It is not as if the difference is a secret. If the passive voice used in
'defined' versus the active 'undef' is not enough of a clue, note:
perldoc -f undef
undef Undefines the value of EXPR,
perldoc -f defined
defined Returns a Boolean value telling whether EXPR has a value other
than the undefined value "undef".

Good. Keep in mind that reading parts of the documentation is a useful
and enjoyable habit even when you do not have a problem.

Message-Id: <760d1fa3-a275-4655-aeae-ff530d9481db@x35g2000hsb.googlegroups.com>
Hello all,
I get now answer to this question on perl.beginners ... Could somebody
give me an answer in this group? I already asked this question one
year ago, and got an good solution, but I am unable to find it in the
internet.
while being in the debugger, how do I pipe all printings going to a
OUTputfile like:
print OUT "text text text";
into the shell?
I read perldebug and perldebguts, but probably I just overread it?
Thank you for your help

Perl v5.8
I used the
#perl -MCPAN -e shell.
then I tried: #cpan> install bundle::cpan
It did not allow me to run the above command. I wounder if there is
any problem with my Perl.
I also have problems to install some packages such as IO::Sock::SSL,
Unicode::MapUTF8, and Jcode.
These packages are important for me to use the LDAP to work with
Twiki.
Thank you

Shouldn't you have used
#cpan> install Bundle::CPAN"
Module names are, as everything else in Perl, case-sensitive...

Please post the exact error message, not something you made up.
Only the exact error messages tell what went wrong. "It did not
allow me to run the above command" doesn't.
> I also have problems to install some packages such as IO::Sock::SSL,

How did installing them fails? Again, please post the exact command
you used and the exact error messages.
Also note that you probably meant to install IO::Socket::SSL and
not IO::Sock::SSL (which doesn't exist as far as I can see).

Iwonder when this would be an issue? If you had an unsorted hash you
could just sort it. If you added elements to it again you could just
sort it. Why would there be a need for this hash to always be sorted?
Is it going to unsort itself?
One thing that would be nice, maybe it is already available, is the
ability to sort elements into a sorted hash. Something like a
combination join and sort where you can add an element to a hash and
have it sort into the hash.

If you sort after every time you add an element, you get an O((NlnN)^2)
or O(N^2 lnN) data structure, which is rather undesirable when other
implementations are O(NlnN)
> Is it going to unsort itself?
If you are talking about the native Perl hash, it will never be sorted in
the first place. If you are talking about something else, you will have to
tell us what it is.

Actually I strongly disagree with this wording. A hash is never sorted
and cannot be sorted(*). Why? Because there is no sequence among hash
elements. There simply is no such thing as a first element or a next
element. Even if you had a specific hash and one specific element in
that hash: which element is the next element?
Sorting a hash is like sorting the lenght() function or a set. The very
notion of it is non-sensical.
Of course you can sort all keys or all values or whatever after you put
those into a list/array. But you cannot sort a hash because a hash
opposite to an array or list does not have a sequence on its members.
If you want a sorted hash, then you don't want a hash but some other
data structure.
jue
*: Yes, the each() function enumerates all elements of a hash in a fixed
sequence. But the order is arbitrary and the function itself -at least
in scalar context- an oddity, provided only to mimic the for()
functionality for lists.

A Win32 solution is mentioned here:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.perl.misc/browse_thread/thread/8e11b7e2e488f27b/a39bcde72f43cb2f?hl=en&lnk=st&q=#a39bcde72f43cb2f
In Unix, you could background the other script in
a subshell:
0 == system "(/path/to/other_script &)"
or die "system failed: $?";
But getting the return status of the backgrounded
task would be messy and you'd lose the control
and flexibility of the recommened IPC::Run or
fork solutions.

(1) See jue's hint
(2) use the ...{}-quantifier, eg.
/\*{5}/
to match exactly 5 asterisks, or
/\*{2,7}/
to match two up to seven of them.

Or, if you are backslash-averse as I am, you can write it as:

Maybe it should be (I dunno) but it makes no difference when I try
this suggestion, except the error message becomes

Maybe so. Nonetheless, I think my way (which is very specific to
myself) ought to work.

Ben - I sense the answer to my question is here, but I cannot quite
see it. Would you kindly elaborate?

Message-Id: <7a4e4ada-d250-4405-9439-316162966fd8@b2g2000prf.googlegroups.com>
Greetings.
I want to have my own module directory that is visible to all my Perl
programs without futzing with "use libs" and such in each program (and
I don't want to recompile Perl either). So I decided to put my module
in some version-independent directory in @INC.
So I do
perl -le 'print join "\n", @INC'
and see
...
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i586-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i586-linux-thread-multi
...
Hmm. /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl sounds good. So I create a
directory /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Filmer and therein place a little
test module named Foo.pm:
package Foo;
BEGIN {
use Exporter ();
our @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT = qw{ &bar };
}
sub bar {
return "Hello World\n";
}
1;
Now I write a little test program to call Filmer::Foo::bar
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Filmer::Foo;
print bar();
And Perl complains:
Undefined subroutine &main::bar called at ./foo.pl
It doesn't matter if I
use Filmer::Foo qw{ bar };
or
print Filmer::Foo::bar();
I know that Perl is checking in the Filmer directory, because if I try
to
use Filmer::Baz; # invalid - there is no Baz.pm
then Perl (rightly) complains
Can't locate Filmer/Baz.pm in...
So why isn't Perl finding bar()?
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Shouldn't that be
package Filmer::Foo;
?

You would probably be better off creating proper CPAN-style
distributions and installing them in the normal way. That way, when you
want to move the code to a new machine, you will already have all the
dependancy information. Adam Kennedy's pip (on CPAN) can be helpful when
installing distributions that aren't actually on CPAN.

You have created the file Filmer/Foo.pm but in this file you declare the
package Foo. 'use' assumes that file will declare the package
Filmer::Foo, so if you want ->import (and thus Exporter) to work, that
is what you will need to call the package.

Well, no. Neither Filmer::Foo->import nor Filmer::Foo::bar exist, so
Perl can't very well call them :).

How about setting PERL5LIB ?
PERL5LIB
A colon-separated list of directories in which to look for Perl
library files before looking in the standard library and the current
directory. If PERL5LIB is not defined, PERLLIB is used. When running taint
checks (because the script was running setuid or setgid, or the -T switch
was used), neither variable is used. The script should instead say
use lib "/my/directory";
