This assigns an empty hashref to $var. Read the perlref documentation.

Ahemmm, it's not the reference that is empty but the hash that it points
to.

Can you post a transcript of what you see when you run the cpan(1)
command?

If you're getting network errors, it's probably not cpan(1) that's
having problems. Are you able to reach those sites through another
means, such as FTP or a browser?

Hi Brian,
:) I do feel like a fool, but CPAN is working alright now. So I cannot
recreate the same errors again by running the command again. I did not
want to recreate the problem again to show the output, as I am already
running behind the work schedule. But I can describe: in general all
the means of query failed one by one for each mirror, the LWP, then
Net::FTP and so on.
I did copy the urls they failed to get (01mailrc... and others), and
tried with wget and they were downloaded. I am happy that it is
working now, but do not feel very intelligent because I do not
understand what exactly went wrong and what exactly fixed it. Again,
my internet connection was OK all the time. Thanks for the reply
though. :)

What I'm wondering is why you didn't use the much simpler (from my
point of view):
foreach my $num ( 0 .. 0b11111 ) {
my $yn = sprintf '%05b', $num;
$yn =~ tr/01/NY/;
print "$yn\n";
}
Doesn't everybody say to prefer lexical over local, unless you
really need local?

But "my $foo = sprintf ...;" worked since 5.000.
Or do you think '$foo =~ tr /01/YN/' is the obfuscated version of 'tr /01/YN/'?

Are you by any chance looking for CGI and Template, and
have these standard modules currently installed in a
subdirectory named GT?

You may want to consult
perl -V:d_Gconvert

Oups, it is THE OTHER direction! In fact, I do not know what Perl
uses to parse FP numbers. Let me check.... In 5.8.8:
#define Atof my_atof
which, essentially, calls Perl_my_atof2(), which OMG! calls a
home-brewed implementation! Shame on us! No wonder it behaves
fishy; coding string-to-num conversion is not for weaklings...
But before ringing the bell, please consider what is the *right*
answer. E.g.,
0.99999999976716936 * 2**75
= 37778931854161068825399.29174657778843648
The integer part is essentially
0b111111111111111111111111111111110000000000000000000000000100000001010111001
Perl behaves as if it were
0b11111111111111111111111111111110111111111111111111111...
The rest as if it were
0b11111111111111111111111111111111000000000000000000000...
So indeed, Perl's implemenation is extremely buggy (as anything
written by people who do not LIVE WITH FP would be)...
Hope this helps,
Ilya

Yet another thought (that's just alias for Perl's printf):
pprintff .31g 0.99999999976716936
0.999999999767169245324
pprintff .31g 99999999976716936/100000000000000000
0.999999999767169245324
pprintff .31g 99999999976716936
99999999976716928
So it looks like whoever wrote Perl's Atof() thought (in their greate
wiseness) that one is allowed to translate the mantissa in 3
operations: convert the "integer mantissa" to an FP value, then
convert the corresponding 1000...000 to an FP value, then divide.
(The numerics people would immediately note that doing 3 operations
increases the maximal possible error 3 times, which is not allowed.
The trickyness of string-to-FP conversion is that it cannot be done
using just the precision of the FP primitives; one needs to get a
higher precision that this...)
Hope this helps,
Ilya

Any comments, suggestions, or pointers for Epic?
I use a number of editors and enviroments for Perl, including notepad,
edit, TextPad, JEdit, vi (and an experimental use of Emacs), etc., but
I've mostly migrated to Eclipse for Java. I only discovered Epic
yesterday, and before I install it, I thought I'd make an attempt at
due diligence.
Thanks, CC.

Subject: Spelling suggestions for common words - ispell, etc.
Message-Id: <a9892cdb-5ed5-44c0-81cd-fc04570e684b@q27g2000prf.googlegroups.com>
I am looking for a way to, without custom defining a dictionary, to
get a list of suggested words for a misspelled word. Or better, "the"
most likely intended word for a misspelled word.
My base case to consider is:
dmr wjite saddle
which refers to a brand (DMR) and color (white) of a bike part
(saddle).
Ideally, dmr would return no suggestion, and wjite would return the
string "white" though I could certainly understand why "write" is
equally good a suggestion. I would be willing to define an add-on
dictionary to ignore certain words, such as brands and abbreviations
which are known to me, such as DMR, so that is possible to handle.
ispell -a yields:
<Q>$ echo "dmr wjite saddle" | ispell -a
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.50.5)
& dmr 28 0: Dr, Mr, DMD, DMZ, Dar, Der, Dir, Dur, Dem, dorm, Dame,
dame, demur, dime, dimer, dome, MDT, mfr, Dom, Dre, Dru, MRI, dam,
dim, dry, MD, Md, rm
& wjite 29 4: jute, kite, White, white, quite, Waite, write, Joete,
jitter, kiter, jet, Kit, jot, jut, kit, quiet, whiter, whitey, quote,
Whit, whit, Cote, Jude, Kate, cote, cute, quit, Wit, wit
*
from which I could easily pass on the dmr suggestions, but, scoring
and evaluating the suggestions for wjite is harder. "white" and
"write" are 'ranked' (I guess) 3rd, 4th, and 7th.
Does anyone know of an alternative that would return basic words as
suggestions? ispell is certainly a good start and I might be able to
use it, but I was thinking maybe there is something more human-
intuitive out there.
Thanks!
David
