Could you comment on why Perl would not be a good language to use for
nuclear plant monitoring, as in your example? What are its major
weaknesses? What language is more suitable for applications that
demand high reliability and up time?

Some languages
* have compilers that are validied for reliability in critical
applications.
* include facilities to help program verification.
* support run-time checks to protect against various types of
programming bug.
AFAIK Perl doesn't (much).

I don't think the FAQ needs changing. YMMV.

Most languages are unsuitable for work where things absolutely cannot
fail. It's not something that's specific to Perl.

Perl doesn't seem to reserve any memory the front of the string
automatically. If $gras was previously front-shortened, for example by
using
substr $gras, 0, 10, "";
Then it seems that $gras = $pre.$gras; is optimized to edit in place rather
than copying.
Oddly, this works even if $pre is longer than the amount of
front-shortening. Apparently in that case it triggers code that slides the
contents of $gras down enough to make room at the front, without making an
entirely new copy. It seems that it could do this same thing if no
front-shortening had occurred, but for some reason it doesn't.
Also, the use of 30 Gig for $gras = $pre.$gras; (when there is no front
shortening) is transient. When the old contents of $gras are freed, my
implementation of perl actually returns that memory to the OS and shrinks
back to 20G
> $gras = $pre.$gras.$needle;
That too seems to trigger non-copying in-place editing of $gras, provided
it had previously been front-shortened.

I would recommend Sys::Mmap::Simple instead (but since I wrote it I'm not
exactly unbiased), in particular its function map_anonymous which is made
exactly for this kind of situation (more reasons to prefer it are in the
perldoc).

Hi,
I would like to call a subroutine without using an eval statement that
has a scaler in the context.
ie.
my $class = FakeClass->new();
my $type = $class->GetType();
$class->DoSomething_$type();
Any ideas?

Subject: inputting the ephemerides
Message-Id: <1x83tkcjxizri.7vvnwjo82ona$.dlg@40tude.net>
Happy Bye George Day!
I've been chipping away at a long-term project: investigating the
ephemeris. I think it would make a great way to continue exploring perl's
pattern-matching capabilities.
So I'll have a program that looks like this:
my $filename = 'eph3.txt';
open(my $fh, '<', $filename) or die "cannot open $filename: $!";
while (<$fh>) {
print $_;
}
close($fh)
# perl faulk10.pl
or
open(my $fh, '<', 'eph3.txt');
while (my $line = <$fh>) {
print $line;
}
close($fh)
# perl faulk7.pl
I'll want to have an explicit variable for the line, so I'll use the better
parts of the above.
The first thing I'll want to do is capture the first seven characters in a
line. We can assume that these will always be letters or spaces padded out
to the right.
After that, I want to strip away all the characters, as does the following
fortran routine. In this treatment $line would be inrec .
subroutine WasteNonDigits(inrec)
character*80 inrec
character*1 c1,c2
character*13 ValidDigits
data ValidDigits/'0123456789.-+'/
n=13
do i=1,80
c1=' '
c2=inrec(i:i)
do j=1,n
if(c2.eq.ValidDigits(j:j)) c1=c2
end do
inrec(i:i)=c1
end do
return
end subroutine
Ultimately, I want to populate an object that I think would be pretty tame
by perl standards.
This is the data set:

You know, this is terribly similar to something I have seen a few weeks
ago from some George character. Are you sure you are not suffereing from

See "perldoc -f substr".

And what exactly does that Fortran routine do? Not everyone speaks
Fortran, therefore an abstract specification or at least a detailed
description would be much better than dumping some code in some foreign
programming language.
Again, that George was dumping Fortran code into this NG, too.

He was George, said he was changing his posting name in celebration of
George being out of office. I also can't wrap my head around his
example of posting code that opens a file and prints and then another
snippet basically being the same, just without error checking. Weird.
I stopped reading and moved on.

I want to be able to read a text file every 10 minutes or so. Since
the file can get pretty large over time, I want to pick up where I
left off earlier. Is this possible using Perl ?

The tell() function can tell you the current position in a file and
the function seek will take you to a given position in a file. Then
you just need to store this offset somewhere.
If you have a long running perl process which reads to the end of
file, waits ten minutes and want to read further, you can use seek to
clear the end of file-state without reopening the file or without
using tell. $fh->clearerr() should do the same.

perldoc -f sleep

perldoc -f seek
You could also take a look at "perldoc -q tail"
