Maybe the OP has a DAT drive that doesn't support tapes bigger than
2/4GB?

Subject: how to fill out a form and submit??
Message-Id: <lssKe.4492$Oy2.3437@tornado.tampabay.rr.com>
I want to write a perl script to fill out a form and submit it.
Is this how it is done?
print
"Location:http://www.somewhere.com/wwwboard/cgi-bin/wwwboard/wwwboard.pl?nam
e=cindy&subject=new&body=something";
Assuming that works..
How do I get it to continue the script instead of ending
after the print location?
Thanks

I've tried various perldoc incantations but haven't yet found where it
is it explained *why* it is necessary to declare subroutines in advance
of using them in order to avoid the following warning messages:
I thought the parentheses would identify the name as a subroutine
invocation.
Can some kind person point out TFM for me to R?
C:\Temp>perl t2.pl
Bareword found where operator expected at t2.pl line 10, near "$html
htmlhead"
(Missing operator before htmlhead?)
Bareword found where operator expected at t2.pl line 12, near "$html
htmltail"
(Missing operator before htmltail?)
C:\Temp>type t2.pl
#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
# sub htmlhead; # uncommenting these makes the warnings go away.
# sub htmltail;
open my $html, '>', 't.html' or die "unable to open t.html - $!";
print $html htmlhead();
print $html " foo\n";
print $html htmltail();
close $html or die "unable to close t.html - $!";
sub htmlhead {
my $html = <<EndOfHead;
<html>
<head><title>Test</title></head>
<body>
EndOfHead
return $html
}
sub htmltail {
my $html = <<EndOfTail;
</body>
</html>
EndOfTail
return $html
}

If you are not able to do things in the most appropriate manner due to some
bizarre reason, and you fail to explain what that bizarre reason is, how
are we supposed to help circumvent that bizarre limitation? Any solution
we propose from out of the darkness is also likely to run afoul of the same
bizarre, unexplained reason that prevents you from doing it right in the
first place.
(But in this case, "doing it right" is at least as likely to be modules,
rather than command line arguments in a system call.)

I don't. There are many debuggers one can use with Perl. Some of them use a
graphical interface, some of them run in a console, some support color syntax
highlighting, some don't.
If you're using a GUI app, have a look around its preferences panel. If it has
a web site, have a look around there for a manual and/or FAQ.

It's the debugger that comes with the standard library, running
in an xterm.

Well, the immediate question then is how did you turn *ON* syntax high-
lighting? Nothing in "perldoc perldebug" mentions that the built-in
debugger can do that, much less how to enable it. None of the variables
displayed with "o" look relevant to that.
Are you using the standard vanilla xterm, or the GNOME, KDE, or some other
terminal app? Are you certain it's not your terminal app that's doing the
highlighting?

I didn't. It seems to have come that way, at least in the Red
Hat distro.

Yes, I'm reasonably certain it's not native in the debugger
itself. I thought that someone here might have run into this
and would know where the syntax highlighting was coming from.
The 'man' command also has syntax highlighting, which I'd also
dearly love to turn off. As do 'vi' (actually vim) and 'ls',
but I've already figured those out.
I can see this having some utility in a text editor for certain
types of coding, but otherwise I think it's an abomination -
and I'm fairly ticked off that it's not obvious how to defeat
it.

It's xterm. The only thing I do differently is set a background
and text color (black and yellow, respectively) that I find easy
to work with.
Here's my command line:
xterm -bg black -fg yellow -title !* &

Beats me then. :-(
I'd try using a different terminal emulator - especially as it seems you
aren't too happy with xterm for a number of different apps. There's no
shortage of alternatives, certainly.
