HTML::Parser is not *more sophisticated* than LWP Simple.
It has a completely different purpose. LWP::Simple fetches
documents over the internet, HTML::Parser parses them
afterwards. Apples and oranges. They are often used
together, of course.

Then you could embed the HTML files within others and serve via mod_perl?

Well, that would be:

s{^/\*(# define QE_MAC_GCC310)\*/}{$1}g;
s{^(# define QE_MAC_CW83_102)}{/* $1 */}g;
But a real script would be much more verbose/readable :-).
Note that this will fail if the comments go over more than

/ and * are special characters in regular expressions and must be escaped
using a \. Below is my code corrected for your new specification. If you
prefer the oneliner, you can easily figure out what to change by examining
below. I don't know VB, but coming from a C background #<space>define looks
funny. Are you sure there is always exactly one space between the # and the
define? Are you sure your tokens are never defined to a specific value?
Both will break the code below. Both are easy fixes given a good
definition.
use strict;
use warnings;
open FILE, $ARGV[0] or die "Could not open file $ARGV[0]: $!\n";
while (<FILE>)
{
s/^\/\*\s*(# define QE_MAC_GCC310)\s*\*\//$1/;
s/^(\s*# define QE_MAC_CW83_102)/\/\*$1\*\//;
print $_;
}

HI, Susan
perl -i.bak -ple 's/^# (define USE_THIS)/$1/g;s/^(define OLD_USE_THIS)/\/\*#
$1\*\//g' ivtest.vb
I added C style comment.
> > > Then it has to find the define OLD_USE_THIS and comment out this line
by adding a #.
yes. I know what u mean. You wanted to find "#define OLD_USE_THIS" not
"define OLD_USE_THIS". And you want to comment it out that line by adding
"/* */". But you said "by adding a #". I think you meant that "#define
OLD_USE_THIS" was lack of "#" character in the head the phrase so that you
wanted to add "#" and comment out the "#" & "define OLD_USE_THIS" combined
phrase by surrounding with "/* */" (C style comment characters). -Hyungjin

I made perl code which calculate characters pixel width and insert spaces or

works well except a few problems those I'm fixing.

That's nice, but it has nothing to do with whether your question
was a Perl question or not.

I did not give any opinions.
I gave only a fact.
Your question was not about Perl.

At the top of these threads, I wrote:
> in <table> tag, style="word-break:break-all;" command doesn't work in
mozilla & netscape. what's wrong?
No, this is not what I exactly want to know. But I thought I would be happy
if I recieved any information on the reason why mozilla & navigator does not
support word-break properties and what makes them from patching it.
Anyway, I wrote subsequently:
> any solution for this?
Yes, this is what I wanted to know. Following the above line, I exemplified
my effort to solve such an incapable word-break in mozilla & navigator.
I exemplified my trifle source code with an additional problem in the code:
> (ps: I tried the following:

s/([^\s][^\s][^\s][^\s][^\s][^\s][^\s][^\s][^\s][^\s][^\s][^\s][^\s][^\s][^\

> no utf8;
> as you see, it's failed when I use #comment7 rather than #comment8.
> thanks in advance!
Now I cleared up the above source code by myself. ( #comment7 is not valid
in CJK chars of utf8)
In addition, for text-like urls to convert into anchor and non-spacing long
phrase were all cleared.
Though I resolved the problem myself, I still want to know whether someone
already made cool script to make word-break availble in mozilla & navigator.
If I troubled you by making obscure question, I'm sorry. - Hyungjin

But my 'cool script' was written in PHP.. so your point being?
'cool script' has no reference to _ANY_ language whatsoever, unless

Because symrefs don't work on 'my' variables.
my @A = (1,2);
push @{ "A" }, 3;
print "my => @A\n";
print "global => @::A\n";
Probably the easiest thing would be to switch to real
references and forget about local() for a while.
my %hash = ( A => [1,2] );
push @{$hash{A}}, 3;
print "A => @{$hash{A}}\n";

You can look up the symrefs in
$ perldoc perlref
But you're probably better off continuing to ignore them.

Subject: Perl Service App?
Message-Id: <Xns92D261EE4682Ethisismyidtoken@195.92.193.157>
Hi,
I want to run some code once every 30 or 60 seconds ish to do a bit of
work on a Linux machine.
I know I can use CRON to launch my program but is there another way to
have the program run permanently in the background, just waking up
periodically to do its job?
The Linux machine in question is my ISP's and so I don't think they'll
take too kindly to either:
a) Using cron to launch a program every 60 seconds on a shared server
or
b) Having me running a program permanently on a shared server. Presumably
they'll auto-kill programs that persist for too long won't they?
Many thanks in advance,

Why not set up a perl script on a home machine, using the LWP module, to
call your script periodically.

If you actually manage to compile a working executable
with perlcc, let alone include modules, you get a big
prize.
Has anyone ever managed to get that thing to work?

Subject: Sending NumKeys with Win32::GuiTest
Message-Id: <arvaf9$33c$1@news01.intel.com>
I can sort of get what I want using Win32::GuiTest
But there's this VAX program that requires me to
send the Num key numbers on the far right of the key
board not the ones above QWERTY - how
can I do that?
Using GuiTest is fine otherwise, but I must say I
don't like using sleep to wait for the correct screen
to appear. This VAX based program that I'm trying to
automate relies on network connectivity, so
depending on bandwidth consumption the screen
changes can be longer than the sleep period I set.
Is there anything available that would allow me to
write the contents of the VAX output screen to the
screen and a variable that I could run a m/// on?
Thanks,
Just in

I find that very hard to believe. I just installed and
tested Lingua::EN::Sentence and it works just fine.
How can a Perl module crash your computer, even something
as fragile as Win98? Which part crashes? Downloading,
installing or running? How are you downloading, installing
and running it?
The source code of Lingua::EN::Sentence seems perfectly
straightforward, simple Perl. For the life of me I fail to
see how its use could crash any OS.

Wow, I hope Stefan is patient. He posted his question (in
comp.protocols.snmp)in august and had his first reply only in
november, and not a particularly informative reply at that!
I had to investigate the same question, and in case anyone else also
needs
the info (or Stefan is still wondering ;) these are my conclusions:
There are three CPAN Perl modules that cover SNMP, to varying degrees:
* Net::SNMP by David Town
Pure Perl; protocol only (doesn't do MIB files);
doesn't do trap receives, hence can't be used as a trap daemon
* SNMP_Session by Simon Leinen
Pure Perl again; supposed to do trap receives, but when I tried
using it, it failed to parse a v2c header of a trap that the
Net-SNMP 'snmptrapd' utilitity was able to read.
* SNMP by Joe Marzot
Sits on top of the Net-SNMP library; seems to me like the most
complete Perl implementation (An advantage of installing
Net-SNMP
is the utilities that come with it and can be used for
simulation
and testing; but of course using pure Perl packages also has its
advantages for an app to be used on other systems.)
Actually, I am currently writing an app that uses Joe M's SNMP package
to receive traps.
At the moment it is obstinately refusing to receive traps, despite the
fact that I'm certain the code is correct (it follows almost
identically
the Perl example in net-snmp-5.0.5/perl/SNMP/examples/SNMP/trap-example.pl)
and again 'snmptrapd' picks up the same traps I'm firing at the code.
I can only assume that my perl trap daemon is picking up a different
and inappropriate SNMP config file, and am about to investigate this.
But all suggestions (and further Perl module info) will be gratefully
received!
Cheers
