I perfer to avoid the need for "use re 'eval'" by compling the (?{})
in a separate qr//.
my $r = '\d+';
my $re = qr /(?{print "(", $- [-1], ", ", $+ [-1] - $- [-1], ")",

Why? Perl's lexical filehandles (the 'open my $IN' in my example) make
IO::File obsolete, AFAICS.
Yes, there are two ways:
my $IN = IO::File->new('filename', '<:encoding(utf16)');
my $IN = IO::File->new('filename', 'r');
binmode $IN, ':encoding(utf16)';

Subject: Re: Cannot launch simple applications (notepad, java) using Apache and PERL(CGI)
Message-Id: <6b2d6822.0405240618.cccf714@posting.google.com>
The applications that need to run are:
1. An X-windows application.
2. A Java Application.
Currently, I do understand the fact that the application that will
start will run on the server side. I also know that the java
application will need to be made into an applet and the X-windows
application will be also replaced by a web-based application. However,
I want to give a demo show what will eventually happen. In this case,
there is only one machine involved- the Apache server and the java
application and the x-windows application currently all run on the
same windows host.
What beats me is the fact that I cannot launch an application on the
same machine- I should be able to run the 4 lines of code to start a
notepad through the webserver. At this point, it is sufficient for my
demo purposes to be able to launch an application using Apache and
Perl as mentioned in my email.
Hope this explains the motivation.
Thanks,
Jai.

Subject: Equivalent of the Mid function from VB?
Message-Id: <c8t287$jpp$1@newsg2.svr.pol.co.uk>
Hey,
I'm trying to grab a section from a piece of text and I was wondering if
there was an equivalent to Visual Basic's Mid function in perl.
Basically it takes a start index (as a number of characters from the
beginning of the string) and a similar end index and returns the text
between them.
Thanks

Subject: filter in perl
Message-Id: <4de1519a.0405240504.728f68@posting.google.com>
Hi everyone,
I need to confirm a my doubt.
I use to make filter which they work perfectly. I am wondering if the
style of these scripts are perl-fashion or not. Ex in.txt:
home
dog
cat
home
car
bus
etc
etc
to grab the text from "home" to other "home" I use to do:
while(<>){
if(/^home/){
print;
while(<>){
print;
if(/^home/){
exit;
}}}}
to get:
home
dog
cat
home
but is not really perl style, i should say. any suggestion?
btw, in such way I print also the last line starting with home. If I
don't want print it?? so like:
home
dog
cat
many thanks
regards
andrea

Why is everybody so hot to write "perl-ish" code?
Putting technical aspects (functionality, performance, stability) aside, =
the best code is the code which you understand best.
Eg if you get confused by the implicit $_'s (like I do occasionally),=20
then don't use them, even if they are extreeeemy "perl-ish".

Most of all you're lacking indentation and white space.
while ( <> ) {
if ( /^home/ ) {
print;
while(<>){
print;
if(/^home/){
exit;
}
}
}
}
> btw, in such way I print also the last line starting with home. If I

Then swap the last "if" clause and the following "print" line.
Using "exit" to break out of a loop is overkill (you can take that
literally, it kills your program). Give the outer loop a label, say
"LOOP:", and replace "exit" with "last LOOP".
But you don't need deeply nested loops for this:
my $printing;
while ( <DATA> ) {
$printing = ! $printing if /^home/;
print;
}
does the same thing.

Read perldoc perlop about the "..." operator in scalar context.

