Inspired by the Anders Hejlsberg's presentation (when c# launched) and =
feeling somehow sad about MS Notepad, I decided to write my own =
programmer notepad, called Total Notepad. If anyone is interested in a =
free, small footprint, super fast and professional source beautifier (c, =
c++, java and c#!) plus editor with publishing capabilities (html and =
rtf exports), syntax coloring for about 22 languages (including c, c++, =
java, c#, vb, delphi, fortran, cobol, perl, python, tc/tkl and more.) =
plus color printing, well, you can find it at =
www.danmarinescu.com/totalnotepad/
Perfect complement for free .net framework, java framework, gcc and bcc =
(free set of gnu compilers). Hey, hey, hey, like I said, it's FREE! =
(under GNU) - I am NOT trying to sell you anything. This is simply the =
perfect tool for real programmers, students, whoever wants to get the =
job done fast, clean and without paying big bucks for super huge tools =
doing anything but you want them to do here and now. :-)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------
Please compare the following list of features with your programming =
tool.=20
=20
a.. Price
a.. Zero Dollars
b.. Editor
a.. File size: unlimited
b.. Max number of bookmarks per file: 10
c.. Smart bookmarks (new technology): yes! (No other ides have it) =
When you set up a bookmark, you do NOT have to specify the bookmark id. =
Also, when you want to go to a bookmark, you are actually shown the =
book-marked line, instead of the bookmark's id! This is super cool =
(makes your life much easier).
d.. Line numbering: yes
e.. Selection modes: 3 (note that other editors have only 1!) the =
tree selection modes are (1) complete lines, (2) regular, (3) columns =
with full drag and drop capabilities.
f.. Scalable fonts: yes
g.. Internet Explorer style full screen mode: yes
h.. HTML and RTF super fast accurate exports: yes
i.. Language independent Brackets matching: yes
j.. Syntax coloring for 22 languages (the full list includes, ansi =
c, ansi c++, c#, java, visual basic (including oop features of vb .net), =
delphi / object pascal, standard pascal, fortran, cobol, perl, python, =
java script, vb script, html, xml (any flavor, including xml, wsdl, xsd, =
xsl, xslt, dtd), php, tcl/tk, foxpro (prg), ansi sql, pl sql, transact =
sql, idl and, of course, html and assembly!
k.. Extra formats supported: Borland forms (dfm & xfm) and windows =
INIs.
l.. Beautifier UNDO (unlimited undos and redos).
m.. Cross platform capabilities (works excellent with both Windows =
and UNIX files).
n.. Tones of new useful short-cats
o.. Coloring scheme: MS Developer Studio (& .NET) Extended =
(different color for numbers, strings, symbols).
p.. Just in time instantiation (start at line number) - for easy =
integration with external ide-s, programming tools
q.. Internet Explorer Full Screen mode: yes (still, same F11).
c.. Beautifier
a.. Simple, easy to use, standard front end (gui)
b.. Over 20 professional options for formatting your source code
c.. Styles! (new concept, super easy to use).
d.. Supports the following languages, k&r c, ansi c (both 89 and =
99), ansi c++, java and c#.
e.. Invokable from the command line (from outside the ide): yes.
f.. Now, about performance: imagine a very complex c++ file (around =
10,000 lines). To beautify something like that. well, on a regular =
machine (under 2GHz) you may need. under 3 seconds! So, it's very fast!
g.. Super fine tuning for formatting options.
d.. Publisher
a.. HTML export (super fast, over 10,000 / second! Regular 7200 rpm =
WD HDD)
b.. RTF export (super fast, over 9,000 / second! Regular 7200 rpm WD =
HDD)
c.. Combined with the editor and the beautifier, this is closing the =
circle! You can create, maintain, beautify/standardize and publish your =
work at ease.
e.. Integrated command line prompt
a.. Sometimes, you need to access the command interpreter (this =
case, cmd). It is nice to do that from inside the IDE. Well, we did =
provide that.
b.. This comes very handy, as you will normally use it with .net =
framework, or gcc or bcc (borland free command line compiler).=20
c.. This makes sense from a programmer point of view.

Actually, I hadn't really thought about doing that. But thats an idea.
What I really have to do though is deliver our flavor of Perl. It is very
convenient to have the source on site if there are any tweaks that need
attending and we have many scripts.
Thank you for your response.

each data set gets one color. i don't think you can use GDGraph
to do what you're trying to do.

Subject: invoking script as perl <scriptname> vs. ./scriptname (with sciptname x perms)
Message-Id: <e9b08c9f.0211262059.3ed85891@posting.google.com>
Why is the behaviour different when I run my script as perl
<scriptname>
as opposed to doing a chmod +x then running ./scriptname. In the
former case I
have no problems with @INC, while in the latter some of my includes
aren't found in @INC. From what I understand I'd have to recompile
Perl to get @INC changed, so I'm currently using a workaround of just
calling my scripts via perl <scriptname>. Why the difference in
behaviour?
Thanks,
Matt

The most efficient way for me is this:
$highkey = (sort {$hash{$a} <=> $hash{$b}} keys %hash)[-1];
The computer may find this more efficient:
keys %hash; #reset iterator just in case.
my ($highkey, $highvalue) = each %hash;
while (my ($key,$value)=each %hash) {
($highkey,$highvalue)=($key,value) if $value>$highvalue;
};
All code untested.
