Congratulations on your compiler.
I looked through your pages and came across this
"[This article originally appeared in the ACM SIGAPL Quote Quad, vol.
21, no.1, September 1990.]
The APL character set has contributed, more than any other facet of
the language, to its lack of acceptance in the computing community at
large. The character set is a metaproblem -- not a problem in and of
itself, but a creator of other recurring problems of hardware,
software, ergonomics, and psychology. The adoption of new, ASCII-base
dialects of APL, such as J, is suggested as one solution to the
character set problem. "
This is also the reason for why I will not be downloading your new
compiler until there will be a J version of it, something I hope will
be coming soon.
I can not use the APL character set at all.
It is too mixed up with my national characters.

What about a unicode version of APL?
Honestly, I cannot use J because it mixes with all
the characters I use... ;)

They don't execute if I just put them there - I have to chmod them to
assign execute rights.

Obviously I have the ability to keep all my executables in one directory
if I want to - but I don't see how this helps. Can you explain?

Please ask questions about web server configuration in a newsgroup
that has some connection with web servers.

I'm, not sure that I'm getting your point, but are you trying to argue that
_not_ knowing mathemathics makes you a better programmer? Or maybe that learning
math is useless to a programmer? This must be the most ignorant post I've seen
this week. The *best* programmers I've seen actually had mathematic education.
The programmers who don't know math are the ones who end up on DailyWTF.

Q: In your statement, "since there is no program called sqlpus, it will
return non-zero", what is "it"?
A: "It" is the process that built the pipe that was supposed to connect
the two processes together. In many cases, "it" is /bin/sh.
Also, your first sentence talks about a "parent command", but the example
shows a "preceding command". The parent is what builds the pipe. It
then forks two child processes. The first one is told to run 'sqlplus',
but fails. The parent gets informed that the first child process aborted,
and most likely does not even start 'perl_filter.pl' at all.
If you want to detect this situation, then your program has to be
the parent; it has to put the parts of the pipe together and check
the status.
I wanted to make sure you were clear on this concept before continuing.
You could modify perl_filter.pl so that creates the pipe with sqlplus
and reads from that pipe instead of reading from STDIN. That way you
could properly detect when the sqlplus command doesn't even get started.

Subject: howto Date Time string from MYSQL to German Format
Message-Id: <1192964293.523500.112660@y27g2000pre.googlegroups.com>
I want to format DateTime string which looks like "2007-10-12
14:00:00" to German Format like "Montag, den 12. Oktober 2007"
This code (1) does not work:
$german_date = ParseDate('2007-10-12 14:00:00');
printf ("Minverbraucht : %s\n",Date_to_Text_Long($german_date));
this code (2) works, because @anliefertag is already formatted as
DateTime:
printf ("Anliefertag : %s\n",Date_to_Text_Long(@anliefertag))
any solutions from you how to format dateTime in example (1)?
tnx in advance

youbetcha.
it's 2007-10-21 at half seven bells.
when you include this module, do it correctly:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::NNTP ();
Shooting for the azimuth is different. You go for m*pi s.t. (m+1).times.
pi>target
angstroms are appropriate units. hja.
