Hi,
I want to write a program that does check the appropriate system path
for perl in FreeBSD and Linux.
The path where I have it in FreeBSD is
#! /usr/local/bin/perl
and the path where it is in Linux is
#! /usr/bin/perl
I wanted the program to check for the uname of the system and choose
the appropriate path. Can anyone tell me how can I have my program
check this.
This is how I wrote the program but it doesnt work.
#! /usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
if (system("uname") eq "Linux") {
#! /usr/bin/perl
}
< rest of the code >
Thanks,
doni

What do you think that does?
Please read the documentation for the function you're using
perldoc -f system
perldoc -q system
> #! /usr/bin/perl
That's a comment, and nothing more. The #! syntax means nothing
unless it's the first two characters of the file.
You probably meant to do an exec()
perldoc -f exec
And to avoid an infinite loop, you'll need to make sure you're not
already executing the version you meant to. I think you'll need both
the $0 and $^X variables. You can read about them in:
perldoc perlvar
In fact, you could probably get rid of the call to uname entirely, by
using the $^0 variable, also documented in that perldoc.
Hope that helps,

Easier to use a symlink or on your Freebsd box (it's probably on your
Linux box also), run 'use.perl port', then /usr/bin/perl will work
on both.

You could try wrapping a call to any of those experimental features in
a block in which $SIG{__WARN__} has been changed to ignore warnings.
Or you could try locally setting $^W to 0 in a block around those
features (though I don't think that would handle the case where the
module's code is specifically generating a warning using the warn()
function).
{
local $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { 1 };
do_something_experimental();
}
Hope that helps,

I would have expected this to have worked:
mark@owl:~$ cat AA.pm
package AA;
use strict;
use warnings;
sub testsub {
my $test;
print "$test\n";
}
1;
mark@owl:~$ cat testaa.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
use AA;
{
package AA;
use warnings::register;
}
no warnings q(AA);
AA::testsub();
mark@owl:~$ perl testaa.pl
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at AA.pm line 8.
but it doesn't surpress the warning message, although adding
use warnings::register;
to AA.pm has the desired effect.

Well, if you had followed the link, you would have seen:
$ie->content
Fetch the outerHTML from the $ie->Document->documentElement.
I have found no way to get to the exact contents of the document. This
is basically the interpretation of IE of what the HTML looks like and
beware all tags are upcased :(

Note the *may*. I have never needed to tinker with any security settings
and I have used the module for quite complicated tasks where the sites
were so dependent on IE that no other solution would have worked.
You are free not to take advice and try to re-invent the wheel. I am not
likely to waste my time helping you do that.

One can choose to use CPAN modules and contribute improvements as one
comes up with them. IMHO, that is both more productive and more useful
to everyone.

I can only see what you chose to show.

All this stuff about your configuration and not one comment about
whether the solution I posted worked for you or not (a solution which I
copied straight from Win32::IE::Mechanize). I will now bid you farewell.

