Message-Id: <3e8377da@news.comindico.com.au>
I get this error when I am trying to install ActivePerl 5.8.0 Build 805
The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Perl.
The installation cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your
system administrator.
I am logged in as the administrator and don't understand what is going on.
Thanks for any help with this frustrating problem.

Subject: another getopts::std question
Message-Id: <b09a22ae.0303262107.2758b1ec@posting.google.com>
I have been looking at the perl module docs and other docs I can find
on getopts::std but I can seem to figure out the logic behind it. Ive
tried by writing what I thought was a simple program, but I can't seem
to get it to do what id expect. Any ideas?
#!/bin/perl -w
use Getopt::Std;
getopts('hmf:');
die "Usage: $0 [-h] [-m] [-f string]\n" if ($opt_h);
print "Option M was present\n" if ($opt_m);
print "Option F was passed '$opt_f\n" if ($opt_f);
print "No options given\n" if (!opt_f && !$opt_m);
Last question, if I use '-f [string]' what is the best way to
reference that file in an open statement -
open(IN, "<$opt_f") || die "cant open $!\n"; ???
Thanks,

Subject: Anyone know how to start a new lists.cpan.org mailing list?
Message-Id: <6be12ff5.0303270820.7d5ea17c@posting.google.com>
As I write this, that server seems to be down.
However, a couple of weeks ago, I tried to fill out the "submit a
new list" form, at http://lists.cpan.org/submission.cgi, and am
not sure I understand it. I want, if possible, to start a new
list that's *hosted* by lists.cpan.org, but the form seemed to
be for information about an already existing mailing list.
I want to request that a new mailing list be set up for the
discussion of the Physics::Unit and related modules.
The form had many fields that I left blank, for example:
"List posting address:". I would like to request that
perl.org *host* the mailing list -- i.e. that the
servers actually implement the list, as I see that many
other lists are. This form seems to suggest that the
list has already been established on some other organization's
server, and I'm just supposed to enter the data about it.
Is there some other form that I need to fill out?
If someone can email me (or post a reply) with any information,
I'd be very appreciative. My email address is
dude@chrismaloney.com
Thanks!

I have a array like
@col1 ;
@col2 ;
@col3 ;
@col4 ;
How can i make it as a list of array ?
something like
$column[0] - should hold array col0.
$column[2] - should hold array col1.
and so on.
What should column be declared as ?
@column = () ;
or
%column ;
Thanks in advance.

That's four arrays.

That would be an array of arrays. Lists do not have names. One way
of doing so is:
@column = (\@col1, \@col2, \@col3, \@col4);
This would "share" the elements of @col1, etc. If you want to copy the
elements, use:
@column = ([@col1], [@col2], [@col3], [@col4]);
'' What should column be declared as ?
'' @column = () ;
'' or
'' %column ;
The latter is a hash.
See also 'man perlref', 'man perlreftut', 'man perllol', 'man perldsc'.

Try the following code :
@column = ( \@col1 , \@col2 , \@col3 , \@col4 );
$array = $column[0]; # get reference to @col1
$value = $$array[0]; # get 1st element of @col1

I'd think that would be the Ascii mode (subclass) for Net::FTP.

Hi,
I am trying to write a thread that shares a variable with its parent
but can't seen to get it to work. I am using windows 2000 and have
copied the examples out of the perlthrtut from perldoc.com but it just
won't work.
Is this an issue on windows or am I doing something stupid.

Threads doesn't work with perl 5.6 on Windows. You need perl 5.8.
'perl -v' will tell you which version you have.
If you are using perl 5.8, and it's still not working, post one of the
sample scripts that you tried, together with the error messages it produced,
and the output of 'perl -V'.
(I tried a couple of the scripts from perlthrtut and they both worked fine
for me with ActiveState build 802.)
Cheers,
Rob
