I spent some time researching these sites and this page is the results of
that research. This information will aid anybody in web design/development.
I am not selling anything - I just want
to share this information. I found alot of sites that were a waste of time
and this collection of links is the best of what I found available. I hope
it benefits all.
Thanks.

comp.lang.perl is a non-existant newsgroup.
It was rmgroup'd many years ago.

What makes you think I havnt been doing that?!?! Do you think I would
be asking the question if the documentation told me what to do and I
couldnt find an existing post/web site that explained what to do?
I set up perl on IIs with no problems after two tweaks I found in a
newsgroup posting. The apache windows documentation is not very good.

Okay - I'll give that a go. Thanks for some helpful advice even if you
did manage to patronise me in the process.

Do you mean tweaking your attitude? Your sentences above motivated the
comment. Seriously, all of my comments are aimed at helping you to get more
productive responses in this newsgroup.
No offense was intended.

If you're a beginner with Perl, it is understandable that you might not know
initially what questions to ask. That's why you should start with the
posting guidelines *before* posting to this newsgroup. If it's evident from
your approach that you haven't followed the guidelines, you'll get terse,
but not ugly, responses from some of the participants.
You'll only diminish yourself if you respond angrily to a response that
doesn't meet your
acceptance criteria. Imagine the pride your parents will experience when
they see the results of a Google Groups search for "Stew Dean Perl Apache
pedantic" and I think you'll see my point.

Good! I hope you found said posting via a google or google groups search.
Google can be very helpful to you.

That's off-topic for this newsgroup. Why not try www.apache.org (as
suggested by HB)?

As I wrote earlier, no offense was intended. FWIW, installation of
IndigoPerl on my son's XP Pro system was a no-brainer, i.e., install it and
it works.

gives you:

Execution of - aborted due to compilation errors.
Running it on the command-line is the simplest test.

You seem to want to append a ZKL###### file to a ZKG###### file
where the '######' of each file matches, but you don't make sure each
file has a mate, you just assume that it exists, which is probably not a
good thing to assume (no matter how sure you are that it does exist, you
will be sorry when it doesn't). It might be better if you did something like
this:
use File::Copy;
while (my $file = glob("ZKL*.ARC')) {
$file =~ /^ZKL(\d+).ARC/ or warn("Bad filename $file"), next;
open(OUT, ">>ZKG$1.ARC) or warn("Error opening ZKG$1.ARC: $!"), next;
copy($file, \*OUT) or warn("Error copying $file: $!"), next;
close OUT;
}

Subject: Line delimiters in Win32 Perl
Message-Id: <5e0d3eda.0212220902.3e0a922d@posting.google.com>
Hello:
I have run into an anomaly that I am seeking some explanation of in
Win32 perl. I am writing a service that reads in a file. This could
be a Unix or windows file. The lines in the Unix file will be
terminated by \n (OA) and the lines in the windows file are delimited
by \r\n (0D 0A). I use chomp to rip the delimiter from the line and I
noticed that it is removes the \n from the first file as expected, but
it also hack off \r\n from the second file. This is confusing. I
append a \n to the end of the line and when I view the file in hex the
lines are delimited by \r\n. Does anyone have any input on this
behavior? Do I need to set a property in Perl to modify this behavior?
Thanks,
Tom

Those are NOT equivalent.
\n is a _logical_ "end of line".
ASCII OA is a physical "end of line" on _some OSes_.

For "text" files, CR-LF is translated to \n by Perl's input routines,
and \n to CR-LF in the output routines (if on Windows).
Treat the files as "binary" rather than "text" files to get
more precise control of line ending sequences.
perldoc -f binmode
This includes turning off possible CRLF translation
...
On some systems (in general, DOS and Windows-based
systems) binmode() is necessary when you're not
working with a text file.
...
The operating system, device drivers, C libraries,
and Perl run-time system all work together to let
the programmer treat a single character ("\n") as
the line terminator, irrespective of the external
representation. On many operating systems, the
native text file representation matches the inter
nal representation, but on some platforms the
external representation of "\n" is made up of more
than one character.

Subject: Modifying E-mail header
Message-Id: <1040560207.565826@ananke.eclipse.net.uk>
Hi,
I'm running Exim and have a requirement to re-write e-mail message headers
when mail is sent to certain recipients.
Exim has some rules for doing address rewriting but the needs are quite
specific so I'm going to have to do it with perl.
The e-mail is passed to a perl script which takes the e-mail on its STDIN.
What I'm trying to do, is take the From: header and replace it with an
arbitary e-mail address, then seek to put the original From: recipient
e-mail address either on the end of the subject line OR in the first line of
the message body.
This gets difficult if the e-mail contains html aswell as plain/text.
Anyway I need to make the changes and then pass the whole message to the
STDOUT which will return it to Exim for delivery.
I'm beginning to pull out hair over this one. Does anyone know of any
examples where message bodies and headers are changed using perl ? I could
do it in PHP but I don't reckon it would be as efficient and could slow down
the mail server too much.
If anyone could help with any pointers on doing this re-writing I would be
extremely grateful.
Many Thanks
Steve C

MIME::Tools or MIME::Lite probably has what you want in
it. You can grab these from CPAN, see e.g.

I stopped working on the project at the time (it's a recreational

I'll work through nd add all the extras that it asks for and try again.

I see. Thanks Kevin, this info is most useful.
I've only used Perl2Exe a couple of times and the scripts then didn't
include any modules so all went fine.
Thanks again.. and Merry Xmas =)

Thanks Bart.
I'm slowly understanding all this. I've only compiled a few simle
scripts before and none that required modules so all went to plan.
I'll work on this sometime soon and get it working.
Thanks again and Merry Xmas =)

Ian

For that matter, you can use
#perl2exe_include LWP::Protocol::ftp
which does the same thing.
The latest version of Perl2Exe seems to be more aggressive about finding
these things, so if you haven't upgraded in a while, you might want to
consider that.

Thanks Kevin.
I actually upgraded yesterday as I was still running 4.03 I think and
it failed to compile on a Perl 5.6.1 error as it was wanting 5.6.0 so
upgraded to 5.03 I think it is.
The script is definitely of use I think to many people running windoze
hence my reason for wanting to compile in the first place. Had it been
for my personal use only, I would leave it as a script.
Maybe windoze will come with Perl as default one day.. or maybe just
wishful thinking =)

Ian
