IMO, you should have a solid knowledge of HTML before learning 
CGI, because you will constantly have to debug CGI scripts 
that output HTML, and if you don't know HTML, you won't be 
able to tell why your scripts are failing.

Subject: No execution of system calls in cygwin-perl after update
Message-Id: <1156450939.416814.47410@m73g2000cwd.googlegroups.com>

Hi there,

I recently had to update my old cygwin installation to a newer version.
I'm not quite sure what version I updated from or to - but the old
version came with perl 5.6, the one I updated to with version 5.8. This
is also the reason why I had to run the update.
So far so good.

In my perl scripts there are a lot of calls to application installed on
this particular windows system (such as MS compiler or MKS Source
Integrity). On the old cygwin-perl everything was just running fine.
Since I made the update none of those system calls seem to be executed.
I tried running the same command lines from within the cygwin shell -
and they work fine. From within perl they just seem to be ignored. I
don't get any error messaged (at least not from the perl debugger or
the shell). The call itself returns on $? just 256 which I didn't find
anything helpful about.

Do I have to set any permissions to the perl interpreter that existed
prior the update and have been over-written by it?

Can anybody help me?

Cheers,
Mac

I agree. It like people asking "I want to hammer a nail, but I don't
want to use a hammer." People who ask such questions should really
justify why they can't or won't use modules. Otherwise, they are just
wasting your time.

The problem is, then they start justifying why, and you find out one
of a couple things.

* They're using a cut-rate web host, only have FTP access, and want a
  module that's compiled.

* They're using Perl without the support of their organization, which
  means they can't officially ask for modules to be installed.

* They have the false notion that modules are slow.

Trying to convince people in any of these circumstances that they
should use modules is a futile effort; once you've recommended the use
of modules, the best you can do is move on.

See man formail again:

When  formail  has to determine the sender's address, every RFC822
conforming mail address is allowed.  Formail
will always strip down the address to its minimal form (deleting
excessive comments and whitespace).

The regular expression that is used to find `real' postmarks is:
       "\n\nFrom [\t ]*[^\t\n ]+[\t ]+[^\n\t ]"

If a Content-Length: field is found in a header, formail will copy the
number of specified bytes  in  the  body
verbatim before resuming the regular scanning for message boundaries
(except when splitting digests or Berkeley
mailbox format is assumed).

Any header lines immediately following the leading `From ' line that
start with `>From ' are considered to be a
continuation  of  the `From ' line.  If instructed to rename the `From '
line, formail will change each leading
`>' into a space, thereby transforming those lines into normal RFC822
continuations.

RFC 2822 says that newlines can be in headers. The question is whether
newlines can appear in the "^From " separator as well. Unfortunately
this is part of the mbox format and not covered by RFC 2822. AFAIK, mbox
is not specified anywhere other than conflicting code implementations.

If Anno's expert is right, then your solution will work. I think I'll go
with that since I've yet to see a newline in the "^From " line in practice.

That won't work. I've seen mailboxes that don't use the "@".

I'm trying to do a little more than simply croak since it's very common
for MUAs to fail to escape the "^From " as "^>From ". Call it
"permissive mode" :)

As far as what I'm seeing "in the wild" this is true. I'll make this
assumption until one of my users complains.

I've seen this:

   From klopp Mon Jan  5 08:50:15 +0100 2004

but as far as the date I think you're right, and that's why my pattern
checks for it.

I do some additional validation in the case that an unescaped "^From "
appears in the body.

This discussion is useful. It turns out that I could (and probably

That plain "klopp" would be local delivery (from one user to another of
the same machine).  It would have to be a user name, whatever that implies
across mail-capable systems.  A general mail-address recognizer should
accept it.

Well, you (and the other who said this shouldn't be happening) are right 
about the example I provided - it does not show the behavior I'm 
describing though it is essentially the same code where I do see the 
issue!!  As I stated I just wrote the code to illustrate what I'm doing 
and what I'm seeing in the debugger - also yes there was a little "bug" 
in there that the $yes variable was getting set to "ye" rather than 
"yes" as intended, no biggie for the issue though.

