I have two simple scripts
------- script1.pl--------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
open O,">> x.txt";
print O "111\n";
sleep 10;
print O "111\n";
close O;
------- script1.pl--------
------- script2.pl--------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
open O,">> x.txt";
print O "222\n";
sleep 10;
print O "222\n";
close O;
------- script2.pl--------
I run script1.pl in time T and script2.pl in time T + 2 seconds. I expect
result
111
222
111
222
but I get
111
111
222
222
Why? Can anybody explain me it? I run my scripts on WindowsXP and ActivePerl
5.6.1.
Will be result the same on Linux platform?

While this may solve the problem of allowing clients direct access to the
database, you are exposing your internal network. Validating the SQL
queries is far more complex than you can imagine. I would not try to build
this type of thing myself because there are security vendors that do this
type of thing. The one vendor that I am aware of that does have a product
that does this is Citrix, but I'm sure there are others.

So why not simply make grep context aware too? Seems grep would benefit
from this just as much, if not more, as map.
Thoughts?

I agree that if it's easy to make grep context aware, then they might
as well. For example if "grep" is called in void context Perl could
automatically replace the call to "grep" with one to "map".
But as far as I know, "grep" wouldn't benefit from this. I think
"grep" is exactly the same thing as "map" except for its return
values. The difference in the return values is that "grep" returns a
list of values where the evaluated expression or block is true,
whereas "map" returns all the values. The side-effects of "grep" and
"map" are identical. Thus calling "grep" in a void context has exactly
the same effect as calling "map", and the FAQ entry is just saying if
you are going to ignore the return value, there is a penalty to using
"grep", so you should have used "map".

Shouldn't this be:

Just "forcing the issue", so to speak. From what I've read, srand gets
called implicitly the first time you call rand anyway.

Hmmm. One has to be careful of two different kinds of errors that
can creep into "random numbers in a range" functions:
1. Fencepost errors
2. Altered-probability-of-endpoints errors.
Your scheme avoids error #2 by having the same range of source numbers
map to each integer. But does it always avoid error #1?
It will misbehave if rand ever returns its maximum value. Eg, will
rand(7) ever return 7?
::: reads http://perldoc.perl.org/perlfunc.html :::
Nope, always less. Cool. "rand" is already doing what rand_int(0, x)
does, then. (rand_int is nifty for ranges not starting with 0, though.)

yep. so why call it explicitly? in earlier perl's you had to call
it. less code means it is simpler, easier to maintain and generally runs
faster.

not with indexing. perl's rand is perfect for that and that is a
standard idiom. rand N always makes a number < N so it can be an integer
from 0 -> N - 1 but never N. the number of elements in an array is
@array so rand @array will always be a proper index (and indexing will
do the int() call for you).

nope. it is designed to work in this way. rtfm!

yes, for other than 0 starts, you need something. i posted a sub for
that before. but plain random indexing never needs it.
