Yes indeed. In fact all OS's incorporate linked lists for dynamic memory manangement.
A series of discontinuous blocks of data all linked together in lists.
Languages are built upon these OS intrinsics. By all accounts, the only way
to grow and shrink "array's". Deallocating memory is as simple as destroying a list,
giving up/returning chunks of address space back to the free pool, another list.
Most languages have collection layers that negate the need for linked lists.
At higher levels, lists are common and are supported by API that do add/insert/remove
management (node manipulation).
Scripting languages built on C/C++, like Perl, would invoke tremendous overhead doing
linked lists.
To me, unless your doing system programming, doing linked lists is just an educational
experience.

This is a FAQ.
perldoc -q directory:
I {changed directory, modified my environment} in a perl script.
How come the change disappeared when I exited the script? How do I
get my changes to be visible?
Unix
In the strictest sense, it can't be done--the script executes as
a different process from the shell it was started from. Changes
to a process are not reflected in its parent--only in any
children created after the change. There is shell magic that
may allow you to fake it by eval()ing the script's output in
your shell; check out the comp.unix.questions FAQ for details.

But edited heavily enough that I barely recognize the bits I added

"using undef()ing" should be "using undef()."

That the OS's 64-bitness *does not matter* seems to have escaped those
who've continued this thread with Subject unchanged.

I find that Perl is annoying once you've got used to the conveniences of
Visual Basic. For example, if I want to resize a text button in Visual
Basic, I just click the lower right corner and the text button is
automatically resized to the size of the text it contains. Perl doesn't
have this kind of convenient feature, so I'd say Perl was pretty annoying.
Also, Perl's object system is very clunky and messy compared to C++. I'd
say that Perl's object system is downright annoying. Further, Perl is
extremely slow compared to C or C++, especially for numerical
calculations. It's annoying. But most of these { } languages like C and C+
+ and Perl are annoying compared to Fortran 77, because in Fortran 77
it's quite easy to remember all the syntax of the language.
On the other hand, JavaScript's regular expressions and string
substitutions are annoying and clunky compared to Perl's. You can use
like $1 on the right hand side, but if you try to get the value of $1
outside the regular expression, it just complains about it.
In summary, I think most computer languages are annoying in one way or
another. Perl is probably more annoying to learners than many other
languages.

I should probably point out that if their might be a water main
where you're digging, then C would be a good choice.
And if their might be ancient artifacts where you're digging,
then Java would be a good choice.

Subject: Mail::IMAPClient usage...
Message-Id: <3dd9ec2a-bd2a-43ab-828f-32ea96c1563b@d19g2000prm.googlegroups.com>
Hi All,
I am trying to login to my gmail id using MAIL::IMAPClient modules
available in CPAN. I took sample code available (for my POC) but it
is not working. Here is the snippet for your reference:
use strict;
use warnings;
# Use CPAN modules to handle mails
use Mail::IMAPClient;
my ($MAILSERVER,$USER,$PW,$num) = ();
($MAILSERVER,$USER,$PW,$num) = ('pop.gmail.com:995/pop3/ssl',
'myid@gmail.com',
'mypwd');
my $imap = Mail::IMAPClient->new;
$imap = Mail::IMAPClient->new(
Server => $MAILSERVER,
User => $USER,
Password=> $PW,
Clear => 5
) or die "Cannot connect to $MAILSERVER as $USER:
$@";
Getting Error as:
Cannot connect to pop.gmail.com:995/pop3 as myid: Unable to connect to
pop.gmail.com:995/pop3: IO::Socket::INET: Bad service '143' at test.pl
line 15.
Do I need to set any environment variable before using this module?
Any SSL socket need to be made?
This is the first time I am using this module and hence I am not very
sure if this usage is correct or not.
Regards

Ahum, IMAP is not pop3, and Mail::IMAPClient does only IMAP. I think you
should look for a pop3 client library.

I am sorry. I think I am a little disconnected with the topic because my
problem is not really in the code. The object is definitely well
instantiated and I can bind the AD server as far the "ldap user" is in
the same domain.
But if I want "bind" an "external" one I can't. I think this is due to
the limitation of the authentication layer used by the module.
I just want to know if i am right and if maybe someone is aware of that.

If you want to bind to an external LDAP server, you need the appropriate
credentials. The reason you can bind to the "local" LDAP server is because
you are probably using that local users credentials to bind and read that
users objects. When you try to bind to an external LDAP server with that
local users credentials it fails probably because that user doesn't have
authority to a) bind to the server, or b) has any rights to read any of the
objects stored on it.

Subject: PostgreSQL 8.3 working driver for ActivePerl/win?
Message-Id: <Xns9AE2B51337A49castleamber@130.133.1.4>
Today I installed PostgreSQL 8.3 on a computer running XP Professional,
but still no luck in installing a working DBD::Pg
Perl -v:
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 50 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
:
Binary build 820 [274739] provided by ActiveState
http://www.ActiveState.com
Built Jan 23 2007 15:57:46
I tried:
DBD::Pg 1.45 (via ppm)
DBD-Pg-2.0
(via http://pgfoundry.org/projects/dbdpgppm/ ->
http://pgfoundry.org/frs/?group_id=1000199 )
DBD-Pg-5.8.ppd gives after installation:
The procedure entry point Perl_newXS_flags count not be located in the
dynamic link library perl58.dll
DBD-Pg-5.8s.ppd gives after installation:
The procedure entry point Perl_sv_2iv_flags could not be located in the
dynamic link library perl58.dll
Does anyone know where to find a working DBD::Pg, or a combination of
PostgreSQL and DBD::Pg that works on Windows XP with ActiveState Perl
5.8.8 (as given above).
If not, does anyone had success with DBD::Pg + Active Perl 5.10?

I can't say that I see any particular point to the essay. But I did
want to point out that Oz should not be considered part of the ML
family. Aside from not being statically typed - a very central tenet
to ML, Oz is much more part of the Logic family of languages (Mercury,
Prolog, etc...).

Yes, thanks for the correction..
