The only reason that a windows box generates the [n] format is a
half-baked attempt to create a new version of the same filename -
similar to the VMS OS disk:[dir.subdir]file.ext;version. Most Open
Source ports to VMS generally turns this into /disk/dir/subdir/file.ext
where the OS will automatically return the latest "version" of the
file unless otherwise specified and automatically increments the version
upon "creating" a "duplicate" filename. example below: (login.com is
similar to autoexec.bat(windows) and .profile (*N*X))
Directory somedevice1:[sometopdir.someusername]
LOGIN.COM;37
LOGIN.COM;36
LOGIN.COM;35
LOGIN.COM;34
LOGIN.COM;33
LOGIN.COM;32
LOGIN.COM;31
LOGIN.COM;30
Total of 8 files.
So, the issue is not just that *Magick convert.exe has a problem dealing
with the file name and creating a perceived performance issue, you have
an issue where (to me at least - and I could be wrong) the file you are
generating - say th_IMG_8699[5].jpg could potentially not be the same
image as th_IMG_8699.jpg, th_IMG_8699[1].jpg, th_IMG_8699[2].jpg ....
You now have a "data" issue. While these are unique, but similar names,
they potentially do not represent the same image. I do not see your code
where you transform/read/determine the filename to be written, but a
simple routine to make it entirely unique - without the "[n]" would not
be out of the question here and would solve the overall problem - giving
you time for submitting a bug report to the *magick folks.

Hi, thanks for the thoughts.
The output filename $photonr is a unique / non existing filename. Just
before this conversion it has been generated and tested by the Perl
script itself, not by Windows.
I have suspected a Windows mechanism here, but it turned out not to be
the case.
One was the generation of short-filenames, the
shell-file-folder-extension mechanism, or wildcard issues.
I have now excluded all of these.
I have just discovered GriphicsMagic
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1878992&group_id=73485&atid=537937
which is derived from ImageMagick.
Its a fixed bug/issue, but I think only for the input filename, and
not (as in my case) for the output filename.
Will check with them, and also with ImageMagick.
Richard.

Correct.

No. It would not "attempt to quote". It would just "quote".

This does not make any sense to me. One can always implement a
Turing machine emulator in your script, and then program the Turing
machine. It will work as far as your emulation and the Turing machine
program are "correct".
The problem is HOW to make it "correct". And if you do not care about
"how", and just want correct operation, use multi-arg system().
[As you saw, Sinan could not find "correct" quoting to make one-arg
call equivalent to multi-arg one...]
Hope this helps,
Ilya

Thank you for your patience. I have to redact certain information,
but probably should have used '@example.com' instead of '@localhost'
to avoid misinterpretation.
That said, yes, the actual error message said "Access denied for user:
'@example.com' " with no username. It appears that something between
the sample program and the network scrubbed the username and
password. I verified it was getting as far as into Net::Mysql, but
could not follow past that.
And, yes, that doesn't seem right to me either.

Those just do different tests (or are supposed to do). But (and) see

Subject: perl as email client
Message-Id: <r1gfh4xu6pwi.11rqztaxprs4$.dlg@40tude.net>
I've used perl as a usenet client before, but now that I have a site out
there with an email address that is supposed to get to me, and I wanted to
look at it through the rubric of perl.
How would a person use perl to simulate what OE does?
What activestate modules are required for a given method? I would have to
think there would be as many ways to do this in perl as building a wall for
a carpenter.

Chip Salzenberg sent me a complete patch to add System V IPC (msg, sem and
shm calls), so I added them. If that bothers you, you can always undefine
them in config.sh. :-) -- Larry Wall in <9384@jpl-devvax.JPL.NASA.GOV>

Anything with POP3 in it would be a starting point. But Perl is a language,
not a usenet client -- you mean you wrote a usenet client in Perl.
You can do POP3 with a telnet client if you wish, which would be a good
place to start how e-mail clients commincate with the servers.
