it is not fucking, it is in the documentation. First install the
modules in your desired directory (using the LIB parameter for
Makefile.PL).
You may then extend @INC by setting the PERL5LIB environment
variable (export PERL5LIB=/first/add/inc/path:/second/add/inc/path
and so on).

I don't think it's actually a *fucking* variable. At least it's not
documented as such.

You can help yourself by looking in the wonderful documentation that
came with your Perl. Your question is answered in the FAQ:
"How do I keep my own module/library directory?"
You could have found it in 4 seconds by typing:
perldoc -q module
And hitting the SPACE bar a couple of times. Much faster than posting
to a newsgroup and waiting over 25 hours for a reply.
Cheers,
Bernard

Please see the entry for the @INC variable in the standard Perl
documentation file describing special variables (perlvar) or see the
answer to your question when it appears in the FAQ as "How do I keep
my own module/library directory?".
In general if you have a question about a Perl module/function/special
variable please see the documentation for that module/function/special
variable first.
If that doesn't help try the FAQ.
Only then should you post to Usenet.

Yes, either let your CGI-script run as root (this equals a bullet that
you shot yourself in your head, UNIXly speaking) or use sudo, a program
that allows users to execute programs under UID==0. sudo needs the user
password for that which can by passed via stdin using the -s switch.
One problem however: a webserver and the corresponding CGI-script most
often run as nobody or something alike and so aren't really
user-accounts. You, however, could create a special useraccount with
minimal privileges and configure sudo to allow certain root-commands for
this user.
By the way: This is highly off-topic. The term 'Perl' (or 'perl') did
not even occur once in your post.

Yes, but it's a terribly bad idea.
And your Perl question is?
Please ask CGI and HTTP server questions on one of the
comp.infosystems.www.* groups, and ask linux specific questions on a
linux group.

Yes, it's not difficult to do this at all. The code to implement a chat
facility, using Perl on the server and Javascript on the client, that
looks very similar to an instant messenger client is surprisingly
trivial. It doesn't require socket programming since all the data is
transferred via HTTP in the same way as standard Web pages. I wrote such
a system a few months ago for a dating agency and it has worked fairly
faultlessly ever since. Basically chat messages are placed in a
temporary file on the server and fetched at regular intervals by the
client. I tried at first to achieve real-time chat by having a wait loop
on the server that delivered chat to a waiting frame on the browser the
moment it arrived, but that caused a lot of problems and I replaced it
with a 15-second timed fetch loop on the client. In practice most users
are unaware of the delay.

Subject: Fastest way to eliminate words < 4 characters long except month abbreviations?
Message-Id: <null-2211010040020001@user161.lwpw-01.cwia.com>
I wrote a search engine script which only indexes words of 4 characters or
more or the 3 character month abbreviation of the time stamp in order to
reduce the size of the index. For simplicity the script only returns
results which match all search terms. Because of the last feature I have
to remove all search terms of 3 characters or less excepting monthly
abbreviations or that search will not return any results. I am currently
using this regex to accomplish this:
@searchterms = ($userinput =~
m/\w{4,}|\d+|jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec/g);
My impression as a perl newbie is that regex's are very slow and I suspect
that this particular regex is extremely slow. The only other way of doing
this that I can think of is to use a foreach loop to search through every
month and I have no idea if this would actually be faster. Any advice on
which of the two methods I have mentioned is fastest or describing a third
and faster method would be appreciated.

That's no reason to recommend it to others. It is *not* the standard
method of dealing with files. It is only reasonable under two conditions:
a) There must be an advantage over line-wise reading.
b) The files to be read must be small enough to fit into memory in
all anticipated applications of the program.
In this case, there is no advantage at all, and we know nothing about
the intended applications. So file slurping is wrong.

Hi,
thanks a lot for the response. I've tried with both stripping and
non-stripping the prefix in the file path. It didn't work. The exact
problem is as follows:
We are trying to upload files(from a local machine) to a remote
server. Note that the application's code is on a unix server, and the
files are NOT uploaded to the same server, BUT to a different server.
In the process of uploading, after we do the uploading, we are trying
to calculate the size of the file (by '$filesize = -s \*$file'
command), so that if it zero, to throw an error.
But the above command gives the no. of bytes in the file, when we run
that from NN, while it's returning "" when we run it from IE. All the
options of viz. -s, -e, -r are also returning "" in IE (so, I
understand, it's not able to recognize the file itself, as the -e
option itself returns ""). Is this some security issue with IE, as
it's trying to find the size of the file which is on a different
server? If you have some idea, pls. explain...
Thanks,
Santosh.

