Hello grp,
I am searching for a perfect match of a string in a line and want to
replace all occurances of the string with a new string and also want a count
of the replacements
What I mean by a perfect match is that it should not be a substring of any
other string,should be independent.
$a is my string to be searched
$cnt = ($line =~ s/$a\w+/$tobereplaceed)
I dont get a correct output.
PLz help
Thaanx in advance
Rgds,
Naren.

No, you need to be able to *post* to a moderated newsgroup with the
right magic to get it out.
I was unaware that my chosen usenet posting host has been blocking all
such attempts, legitimate or not, for a long time. I'm in search of a
posting host that will let me inject moderated articles. Once I find
that, I can again resume CLPA postings.

Is it difficult to dynamically generate a jpg in PERL? For example,
create a pie-chart or other graphs? What about including other
images?
I would like to dynamically create jpg's or gif's for my website and I
heard that it can be done in PERL.
Thanks!

I don't know about PERL, but with Perl you can use modules.
You can use Imager, Image::Magick, or GD. Or you can use any other
package that creates some sort of bitmap and convert it to JPEG format
with Image::Magick or some such.
See your local CPAN mirror, or start at http://search.cpan.org/.

There are already modules available on CPAN. See abovementioned URL.
GD::Graph is one that I know particularly well, but there are several
others.
It'd be better to create PNG files instead of JPEG, though. JPEG's
compression algorithm isn't very good at images with typical charts.
> I would like to dynamically create jpg's or gif's for my website
Most free modules at the moment don't do GIF because of the patenting
issues involved. GIF is inferior to PNG for this sort of thing
(anything, really) anyway. JPEG is not a good file format for charts.

Please, stop saying PERL. It hurts.

Its easy once you know how. Use the GD module

Gifs are only supported up to Version 1.18 of GD (which is still available
for download); the latest version of GD uses png as the graphics format.
Have at look at the stock market charts at my site www.ipo-australia.com to
give you some basic ideas.

This is BETA software; it seems to work, but use at your own risk :)
[snip]
If that's not enough of a reason the module requires a C compiler to
install and all the C code does (on FreeBSD, IRIX, DecOSF, NetBSD,
Linux, UnixWare and Solaris) is access the /proc file system
A code example from ProcessTable.pm
sub _get_tty_list
{
my ($self) = @_;
undef %Proc::ProcessTable::TTYDEVS;
find({ wanted =>
sub{
$File::Find::prune = 1 if -d $_ && ! -x $_;
my($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,
$atime,$mtime,$ctime,$blksize,$blocks) =
stat($File::Find::name);
$Proc::ProcessTable::TTYDEVS{$rdev} = $File::Find::name
if(-c $File::Find::name);
}, no_chdir => 1},
"/dev"
);
}
Why are they stat()ing the same file FOUR times?
Not that I'm against using modules. :-) I just like to know what all
my options are.

I recommend to you to seek a Master of Business Administration degree
with a concentration in marketing. In that course of learning, you
will discover more strategic marketing concepts for your consulting
business rather than flaming a rather straightforward question on a
discussion group.

and you are a fool if you think that was flaming. tad pointed out some
very common newbie bugs and problems with your code. as you are also
under the spell of moronzilla, the local troll. she may have satisfied
your current perl need but wait until you disagree with her or get into
a problem space where she won't tread (which is most of perl itself, she
sticks to simple text stuff and no regexes or refs - baby perl in the
extreme).
so go along your merry perl life and realize that you are backing the
wrong side here. search google for the history of tad's posting and of
moronzilla's. if you can't see the difference, you belong to her and woe
is you.
and this is not a flame even though you will probably take it as such.

first off, don't top post.
secondly, that is the wrong way to work with strict. the correct way is
to use my. what you did is create package globals and that is not good
practice.

Well, thank you a million times. Sometimes it's hard to believe that there

Could you please post the revised source also, for my inspection. I would
like to try making some modifications. I'll se if I can find any free
compiler. Maybee I'll start learing C.
If I were to get a complier, what would my specifications be. Are they all
the same? I mean, I just need the complier, not a whole bundle of fancy

Good idea. The (shortened) link to the source is
<http://xrl.us/th5>
Yet, in order to understand and modify it just knowing C might not be
enough. XS code uses the perlapi with a lot of funny looking macros and
such. This is all documented:
perlguts.pod
perlxstut.pod
perlxs.pod
perlapi.pod
perlclib.pod # describes the perlapi versions of libc functions
I used these symbols from the perlapi (in order of appearance):
SvPV
New
Copy
sv_newmortal
sv_setref_pv
XPUSHs
XSRETURN
SvIV
SvRV
newSVnv
GIMME
G_SCALAR
sv_2mortal
G_ARRAY
EXTEND
PUSHs
Safefree
either to be found in perlapi or perlclib (New, Copy, Safefree). So you
can look them up while trying to make sense of the code.
I learned C through XS, actually. You can do it with Inline::C if you
prefer. The above manpages are then still valuable and worth a read.

Usually just a compiler-suit. The compiler itself has other necessary
components, the linker for instance. This is usually included since
otherwise the compiler wouldn't be of much use. And a make tool. nmake
will be ok if you use VisualC.
Since you are doing this under Windows, maybe you have a look at
<http://www.cygwin.com>
It's a Linux-environment running under Windows. You have a proper shell
and all the essential tools to develop software. The advantage is that
it all fits together very well (and is free, of course). You get a real
make program plus the gcc as C compiler. cygwin has software packages
that you can selectively install. So you'd probably want to install
perl, make, gcc, maybe a good text-editor (although you can still use
your current one) and some related libraries.
I think with a little bit of tweaking, you can even use this cygwin
environment to compile modules for ActivePerl. I remember that I tried
it a couple of times and it usually worked pretty well.
Or you just install Linux, which is the most convenient way. :-)
Anyway, if you can get hold of VisualC from whatever legal or illegal
sources (not my concern:-), you don't need cygwin. In the beginning it's
a little harder since Windows does things differently from cygwin (which
does it the UNIX-way). Also, perlxstut (the XS tutorial) is assuming a
UNIXish environment. So it's easier to follow and experiment with the
examples.

Could this be the cause? I'm not exactly familiar with all of this CPAN

Anyway, if someone is familiar with the installation of Slashcode, and
could help me out here, that would be great. Frankly I'm in way over my
head and I have no clue what to do from here.
(And FWIW, I'm running RedHat9).
