Subject: access variables from array and set it back
Message-Id: <2c374bec-05b5-41f3-8f7b-6cc1b9bf8d4c@l16g2000pra.googlegroups.com>
I have these variables:
my $path1 = 'c:\abc';
my $filea = 'Y:\a.txt';
my $namex = 'Dr. X';
I want to push this into a hash array or array of variables & values.
Later on, I want loop through these array and modify the value and set
back to the variable.
do a loop now
get variable back
change value
$path1 = 'c:\newpath';
$filea = 'Y:\newfilea.txt';
$namex = 'Dr. Y';
How can I achieve something like this? Thanks.

May I suggest that you get your terminology straightened out first? It
makes communication so much easier if everyone uses the same terms for
the same things.
There are hashes: they are mappings from strings to scalars. In the old
days they were also called associative arrays.
There are arrays: they are mappings from (consecutive whole) numbers to
scalars.
There are variables: they can be any of scalar, array, hash, and a few
other types.
And there are values: they are typically stored in variables.
Now, having said that, there are no arrays of variables.

Wild guess: maybe you are looking for a simple hash?
%myhash = (path1 => 'c:\newpath',
filea => 'Y:\newfilea.txt',
namex => 'Dr. Y};
You can loop through the entries by
foreach (keys(%myhash) {
print $myhash{$_};
}
And of course you can assign and modify the values as you please, too.
Or are you looking for references, i.e. you want to store a reference to
each of your variables in such a hash or an array and then work with
those references?

I want to reference the variables and change the value to that
reference variable.

Š ŠŠÆ and Š ŠŠŠŠ Š. I had thought about Š¤ŠŠŠŠ, but just discovered that
while it's documentation (reachable for me) was in pure Russian (while
the language itself was pure English) it happend to be copied(?)
(stolen(?) or bought(?)) from FOCAL (of 1969). OTOH, the implementation
was surely broken; then either that was reimplementation (so it
constitutes a stand alone language) or ŠŠ-0010 was actually PDP-8?
Puzzled.
And one more; both languages have their syntax russianized, but the
symbols aren't. Weird.

Subject: How to check that a filehandle is open?
Message-Id: <slrngv5acq.b36.nospam-abuse@chorin.math.berkeley.edu>
Re the subject: 10 years ago I would check
defined fileno $fh
But nowadays, filehandle does not necessarily has an OS file
descriptor associated to it...
I could also check *$fh{IO} - but it would be defined if, e.g., $fh is
\*FOO, and a bareword FOO was *mentioned* in the code at place where
filehandle is expected (the code may not be ever executed, just
mentioning is enough). Moreover, I expect that *$fh{IO} survives
after close()ure of $fh.
I could do
defined eval { seek $fh, 0, 1 }
but the answer is ALWAYS defined (although sometimes ''), and, to add
insult to injury, would send a warning in my wake...
So: what should one do to check that $fh is open()?
Thanks,
Ilya

*sigh* Not "standard" as in distributed with Perl.
But Text::Undiacritic is in CPAN and is therefore easy to get.

We hear this all too common:
"I have one huge problem with Perl; it is too slow."
But is Perl realy slow, could perl be slow at all?
The problem is that most programmers associate an implementation of a
programming
language with the language it self. The current interpreter is too
slow and hence programmers
think that 'Perl' is too slow.
Perl5 doesn't perform anything to make Perl machine like-able, Perl5
is infact hated by machines
where the Perl5 program is being executed.
Though however, with Perl6 the maintainers of the programming language
are hoping to reduce the
runtime overhead of using Perl over the traditional programming
languages such as C.
But is Perl ready to be used for huge projects or is other languges
such as Python taking over??
What are we going to do??

*'WE'* are going to ignore trolls like you who don't know from slow vs
fast. you can create slow programs in any language. i can write perl
that runs faster than most people can in their favorite language. you
question is useless.

Did not see the original message. The excerpt above is not informative
enough to guess what QSM wanted.
[As documented in any perl*.inf (the `About' node), one needs to cd to
pod directory of Perl build hierarchy, and start pod2ipf.
More info on how to build a binary distribution should be given in
the OS2 node of any perl*.inf...
Myself, I still can't find time to build the dozen of recalcitrant
module distributions to complete the "normally huge" distribution of
5.8.8.]
Hope this helps,
Ilya

Perhaps you want to modify the indent variables when loading perl-
mode.el?

I'm aware of the off-topic part (half?) of my question, but:
1/ the author of cperl (thank you very much for that code) seems to
read this newsgroup,
2/ Perl coders sometimes use (X?)Emacs ;-)
3/ Some of those coders may have run into the same trouble...

That's what I tried before posting, based on informations from the cperl
minidocs but with not much luck, and to set cperl-close-paren-offset
to several negative values...
I also tried to track what changed before cperl-5.1 because my settings
did not changed during the past few years (if it's not broken...)
Thanks for your reply anyway,
Julien

All changes should be documented in cperl-mode.el.

No. Let me try (untested):
* in a {}-delimited regex escaping '{' won't make it into a literal.
(AND unescaped '{' should properly nest).
[There are two different mechanisms of unescaping in the lifetime of
a REx.
a) First, the parser removes delimiters (and unescapes escaped
delimiters) (it may also remove certain other escapes - do not
remember details).
b) The result is passed to REx engine. It processes all the
remaining special-for-REx escapes.
I did not have time to document it when I was working on Perl
RExes. I doubt the docs improved from that time...]
The difference is kinda subtle. E.g., variables interpolated in RExes
are subject ONLY to "b"-unescaping. Also, one can see the result of
"a" in debugging output of
use re 'debugcolor';
Hope this helps,
Ilya
P.S. If one tries to use \ as a delimiter, one can get yet funnier
quirks of this 2-step semantic... ;-)

I wouldn't say they become metacharacters, they are metacharacters.
That is what they started as, and that is what they return to when their

Of course there is. If they were not quoted, they would be either hash
constructors or code blocks, rather than either literal characters or
regex special characters.

They don't always come in pairs. What if the literal string you wanted
to match were '{0,0' ?

Just because it prints yes when you expect it to doesn't mean it works
as intended. If you intend to do addition, then 2*2 gives the expected
answer, yet doesn't work as intended.

Turn the m into a q and print the result:
/home/user> perl -wle 'print q{\A\{0,0\}\Z}'
\A{0,0}\Z
/home/user> perl -wle 'print q/\A\{0,0\}\Z/'
\A\{0,0\}\Z
This is a generic property of quote like operators, not peculiar to the
regex variety of them.