I can second that, but I also recommend keeping a
directory with all your tests, giving them mnemonic
names. They surprisingly often come in handy later
for real things.

I did not say that the services on the remote machines are Perl-based.
Sorry if I confused you, in my original posting I just showed a simple
test script (the second one) which I ran on several remotes
- in the meantime from other remotes different telnet sessions were
started towards the "host" -
to check if my approach is correct. Well, it has been correct so far.
> You said """Since the NMS application on all 20 NT machines is

In fact, the services on the remotes are part of our proprietary telecom
NMS. They may be approached via a standard Telnet connection to obtain
the necessary alarm info - this is what I try to automate - and I may
not modify them.
Chris mentioned the Expect module or Net::Telnet. I will look at the
first one. I tried Net::Telnet but I could not figure out how to set up
this type of connection as well.

least on google etc trying to find an answer.)
And doing a strace bin/httpd -X reveals:

Where does Constants.so fit in ? Its not compiled up with mod-perl distribution

There may be an OS-specific way for NT, alternatively you could use a
pure Perl implementation of the DNS client. You can find one in the
usual place (see FAQ "What modules and extensions are available for
Perl?...")

So the user can only run scripts provided by the server admins, he
can't install his own. In that case he's onto a looser. Perhaps you
are really trying to ask "How do I keep my own module/library
directory?"

I don't understand. What language are you writing those GCI scripts
in? Python? Java? Bourne shell? If you have been writing CGI
scripts in some other langauage what relevance does this information
have to the matter in hand?

Arrghhh....
I said I was new to this but why didn't I think of that....? It just
didn't occur to me that the damn thing could be running differing
versions of perl, I didn't even know I had two versions of the thing!
I thought I'd upgraded rather than done a seperate install.
So yes.... Thank you for your help with this, it now works perfectly.

You question does not make much sense.
If you don't use CGI.pm (probably a bad idea;-) why would you need the
functionality provided by a method that operates on the internal state
of a CGI object?

If you're not using CGI.pm, you should be.
Don't try to reinvent the wheel. It's a bumpy
ride and everybody passes you on the freeway.

Subject: Thread Question
Message-Id: <9tibq7$2d9h$1@news.idiom.com>
I know that threads (both the 5.005 and 5.6 versions) are considered
experimental and unstable, but I have a project that's such a perfect
candidate (a distributed state-based build system that will run
primarly under Solaris but also include other Unixen and NT/W2K) and I
really don't want to use the old fork/signal methods if I can "get
away" with using threads.
So my question is, do people who use Perl to do real work actually use
threaded Perl in it's current state, and if so, can someone please
point me to some working "cookbook" examples to help me get going?
Thanks, as always.
PS: I actually asked a similar question here about five years ago and
the answer was "threads are coming, be patient". *grin*
PPS: If the answer is still "no", any pointers at all would be
appreciated, as long as they don't involve writing a full-blown
threaded daemon in C++ because I sure as hell ain't going there.
Thanks.

Wait... 'my $x = 2' is going to touch the array?
^^
Maybe there was a typing mistake after all... ;)

No one lets you run perl scripts for free. Deal with it.

Subject: XML::Parser, DBI and unicode
Message-Id: <%z4L7.2819$N77.25097@news.world-online.no>
Hi!
I have data in an XML file that I'm inserting in an mysql database using
DBI. The problem is that one field has to be in latin1 and not in unicode.
I use Unicode::String to convert to latin.
my $u = Unicode::String::utf8($line_from_xml);
when I 'print $u->latin1;' it displays correctly but when I insert in mysql
it doesn't. the chars (for example é) are show as two byte's. Thats is
not what I want.
my $sql = "INSERT INTO tbl_name (col) VALUES
(".$dbh->qoute($line_from_xml).")";
my $u = Unicode::String::utf8($sql);
$dbh->do($u->latin1);
I wonder why 'print $u->latin1' works and not '$dbh->do($u->latin1)'???