This is almost exactly what the ... operator is intended for:
while (<DATA>){
print if /^home/ ... /^home/;
}
__DATA__
desk
home
dog
cat
home
car
bus
You can read about the ... operator in perldoc perlop

For this one, I'd use the xor operator instead. Again, read about it in
perldoc perlop
my $flag;
while (<DATA>){
$flag = ($flag xor /^home/);
print if $flag;
}
__DATA__
desk
home
dog
cat
home
car
bus

Subject: How to detect $CORE::GLOBAL:: overrides?
Message-Id: <Pine.BSF.4.60.0405241027570.68127@www.provisio.net>
Greetings!
Does anyone know a way that I can detect whether *CORE::GLOBAL::die has
been overridden? \&CORE::GLOBAL::die ne \&CORE::die, so I'm not sure how
to handle it.
The reason I ask is that I'm trying to workaround some bizarre behavior in
the following code:
my $OLD_DIE;
BEGIN
{
# Store any previously overwritten die
$OLD_DIE = \&CORE::GLOBAL::die;
*CORE::GLOBAL::die = \&my_die;
}
sub my_die
{
# do some stuff
&$OLD_DIE(@_);
}
If CORE::GLOBAL::die has already been overwritten, it works as expected.
However, if it hasn't, then my_die gets called instead of CORE::die.
(Somehow $OLD_DIE is being set to my_die?!)
I figured if I could detect that it wasn't overridden, then I can directly
call CORE::die and avoid the infinite recursion.
Thanks,
David

Subject: Netcat frontend - please help

Hello,
I have a task to write a ftp client using a compiled version of linux
netcat. I figures this would be a good way to learn perl ;)
What I need to do is to take the default input and output from a
launched netcat prog. and make a frontend.
I need to do something like (in pseudo): if (INPUT == "331 Password
required for xxx") { print("PASS xxx1"); } , make a command prompt and
some commands like if (COMMAND == "ls") { print("DIR"); }.
Can You tell me how to do that?
Especially how to reditect the input/output and script it.
Thank You!

If this isn't homework, use Net::FTP instead.
Otherwise, do your work yourself.

I'd have thought it was better to use one of Perl's FTP modules. To me,
this would be a more natural way of using Perl. Search CPAN for FTP.
Otherwise program Sockets directly, it's not that hard in Perl. The
Camel book used to have examples of this.

There is already a program that does this kind of thing, called Expect.
In addition, Perl has an "Expect" module.

I imagine the main complication will be timeouts and trapping & handling
of exceptions & errors. Expect makes this easier. I find that dialogues
with interactive programs often seem much more event driven than linear.

Have you looked in "Learning Perl" by O'Reilly, or their "Perl CookBook"?
If I was a Perl neophyte, I'd find a better problem for a learning
exercise than this one. YMMV.

Subject: open file error
Message-Id: <c8sk83$95r$1@sunnews.cern.ch>
Hi all,
I have a, probably, stupid problem, but I'm new to perl (not to
programming) and I can't see where the problem is.
A simple program containing this command:
open(FH, "test.txt") || die $!;
gives the following answer:
"No such file or directory"
The file is there and the permissions on the sever dir are ok.
On the other hand, if I try to open a file to write I get a permission
error because I don't have the right to write in the same dir.
Thanks.

Can't be. Try to open the file using its full path, e.g:
open( FH, '/path/to/file/test.txt' ) or die "$!\n";
And - BTW: Don't use double quotes if you really don't have to. In this
case, you don't have to.

You would not get that message if the file was really "there".
Machines don't make mistakes. People do. :-)

Server? What server?
No server is required to run Perl programs.
This must be a stealth-CGI question.
Is your Perl program running in a CGI environment perchance?
I'll guess that "there" (the cwd) is not where you think it is.
It is probably some directory other than where the file is.
Either chdir() to where the file is, or use an absolute, rather
than relative, path to the file.

No, it's because
eval $cmd
in shell, would be the equivalent of perl's:
eval(join(" ", map(glob, split($IFS_regexp, $cmd))))
IT'S ALMOST ALWAYS WRONG TO LEAVE A VARIABLE UNQUOTED IN SHELL

If your filenames are *really* that regular, then you may use
something like
# ls *.c
[snip list as above]
# perl -e '$"=""; rename $_, "ex@{[(/\d+/g)[2,3]]}.c" for @ARGV' *.c
# ls *.c
ex0303.c ex0304.c ex0305.c ex0306.c

You might take a look at the R language: http://www.r-project.org/
It may be more appropriate for your purpose. There's no reason you
can't use Perl to massage your data into a usable form and then use R
as the analysis language.
