Subject: ANNOUNCE: Zoidberg 0.91
Message-Id: <I7nF9H.1nt0@zorch.sf-bay.org>
Uploaded a new version of Zoidberg (0.91) to CPAN today, along with new versions of Term::ReadLine::Zoid (0.07) and Env::PS1 (0.05).
I left some new stuff out in order to get the release done, some of the bugfixes were to long in cvs already. So lots of bugfixes in this release, especially in the quoting behaviour and the redirection parsing. A new feature is the possibility to change the namespace used for perl statements; also the export builtin now uses this perl namespace. An example was added to demonstrate the API to create custom shell applications.
As always it can be found at http://zoidberg.student.utwente.nl
Tested with perl5.6.2 and perl5.8.5, please let me know if you have any problems installing.

Subject: Can't stat e:: Unknown file or directory - why?
Message-Id: <mqp7q0l1j6he1dlg9nj4vibkvvfhf9crut@4ax.com>
I have a strange Perl problem I don't understand. I've written the
following program to scan different disks on a Windows server to look
for directory files. Works fine until it gets to 'e:' when I get this
warning:
Can't stat e:: Unknown file or directory
(If I don't have the "use warnings" in the code I get no message.)
There are folders and files on e:. I don't understand what the
problem is but I suspect there's some kind of syntax issue.
Here's the code. When I run it with this list of disks:
@disks = ('h:','g:','f:','e:','d:');
I get the "Can't stat:" warning when it gets to e:
If I change the line to this:
@disks = ('h:','g:','f:','e:\\','d:');
it reports the folders on e: properly. I just don't understand why?
use File::Find;
use warnings;
@disks = ('h:','g:','f:','e:','d:');
$rfile = "sharebug.txt";
open (OFILE, ">$rfile") || die "Can't Open $rfile: $!\n";
foreach $disk (@disks)
{
printf ">>>Search disk: %s\n", $disk;
printf OFILE ">>>Search disk: %s\n", $disk;
find (\&wanted, $disk);
}
close (OFILE);
exit;
sub wanted
{
$fname = $_;
if (-d $fname)
{
printf OFILE "$File::Find::name\n";
}
}

And to show your gratitude to us, you insult our friends, piss on the
carpet, and then have the utter gall to take offense when more civilized
people point out that your behavior is unacceptable. A five year old has
better manners than you.
Sorry, this is one "decent fella" who's had enough. You'll get no more
answers from me.

good one sherm.....make sure i see your msg by emailing me...not sure if

post.....and i have kill filed you, so if you want to reply back, you'll
have to email me back for me to get it....hopefully you actually had the
spine to email me with a real email address...
i insult back, when insulted....
if you want to say "making obviosu remarks about my abilities" is not an
insult, well, you're hiding behind softspeak....you don't know what i have
done, have accomplished, etc, therefore nothign is obvious....i could be a 6
foot 2 giant you would cower at meeting, or a paraplegic who you would feel
terible for all the insults......you don't know who i am and vice-versa.....
i have never ONCE insulted anyone unless i have gotten some sort of
dengrating remark...by all means stop answering my posts....that is a adult
thing to do....
but the moment you go and insult me, i strike back...just as hard as i want
to
and for the record, insulting people via newsgroups, when you don't know
them is in my opinion the most cowardly act of all
i said it before, and will say it again....i have heard of all the "good
people" who have left groups likes these because of the noise factors...stop
blaming JUST the newbies...the least common denominator in every f*cked up
realationship you have ever had is you! so stop the insults, stop the
noise, killfile those you hate, and this newsgroup will lose LESS of the
"good people"....
on a serious note i would really like to know, why are usenet groups so much
different here than the public ones like microsoft....i just don't get it
how things like this escaalte to such drastic proportions here, and over
there, the biggest problem we have is spam....i really wish someone new the
difference, because truth is, and it's not just about me, everyone benefits
from places like this....would like to live in both worlds

It isn't because I don't like _you_, it is because I don't like
_your behavior_.
Your behavior here reveals an anti-social parasite, sucking time
away from other members of the community.

Wow, I feel so offended. If you're going to insult me put some effort into
it, but again, effort isn't one of your strong points, is it?
Not quite sure why you think the insults you get are unwarranted, though.
You waste (an ever dwindling number of) people's time here posting questions
because you don't know the first thing about what you're doing and then feel
morally indignant for being told you're a lazy arse? Get over yourself
already.
And, like Uri, I don't killfile people no matter how annoying they are. If
you don't like my responses, find another free forum to post your
barely-literate ramblings in.

