I'm a novice Perl programmer but an intermediate coder in general and
am hoping someone can point me in the right direction on this...
Through an online interface, my cell phone provider allows me to enter
calendar events that sync with my phone. This has always been
pointless b/c I don't want to have to update my calendar app (MS
Outlook, Sunbird, Google Calendar, etc) and then also have to do it on
my phone calendar.
If I get a csv dump of my calendar, can I write a script that will
enter all the events into the web form for me?

Yes, but that is about "ISO 8859-1", not about "ISO-8859-1".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8859
<quote>
The ISO 8859-n encodings only contain printable characters, and were
designed to be used in conjunction with control characters mapped to the
unassigned bytes. To this end a series of encodings registered with the
IANA add the C0 control set (control characters mapped to bytes 0 to 31)
from ISO 646 and the C1 control set (control characters mapped to bytes
127 to 159) from ISO 6429, resulting in full 8-bit character maps with
most, if not all, bytes assigned. These sets have ISO-8859-n as their
preferred MIME name or, in cases where a preferred MIME name isn't
specified, their canonical name. Many people use the terms ISO 8859-n
and ISO-8859-n interchangeably.
</quote>
It is a silly difference, but you used the MIME-name. The Unicode
Consortium's documents aren't clean in this aspect either, you can find
both terms on the same page and wonder if they mean the same thing.
And there are for some reason still 3 XXX-s in
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf (PAD, HOP, SGCI).

I think the wording of
"The CGI.pm module (available from CPAN)...."
should read something like:
"The CGI.pm module (which is a core Perl module)......"

Before we continue helping this guy, consider:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS06-042.mspx
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Internet
Explorer handles long URLs in when visiting websites using HTTP 1.1
protocol and compression. An attacker could exploit the
vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page that
could potentially allow remote code execution if a user viewed the
Web page. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability
could take complete control of an affected system.

use base64 encoding on the compressed data, which might work when the
compression works well. Other, and maybe better option, is using sessions
and using the session id in the URL.

Wow, I'm impressed with your ability to Google. I bow down to the
idiocy that is you.
Yes, I used to be a regular in this NG. I've been programming since
around '95, but I've gotten myself into a nice little rut where I
pretty much write the same type of thing, over and over. But back then,
I posted under a different name; nowadays, it's just too much trouble
to go through FreeAgent to make the occassional post, when I can use
Google more quickly.
Not that it's any of your business, but I currently own a web design
firm with more than 15 employees. My job is now day-to-day management
and the occassional debugging of programs, so while I used to be the
programmer, I really don't write programs to any large degree. Learn to
be nice; you'll probably be asking me for a job one day.
Not that you'll believe me. Not that I care.
You may think that you know everything, but as you become an adult,
you'll realize that there's more to life (and programming) than what
you think you know now. And a part of that is acting mature, and
treating people with respect.

You're calling me a liar, I'm calling you a tiresome juvenile that's
quite simply wrong. Prove me wrong, and I'll shut up; until then, I
thank you for your assistance in the very minor Perl question, and will
say "you're welcome" to the "thank you" that is sure to come for my
lesson on respect.

"Wrongest?"
Obviously, I was referring to the time zone. See, even the wisest of us
can make a typing faux pas.
> Ah, but we all are familiar with the logic of "your" code. Is that
> what you're saying?
Yes, and apparently I was correct. Whether I was tired, and whether you
are a prick, I got the answer I needed, didn't I? You were just so
caught up in proving yourself to be correct that you couldn't help but
answer. I knew I could count on your kind.
And before you go thinking how important you are to the NG, you'll
notice that several other people replied in a much more adult manner,
saying the same thing.
Please don't bother wasting anymore bandwidth by this now off-topic
thread; it's not like I have time to read it. When I want your advice,
I'll be sure to post again.
To the rest of you, I apologize for falling into this childishness. I
certainly know better, but sometimes you just get dragged in. If this
guy isn't the norm around here (and I certainly hope he's not) then I
apologize for the ill thoughts I've had toward this once elite NG. If
he is the norm... then my, how the mighty have fallen.

It looks like you get redirected by some internal system to an
authentication page and then authentication fails. Check your
credentials. Are you SURE the netloc field is right. You give a sample
(which is clearly bogus, but you might have sanitized it for security
reasons) of "host:8080". Did you verify with the people maintaining the
outgoing proxy that the netloc you are using is correct?
If the word "netloc" isn't familiar, start with "perldoc
LWP::UserAgent" and search for "cred".

The only thing that changes is the data being generated, but the data being
generated is always identical. Well, then I give up.

That wasn't sarcasm, that a question with 4 proposed possibilities for
answers. If you had dealt with programs of any complexity before[1], you'd
know that all of them are real possibilities to encounter, and would know
that how you fix them depends on which one is the actual problem.

Subject: Wide character issues with HTML Tidy
Message-Id: <1158109937.290495.151060@m73g2000cwd.googlegroups.com>
Hi,
I have some content which I run html tidy over in perl... only
occasionally I get a warning "Wide character in print at
/opt/iw-home/perl/.../Tidy.pm line 133.".
Is there a easy way to convert wide characters to ordinary characters
so tidy doesn't show this warning??
TIA.

No. You can use single or double quotes on attribute values.
