A bit of Googling seems to show that this is just one of many

The announcement you were plonking.   I got the names mixed up; sorry.

I wanted to make clear that neither I nor my publisher were
responsible for posting spam on this newsgroup.

Which is good, because Sherm didn't make one.  We're all pretty sure you 
had nothing to do with Casey's announcement either, though.

Given the other examples Tad has found, I doubt anyone is willing to 
believe you. I am hoping your ISP takes this seriously as well.

Incidentally, your signature delimiter is incorrect: It should be two 
dashes followed by a space followed by a newline.

Posting-Frequency: 2 times a month

Announcement: "What Emacs lisp modules can help with programming Perl"

    Preface

        Emacs is your friend if you have to do anything comcerning software
        development: It offers plug-in modules, written in Emacs lisp
        (elisp) language, that makes all your programmings wishes come
        true. Please introduce yourself to Emacs and your programming era
        will get a new light.

    Where to find Emacs/XEmacs

        o   Unix:
            http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html
            http://www.xemacs.org/

        o   Unix Windows port (for Unix die-hards):
            install http://www.cygwin.com/  which includes native Emacs 21.x.
            and XEmacs port

        o   Pure Native Windows port
            http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html
            ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/windows/setup.exe

        o   More Emacs resources at
            http://tiny-tools.sourceforge.net/  => Emacs resource page

Emacs Perl Modules

    Cperl -- Perl programming mode

        http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/ILYAZ/cperl-mode/
        http://math.berkeley.edu/~ilya/software/emacs/
        by Ilya Zakharevich

        CPerl is major mode for editing perl files. Forget the default
        `perl-mode' that comes with Emacs, this is much better. Comes
        standard in newest Emacs.

    TinyPerl -- Perl related utilities

        http://tiny-tools.sourceforge.net/

        If you ever wonder how to deal with Perl POD pages or how to find
        documentation from all perl manpages, this package is for you.
        Couple of keystrokes and all the documentaion is in your hands.

        o   Instant function help: See documentation of `shift', `pop'...
        o   Show Perl manual pages in *pod* buffer
        o   Grep through all Perl manpages (.pod)
        o   Follow POD references e.g. [perlre] to next pod with RETURN
        o   Coloured pod pages with `font-lock'
        o   Separate `tiperl-pod-view-mode' for jumping topics and pages
            forward and backward in *pod* buffer.

        o   Update `$VERSION' variable with YYYY.MMDD on save.
        o   Load source code into Emacs, like Devel::DProf.pm
        o   Prepare script (version numbering) and Upload it to PAUSE
        o   Generate autoload STUBS (Devel::SelfStubber) for you
            Perl Module (.pm)

    TinyIgrep -- Perl Code browsing and easy grepping

        [TinyIgrep is included in Tiny Tools Kit]

        To grep from all installed Perl modules, define database to
        TinyIgrep. There is example file emacs-rc-tinyigrep.el that shows
        how to set up dattabases for Perl5, Perl4 whatever you have
        installed

        TinyIgrep calls Igrep.el to to do the search, You can adjust
        recursive grep options, set search case sensitivity, add user grep
        options etc.

        You can find latest `igrep.el' module at
        <http://groups.google.com/groups?group=gnu.emacs.sources> The
        maintainer is Jefin Rodgers <kevinr <AT> ihs.com>.

    TinyCompile -- To Browse grep results in Emacs *compile* buffer

        TinyCompile is a minor mode for *compile* buffer from where
        you can collapse unwanted lines or shorten file URLs:

            /asd/asd/asd/asd/ads/as/da/sd/as/as/asd/file1:NNN: MATCHED TEXT
            /asd/asd/asd/asd/ads/as/da/sd/as/as/asd/file2:NNN: MATCHED TEXT

            -->

            cd /asd/asd/asd/asd/ads/as/da/sd/as/as/asd/
            file1:NNN: MATCHED TEXT
            file1:NNN: MATCHED TEXT

Hi Rich,

Could you please explain in detail??
See, I've chmod 777 to the cgi script. Would that still not enough??
I've considered maybe it cant write anything on cgi-bin directory, coz
from the Net::FTP module, I've learnt that the retrieved file would
'temporary' located at the current working directory.
But While i run the script manually it works, never show the error
message and i can put the file to another directory after.
Or while i GET the file i should force it to store on another
directory??
I'd done like this:
$ftp->GET("the file i want to retrieve", "the location i want to put
temporary of the file");
ie : $ftp->GET("image.jpg", "http://231.12.255.1/folder/image.jpg");
But it showed me the error : couldnt find the file.

Hear from you Rich!!

Hi John,

That's correct, the directory listing was MS-DOS on my FTP server.
Then I changed to Unix, but it doesnt work...still the same error

??? You're *killfiling me* because I had a comment line that exceeded 80 
lines ???  For the record, my perl executable didn't puke on this.  In 
fact, it didn't even raise a warning.  I guess ActiveState''s perl is at 
least smart enough to know that a comment should be treated as such.

The problem wasn't the length of the lines in the file at your end.  The 
problem was that when posted to Usenet (or, actually, when read on 
Usenet), extra newlines got inserted after 80 characters.  When copying 
and pasting the text to try to compile the code, this caused things that 
were comments in the original not to be comments in the cut'n'pasted 
version.  My guess is that Sinan decided it wasn't worth the trouble to 
put the code back the way it was, at least that would be my thought.

> Thanks for not helping,

There are so many posts in this newsgroup each day that only the people 
who don't make helping take extra effort actually get helped.  As soon 
as the potential helpee sees something like this, the reaction is 
"Next!"  This is explained in more detail in the posting guidelines that 
appear here frequently, which you should probably (re)read.
