Use the one that best matches your requirements. You're not limited to

Hello all,
I just make a program in perl. My first one in fact. Which use some WWW
packages to start a http session, log to a site, download some pages and treat
these data.
The problem I have now it's that while executing, my program is taking
more and more memory. What should I look for to solve this? Perl has a
garbagge collector so I did not worry freing anything. Should I?
The program is a endless loop (while(1)...). At each iteration it creates
objects inside the only function called:
Create my objects Obj
while(1){
Obj->CallMyFunction();
sleep(60);
}
I supposed every object and variable created inside CallMyFunction() were
freed from memory after quiting the function. Inside this function, I
create another type of object which has "Obj" has member variable. Could it
cause a problem. I do not store anything in Obj at each iteration. It has
its initial variables and they don't change.
Hope it's clear and thanks for your help.
Yannick

OK, made a short version now, and it seems as if CGI.pm is not at fault.
I don't think the script is even ever called, as even if I point the
upload form to a non-existant script, it still blocks forever.
So you'll probably tell me to go away. But for what it's worth, here the

If you think that you don't primarily have a Perl language problem
here, you're probably right. If you think that you'd get a better
answer to your HTML authoring and/or web server configuration problems
on a more appropriate group, you'd probably be right. If you think
that we don't care whether you succeed or not, you're probably wrong.
We _do_ like to see folks getting good results, but we're happier when
we see them going about it in the right way.

Looks promising, but are you sure what absolute URL that relative
URLpath "cgi-bin/uploadTest.pl" is going to resolve to?

Guess who isn't paying proper attention to this group's posting
guidelines? The regulars hate that. It's demeaning for a human being
to be asked to do the job of a machine.
I don't see anything obvious that leaps out at me.
What you've omitted to tell us is what you observed when you tried it.
Take a look at those guidelines - use strict and warnings - in this
context I'd also recommend making use of CGI::Carp to get any
diagnostics back to the browser while testing (take it out again
before opening the web site to the public - no need to expose internal
details to hackers...)
good luck

Here is one way to do it:

use warnings;

use Socket;
my %mons = qw/ Jan 0 Feb 1 Mar 2 Apr 3 May 4 Jun 5 Jul 6 Aug 7 Sep 8 Oct 9 Nov 10 Dec 11 /;
my @mons = qw/ Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec /;
my $mon = qr/@{[ join '|', @mons ]}/;
my %data;
while ( <> ) {
next unless /^($mon) \s+ (\d+) \s+ \d+:\d+:\d+ \s+ (\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)/x;
my $date = sprintf '%02d%02d', $mons{ $1 }, $2;
my $ip = inet_aton $3;
$data{ $ip }{ count }++;
$data{ $ip }{ max } = $date if not exists $data{ $ip }{ max } or $data{ $ip }{ max } lt $date;
$data{ $ip }{ min } = $date if not exists $data{ $ip }{ min } or $data{ $ip }{ min } gt $date;
}
printf "%-20s %-20s %s\n", 'Date Range', 'Device', '# of Reboots';
for my $ip ( sort keys %data ) {
my $range = sprintf '%s %d - %s %d',
$mons[ substr $data{ $ip }{ min }, 0, 2 ],
substr( $data{ $ip }{ min }, 2 ),
$mons[ substr $data{ $ip }{ max }, 0, 2 ],
substr( $data{ $ip }{ max }, 2 );
printf "%-20s %-20s %s\n", $range, inet_ntoa( $ip ), $data{ $ip }{ count };
}

When you assume an alias, you get whatever reputation goes with it.
Addresses at nowhere.com have posted here before (try looking some
up at groups.google.com) and I, at least, have that whole domain
scored down a bunch.
( killfiled is when someone instructs their newsreader to delete
_automatically_ some articles so that the human user never even
sees them.
a score file assigns "scores" based on rules, then deletes
articles over some threshhold score set by the user.
in other words: many experienced people will not see articles
that have "nowhere.com" in their address, so you'll get less
answers to your questions if you use it.

Subject: GD PIE 3D: Alter Projection Angle
Message-Id: <ebe52c7.0310131324.4b00d395@posting.google.com>
Hey,
I'm using Perl 5.8.0 with modules: GD 1.41 (?), and pie3d 0.63.
I've been fairly successful at getting all the functionality to work
for most of the different types of graphs.
My current problem is: with pie3d I need to change the "attitude" of
the pie chart. I'd like to be able to have it almost stand straight
up, or have it lay down (get me? I want to rotate the graphic on it's
axis). I've seen PHP examples of this, and tried to dig in and figure
out how to get Perl to do it.
Any suggestions?
Chad.

This is a FAQ:

There are lots of editors that do syntax highlighting for Perl. Pick one you

It wasn't a permissions problem but rather "mknod" needed to be
"/bin/mknod".

In that case, the CGI setup must really be stripping the

Why shell out? Use perl's built-in mknod.

Since you presume to instruct regular posters on how to behave
on Usenet, I assumed that you had some experience with Usenet.
But I must have been mistaken, since you don't know that
common term, nor how to go lookup common terms.
You've now confirmed my decision. :-(

I don't know if this is a perl issue or a Mac OS issue. I just
installed perl5.8.1 and I getting the following error msgs each time I
run any perl script:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale setting:
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_US"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
I ran perl -V:d_setlocale and, in addition to the above warnings, got
d_setlocale='define';
The system locale info is in /usr/share/locale.
Any idea what's going on?

It's a Mac OS X issue. See

No ;), but a fix ia to unset the environment variable LANG. For
bash/sh and the likes:
EXPORT LANG=

as with the majority of job assignments you will 'possibly' take on 'on the
job'.
That is why Engineers make such good $$ :)