So, as soon as any random on usenet makes an off the cuff remark that
you don't like, you've already decided the most appropriate reaction is
to commit "the most cowardly act of all"?
Nice... That speaks volumes about you...

ok self imposed forum cop....then again, if you really didn't want to waste
people's time here, you could always email me personally as i invited to do
so earlier once this thread got out of control....someone else here decided
to do so, and he and i exchnaged more thoughts on this subject, WITHOUT
wasting everyone else's time...
unless of course this isn't about giving it to me, and it is about you
wanting to show everyone else how right you are...
but if you really do care about NOT wasting people's time and still feel the
need to insult me further, as you said it is warranted....my personal email
address is:
T A B L E C L O C K at A O L dot COM
although i am sure you will be posting more and more and more drivel about
me here, out in the open, not wasting people's time, etc. etc.
come matt, am sure you can find a way to conitnue this HERE, conitnue an

Subject: FAQ 9.21: How do I use MIME to make an attachment to a mail message?
Message-Id: <co0fj6$4oi$1@reader1.panix.com>
This message is one of several periodic postings to comp.lang.perl.misc
intended to make it easier for perl programmers to find answers to
common questions. The core of this message represents an excerpt
from the documentation provided with Perl.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
9.21: How do I use MIME to make an attachment to a mail message?
This answer is extracted directly from the MIME::Lite documentation.
Create a multipart message (i.e., one with attachments).
use MIME::Lite;
### Create a new multipart message:
$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
From =>'me@myhost.com',
To =>'you@yourhost.com',
Cc =>'some@other.com, some@more.com',
Subject =>'A message with 2 parts...',
Type =>'multipart/mixed'
);
### Add parts (each "attach" has same arguments as "new"):
$msg->attach(Type =>'TEXT',
Data =>"Here's the GIF file you wanted"
);
$msg->attach(Type =>'image/gif',
Path =>'aaa000123.gif',
Filename =>'logo.gif'
);
$text = $msg->as_string;
MIME::Lite also includes a method for sending these things.
$msg->send;
This defaults to using sendmail but can be customized to use SMTP via
Net::SMTP.

You should just be able to do:
my $multiline = param('multiline');
in your script. You are using CGI.pm (or CGI::Lite, or something like
that), right? If that doesn't do the trick, or you still don't
understand, please read the Posting Guidelines first, and then post a
small (10-20 lines is ideal), *COMPLETE* program that shows the
problem, along with a description of what is supposed to happen, and
what actually happens.

Prepend .* to your pattern.

"I could care less" represents the use of irony, comparable to "wow, I'm
impressed!" in response to a decidedly unimpressive statement. It doesn't
work when interpreted literally.

I know we are WWWAAYYYY off topic here, but...
"I could care less" is the lazy man's way of saying "I couldn't care less."
One who could care less, must care, or there wouldn't be any less he
could care.

'I could care less' is not wrong, it's sarcasm.
And it should be 'could you' not 'can you'... :)

Subject: QT Designer, puic, and kLed
Message-Id: <pan.2004.11.24.01.33.29.835633@linux.ban>
I'm using QT Designer and puic to add a simple gui to a perl script. Two
things are happening that I'm not sure about. First, QT Designer
complains about the xml (.ui) file being the wrong version. I have to
manually change the version in the .ui file from 3.3 to 3.2 for puic to
work. When I run the .pl file I get the error "No method to call for :
Qt::Led(QGroupBox, 'kLed3') at mydialog.pl line 66." Line 66 of the
script is:
kLed3 = Qt::Led(groupBox1, "kLed3");
puic -version gives PerlQt User Interface Compiler v0.70 for Qt version 3.3.1
KDE is 3.3.1, QT Designer is 3.3.1 and all the latest qt rpm's have been
installed from suse/supplementary/KDE. I'm running SuSE 9.1 pro.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Subject: Testing RPC::XML goes awry -- Newbie alert
Message-Id: <co03k0$t1j$1@ngspool-d02.news.aol.com>
I just installed ActivePerl on Windows XP2, downloaded RPC-XML-0.54, and
built and installed using nmake from VC++ 6.0.
The test phase went well until the 40_server.t test, when it blew up as in
the listing below.
Does anybody have any idea?
