Greetings,
I am entirely new to perl. Just starting with it.
I have a file (test.env) which I want to make use in (code.plx) file.
test.env contains variables which will be used in code.plx.
I tried:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$class='/full_path/test.env';
require $class;
But I am getting some "Bareword" found kinda error.
Can anyone correct me here?
TIA

Please give us the *exact* (copy/pasted, not re-typed) error message.
That would help tremendously in figuring out what is wrong.

Just a guess, since I'm not privy to the contents of test.env: does
test.env contain Perl code? require() requires that it does. If you
would show the first and last 5 lines or so of test.env, it should be
obvious.

First of all "getiing some "Bareword" found kinda error" is some=20
unusable kinda description of a problem.
The "requires" directive requires the file to be a valid Perl script. If =
it's a collection of shell-like environment settings, e.g.
debug=3Dtrue
temp=3D/var/tmp
then, obviously, it won't work.
You have a couple of options:
1. convert this into a valid Perl script, e.g.
$ENV{debug} =3D 'true';
$ENV{temp} =3D '/var/tmp';
2. write a short function which reads and parses the file, or find a=20
suitable module which does that for you.

No. [_\W] says match an underscore or a non-word character. You could do the
same thing with the POSIX character class [^[:alnum:]].
[\w\W] matches *any* character, as would [\s\S] or [\d\D] or (?s:.).

You need *two* pieces of information to analyse why a pattern is
matching or not.
You need the regular expression, and you need the string that the
regular expression is to be matched against.

There is the regular expression.

Neither can we, because we cannot see what is in $_

Probably the string does not match the pattern somehow. (heh)

You are correct, but the problem is apparently in the particular data
sample which I provided. When tested against the full data file it
still has the problem of the false matches. I was in a hurry to
acknowledge my error, but I don't have time this morning to do more
diagnostics.
Perhaps it is something about the presence of the third number in some
of the real data that is causing it to fail? I see that the sample I
included did not have any cases with 12 digits, but only 8.
(I did test Ilya Zakharevich's proposed suggestion in the next post,
and it worked more poorly, producing additional false matches. I'm
eager to study the differences there, though his approach seems more
complicated than yours.)

Hi,
I have problem running my cgi scripts under Apache Tomcat server. I am
using Apache Tomcat/5.5.20 on WinXP. I followed the instruction tips I
found out at
http://www.wellho.net/forum/Perl-Programming/Running-Perl-CGI-scripts-under-Apache-Tomcat.html
http://www.ftponline.com/javapro/2003_03/online/perl_teden_03_18_03/page2.aspx

I get HTTP status 404 error.

\examples #
this is folder I created it
\WEB-INF #
this is folder I created it
\cgi
# this is folder I created it
------> script1.cgi
------> script2.cgi
The script runs perfectly on Apache HTTPD server. Can any one tell me
clearly what needs to be done to get my script running.
Thank you,

404 means "not found". It's got nothing at all to do with how your script
is written, or even in what language. So, since this is off-topic here, I'll
be brief in answering.
Check your server's error log - that will show where the server is looking
for your script. Obviously that won't match where the script really is - if
it did, you wouldn't be getting the 404. What you'll need to do is either
move your script to where the server is looking for it, or reconfigure the
server to look somewhere else.

Well! I got the mistake I was doing. I was keeping the \cgi\*.cgi in
examples\WEB-INF\cgi\*.cgi under webapps folder.
But server was looking under \webpps\ROOT\.. . So I kept the \cgi
\*.cgi under
\webapps\ROOT\
Thanks for the reply Sherm.

one can convert sed to perl, and awk to perl.
You can't convert a generic perl to sed or awk script.
In short, perl is more powerful, but more complicated. If you are new
to all of them, I'd use AWK.
I think AWK is a wonderful, simple and elegant language. It has a lot
of power, and is easy to learm.
If you need to do something that AWK can't do, and can't easily fix it
by piping the results to another utility liek sed or sort, try
converting it to perl (using "a2p") and adding the new stuff to
perl. And since you know how AWK works, you get a head start on perl
by using the perl flavor of the AWK script.

Because to do that, you'd have to be able to read it.

I just wanted to thank everyone who replied to my question. I didn't
want to post a follow-up until I figured out what was going on.
The script that was giving me all the trouble was being launched by a
BMC application that was using the "Nutcracker" compatibility
environment (it's actually an MKS product). It was using different
calling conventions depending on whether I was calling the Perl script
or the batch file. In the latter case it was dispatching cmd.exe which
is why I was getting different quoting behavior.
The problem was further compounded by the fact that different versions
of the product do things in different ways. In one case it was
dispatching the MKS version of sh.exe which was in turn calling the Perl
interpreter.
So, I was comparing apples to oranges. I had to do a detailed process
trace to find out what was really going on. The "Procmon" program from
sysinternals.com was useful in this task.
Again, thanks.
