Hi,
I'm using GetOptions in the following manner:
$getoptions_rc = GetOptions( "host=s" => \$host, "port=n" => \$port);
Now, in case the user inputs something wrong, like a letter in the
port - GetOption prints a default errormsg.
how can I suppress the print and instead store the errormsg in a
variable ?
Thanks,
Tom

Another possibility would be to have some private configuration file=20
that contains user name and password and is only readable for the user,=20
e.g. like "mutt" does it. This does not, however, protect against root=20

For sensitive information, I use a memory stick that I plug in only if=20
needed. Be aware that it may still leave traces, e.g. on the swap device.=

Where can we obtain camelids.xml in order to repeat your example?
(I've looked at the web site you linked to, and if it has it then
it isn't obvious.)

Despite the parenthesis, the method is called in a scalar context. So
it should behave identically to the next piece of code.

Unless you know there is no stringification overload for NodeList, then
this print statement doesn't tell you much of anything about what $y
actually is. Try using Data::Dumper instead.
In any event, you have told us neither what you expected to see nor what
you actually did see, I have no idea how to go about explaining this
invisible and possibly nonexistent discrepancy.

Sorry about that. I think it is in the zip file. However it is simpler
to get it from

I'll save you the weekend. As I suspected, XML::LibXML::NodeList does have
stringification overloaded. So when interpolated into "", it doesn't use
the default reference/object stringification like
XML::DOM::NodeList=ARRAY(0x18bb880) does, but instead it just crams
together the string version of all its elements. I don't know the rational
for this decision, and I would probably disagree with it (I'd think I'd at
least use $" to join the strings, rather then ''). But it is what it is.
With Dumper:
bless( [
bless( do{\(my $o = 6429552)}, 'XML::LibXML::Element' ),
bless( do{\(my $o = 6430304)}, 'XML::LibXML::Element' ),
bless( do{\(my $o = 6430976)}, 'XML::LibXML::Element' ),
bless( do{\(my $o = 6430720)}, 'XML::LibXML::Element' ),
bless( do{\(my $o = 6430272)}, 'XML::LibXML::Element' )
], 'XML::LibXML::NodeList' );

So {} can have quite a lot of different semantics:
- block
- anonymous hash
- hash subscript
- hash slice
- ??? ( the @{a} thingy )
Who has the exact rules when the curly braces have which semantics?

@a = qw/global array/;
%h = (1=>a,2=>b);
{
my @a = qw/local array/;
print @a;
print @{a}; # same thing. No dereferencing involved. {} is not a
block.
print @{;"a"}; # @{ } dereferences the symbolic reference
"a" (global a). {} is a block.
print @{;\@a}; # @{ } dereferences the hard reference \@a (local
a). {} is a block.
print $h{1}; # {} is a hash subscript

Some possible workarounds, use HTML (see http://use.perl.org/comments.pl?
sid=1005&cid=1001) or write it in RTF. Not fantastic but the world cannot
be perfect. Or use vmware to run a Windows instance under Linux.

Where a word formatted document is required, I tend to use html format and
name it using a double suffix:
document.html.doc
The documents are then accepted as word documents within Microsoft Windows.
(You can just call it document.doc if you want.)

I don't see RTF as a workaround. It is a sensible solution for this kind
of thing. Just put .doc at the end of the file name.
