Message-Id: <IqqCrw.v08@zorch.sf-bay.org>
The pure Perl module CGI::Session::Driver::oracle V 1.00
is available immediately from CPAN,
and from http://savage.net.au/Perl-modules.html.
On-line docs, and a *.ppd for ActivePerl are also
available from the latter site.
This module allows you to use Oracle to store sessions managed by CGI::Session.

Subject: ASTM checksum
Message-Id: <11op568i1bsgp37@corp.supernews.com>
Could I have some help calculating a checksum for data transmission to a
lab machine? Here are the ASTM specs for the checksum:
The checksum is computed by adding the binary values of the characters,
keeping the least significant eight bits of the result. Each character
in the message text is added to the checksum (modulo 256). The checksum
is an integer represented by eight bits, it can be considered as two
groups of four bits. The groups of four bits are converted to the ASCII
characters of the hexadecimal representation. The two ASCII characters
are transmitted as the checksum, with the most significant character first.
This is a sample message, where '40' is the checksum and the checksum is
calculated using the 7 through to the <ETX>:
<STX>7L|1|N<CR><ETX>40<CR><LF>
Thus the checksum is calculated with this portion of the string:
7L|1|N<CR><ETX>
Of course the <CR> and <ETX> are sent as chr(13) and chr(03), not as
they appear in the email here.
I have been working with unpack and the % operator but to no avail.
TIA

You should check the success of your system calls, like "bind" and "accept"

Subject: Win32::SqlServer 2.001
Message-Id: <IqqCs3.v46@zorch.sf-bay.org>
Two weeks ago I announced MSSQL::OlleDB 2.000. That name was not popular
with the people on the Perl module list (since the module is Windows-only),
so I've renamed the module to Win32::SqlServer and changed the version
number 2.001. I should add that this name much better describes the purpose
of the module. Here follows text from the original announcement, adapted to
the new name:
Despite the version number, this is actually a new module, but I versioned
it 2.001 as it it a successor to my older module MSSQL::Sqllib.
Win32::SqlServer is aimed to be the prime choice when you need to connect
to Microsoft SQL Server from Windows, and you do not have any requirement
to be portable to any other DB engine or platform. Win32::SqlServer uses the
OLE DB API to connect to SQL Server. With Win32::SqlServer you have access
to about all features in SQL Server 2005.
The module is on its way into CPAN. You can also download it from
http://www.sommarskog.se/mssqlperl/index.html.
