Public proxies are almost exclusively used by assholes, so they are easy

dear all
i am a beginner in perl.i am familiar with regex.but somewhere in the
net i hv found the following example which i cdnt understand.and there
was no explanation given in it.it would be very much helpful for me if
anyone kindly explain the following snippet of code.i understood what
it is actually doing.its jst retrieving the comma separated values frm
$text one by one.but i cdnt understand the regex part inside the while
loop inside the parse_csv subroutine.
$text = q<XYZZY,"","O'Reilly, Inc","Wall, Larry","a \"glug\"
bit,",5,"Error, Core Dumped">;
@new=&parse_csv($text);
foreach(@new){
print "$_\n";
}
sub parse_csv {
my $text = shift; # record containing comma-separated values
my @new = ();
push(@new, $+) while $text =~ m{
"([^\"\\]*(?:\\.[^\"\\]*)*)",?
| ([^,]+),?
| ,
}gx;
push(@new, undef) if substr($text, -1,1) eq ',';
return @new; # list of values that were comma-separated
}
thanking you in advance

Paul (and your tone is similar to the problem I have with Abigail), consider
this: a zero return is common with UNIX commands to indicate success. It is
*NOT* common in many programming paradigms that perhaps these posters are
used to, where you look for failure with a zero or FALSE. Depending on how
you define "application", it may well be that the vast majority of
"applications" do _not_ return 0 to indicate success; it's more natural to
return a non-zero.
But then again, we'd be talking non-UNIX, and of course everyone out there
is a UNIX guru.

Are you saying that only UNIX gurus are capable of reading the docs for the
tools they're using, to see what status codes indicate success?
Are you saying that we should all assume that Windows users are illiterate,
and just spoon-feed them the docs they're all incapable of reading?
My, you do seem to have an exceptionally low opinion of Windows users. Why
is that? Did Bill Gates kick your dog or something?

Yeah, UNIX commands such as these:

> rcp, rsync, rm etc.
I seem to recall you had exactly the same problem a few days ago - you ripped
into Abigail for posting a "UNIX-y" answer, when it turned out that the shell
command he was commenting on used quoting that wouldn't work on Windows, or
in other words, it turned out that a UNIX-y answer was exactly what was called
for.
Here's a suggestion for you: The next time you find yourself getting upset
because someone "assumed" UNIX, take a closer look, and see if maybe there
happens to be a Very Good Reason they're giving a UNIX-y answer.

Message-Id: <1169267119.488879.263890@s34g2000cwa.googlegroups.com>
Dear All,
I installed HTTP::Proxy 0.20 version.
(http://search.cpan.org/dist/HTTP-Proxy/)
I run the proxy in my Fedora 3 with the following config to support a
very high traffic:
$proxy->max_clients(500);
$proxy->max_keep_alive_requests(40);
I found that when the proxy is running, there will be quite often
display such an error message:
[Sat Jan 20 11:50:02 2007] (13681) ERROR: Getting request failed:
Client closed
What's the meaning of it and will that child process exit when faced
such an error? Or the child process will continue to accept other
connections until connection no. reached max_keep_alive_requests?
Thank you very much.
Rgds,
Jason

Thanks for the help and the humour. Net::DNS now works. I went back

Yeah, that was the idea - any human with two working brain cells can easily
figure it out, but it's not sitting there in the clear for spambots to
harvest.
Anyone with an ounce of courtesy would have respected Michele's decision
to keep his address munged against automated spam harvesters. Reposting it
in the clear was the act of a petulant child. Grow up.

Anyone with an ounce of courtesy would have used a real email address,
so those of us that want to ask further questions in email could
actually reach her.

Michele is male - or at least I assume so, seeing as how most people who
wear a beard and moustache are of that gender, and "Michele" is an Italian
form of "Michael".
Anyhow, *he* did provide a real email address, in a form that any human with
two working brain cells could use to reach *him*. De-munging it and reposting
it in plain text for the sole benefit of spam-bots was not only unnecessary,
it was petty, spiteful, and childish.
So like I said - grow up.
