I "think" I have a need to have a layer of something between my data
and the actual calls.
Here's what I percieve as my layers.
1. data. This is from an excel spread sheet representing design rules
for a process. Happens to be for Semi-Conductor Integrated circuit.
2. The functions that know how to deal with the keywords represented in
the data. Such as space, width and area for 3 of the very simple
rules.
In a past life I used CLIPS, an AI tool. In it there existed rules and
facts. An engine matched facts with rules and fired the rules. The
order of firing was random.
This is what I have
data is the facts
subroutines are the rules.
At the very worst and probably the most difficult to maintain would be
the if-then-else structure hundreds, maybe thousands of line long.
I need this to be almost like an event driven GUI, but where the data
drive the program, not where the program looks at the data and drives.
(SOS)
I believe if there were some method to have an engine that would match
data up with functions without to having to manually type all those
if-then-else this would allow me to easily expand the amount of
keywords.
I'm not even sure if I'm asking the right questions.
What i am sure about it this.
if-then-else would not be easily expandable. a maintence nightmare.
I need perl for transportability

I don't think I entirely understand what you're asking, but one way of
doing something like this is having a hash of anon subs. That way you
have a main loop that goes through the data, looking each one up in the
hash and executing the given code.

Subject: How to redefine a sub during testing?
Message-Id: <ec238n$f4l$1@reader2.panix.com>
During testing it'd often be *very handy* to be able to redefine
a function/subroutine. (E.g., subroutine Foo::A gets a particular
value from subroutine Foo::B, which in turn performs some elaborate
websearch to get this value; it would simplify the testing of Foo::A
tremendously to be able to replace Foo::B with a simple sub that
returns a hard-coded value, thus decoupling the testing of Foo::A
from the testing of Foo::B.)
When subclassing is an option, that's usually the way to go, but
now I'm dealing with packages that are not using the OO calling
model, so this is not an option.
I'm thinking that there must be some "symbol table surgery" that
I may be able to perform to temporarily replace the original sub
with another one, but I'm a bit shaky on symbol table manipulations.
Be that as it may, any advice on how to redefine the likes of Foo::B
during testing would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the advice though it was not what I was looking for.
http://perl.apache.org/start/index.html
states that "mod_perl is the marriage of Apache and Perl",
so I asked the mother first via alt.apache.configuration.
No answer for two days, so I tried asking the father,
And got "ask the mother!"
Child seems not to be grown up old enough
to participate in usenet, is it?
So it seems, I have to try to figure it out myself,
and tell the result both of them...
Inserting "ScriptAlias /hallo /path/to/nph-script/nph-test.cgi"
into httpd.conf is an easy solution if you are allowed to.
Otherwise maybe Apache::Fake, but haven't tried this yet.
Or maybe very simple... ideas are still welcome,

You didn't quite get the "no one cares about apache configuration here"
part. This is a group to discuss Perl coding problems, and your
question has nothing to do about Perl and everything to do about apache
and configuring nph scripts. If you want to post off-topic questions
don't get all huffy when no one responds. You'd be better off to follow
up in the apache group as that's where most people would look for this
kind of answer.

Your statement above is confusing. John Krahn's code *is* using the
Socket module.

[For future reference, some mention of 'Windows' or 'Windows drive
mapping' would have been useful here, for context. A lot of people here
have never heard of 'net use'.]
Note that you can get a list of currently allocated driver letters with
Win32API::File::getLogicalDrives, and you can map a network share to a
system-assigned letter by calling Win32::NetResource::AddConnection with
$Connection (which should really be called $Flags) set to
CONNECT_REDIRECT but no LocalName member in %NETRESOURCE. See also
http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms739056.aspx
which is the function that implements AddConnection.

Apologies for replying to myself, but on rereading I've realised that
this reply is completely unsuited to the OP's skill level... :(
For example, you can get the list you want with
use Win32API::File qw/getLogicalDrives/;
my %assigned = map { s/:\\$//; ($_, 1) } getLogicalDrives;
my @free = grep !$assigned{$_}, A..Z;
# or for just the first free letter
use List::Util qw/first/;
my $free = first { !$assigned{$_} } A..Z;
This is a standard Perl technique for finding set difference. You could
also use e.g. Set::Scalar from CPAN.

This troll is also somewhat consistent; he flamed Randal (RANDAL!) in

My guess is he has done more. Run a whois on his posting address. You'll
find that he is posting from a block allocated to "North Carolina
Research and Education Network". Then, do a Google Groups search for
"randal convicted". You'll find another message just like this one, also
posted from an IP address owned by NCREN:
<news:1138831289.414235.87160@g44g2000cwa.googlegroups.com>
IIRC, this guy posted other such messages, but they don't seem to exist
in the archive.
Just another sicko. I think he is using different ISPs in the same area,
and those ISP lease blocks from NCREN.

Its MO seems to be to look at the personal websites in our cutlines and
troll for something it can smear with (even though it's something we
willingly admit publicly).
The odd thing is that folks tend to have higher regard for those who
are willing to publicly admit thier shortcomings (as you, Sinan,
expressed regarding John). If the troll is trying to wreck people's
image, it is having the opposite effect.
My website (non-website) isn't really much of a website - it's just a
contact page (it's mainly there in case an old friend googles my name
looking for me). But maybe I'll put something outlandish on it like,
"I'm a convicted child-molester, rapist, wife beater, and axe murderer
who is running this website from a federal prison" and see if this
troll takes the bait.
Well, then again, what's the point?

Just FYI: I just got a response from the nice people at NCREN, and they
tell me the posts are coming from a public access PC in a public library.

Subject: Makefile.PL requires parameters for Sendmail::Milter
Message-Id: <1155812830.407241.294870@i42g2000cwa.googlegroups.com>
I am trying to install the module Sendmail::Milter. The Makefile.PL is
unusual in that it requires parameters, namely
"path-to-sendmail-source" and "path-to-sendmail-obj.dir" . I have no
idea what to give it. I'm wondering if this means I need to build
sendmail from source in order to install this module. Any help would
be greatly appreciated!

AFAIR the module uses library included in sendmail distribution.
Install sendmail sources from tarbal or install sendmail source package
for your distribution. The module wants to make sure that library used
is "as provided" by sendmail binaries version you use.

Hmmm... sorry to be dense, but...
1) Do I need to build sendmail from source?
2) What are the 2 parameters I need to provide to Makefile.PL
