Ahhhh. Right you are. I never would have known that was a dangerous
thing to do. This article helped me figure it out as well:
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/08/07/proxyobject.html?page=1
> Alternatives are passing the Member object (or just the address) as

Like this?
package Membership;
sub suspend {
$self = shift;
$member = shift;
# do suspension stuff
}
package Member;
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $self = {};
$self->{'membership'} = Membership->new($self);
bless ($self, $class);
return $self;
}
sub suspend {
$self->{'membership'}->suspend($self);
}
Doesn't this create another circular reference. I can see how the
references are more likely to go out of scope sooner. Wouldn't I need
to use the weakrefs here too?

I am guessing this is Similar to the example that Sinan gave earlier in
the thread?

Yeah, I am starting to get a bit confused as to whether or not the
Member, Membership aggregation idiom is the best design for what I am
trying to do.
I have a large club with Members. Each Member has a Membership and I
regularaly perform actions on their membership such as suspend,
activate, extend, etc... It didn't make sense (to me) to have all the
Membership actions be part of their Member object so I created a
Membership object for each Member. The Member object is focused more on
storing the members state information (address, age, etc...).
My OO design/analysis skills are weak so any thoughts on how to better
handle this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks A Million,
Derek Basch

Yes, I put it there to get an idea of the speed limit.
Liz Mattijsen came up with these:
empty => sub { my %a ; @a{ @list } = () },
empty1 => sub { my %a ; @a{ @list } = (undef) },
emptyN => sub { my %a ; @a{ @list } = (undef) x @list },
and empty1 is even faster than empty. <g>
(I assume that these just set the undef flag as well.)

Yes, that's more what I am looking for. Thanks, Uri and Anno too of
course.
My 'list' and 'range' (and 'empty') were meant as speed references; they
don't set all values to the same (and defined) constant.

On your system, 'list' isn't as near to 'for' as on the freebsd with
perl 5.8.6 here.
I still wish there were a construct that would deliver as many
<constant>s as requested.
Something like C<1...undef> maybe, but no: that would break existing
code.
This one is (just 1 or 2%) faster than "empty":
empty1 => sub { my %a ; @a{ @list } = undef },

hmm, i would expect the emptyN to assign real undefs to the
elements. the 1 version should assign a real one to the first
slot. there is a way to check for this (i recall with pseudohashes this
was important and maybe defined will help somehow) afaik. for sure some
devel:: module will be able to peek in and tell you what is there.

Yup agreed. Xpost is rarely needed, I have xposted before but it's a small

xposted to 5 groups [1] :-D.
[1] Ages ago I have contributed to a thread that was xposted in 13 (!) or

No idea. Posting to Usenet is not black art, you can do it manually via
telnet. Even if you write it all yourself in Perl (I once did as an
excersise) it doesn't take more then a few hours to have a working version
that posts test messages :-)

Wikipedia has a brief article, but I won't post a link because it
contains the word in cleartext (it's never a good idea to type the name
of trolls or vandals into cleartext messages). You ought to be able to
un-obfuscate the name easily enough (it has no dashes and can be
represented in 7-bit ASCII).

I've had success in the past using DBD::Sybase (it took me a long time
to figure that one out). AFAIK, this is the only way to connect to MSSQL
from a non-MS machine (which I needed to do at the time).

I hesitated to mention it, because a quick glance at the docs mentioned only
a few specific versions of MS-SQL, and was in general not very confidence-
inspiring. I'll keep it in mind in the future.
> (it took me a long time to figure that one out)
Yeah, it's not very obvious unless you know the history. As I understand it,
MS-SQL is more or less a fork of Sybase, so that the network protocol is more
or less the same.
> AFAIK, this is the only way to connect to MSSQL

Another approach would be to set up a DBD::Proxy server on the Windows box
that's running MS-SQL, and connect to that from just about anything. I've
gotten good results with that approach in the past - although I was writing
for "classic" MacPerl clients connecting to a MySQL server on Solaris.

You need to take a step back and learn how HTML works. The image has to
be available at a separate URL that you then reference in the HTML page.
In principle you can include in inline with the data: URI scheme, but
this is not widely supported in browsers (for which read IE).

#The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup

#the single line:
#
# subscribe perl-users
#or:
# unsubscribe perl-users
#
#to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
NOTE: due to the current flood of worm email banging on ruby, the smtp
server on ruby has been shut off until further notice.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
#To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
#to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
#where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
#For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
#perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
#sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
#answer them even if I did know the answer.
