Conversion to Perl non-obvious, depending on what you mean by "find."

I'd like to see some initial trials that you did
before, as others have said.
BTW, the problem should be solvable
by organizing the search words into
a combined regular expression (alternation)
and a simple match of that beast against
your input data, like:
my @searchwords = qw'
George John Thomas James Andrew
Martin William John Zachary Millard';
my $combined = join '|', map "$_\\d{5}(?!\\d)", @searchwords;
print join "\n", map /($combined)/g, <>;
would you run this on some example data (through <>):
George12 John12345 Thomas234 James123
Andrew1234567 Martin010 William234
01234John 4Zachary43134 Millard1
it would show:
John12345
Zachary43134

Spurious? BS! By making such a claim, without presenting any proofs,
your credibility is eroded.
If this _really_ was about the value of code reuse via modules, why does
nobody object to e.g. this message:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.perl.misc/msg/1b4d3a3b268bf35c
No, because people know and enjoy that TIMTOWTDI. But that philosophy
seems to not be applicable to the sacred cow CGI.pm. For some reason.
Understood only by those who were here 10 years ago.

Message-Id: <1165007920.472720.280810@j72g2000cwa.googlegroups.com>
Hi comp.lang.perl.misc,
since people regularly ask about "compiling" Perl or, if they're a
little more educated about dynamic languages, about packaging Perl, I'm
quickly dropping by to announce that PAR will soon be split up into two
distributions.
The reason for this is that PAR has various use cases: One of those is
packaging applications and that feature requires a C build environment
to set up. Another use case is just using a .par file as a library to
load modules from. You wouldn't need a C compiler for that.
So, soon, there will be the PAR distribution itself and a separate
PAR-Packer distribution which contains the venerable "pp" utility for
packaging Perl applications. If questions about packaging Perl apps
arise, please don't just mention PAR but also PAR-Packer (or
PAR::Packer).
In fact, once I make a release, you will be able to install the pp
utility and thus PAR::Packer from the CPAN shell as
install pp
or, of course,
install PAR::Packer
Cheers,
Steffen

Does being a dynamic language stop a language from being compiled? The
only thing I can see is that for some cases the compiler needs to be
included to do run time compilation :-D.

Problem: I am having trouble figuring out why a system call in the

What am I trying to do: I am trying to launch a browser from a perl/Tk
button and it always returns 0 (and hence prints the failed to open
browser message) whether or not the browser actually gets launched.
Here is some sample code:
my $browser = '/usr/bin/firefox';

my $return = system ("$browser \"$url\" &");
if (!$return) {
print "failed to open browser\n";

As the docs for system() state, a return value of 0 does not indicate failure:
perldoc -f system

That is correct - 0 should indicate success - this is why I have if
(!$return) - i.e. for a non-zero return print the error message. The
problem is - no matter what happens a 0 *always* gets returned. I threw
in a false location of /usr/bin/firfox (note the e is missing) but a 0
gets returned (indicating success) but no window get launched obviously
as there is no such executable (firfox) on my system.
I beginning to wonder what the "success" indicator of 0 points to? Ok
- so I found this in the docs:
"The return value is the exit status of the program as returned by
the "wait" call. "
So I look up perldoc -f wait and see this:
"The status is returned in $?"
So - again checking $? gives a value of zero.
Let's start from the beginning and hopefully someone can answer one
specific question:
How do I launch a browser as a background process and *know* whether or
not it was launched?

The return code is telling you that the shell was correctly launched,
not if the shell succeeded in executing the command.
You might want to use a fork + exec and system(LIST) to avoid the shell.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $browser = 'D:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe';
my $url = 'http://www.yahoo.com/';
if ( defined ( my $pid = fork ) ) {
if ( $pid ) {
print "Exiting after 10 seconds\n";
sleep 10;
}
else {
unless ( exec $browser, $url ) {
warn "Failed to launch '$browser $url'\n";
}
else {
warn "Launched '$browser $url'\n";
}
}
}
else {
die "fork failed\n";
}

I think it's always 0 because the backgrounding of the process was
successful.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
my $cmd = '/some/made/up/cmd';
print "Running $cmd\n";
$ret = system( $cmd );
print "ret=$ret\n"
print "Running $cmd &\n";
$ret = system( "$cmd &" );
print "ret=$ret\n";
Running /some/made/up/cmd
/some/made/up/cmd: not found
ret=-1
Running /some/made/up/cmd &
ret=0
You could redirect STDERR to a file, sleep for a couple of seconds, then
read the file for errors, or possibly if its size is > 0 bytes.

That's not what I said, although I'll admit the difference is subtle. The
fact that 0 does not indicate failure does not necessarily imply that it
always indicates success. All it means is that the system() call itself
succeeded, and that the launched app returned a 0 exit status.
The meaning of a 0 exit status has to be interpreted in the context of the
launched app. For many apps, a 0 exit status is used to indicate failure of
a different sort than a general failure to execute the app, such as bogus
arguments or malformed input files. This allows command "chains" such as
the following:
gcc -o foo foo.c && mv ./foo /usr/local/bin/foo
Also keep in mind that the exit status of a program is whatever value is
returned from exit() or main(). Since you're launching this app in the
background and it's still running, that's probably why you're getting all
zeroes - you can't get an exit status from an app until it actually exits.

> - so I found this in the docs:

The last sentence of that same paragraph says:
"Return value of -1 indicates a failure to start the program (inspect
$! for the reason)."
So you can easily check to see if firefox was successfully started, by
comparing the return value of system() with -1.

Well thanks for all the different suggestions, but done have worked.
I'm surprised that this is so difficult. What is the difference between
ActiveState DateTime and DateTime from CPAN. If i already have the
DateTime module from ActiveState why can't i just use that?

You're confusing two completely separate issues here.
Package names are *very* relevant. ActiveState::DateTime is not the same
module as DateTime. The differences in the two are not at all related to the
means used to install them.
PPM and CPAN are simply two different installation mechanisms. The procedure
for using them to install modules differs, but once the DateTime module has
been installed, the means you used to install it makes zero different in how
it's used in your scripts.
> If i already have the
> DateTime module from ActiveState
You don't. You have the ActiveState::DateTime module, not the DateTime module.
Package names are important!
> why can't i just use that?
Maybe you can. Have you read the docs for ActiveState::DateTime to see if
it will do what you want to do?