Sinan, and Joe,
I am very sorry about this. And I beg your forgiveness.
And I most profusely apologize to you both.
A couple of days ago I had posted here asking about
"Automating Internet Explorer".
My question was about OLE,
And I got one response that simply ignored my question
and told me to use Mechanize instead.
Gentlemen, I am old.
It seemed to me the same thing was happening again here.
When I saw that Mr Unur was telling me to use
Win32-IE-Mechanize instead, - I started dimming out.
When next I saw him telling me to "use warnings",
I started blanking out.
And when, finally, I saw that he'd added "use warnings" to my original code
-- but ---it seemed to me, when I skimmed over it, with these old eyes,
--- nothing else ..!..
Gentlemen, I'm old.
I glanced over the rest of the script and didn't notice
that any other changes had been made than the addition
of "use warnings".
I thought Mr Unur had "middle-posted" and left,
after telling me to use warnings.
~~
Also,
I am not a professional.
I write maybe 3 or 4 small scripts a day, purely for my own needs.
It would never have occurred to me that explicit "use strict"
and "use warnings" is a courtesy to others.
I will do it from now on.
~~~
Again, I am very sorry about all of this.
I do understand, now, finally, how you reacted to me.
Very much the same way that I had mistakenly initially reacted to you.
But you didn't know that. You didn't know how or why I had reacted
the way I did. And I didn't know that you didn't know.
So your reaction to me came as a complete surprise to me.
I think perhaps such total mis-communication
has occured before on usenet. If so it would explain a lot.
Anyway, thank you both again.
$IEWindow->Document->documentElement->{outerHTML};
is ideed exactly what I was asking for. It works.
(How ever did you find it?)
And I will remember to include the explicit "use strct" and "use warnings"
from now on.
Thank you!
Greg.

Ah!
Sinan,
It turns out that I was not entirely to blame
for our mis-communciation!
But neither were you!
It's all due to an HTML mistake
on the Win32::IE::Mechanize document page!
Starting with NAME as line 1, the 21st and 22nd lines are:
CONTENT-HANDLING METHODS
$ie->content
which I know now is what you meant.
They are both coded as links to internal anchors,
and the first one
http://search.cpan.org/~abeltje/Win32-IE-Mechanize-0.009_17/lib/Win32/IE/Mechanize.pm#CONTENT-HANDLING_METHODS
works. That is to say, it links to an existing internal anchor.
But the second one -- the one you gave me --
http://search.cpan.org/~abeltje/Win32-IE-Mechanize-0.009_17/lib/Win32/IE/Mechanize.pm#%24ie-%3Econtent
is broken!
You can search the source code for "24ie-%3Econtent"
and you don't find it anywhere else!
The effect was that when I clicked on the link you gave me,
it just opened the whole document at the top!
So I had no idea what "comment" you were specifically
trying to direct me to. And I couldn't possibly guess
what you meant.
Neither your fault nor mine!
~greg.

Well, more than likely, it is your browser or newsreader that is broken.
%24 is the URL encoded version of $ and and %3E is the URL encoded version
of #. So, the link above is the same as:
http://search.cpan.org/~abeltje/Win32-IE-Mechanize-0.009_17/lib/Win32/IE/Mechanize.pm#$ie->content
but with the unsafe characters replaced with safe URL encodings.

As I wrote that message, I replaced your script with the copy-pasted
version of my script but gave no indication of the fact that I had changed
a single line in it.
That's my fault.

I wondered how Win32::IE::Mechanize did it and looked at its source code.
Microsoft has documentation on Internet.Application at msdn.microsoft.com.
The whole thing is really messy and I am not sure if you will able to do
better than Win32::IE::Mechanize (and if you are, I am sure we would all
appreciate your contributions).
On the other hand, that module helped me achieve a lot recently despite all
the warnings on CPAN. I am more worried about modules that don't tell me
their shortcomings up front.

But seriously, ...
your:
> http://search.cpan.org/~abeltje/Win32-IE-Mechanize-0.009_17/lib/Win32/IE/Mechanize.pm#$ie->content
does work.
And I think I understand what's going on now.
~~
When we used the context menu to "Copy Shortcut",
we both got the URL Encoding: #%24ie-%3Econtent
of both the '$' and the '>'.
However, in the HTML source,
the link and the anchor that it's supposed to point to
are, instead:
<li class='indexItem indexItem2'><a href='#%24ie-%3Econtent'>$ie->content</a>
and
<h2><a class='u' href='#___top' title='click to go to top of document'
name="$ie->content"
>$ie->content</a></h2>
respectively.
That is to say, in the href of the link
both the '$' and '>' are URL-encoded .
However, both in the display of the link,
and in the name of the target anchor,
the '$' is not encoded at all,
and the '>' is encoded rather as an HTLM entity!
'$' is safe (I beleive) and so needn't be encoded at all.
'>', on the other hand, has to be encoded,
in the HTML of course, and I think also as url,
And either the URL-encoding or the HTML-entity encoding would be fine.
It's the using of the one way in the href of the link,
and the other way in the name of the target of the link,
that breaks the connection!

I tried to get it to work too, and gave up.
I ended up using curl to handle the authentication and to move the
data into Perl. Then I could massage it and send it back using curl.

Rob,
Changing the include to the full path to gmp.h in the xs file and

Thanks to all others that replied as well.
