I think the crucial part is "by MS Outlook 2003". On my day job
Notepad is all I have to write code with, but I never have problems
transferring the files to other systems. So I would infer the problem
comes from what Outlook does (though I've never used Outlook myself,
so I can't be sure).

A definition I read years ago: "Unix Guru - writes device drivers using
cat".
"8-)
IMHO, a program is a sequence of steps to achieve a planned outcome,
whether that be balancing the national budget or crossing the road to buy
milk. A programmer is one who writes down the sequence of steps in a form
which facilitates their execution in an effective and reproducible manner. A
good programmer will write the steps in a manner which enhances the
efficiency of both their execution and future modification, with best
economy of resources.
Almost invariably, those programmers I have worked with who exhibit
religious bigotry in favour of one language or another do not qualify as
good programmers, because they are too narrow minded to choose the best tool
for the job and will use, say C++ to perform a task better suited to PHP or
Perl.
Mothra, if you write working Perl code, you are a programmer in my
opinion. Tell 'em to go somewhere unpleasant and do something unspeakable -
use you own words, of course !!

What they really mean is .... "whereas the stuff they write

Tell them that programmers are a dime a dozen while you are a software
engineer.

Quick (or maybe not) question.
What is the difference between an anonymous array, an array, and a list?
For instance, here I have a list:
print +('foo', 'bar')[0];
And here I have an array constructed using a list:
@foo = ('foo', 'bar');
Given the flexibility of those two options, when (or why) must I use an
anonymous array? (Or is the answer, "only when you need to construct a
reference to one".)
My hunch is that it has to do with THING-of-THING structures (perldsc),
since,
@foo = ('foo', ('bar', 'baz'));
just created a single flat array with 3 elements. But, then, we're back to
references. So are references really the only use for anonymous
constructors at all...?

The difference between an anonymous array and an array is that
one has a name and one doesn't.
The difference between a list and an array is given in the answer
to that Frequently Asked Question, and since you have surely
already seen that answer I will not attempt to repeat it here.

You never _must_ use an array without a name, but it is often
convenient, particularly if you do not need to make use of
the name.

That is when it is convenient, but you can always construct a
reference to a named array just as well...

Those are most commonly called "multi level data structures".

If it has no name, then a reference is the only way to access it, so: yes.

Well, the easy part, concatenating string/scalars together, I suspect
you've figured out.
Creating directories is also quite easy - e.g., system("mkdir $dir"), or
find the right module.
But if you're asking about creating directories in a web-application
context, there are more issues involved. If this is the case, you'll need
to describe precisely what your setup is and what you are trying to do
before people will have enough info. to be able to help you.

Works for me. Just make sure the script starts
with '#!/path/to/perl -p -i.bak'

Are you putting the -i on the "shebang" line?

Slurp the file into a single scalar, s///g, write the scalar. I don't
know that that's *better* though, since you have to have the whole file
in memory. I'd probably use the per-line loop in most situations.
#!/bin/perl -i.bak -p
BEGIN {$x = 'foobar';}
s/text/$x/g;
If you really couldn't use that feature for some reason, you can
duplicate it in the begin block...
#!/bin/perl -p
BEGIN { $x = 'foobar'; $^I = '.bak'; }
s/text/$x/g;

you mean like perl -le'print "@INC"' ?
of course, if there are more than one perls installed on your
system, or your server uses a statically linked perl, or does
things to your CGI script's environment, the method you mention
may be safer. (and what is wrong with that, by the way?)

Yes, pure-perl doesn't deal so well with modular exponentiation - which
I would think is what eats up the time in your Diffie-Hellman computations.
I generally find that using GMP instead of Pari provides a further
(significant) speed increase. In the script below, I find GMP to be 20
times faster than Pari, but results vary depending upon the actual size
of the operands and the types of computations being conducted.
----------------------------------
use Math::BigInt;
#use Math::BigInt lib => 'GMP'; # Plug M::BI into M::GMP
#use Math::BigInt lib => 'Pari'; # Plug M::BI into M::Pari
use warnings;
use Benchmark;
$n = Math::BigInt->new('3' x 400);
$e = Math::BigInt->new('7' x 400);
$m = $e - 10;
timethese(1, {
'bench' => '$n->bmodpow($e, $m);',
});
print $n, "\n";
----------------------------------
If you want to try GMP on Win32, you can get the necesssary GMP dll from:
http://www.kalinabears.com.au/w32perl/GMP-4.1.3-msvc.tar.gz
Just extract 'libgmp-3.dll' from the tarball and place it somewhere in
your path. You won't need any of the other files contained in the tarball.
There's also Win32 binaries of Math::BigInt::GMP available.
Download for perl 5.6:
http://www.kalinabears.com.au/w32perl/Math-BigInt-GMP-56.tar.gz
Download for perl 5.8:
http://www.kalinabears.com.au/w32perl/Math-BigInt-GMP-58.tar.gz
Just install as per instructions in the Readme.
I've only just recently updated those files, and haven't yet checked to
see if anything has been broken in the process :-)
If anyone does find there's something that's broke, please let me know.
Cheers,
Rob

I'm sure there is some alternate parallel universe where you think
you're right, but in fact, in the real world, there are people in
Africa who moonlight on their school's or employer's computers during
off-hours, doing exactly this kind of work.
See http://www.bridges.org/africasource/ for more info, including
direct testimony from people who are in exactly that situation, or
worse. They're not exactly "taking away our jobs", but they are
taking jobs that pay less than peanuts to most of us in the First
World because it's the best they can do.
