If you have IO::Uncompress::Zlib & IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2, then the code
below will allow you to read .gz , .bz2, .zip etc plus non-compressed files
as well.
use IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress;
for my $file (@ARGV)
{
my $fh = new IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress $file, Transparent => 1
or die "Cannot open $file: $AnyUncompressError\n";
while (<$fh>)
{
# whatever
}
}
The trick is to include the 'Transparent' option when using
IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress. That will get it to read uncompressed files
if it doesn't detect any compression.

There's a huge difference between having enough of a sense of the scope
and requirements to be able to determine whether the project should take
six weeks, six months, or six years, and having a spec detailed enough
to code from.
I pointed out that you are in the former situation, and that signing a
contract means that you take the blame when you don't deliver what they
wanted (but never specified - you have no clear sense of the
requirements) on a certain deadline (which may or may not be an
impossible task - you have no clear idea what the scope is).
It is true but irrelevant that the latter situation is frequently
unattainable.

This is extremely unprofessional behavior, *because* of the intellectual
property issues it creates. There should be a clear line between what
the university owns and what you own, and the difference should be made
clear in writing.

When your employer pays you to do the work, in the absence of a contract
to the contrary, the code you write is the intellectual property of the
employer. If you do not want this to be the case, you need to get
something in writing from your employer that says otherwise.
In particular, if you take code that belongs to your current employer
and use it for your new employer, you are violating intellectual
property rights and exposing both your old employer and your new
employer to lawsuits. You don't have the rights to the code you wrote
for hire; your current employer would need to license the code to your
new employer.
You may find it arrant nonsense, but for the most part, it's the law,
and you have a professional obligation to behave ethically. Playing
fast and loose with this sort of thing is a very good way to torpedo
your consulting career before it gets off the ground.

In the jurisdiction in which I live and work, I'd want a clear contract
between me and my employer that makes it clear who owns (copyright in)
any code I develop at work, at home or elsewhere. Otherwise the employer
might reasonably expect that they own any code I put into software for them.
I'd want wording that said ACME SpaceCars Inc is buying a licence for
J.Random.Developer's Foo and Bar libraries and that all rights in those
libraries remain the property of J.Random.Developer. I might consider
lodging the source of those libraries in escrow so that I can prove what
they consisted of at the time of the agreement. There's still a probable
grey area if you improve the libraries in the course of applying them to
the employer's applications.

I understand what you are saying, but it still doesn't answer my
question: who exactly gets to decide what is and isn't acceptable for
everyone in a news group? AKAIK, no one simple person can claim
ownership of a news group, so telling someone something along the lines
of "this is not a help desk" is legislating your own beliefs, which is
contrary to what Usenet is and how it works (at least in terms of open
non-moderated groups.)

Take a look at that part of answer (yes, it's taken out of context, but
that's what reader sees first):
my $foo = 'Fred';
my $bar = 'Barney';
$string = 'Say hello to $foo and $bar';
The question states C<How can I expand variables in text strings?>. The
unexpert reader (me?) doesn't get why C<q()> is used in place of
C<qq()>. The latter perfectly expands I<$foo> and I<$bar>.
May be I've missed something again, but I failed to find in neither
question nor answer any notion that I<$foo> and I<$bar> are undefined at
compile time. BTW, the answer misses either discussion or redirection
why C<$string = eval { "Say hello to $foo and $bar"; };> is bad.

The (implicit) assumption is that $string is *not* literally specified
in the program source, but comes from somewhere else: perhaps user
input, perhaps a data file. So the fact qq-expansion hasn't been applied
is part of the spec, and the question could be rephrased 'how can I
emulate what Perl does when I use qq()?'.

Since that quoted string can never throw an exception[0], the eval {} is
completely useless. You possibly meant eval STRING rather than eval
BLOCK: since the /ee modifier on a substitution performs an eval STRING,
this is what the first answer suggests.
[0] well, unless $foo or $bar is tied or an object with string
overloading, I suppose...

Obviously no routine can say no such file exists until, in one way or
another, it has examined all of the files.
Did you try globbing to see if it is any faster:
$found = 0;
if (</usr/home/lars/saves/*.cgi>){
$found = 1;
}

On Linux, file name extensions are not required and if present, may not
be a reliable guide to file type. `man file`.
For Windows, consider ADT, AFM, ALL etc in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_formats_(alphabetical)
I guess you have control of these files and so the above isn't an issue
in this case.

Create, maintain and use an index or cache? I'd use a hash, maybe backed
by DBM or suchlike. I'd schedule index updates or use the OS'
directory-change notification mechanism to ensure file additions,
deletions and renames get indexed.

Message-Id: <slrng9imqi.1pfu.usenet@debranded.larseighner.com>
I'm using perl 5.8.8 on FreeBSD.
I understand that getc() defaults to STDIN when an argument is not
specified, and getc() does not work until ENTER is hit at the keyboard
(i.e. STDIN). However, on the second call to get(), it appears I
get the next character from the same line (which might be the
newline from the ENTER, or might be 'e' if 'yes\n' was typed instead
of 'y\n'.
What's the right way to throw away the junk from the previous line?

Message-Id: <09b948e6-3e15-4617-96c2-611874e7a633@m36g2000hse.googlegroups.com>
I need to perform a conditional on a regexp match. How can I do that
(easily) in PERL.
The following prints out all lines - also the ones, that doesnt match
the regular expression.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
open FILEHANDLE, "soatest.soa";
while (<FILEHANDLE>){
if (/^\*| XI/) {
print "match in line: $.\n";
}
}

I'm not sure what you mean by a 'PPM'. Are you referring to
ActiveState's Perl Package Manager packages? If so, then you don't need
to turn your script into a package before you turn it into an
executable: the package would only be useful if you wanted to give it
to someone else with a copy of ActiveState Perl already installed.

I suspect there won't be many people here who know much about Perl Dev
Kit Pro, since it isn't freely available, but the PAR::Packer module on
CPAN provides a pp command that makes it very easy to do just that.

OK, now I'm really confused. Surely you mean 'game.exe'?

That is certainly possible with pp, and I am sure it's possible with
ActiveState's tool as well. Write a Perl script you can invoke like
perl game start
perl game display -name "Slickuser"
(see @ARGV in perlvar if you need help with that) and then package it up
with your tool of choice.