Frankly, I have no idea what's going on and I've tried a little to track 
it down so I could repost something you guys could see too but it's true 
that in the example I posted I can clearly see $1 and $& even in the 
debugger, everything looks perfect whereas in the code I'm running 
that's not the case.  In the code I'm running too I've tested the regex 
I'm using via copy/paste inside the bugger, evaluating something like 
$str =~ /([a-z]*)s/; print $1; and the $1 comes through in that 
scenario.

I don't foreclose the possibility that there might be something here I'm 
just clueless about.

But I can tell you that this issue of not being able to see regular 
expression status in the debugger is not new to me, I had perceived this 
as an issue before this post, though I made this post because I felt not 
only was I not seeing the regular expression stuff, it seemed like 
running my program under the debugger was also changing how my program 
ran!  I'm not sure of that right now though.

Anyway, I still don't have a simple example that shows the problem but I 
still see it happening in my full version, I'll try to repost an example 
that is definitely reproducible for me.

FYI, these are the libraries I'm using at the top of my file:

use LWP::UserAgent;
use XML::TreeBuilder;
use Mail::Sender;

I'll hopefully post back with some better info, sorry I don't have some 
code that clearly shows the problem, but I wanted to at least reply 
now...

Thanks -- didn't know this. But the more I think about it, the more I am convinced I need a real 
multidimensional hash. It will have several hundred elements at least and I may need to delete / 
replace / save to disk etc. complete branches of the hash.

So I think I will stick to my original idea, stuff it into a sub like this:

sub resolve
{
	my ($tmp, $path) = @_;
	$tmp = $tmp->{$_} for split '\.', $path;
	return $tmp;
}

my %data;
$data{a}{b}{c}{d} = "alphabet";
printf "data at 'a.b.c.d' is: %s\n", resolve(\%data, "a.b.c.d");

unless somebody comes up with a better idea to do the same thing...

Put together GUI with a textbox, update the textbox using File::Tail.

You might also want to consult the Perl-Tk FAQ, question 18.1.

PS: You might want to use Perl-Tk for the GUI so that your program run on 
other platforms too.

thanks.  Yea I have the part that tails the file working (works in

Message-Id: <1156476933.820380.311500@i3g2000cwc.googlegroups.com>

I'm having a problem and wondered if anyone else
has come across something like this.

I have a customer with a legacy NT4.0 system.
A requirement came up to run several jobs in
the background and capture the output of STDOUT
and STDERR for later analysis.

Code (example only)

HELLO.BAT
echo Hello World this is STDOUT
This line will produce an error to STDERRR
echo

posix.pl
#! perl -w

use Proc::Background qw( timeout_system ) ;
print("Hello World STDOUT from Perl") ;
my @t = timeout_system( 5, "c:\\Perl\\bin\\HELLO.BAT") ;
die("STDERR from Perl") ;

POSIX.BAT
perl posix.pl >log 2>&1

This gets

log
STDERR from Perl
Hello World STDOUT from Perl

But nada, zip, from the process that has been backgrounded.

This is NT4 service pack six
Active Perl-5.8.8.817 for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread.

Any ideas?  I'm a UNIX head, so windows is a little
strange for me.  POSIX should let you do this.

Cheers,
Mark Addinall.

 Under jobs on boston craigslist I searched for xslt and got 222 hits,
I got none for RXParse. That doesn't mean it isn't great, just that no
one in boston is looking to hire anyone based on that unless it's a
tool that is part of some other application.

 I'm not an xslt expert, but you need to elaborate on that. Obviously
programming in assembly language is not very popular, although it might
be optimized for machines.

 Since humans write code for machines, humans need languages as well,
and when problems get very complex, high level languages can provide
many usefull features to help humans. I once replaced a sort done in
assembly language with a sort done in pascal. The pascal sort turned
out to be faster because it was a better sort algorithm, and the
assembly code was hard to figure out what it did anyway.

If you search the archives for this newsgroup, you will see that Matt
was almost certainly applying for the job of "sarcasm". :-)
