Hi,
This line of code does not work on my main WXP machine running
ActiveState Perl 5.8 (5.6 also did the same thing).
@statarray = split /\n/,`dir c:\\seismo\\miniseisnet\\*.station /b`;
but it will run on another WXP machine. It used to work on my main
machine but no longer does. I have even gone to the lengths of
uninstalling both Perl and Komodo an re-installing them. It did not
help.
This the output both in Komodo and from the command line:
dir: c\:\\seismo\\miniseisnet\\*.station: No such file or directory
dir: /b: No such file or directory
I seems to not like the *.station part of the command. since I get
something (not what I want) when I leave it off.
When it does work I get just what I expect. @stationarray contains
all the filenames that meet the '*.station' criteria.
CompSpec looks fine.
I need to use the backticks instead of system() since system() does
not return the output of a command only it's status.
Anyone have any ideas?? I'm stumped.
regards,
Rod

I used to have a problem like that on Windoze 98SE. It
turned out to be the virus checker I was running (it was
from McAfee). I changed virus checkers (to EZ-AntiVirus)
and no more problem. Just a possibility.

Should we really do that, or should we tell him to use CGI.pm? I've
looked a bit into CGI.pm, and managed to make it slightly "lighter", but
that doesn't mean that one shouldn't use CGI.pm in the first place.
I don't think OP's problem is the overhead (...) of CGI.pm. If he is
concerned about speed in an application, there are other place to look
first (which I did).

I know. And it can be reasonably fast on Linux. On Windows the startup
of the interpreter tends to annoy me. Another draw back is that such a
script can only use what it get via the command line or the passed
data. No access to internal editor functions.
I had a good look at (X)Emacs. I just could get myself to like Lisp

Thanks for your details in Net::FTP, I'd got to know how to use
it.....
Thanks for your fully support.
But I have an another question.
If FTP server have a file,A, when I run this script, so I get the A
file.
Next time, FTP server have files, A and B, how can I know that I'd got
the A file. This time, only I get the B file.

Good ! Sharp eyes.
What's particularly confusing is that some some definitions need the
trailing slash and some don't. For example:
<Directory "C:/indigoperl/apache/htdocs">
doesn't use the trailing slash.
I have it working now, although I have to change a few things in my perl
scripts.
I'd really like to be able to test my scripts and then ftp them to
the rcn server without having to change the scripts. For example,
at least minimally I seem to have to edit the
#!/usr/bin/perl
and change it to
#!perl
for the local apache testing.
Thanks. /Eric

Even if it's confusing, it's commented on in httpd.conf, isn't it?

Just put a simple symlink in /usr/bin to the real location of your
perl. And if your local testing apache isn't open to the world, there
is no harm in setting the option "FollowSymlinks".
But that getting slightly OT.

Well, one problem is that there is no /usr/bin directory on a Windows
box. And there is no possibility to create symlinks either, is there? ;-)

One solution is to designate c:\usr as the installation directory when you
install the Perl interpreter. Then the location is in fact /usr/bin/perl
and the shebang line doesn't need to be changed.

Well, actually, there are quite a few other things I have to
painstakingly edit when I move my files from the local apache
server to the rcn server.
One of them is this:
<form name=digest method=post
action=http://cgibin.rcn.com/ericosman/cgi-bin/reFormat.pl>
The above line is the launch line for my Perl script, and it appears
in an html file.
If I were able to put my Perl scripts in the same directory as
the html code (should apache be able to do this ????) then
I could leave off all the path stuff and just say
<form name=digest method=post action=reFormat.pl>
Another set of lines I need to change is
print "<frame name=toc src=\"../wind/frameToc.html\">\n";
print "<frame name=body src=\"../wind/frameBody.html\">\n";
These are in the perl script that generates my frameset. Those used to
just say
print "<frame name=toc src=\"frameToc.html\">\n";
print "<frame name=body src=\"frameBody.html\">\n";
when I was storing the Perl in the same directory as the html.
But since I seem to be forced to separate the Perl into /cgi-bin and
the html into /wind , things get less convenient.
Not to mention that when I'm using ws_ftp to do the transfers, I have
to keep switching directories between the /wind and /cgi-bin directories
on BOTH my source and destination side.
The rcn server doesn't seem to mind the Perl scripts in the same
/cgi-bin directory as the html files, but the apache server on my
local xp box seems not to like that. If you can make it work, please
let me know ! Thanks. /Eric

Does that really work? Wouldn't it rather result in the location
C:/usr/bin/perl ?

Have you searched for daemonize in 'perldoc perlipc'? Basically you need
to disassociate the child script that you want to continue from the CGI.

Rule of thumb when going with perl dont reinvent the wheel cpan is your

Read the API and study the sample code and you should be a able to crunch

Nah, I can parse it, but it would take far more time than
I have to get this working. I was just hoping for some
already-built starting point I could scavenge parts from.

I'll check that out. Thanks.
However, I've finally figured out how to make the VC++ compiler
and linker run correctly from the command line, so I should be
able to kick it off from Perl. I was having a lot of trouble
getting the right VC++ options and such, but now have a fairly
simple working setup.
So, now I can go with the tool->C++->tool2 scenario and it
will still run very quickly. And I don't need to parse C++
code myself anymore. Yay!
Thanks anyway!

It would appear you printed a scalar that contains a reference to a
scalar value. Try printing $$mydate and see if that helps. Otherwise
use Data::Dumper; and print Dumper($mydate); to see what is really in
the variable.

Is it possible to turn a perl script into a binary executable?
Basically I have created a script that people are going to use but I
don't want them to read the source code of it.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

Yes, here are some options:
perlcc Malcolm Beatties free perlcompiler
PerlApp Activestate
perl2exe Indigostar
If you are really embarrassed of your code, you could also encrypt it.
Grab a sourcefilter from CPAN. And while your downloading:
Send a grateful thought to the open-source community that has made all
this possible...

Yes. Some have been mentioned already.
Others:
1. TinyPerl - produces an executable program from your Perl script
2. Acme::Bleach - Hides the code of your Perl script

Get the code from CPAN
What have you already tried? What do you mean by "the current version
from www.activestate.com doesn't seem
to support this?" The module is not installed with Activestate perl if
that's what you mean
I'm using Perl 5.8.0 with WWW::Mechanize on Windows now so it is
certainly possible
