is a collection of scripts an
application?) but it's been tremendous fun, and I get a real sense of pride
when I figure something out :o)
As a starting point, I wondered whether anyone could recommend some sites
for looking for help - preferably sites that have lots of practical examples
(I'm a visual learner.)
Best regards
Ex.

That's good since I think Perl is a visual language (not in the sense of
point-and-click though).
You may have a look at the mentioned tutorials somewhere on
http://www.perl.com . Probably a lot will deal with CGI, obviously your
project falls into this domain.
Yes, the best place to start with is the documentation that comes with
Perl. Try 'perldoc perldoc' to get an introduction to it and a list of
the available manpages.
Other things ultimately useful:
'perldoc -f perl_function_that_you_want_to_know_more_about'
'perldoc -q KEYWORD' where keyword is a word that might show up in one
of the many Perl-FAQs. That's also important for this group here since
you are expected to search the FAQs before you post here.
Modules you are using also have manpages: 'perldoc Module::Name'. They
usually contain the SYNOPSIS-part where short examples of usage are to
be found.

I'm relatively new to Perl but I think use strict and use warnings
go along way in preventing those 'dirty things'. And a documented
coding style to follow.

This is my problem:
The input to my program would be a url. It can be assumed that the url
would be for a web page. Now i have to make sure that this url is
absolute:
1. If i have just one word string as input i need to add 'http://www' as
prefix and '.com' as suffix.
2. If i do have 'http://' prefix and no suffix then add '.com' to the end
and vice-versa.
3. Check whether the syntax of url is proper, if not correct it.
Any suggestions?

Look at the URI and URI::Heuristic modules from CPAN. They should do
most of what you want. See http://search.cpan.org/search?module=URI .

Thanks for your reply. Now i have another question. I read the manpage
for the module and came across URL_GUESS_PATTERN. I could not find how to
actually use it. The way it is given in the manpage doesn't help me. Any
suggestions?

so that implies that $b in the former case IS interpolated.

that is the point of the above. a plain s/// does
interpolate. internally it really is s//""/e. the replacement is a
double quotish string which always means interpolation. in fact the
regex side also interpolates which you already know.

yes.

that makes sense now. the /e is like a block eval with the code parsed
at compile time. the /e just does another eval on the string result of
that block eval.

AFAIK, NT supports hard links on NTFS (didn't know about the symlinks
thingy). However, IIRC there are weird restrictions such as the user
must have the "backup" right or only works in the POSIX subsystem but
not the Win32 (GUI) subsystem, whatever that means. Don't ask me about
the details.
Followup to where?
Cheers,
Philip
