Message-Id: <Xns9BADBA61E5FC56650A1FC0D7811DDBC81@85.214.105.209>
I tried installing Math::Calc::Units by using " perl -MCPAN -e 'install
Math::Calc::Units'" but it leads to an error during "make test"
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
Should I force it? How does one force through CPAN?
Incidently "make test" failed because:
##############
Running make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"

Maybe there is a way to remedy that and thus get a clean installation?

perl -MCPAN -eshell
cpan[1]> force install Math::Calc::Units
or
cpan -fi Math::Calc::Units
if you have the 'cpan' script installed. Presumably there's a way to do
it from the perl -MCPAN -e... command line, but I don't know it.

What sort of perl install do you have that doesn't have Test::More? It's
been core since 5.6.2. Are you using some OS that thinks it's a good
idea to break the core perl install into a whole lot of separate
packages? You really want to fix that as soon as possible, or you're
likely to run into other problems later.
Of course, strictly it's a bug in Math::Calc::Units not to declare its
dependancy.

1. A class is not a module and vice versa.
2. A constructor is not called automatically.

Okay, your are right, a tied object is precisely detectable. This is
what I miss for scalars in the filehandle API. But ties are slow and
I don't like the code very much.

No, it's not an xy problem. I asked a concrete question
about Perls filehandle API and I know by myself what I have to conclude from
the (in this case: negative) answer.

You cannot use undef in a comparison. Perl will just convert it
internally to a numeric, or in this case, a string representation of
"false", 0 or '' respectively. You shouldn't use a list in scalar
context. If you had warnings enabled then perl would have warned about
this.
if ( not defined $ARGV[ 0 ] ) {
> $filename1="no dest filename" ;
> } else {
> $filename1=@ARGV[0];
$filename1 = $ARGV[ 0 ];
> }
Or if you have Perl version 5.10 installed you could write that as:
my $filename1 = $ARGV[ 0 ] // 'no dest filename';
For older perl's that would be:
my $filename1 = defined $ARGV[ 0 ] ? $ARGV[ 0 ] : 'no dest filename';

couple of nits to pick. undef is coerced to '' with eq since it is
string context. and @ARGV[0] is a slice but it will return a single
value here. sure it is incorrect but it will work.

you should know better. the best way to check for elements in an array
is checking its count. since he wants only one arg this should do fine:
@ARGV or die "missing file name argument" ;
my $filename = shift ;
and to the OP, you can never have an undef in @ARGV unless you put it
there yourself. @ARGV is passed in from the exec call (the shell does
this for command line programs) and shell doesn't know about undef.

Which of these is better also is there any other ways to handle the

If you don't write code that opens that potential, you needn't worry
about using things like mod_security. That's just a way to stop
attacks on vulnerable scripts before it hits the script, which is
backward thinking for resolving a problem (if you control the script).
Exactly what things are you doing (and how are you going about doing
them) where you're introducing the potential for an XSS attack issue?

You should always enable strictures in Perl programs.

"use strict" would have found the bug in the line above if you
had only asked it to...

Straightforward webbased user interface, templates, some jQuery for
DHTML and AJAX. Fully useable without a mouse too, commandline widget on
every page for powerusers.

No.

Subject: PPM vs CPAN
Message-Id: <da2fc436-dce1-4f2f-a758-04423d03d3b0@t3g2000yqa.googlegroups.com>
I had a weird experience today. Using ActiveState Perl on a WinXP box,
I attempted to install a module from CPAN using the PPM shell. System
hung for about 15 minutes before I got the prompt back. A second
attempt had the same results. Finally, using CPAN to install the same
module successfully completed the task in a matter of seconds. I don't
recall whether it was on the order of 10 seconds or 100 seconds, but
the job was finished when I had poured myself a cup of coffee.
I've always had better results with PPM on this particular machine
than with CPAN, and I'm just wondering what the difference could be.

Do you mean 'system hung', or do you mean 'ppm hung'? Did the mouse
freeze? Did the cmd window stop refreshing itself? Could you ^C the
process?

Presumably since they're downloading different files they are talking to
different machines, and the ppm machine wasn't responding. I am
surprised it hung for 15 minutes without some sort of timeout firing
(even if only the 'this isn't working... ^C' sort of timeout :) ).
