Hi.  I've been pouring over the debugger perldocs trying to figure out
how to change keyboard bindings, so for example the 'left' and 'right'
arrow keys let me move the cursor around the current line instead of
spitting out things like '^[[C', and mapping the 'up' arrow key to
cycle through the command history like it would at a command line
prompt.  Am I approaching this completely wrong?  Any advice would be
welcome. Thanks :)

Er, you'd be better off with one of these to ensure the import happens
though right... :)


          use Exporter qw/import/;
          # our @ISA = qw/Exporter/;

Thank you, I will try it that way. Looks like it's the simplest
method to get it to work.

What is the regular expression that sees
foobar,barfoo,barbarfoo,foobabarfoo etc. but not words between {}

foobar {worda, wordb, wordc} barfoo {worda, wordb, wordc} barbarfoo
{worda, wordb, wordc} foobarbarfoo

Negation is not suited and I have no idea how to achieve that.

Thanks in advance

I think I misread the question in my first reply.

     $_ = 'foobar {worda, wordb, wordc} barfoo {worda, wordb, wordc}
           barbarfoo {worda, wordb, wordc} foobarbarfoo';

     my @words = grep defined, /{.*?}|(\w+)/g;

"You just know it will be done sometime before or after the value is
returned."

I've been reading that as 'sometime before' in case of a preincrement,
'after' for a postincrement.

In which case my
  $index =3D ++$index % $asize;

looks fairly safe.


IMHO the expression above can result in an error only, if the
increment is first computed and returned and is assigned to $index
only after the modulo operation or even after the explicit assignment.

You may be right in that this can really happen. But then it's a very
strange behaviour indeed.
I've been using the autoincrement out of habit and for performance
considerations but agree that your suggestion certainly leaves no room
for error and is more readable anyway.

Cheers, Steffen

Message-Id: <af334169-747e-4f9b-8f1f-27846ebcf6fc@z72g2000hsb.googlegroups.com>

I want to know whether the user confirmed the button press, or if they
cancelled it.  This is my trial script - I have tried a lot of
variations on this and searched for similar online, thanks for any
help.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use CGI qw/:standard *table/;

$ENV{PATH} = "/bin:/usr/bin";    # Straight and narrow path

# alternative for $|, if set to non-zero forces a flush after every
write
# or print on the currently selected output handle
$OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH = 1;           # unbuffer STDOUT

# Here's the javascript code that we include in the document.
my $JSCRIPT = <<"END_OF_JAVASCRIPT";
function ConfirmWin() {
    var response = window.confirm("Are you sure you want to delete
this record?");
    if (response) {
        window.alert("Delete confirmed, record will be deleted.");
        return true;
    }
    else {
        window.alert("Delete NOT confirmed, no deletion will occur.");
        return false;
    }
}
END_OF_JAVASCRIPT

my $user_name = "";

print header,
  start_html( -title => "Test Confirm", -script => $JSCRIPT, ),
  h1("Test Confirm"),
  start_form,
  table(
    Tr(
        td( "User Name: ", ),
        td( textfield( -name => 'user_name', ), ),
    ),
  ),
  p,
  submit( -name => 'delete_record', -label => 'Delete Record', -
onClick => "ConfirmWin()");

  end_form,
  end_html;

warn "delete button pressed: ", param('delete_record');

exit;

If that is what you really want to do, then have the javascript change the
setting of some form element, which will then be submitted to CGI just like
any other form element is.

 ...

>   submit( -name => 'delete_record', -label => 'Delete Record',
>      -onClick => "ConfirmWin()");

This submits unconditionally.  If you change that to

       -onClick => "return ConfirmWin()");

then if the person does not confirm, the form will not be submitted.
But since the form is not submitted, the CGI is not invoked and hence
can't tell whether it was not invoked because submit was not pressed,
as opposed to being not invoked because submit was pressed but then
canceled.

From what I've read, written by Uri, it's somewhat his writing style. 
Don't read too much in it, and certainly not that Perl6 is going down the 
drain, and that there is something to hide.

I wonder why people are so eager to get Perl6. It's done when it's done. 
What's missing in Perl5? A lot of Perl6 features are available via 
modules. Personally I see Perl6 more like a new language than more of the 
same (Perl). If you want to bite your teeth in a new language, there are 
plenty to pick from.

And last time I checked, there was plenty of room for help *with* Perl. If 
I have more time available, I'll want to look into that. From what I've 
read so far, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to actually help with 
Perl6, there are plenty of things to do that require just some good 
programming skills.
