Subject: [perl-python] 20050113 looking up syntax
Message-Id: <1105699357.565028.107750@c13g2000cwb.googlegroups.com>
while programing in Python, one can lookup syntax or info for keywords
or modules within Python.
In the command line, type
python
to get into the python interactive program. then type
help()
>From there one can type any keyword or module name to find out the
syntax or info. Everything is self-contained and self-explanatory.
to exit help, type control-d.
if you haven't tried already, you can type 1+1 while running python.
The result will be displayed interactively. So in this way, Python can
be used as a calculator.
---------------------
for perl syntax lookup, use perldoc in the command line. For example:
perldoc perl
use 'perldoc -f functionName' for specific function. example:
perldoc -f qq
note that keywords cannot be looked up with -f. For basic keywords like
if, while..., use
perldoc perlop
Master 'perldoc perl' as a way to get familiar of what info are
available and what subroutine or aspect of perl is in what section of
the documentation associated with what documentation name abbreviation.
Master 'perldoc perldoc' to know all its power of options and
flexibility. If you use emacs, in particular you want to add the -t
option. Master the unix text editor vi to learn the navigation system
of perldoc. The basics are: control-f for page down, control-v for page
up, q for exit. Also, one may wish to peruse 'perldoc perlfaq' to
acquaint yourself about the preamble of nine volumes of perl's FAQ.

I will keep that in mind.
My Perl book (which is not the best one) mentioned only the &foo call.

Not at all.
I have realized that there is a difference between calling &foo, foo,
foo() and so on.
The example you postetd above (Thanks for that) gave me an idea of what
might go wrong when using &foo;
The rest might become clearer as I walk on learning.
Thanks again

Thank you for letting me learn an expression I hadn't encountered before.
I found it explained on
http://www.eurofound.eu.int/emire/ITALY/UNATANTUM-IT.html.
(I wonder what its etymology is - "una" is feminine, and "tantum" looks
like Latin neuter or masculine accusative.)

Subject: another 'POST from perl' question
Message-Id: <71JFd.16725$hc7.10938@trnddc08>
Hi,
I've searched for several weeks, and I've found code that should allow
me to post from my perl script. I continue to fail, though.
Admittedly, I am not good with OOP (other than VB). I'm trying to post
so as to process credit card info, and authorize.net states that I must
POST with a query string (?), but don't use GET. In short, I've tried:
use CGI; use LWP::UserAgent; use HTTP::Request;
use HTTP::Status; $cgi = new CGI;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $submit_str = "x_login=$acct_id&x_tran_key=$tran_key";
my $request = new HTTP::Request 'POST', $transaction_server;
$request->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$request->content($submit_str);
my $response = $ua->request($request);
$resp = $response->content;
if ($response->is_success) { print "Success"; }
else { print "Fail"; }
and I've tried a combination of variations:
my $response = $ua->request(POST $transaction_server,
['x_login' => $acct_id, 'x_tran_key' => $tran_key],);
including passing my data as a query_string, but I just can't make it to
is_success. I also can't decipher the hash that LWP appears to return.
I've looked at cpan, perl.com, and my cookbook, but to no avail. Tech
support doesn't support scripts, so they're little help.
Any suggestions or help? I apologize for my ignorance.
Thank you,
-jd

Subject: Re: another 'POST from perl' question
Message-Id: <beGdnXUfaavu-nrcRVn-3w@adelphia.com>
comp.lang.perl no longer exists - I've trimmed it from the groups list. This
isn't really a CGI question either, but I don't frequent that group. I'll
leave it to the people who do live there to trim it from the list if they
see fit.
> so as to process credit card info, and authorize.net states that I must

Good advice. When you issue a GET, your form content appears at the end of
the URI - and URIs are logged by web servers. So, whenever you're sending
info that you wouldn't want to see in server logs - such as credit card
numbers - don't use GET.
Hmmm... your script seems incomplete, so I'm assuming it begins with the
usual:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
> use CGI; use LWP::UserAgent; use HTTP::Request;
> use HTTP::Status; $cgi = new CGI;
> my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
> my $submit_str = "x_login=$acct_id&x_tran_key=$tran_key";
> my $request = new HTTP::Request 'POST', $transaction_server;
> $request->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
> $request->content($submit_str);
> my $response = $ua->request($request);
That looks pretty convoluted. Any particular reason you're creating the
HTTP::Request object manually? Using LWP::UserAgent's post() method would
be simpler:
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $response = $ua->post($transaction_server,
{ 'x_login' => $acct_id,
'x_tran_key' => $tran_key
});
Now, judging by your description of their requirements, it appears they want
*both* a query string appended to the URL, and POST-ed form data. That is,
the rough equivalent of what would happen with an HTML form element like
this:
<form action="http://foo.invalid/cgi-bin/hitme.cgi?foo=1;bar=2"
method="POST">
... input elements ...
</form>
That's odd, but not unheard-of. They might, for instance, want to have one
or two specific pieces of information appear in their server logs, without
having *everything* included.
So, to do that with LWP, you need to construct the proper URI to pass to
post() in $transaction_server. That's just a simple string, not an object -
but we can use a URI object to easily encode the values properly and create
the string:
my $uri_object = URI->new('http://foo.invalid/cgi-bin/hitme.cgi');
$uri_object->query_form('foo'=>1, 'bar'=>2);
my $transaction_server = $uri_object->as_string();
> I've looked at cpan, perl.com, and my cookbook, but to no avail. Tech
> support doesn't support scripts, so they're little help.
You should also ask tech support if they don't *support* scripts, or if they
don't *allow* scripts. There's a *huge* difference between the two - the
first simply means you're on your own, but the second could mean they're
checking the user-agent string on the server, or doing some other means of
checking for and denying access to scripts.

If the "name" of the file is under the control of (possibly
untrusted) users, then they can have arbitrary code executed. Not too
much time ago an user posted his CGI code here asking how someone got
to hack his page: do you wonder ho they managed to do it?

Subject: daemonizing a process AND capture stdout, stderr
Message-Id: <41e77c2e$1@dnews.tpgi.com.au>
Dear all,
I've written a front end that kicks off various unix processes. I want to
completely daemonize each process so that even if a user were to kill his
front end, the process would continue to run without interruption. This
isn't too difficult to accomplish, there's even a module that will do it all
for you: Proc::Daemon.
The tricky bit is that I want to be able to capture stdout and stderr from
the script in my front end.
How can I daemonize a process but still capture it's output?
Cheers!

Thanks for the tip, but if it works, its technically not wrong. It's

For any others who weren't aware of qx, I wrote a few lines to spit
some stuff out and demonstrate its use.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

CGI.pm will take care of the file uploading, while the DBI module takes

I'm bored and I saw your post, so this is how I would do it.
I am assuming you have the package Mail::Sendmail installed. If not,
remove the use Mail::Sendmail; line, and then follow this as a template
for sending yourself the message.
http://www.perlfect.com/articles/sendmail.shtml
Here is my script, note that it sends mail no matter what. Just check
the var's to see if they are empty if you don't want mail daily.
Let me know if this helps!

The one does not exclude the other. There is no reason to discourage
beginners who want to explore how things work from doing so. After a
while they will likely be using CGI.pm to some extent (when efficiency
is not an issue, that is).
