Not necessarily. First, debug it as an external module. Then, when
things work, compile the C part into your executable. Eval the Perl
part (if needed) from your start-perl shim before doing perl_run()
(sp?).
But usually no Perl part is required at all; see how UNIVERSAL::*
methods are implemented in Perl proper.
Hope this helps,
Ilya

Ok, you have read something you found on google about this problem.
Hence, you know that MySQL 4.1 and up uses a new password hashing
algorithm, do you? And, why not looking into the MySQL docs when your
search at google fails? Please, read your problem's solution at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html

I think, it is a good idea to search for more detailed explanations
using google -- particularly, before starting a new thread here. I
suggest you try out every solution proposed on the website above,
there're just four of it.
Btw, I have had this problem a few days ago as a result of upgrading my
MySQL server too. And I can guarantee that the first solution mentioned
there is the easiest way to be satisfied, IMHO -- ok, a nice (closed
source) freeware tool I used on my windows box for many years to manage
the database wasn't updatable, but MySQL itself provides a small tool
with a similar functionality -- hence, it doesn't matter to me ;-)

fabian

You really couldn't make this up....

(I have already (in other threads) suggested one way in which MySQL
problems can be diagnosed, but since you didn't seem to be interested in
following my advice then, I doubt if you will now, and so I won't
repeat myself).
Anyway (in no particular order):
1. you haven't told us what the expected behaviour is
2. you haven't told us what the *actual* behaviour is.
3. you haven't read the posting guidelines (as you have been asked to do
on several occasions).
4. you haven't broken the problem down into the smallest possible piece
of code that demonstrates the issue.
5. you haven't told us where the failure is.
6. in short, you have given us *nothing* to go on.
Do you really expect us to set up an environment like yours, install
your script, run it, and then work through all *your* problems *ourselves*?
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Why do I feel like I'm beating my
head against a brick wall?

Read the documentation for HTML:Template. The answer to your question is
there. Look for the section on TMPL_LOOP.
http://search.cpan.org/~samtregar/HTML-Template-2.7/Template.pm
It looks like you are trying to print the data rather than pass it to
the template. You want to pass the data to the template, then print the
template. The docs for HTML::Template will explain how to do this.
I am not going to take the time to try to re-create your database on my
system to re-write your code so it works.
If there is something specific about the documentation for the TMPL_LOOP
tag in the HTML::Template docs, you can ask.

Whence you know your script rocks the boat since you cannot testing it?
Why not fixing your MySQL server first?
Why not using an alternative data source for testing (when no database
is available for the moment)?

Most of us *are* professional programmers. The amount of work you want
doing for you exceeds what can reasonably be expected of us: this has
been pointed out by several posters on several occasions. You are being,
quite simply, rude. In effect, your problems (or what we can divine of
them using our telepathic powers, since you never state them clearly),
are very probably quite simple to solve, but you have refused to attempt
any diagnosis despite the myriad methods that have been suggested to
you. I reckon another two hours should do it: you can have a special
rate of 147EUR per hour, though I'll guess I've already spent an hour
typing replies to you and sobbing quietly in the corner. Asking me for
more help implies acceptance of these terms.

Hi,
I would like to extract all the links from a html page, which I store
in a string variable.
For each link, I would also like to print out the link text, however,
omitting ALL possible tags in which the text could be embedded.
I'm looking for a regular expression, which does just that. Can
somebody help me out?

Message-Id: <42701368$0$540$ed2619ec@ptn-nntp-reader03.plus.net>
Hi
I am running apache2 in a chroot jail, with modperl
Apache/2.0.52 (Unix) mod_chroot/0.3 mod_perl/1.999.22 Perl/v5.8.0
I can't get Net::SMTP to set up a connection to my mailserver -
$smtp = Net::SMTP->new('mailhost.domain');
print STDOUT $smtp->domain,"\n";
$smtp->quit;
just gives me :
[error] Can't call method "domain" without a package
or object reference at /perl/www-feedback.cgi line 100.\n
Ruuning the same code as a stand alone perl script works OK.
I have etc/hosts and resolve.conf in the chroot jail, as well as
libresolv.so.2
Any ideas, or do you require further information ?
Cheers,
Pete

The new() failed.
Always do your own error checking!
use Net::SMTP;
use strict;
use warnings;
my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('mailhost')
or die "Net::SMTP new() failed: $@";

Speaking of obfuscation, what's "nice" about using
