EU::FC installs a fake config module (Config_m.pm) in Perl/site/lib.
It contains the line:
ld='gcc'
Best to change that to:
ld='g++'
When building perl modules you need to load those fake values, which you
achieve by running 'perl -MConfig_m Makefile.PL' instead of the more usual
'perl Makefile.PL'.
Sometimes (eg when building Inline::C ... I think) you need to set the
environment variable 'perl5opt' to '-MConfig_m'. That means that every time
the perl executable gets called, Config_m.pm is loaded. (Perhaps better to
simply set perl5opt and then unset it only if/when it causes a problem ...
not sure.) I haven't yet found a module that builds on MinGW-built perl but
fails to build on ActivePerl using Extutils::FakeConfig. The negative side
of EU::FC is the kludginess of having to invoke the '-MConfig_m' argument.
Uri mentioned 'vanilla perl' - also worth investigating.

Subject: Get Directiry size in windows
Message-Id: <1157498027.835224.70080@h48g2000cwc.googlegroups.com>
I'm trying to get the total directory size using perl. Here is a
snippet of what i've got now that doesn't work:
$dirsize = `dir C:\MyDirectory\somefolder . | findstr "File(s)"`;
print "$dirsize\n";
If I run the command from the command prompt it returns the correct
line (which i can later parse out to get the byte count.) but when I
run the perl script it returns results from the directory that the
script is run from not from what i specify in the command.
What am i doing wrong here? Or maybe there is a better way to do
it.....
I'd appreciate anyones help.
Thankx,

Why is there a dot in there? You basically gave dir two arguments, the
current directory, and something which you think is
C:\My Directory\somefolder, but it isn't. You should always turn warnings
on when programming in Perl, and read the FAQ list (yes, all of it):
perldoc -q path

Win32::DirSize (search.cpan.org is your friend). If you don't or can't
install modules try something like :
$dirsize = `dir \"C:\\Program Files\\\" | findstr \"File(s)\"`;
or
$dirsize = `dir \"C:/Program Files/\" | findstr \"File(s)\"`;
The bottom line is that backticks get interpolated just like double
quotes. I have escaped the other double quotes \" above. Hope it helps.

Scott,
The value of the site (to me) is that you can search not only Perl but
also CSS, JavaScript, HTML, and MySQL - languages I often use in
conjunction with Perl. I got tired of opening a browser tab for every
single language I use so I wrote this tool.
Also, from the site: "The content that appears on this site is not
written by quickref.org. This site serves only as a search engine to
some of the best freely available documentation."
I'm not claiming to create new Perl docs - just a place you can get
Perl docs and whatever other docs you need in the same browser tab.
I'm very open to feedback on how to make it more useful.
Thanks,
- Robby

Aargh, I was waiting for the metro together with Abe, about an hour ago,

How about adding documentation on how to post on Usenet and how not to
(like: don't top post?)
Doesn't it make you wonder that people reply *under* what you write?
Finally, I see you added the adsense. To me you're making money by framing
documentation written by people in their free time for free. This might
piss off people. I would be pissed off if you did it with anything I have
written without my permission.

This newsgroup is not for the purpose of discussing your site, so we are
straying WAY off topic here. This will be my final post in this thread.
I also use Perl in conjunction with CSS, HTML and MySQL. I have not
found it cumbersome at all to search the docs for each of these in a
separate tab in my browser. In fact, I would think that that would be
easier than using the interface on your site, which does not know which
of several technologies I need information on.
Many people use Perl for purposes other than CGI, and would have no
interest in having a CSS or HTML resource (or PHP, or Ruby, or
Javascript) intertwined with the perl docs.

It could not be less useful. Did you even test the input method?

Not only that, he is making that money by mooching off bandwidth from
cpan.org.
It would have been one thing if the OP had put the docs on his site (I
think the Artistic License allows this) and was using his own paid
bandwidth to serve the docs.
At this point, the OP is stealing, or, at least attempting to steal
bandwidth for commercial gain to himself. Regardless of legality, I
consider such behavior immoral.

Your website will never be quicker than my filesystem, so whether
or not I have local copies IS germane to the utility of your website.
And we (here in the Perl newsgroup) _all_ have local copies of the
perl docs, they are part of a normal install.

Spam, multiposting, top-posting and advertising from you. Hmmmm...
I don't feel compelled to visit, given this reputation that you've
built for yourself. Good luck with it though.

How could anything on the WWW be faster than information on your own local
HD? If you've solved that problem, then you really got something
interesting.

If you are programming Perl then you have a local copy. It comes with Perl
and is installed with Perl and is freely available to you even without a
connection to the Internet. Can your system beat that?

Wow, really? Unfortunately I already found a list at http://cpan.org.

What about "spending your time on something useful"?

OK. I found out what the problem was. The author has released new
versions of the module as beta releases. He doesn't want to update
CPAN with anything newer than 1.3. So to get the bulk of the new
functions, you need to manually locate a newer version, 1.50.5 at the
time of writing, and manually install it.
