Hello.
I'm working with Perl and MySQL, and I would like to store an
array (@my_array) into a DataBase, so that I can handle it.
Is it possible?
Thank you very much.

Could someone provide a way to consolidate the following:
$_ =~ s/^\s+//gm;
next unless !/^\#/;
next unless !/^\%/;
next unless !/^\)/;
next unless /(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})/;
$_ =~ tr/\'\,//d;
This is all inside a while loop. I was trying to get all the lines inside a
single $_ but I'm not having much luck.
I need the lines to filter through the data in the order in which they are
listed.

^^
Is this a multiline string?
Why do you mention $_ here, but not in the later pattern matches? Be
consistent.
s/^\s+//; # /gm only makes sense with multiline strings
> next unless !/^\#/;
> next unless !/^\%/;
> next unless !/^\)/;
Well, "unless !/.../" is the same as "if /.../". Avoid negation.
Double negation is never necessary.
Further, you don't have to escape "#" in a regex, nor most of the other
characters you escaped. Only ")" needs it (but see below). Don't do
that, the reader (yourself included) has to remember to ignore the
spurious backwhacks.
There's nothing fundamentally wrong with multiple "next if /.../"
statements. It helps keep the individual regexes simple. Here however
the three regexes can be conveniently combined in a character class:
next if /^[#,)]/
Now not even ")" must be escaped.
> next unless /(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})/;
Nothing wrong with that. Don't try to combine this regex with the
other one. Even if the logic were easy to get (it isn't), it's much
clearer to leave them apart.
> $_ =~ tr/\'\,//d;
Again too much escaping and unnecessary "$_ =~".

I don't know what you're saying here...

pdftotext works good. There's no point in reinventing the
wheel. If you are just curious about how it works, it is
open source.

Subject: Converting a string to a valid date..
Message-Id: <8yEX9.11615$w62.3073509437@newssvr10.news.prodigy.com>
Ok I have the following problem..
I have a script that receives data from another scipt via an http POST
and I need to insert this data into a MySQL database before I can continue
processing the request..
Anyhow. .the date format of the dates recieved via POST is..
18:30:30 Jan 1, 2000 PST
However MySQL will only accept datetime fields in the format..
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
So.. anyhow.. I need to figure out a good way to convert from the format I
recieve in
and the format I need to use to insert into the database as a valid datetime
object..
Basically.. I am wondering what the best method might be too accomplish
this..
I was thinking that I could first strip the , out and then split on
whitespace.. and get an array..
which should contain all parts of the puzzle..
anyhow.. the timezone portion isnt critical.. because all requests will be
in
the same timezone.. and mainly the dates will simply be used for fetching a
result set from the
database based on a date range. .
So then I figured I would need to create an array of 'Short Month' names for
conversion of
that data to a numeric value..
And then I would also need something to add the leading 0 onto the Day of
the Month.. if it wasnt
already there..
Then finally I figured on 'gluing' all the pieces together in the proper
order to obtain the final result
So anyhow.. I figure this will work.. but I REALLY feel like I must be
re-inventing the wheel here..
I figure there must either be a module for doing this already.. or
something.. and short of that.. I am sure
that one of you gurus could probably write this in about 5 lines.. whereas
for me it will most likely be more
than 50 LOL..
Anyhow.. im more than willing to tackle this if nescessary.. but if anyone
has any suggestions I would
appreciate hearing them.. thanks..

While it's quite easy to parse and manipulate the date string you showed into
something that MySQL likes, you might want to use a Module for it.
If you're wondering if there's a module that will help you, always start with
CPAN or search w/Google. On CPAN, search for "Date", you'll find a few modules
that will help, such as Date::Format.

Well I wrote the following little snippet to handle it..
I think it should work ok.. assuming my Short Month names are all correct ..
Somehow I didnt think it would have been this easy.. all my other forays
into
dates and times have been much harder..
Anyone see any holes? or anything I missed?
sub d_convert{
%shortmonths =
("Jan"=>'01',"Feb"=>'02',"Mar"=>'03',"Apr"=>'04',"May"=>'05',"Jun"=>'06',
"Jul"=>'07',"Aug"=>'08',"Sep"=>'09',"Oct"=>'10',"Nov"=>'11',"Dec"=>'12');
$conv_date = $_[0];
$conv_date =~ s/,//;
@de = split(/\s/,$conv_date);
if (length($de[2]) == 1) {
$de[2] = '0'.$de[2];
}
return "$de[3]:$shortmonths{$de[1]}:$de[2] $de[0]"
}
$date_in = "17:42:50 Jan 30, 2003 PST";
print &d_convert($date_in);

It will, however if you pass it Lib.pm as the file to execute that doesn't
count, so it will load it once more.
A better test for syntax of a module is something like
perl -MLib -e42
which loads the module and then does nothing. This should give no errors.

Subject: function overriding
Message-Id: <7JDX9.63$EZ2.27492@news-west.eli.net>
I've got a nice test of this groups skills.
What I'm trying to accomplish is, get my error log for a specific
script to write to a different log (accomplished this part), but prefix
any error line with the date/time and ip (only got about half of this
part).
With the code below I have successfully overridden warn() and die()
to prefix with this info, but anytime I get an error like:
"cp: /path/to/image.jpg: No such file or directory"
It is not prefixed. It would be nice if it worked with compile time
errors too (note I have this stuff in a BEGIN block).
######################################
BEGIN {
$|=1;
open(STDERR, ">>/path/to/logs/ss_err.log");
use subs 'warn';
sub warn {
unshift (@_, "[" . localtime() .
"] [WARN] [$ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}] ");
CORE::warn(@_);
}
use subs 'die';
sub die {
unshift (@_, "[" . localtime() .
"] [DIE] [$ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}] ");
CORE::die(@_);
}
}
######################################
I also discussed something like this in here about 6 months ago to
which I got some code with Tie::Handle in relation to STDERR, which
worked, but only if you actually performed a "print STDERR".
(groups.google.com discussion link here:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=3CFE9F85.2039
77BA%40earthlink.net&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq%3DPrefixDate%26hl%3Den%26lr

note: remove line breaks in the url)
So, does anyone know of a CORE function I can override to accomplish
this, or some other method? Perhaps a different approach with
Tie:Handle? Or even a signal to intercept? Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
David

There are indeed two special signals that Perl provides and for which
you can install handlers:
BEGIN {
$SIG{ __WARN__ } = sub {
my $msg = shift;
...
};
$SIG{ __DIE__ } = sub {
my $msg = shift;
...
};
}
By putting them into a BEGIN block on top of your script this should
even catch compilation errors. This also works if you trigger one of the
two signals above yourself:
open FILE, "file" or die $!;
will also call the above handler. Same for warn().

Well, it tells you what's wrong. The lines following the line
"PerlScript Error..." are Perl's error message. It says that Perl
can't find the module IO::Socket which is requested by "use IO::Socket",
the first thing your program does. This indicates a mis-installation
of Perl (since IO::Socket belongs to Perl). I'd re-install Perl on the
failing system.

Thanks for the update Martien- I had no idea Parrot was still in the
cage! It got a lot of play at OSCON so I guess I (incorrectly) assumed
it was out in the world. I appreciate the snapshop, I agree it looks
to have many exciting ascpects which as you probably know drew cheers
and catcalls at OSCON when they were enumerated byt Damian and Larry
et al.
Cheers, I'll heed your warning and stick to 5.6 for now...

Administrivia:
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
