Well, the script choked before I did that, and worked after. You decide. ;-)
Seriously though. It may not have been strictly necessary in the script
outside of the shebang line, but checking the "use UNIX line endings" box
in my editor was trivially simple. Figuring out how to change the shebang
line while leaving the rest unchanged would have been less so.
As for the text inputs, yes, of course you're correct with respect to common
usage. But this script isn't written like that; it reads in fixed-size
blocks of X bytes each, rather than using <> and chomp().
It's not the way I would have written it, but once again, simply selecting a
checkbox in my editor and saving the file was much simpler than fixing the
script.

Yes, of course they're displayed properly. Even the most half-baked of text
editors knows how to handle DOS/UNIX/Mac line-endings.

Thanks. Thought I should check.
There was a second chdir command in the program. And it did not belong
there. It would not have affected anything. But it has been removed in the
latest version. And I plan to get rid of the other chdir command with the
next program version.

Huh?!? There is NO difference as far as this (supposed) issue is
concerned between running from the cmd line and as a shortcut. But
then, what about logging to a file? What about a Tk widget to show the
error messages? If the program is supposed to work in a GUI-oriented
way, then why not using a GUI approach to show the error messages too?

BTW: that is not what I "wrote", so please give at least a minimum
context!
As far as your question is concerned, the answer is definitely
editor-dependent. So what do you think you can gain by collecting a
bunch of such answers? However it is my personal experience that most
editors can cope in some way or another with CR/CRLF different
conventions, including some very rudimentary ones: even edit.com will
read in a file with *nix \n's and silently save it with dos ones...
As a side note, not a real answer to your question, but are you aware
that (Info-)zip[*]'s zip and unzip both have switches to control line
endings archival and extraction? It's not particularly elegant nor
smart, but I, for one, sometimes do
zip -0 tmp <files>
unzip -oaa tmp
[*] I.e. the *only* zip/unzip programs I'm currently using, but I
suppose many other ones, if not all of them, will provide the same
functionality.
HTH,

Michele, you are probably way ahead of me in understanding how Perl works
and what you can get it to do. Right now I am just happy that the program
is generating numbers that look reasonably accurate in a reasonable amount
of time. The programs that I was using took as much as 2 hours to do a
single run. This Perl program does much more in perhaps 20 seconds. And it
is so easy to modify and expand.

This program involves quite a few text files. And I would like to be able
to exchange them with other people without anyone having to change this or
that in order to get them to display properly. If there were some people
whose text editors did not display the files correctly then I could probably
put a routine into Perl which would read the files, clip off the ending, and
store them again with a format which was compatible with that computer. It
sounds like that will not be necessary.
What I am probably going to have to do is add some extra spaces to the end
of each data line so that information can be read from the line as a
substring without anyone having to worry about what the last few characters
in the line look like.

Or, you could solve the problem correctly instead. Just use a tab-delimited
file with chomp(). Problem solved.
Seriously, you're writing this in Perl. If you want to use BASIC, use BASIC.
Don't write BASIC that pretends to be Perl.

No, definitely it won't be necessary as long as Perl, for one thing,
will handle different line ending conventions quite transparently!

Interestingly, however, I cannot see how your cmt may relate to
anything I have written in any thread having to do with your posts.
You didn't quote *properly* my article and I don't know what you're

point, but who knows, since there's no context?!?

If you're doing something with a well-known protocol, there's
almost certainly a module for it:
http://search.cpan.org/
Otherwise look at Net::Cmd and/or IO::Socket::INET

Subject: pass in array or list of files
Message-Id: <f6d34657.0404190820.5658c65a@posting.google.com>
Hi again,
I'm still working on a dns script. Last time I received some help and
everything works as it should. Basically, it takes the named.conf file
and comments out the next 5 lines of a domain that is given. THis
works great if the domain is hardcoded into the script.
What I'm trying to do is run through a file, and comment out names in
my named.conf file that are no longer hosted.
The script basically has
@ARGV = ("named.conf")
while (<>) {
if (/\b<a new domain feed from a list>/) {
$commenting = 1;
}
print "//" if $commenting;
print;
$commenting = 0 if /^\s*}/;
}
exit;
How can I pass in a new variable from file1, in some kind of for loop?
So, it will individually go through file1, which contains, test.com,
test.net, test.org, test.ws, and comment them out of my named.conf.
Also, alternatively, it would be nice to pass the name of the domain
at the command line. Simple, right...
Thanks,
Joe

Why are you alterming @ARGV and then using the magic <> to read the
named.conf? Would it not be simpler to open it with open()?
> How can I pass in a new variable from file1, in some kind of for loop?
You are asking how to read file line linewise? Why, you open it with
open() and read lines with readline() (a.k.a the <> operator). (See
the file handling section of any Perl tutorial or reference).
> So, it will individually go through file1, which contains, test.com,
> test.net, test.org, test.ws, and comment them out of my named.conf.
Probably simpler to slurp the whole file into an array (see FAQ) then
iterate over that array within the loop that iterates over the lines
of named.conf.
> Also, alternatively, it would be nice to pass the name of the domain
> at the command line. Simple, right...
Yes, command line arguments are in @ARGV (so long as you don't change it).

Bash translates readily to Perl, but not so easily to PHP.
PHP has limited "scripting". Perl has everything + the kitchen sink, is
often used in web applications, & often used in non-web applications.
Just about all modern linux/unix distros allow you to install PHP & Perl.

No.
Perl can execute shell commands.
Perl can access a mysql server.
Perl does not execute on the client (browser) it executes on the server.

I don't see any "executed by a browser" there, so why did you
say you need that?

Mostly true, but in some cases it can execute in a browser. ActiveState's
Perl hooks into Windows Scripting, so you can put Perl in <script>
elements, and if the client has installed AS Perl IE will run it.
Doing this is not at all appropriate for the WWW, naturally, but it can be
interesting if you're developing something for yourself, or for some other
environment where you have complete control over the client(s). It
certainly beats the heck out of playing around with VB or JS.

It should be pointed out at this point that the OP *probably* wanted to
know if a browser could contact a server that would execute Perl code, and
the answer to that is obviously YES. So if the OP is still reading, yes,
Perl is still what you want.

Hi All,
I'm using Windows 2003 Server for the first time. I just installed
Activeperl. I have the standard edition of 2003 server. Is there
anything special that I need to do so that Perl scripts will run?
Will Perl run on 2003 Server Standard Edition?
Thanks,
Arthur

Yes, but they are the same things as if you were using Python or Java.
Please ask server setup questions in a newsgroup about servers, such as:
comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows
