Message-Id: <0u5uv4tm2lcqqss1l4fjpe9mn748e8kkh1@4ax.com>
I'm still a novice at Perl. I'm trying to develop a simple script to
download a set of files from my server to my local drive. Although I'm not
getting any error messages, the script isn't performing. Help, please!
(BTW, using this script I have been able to change and delete file names
on the server, so I know I'm properly logged in.)
My script:
use CGI ':standard';
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
my $query = new CGI;
use Net::FTP;
my $home = 'myDomain';
my $directory="public_html/uploads";
my $fileTest = "Test.IRI";
my $localDir = 'F:/_Downloads';
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
$ftp=Net::FTP->new($host,Timeout=>240,Debug =>1,Passive=>1) or $error=1;
push @ERRORS, "Can't ftp to $host: $!\n" if $error;
if ($error) {push @ERRORS, "Can't connect to $host: $!\n";myerrors();}
print "Connected<br>\n";
$ftp->login("myusername","mypassword") or $error=1;
if ($error) {push @ERRORS, "Can't login to $host: $!\n";myerrors();}
$ftp->cwd($directory) or $error=1;
if ($error) {push @ERRORS, "Can't cd $!\n";myerrors();}
print "Successfully logged in to folder<br><br>\n";
chdir($localDir);
$ftp->binary();
$ftp->pasv ();
$ftp->get($fileTest) or $error=1;
if ($error) {push @ERRORS, "Can't get file $!\n";myerrors();}
print "Successfully downloaded $fileTest<br><br>\n";
@files=$ftp->ls() or $error=1;
if ($error) {push @ERRORS, "Can't get file list $!\n";myerrorsors();}
foreach(@files) {print "$_<br>\n";}
print "<br>\n";
$ftp->quit;
exit 0;
sub myerrorsors {$ftp->quit;print "Error: \n";print @ERRORS;exit 0;}
Thanks in advance for your direction,

You know what that does, right?

When you use :standard, you don't need to do that.

You may use single quotes there, to be consistent.

You're not 'print'ing any HTML.

Why are you not using
my $ftp = ..
there?
> push @ERRORS, "Can't ftp to $host: $!\n" if $error;
According to the documentation, $@ is what you want to use, not $!.
$ftp = Net::FTP->new("some.host.name", Debug => 0)
or die "Cannot connect to some.host.name: $@";
> if ($error) {push @ERRORS, "Can't connect to $host: $!\n";myerrors();}

Again, according to documentation, use the 'message' method:
$ftp->login("anonymous",'-anonymous@')
or die "Cannot login ", $ftp->message;
>
> $ftp->cwd($directory) or $error=1;

Use 'message' method there, and in the rest of the program.

Hopefully, after using the correct methods to display errors, and/or
using the Debug parameter, it'll help. Also, first get it working
without running as a CGI.

Perl will give you error messages if you ask it to, lots of them. Add the
following lines to the top of your script, after the #! line:
use warnings;
use strict;

Step 1 is to investigate if you got a Perl problem or a non-Perl
problem. Can you download files with another ftp client using the same
active/passive setting?

No but writing code to be fast, before one knows if the code isn't fast
enough leads to no end of problems.

I resorted to picking on the typos because the response you made didn't
make sense, even when the spelling was corrected. I didn't take the
reply seriously, it looked like you were just posting nonsense for the
sake of it, so I poked fun. If you were genuine, then please elaborate
and accept my apologies for my assumption.

You know robic0 aka sln and the BS he is writing. Where I worked before
to a major part the build system was Perl-driven. And we are not talking
about some obscure tiny dot-com but a very major software company and
several products that are the most widely used SW products on this
planet. Sorry, can't get more specific because of NDA.

I suppose that depends on a few variables. It depends if the energy and
time in writing code known to be the fastest, in whatever language is
most appropriate, if it'll really take that much longer. Hopefully,
the developer(s) will be aware and have that experience to not guess or
just do rough code that they work off of, if it's not already fast
code. I suppose I always code to make the most efficient and faster
running code, no matter what, regardless of the scale of the project.
I do agree that I might not always code in the faster language at first
and sometimes I regret that when it's necessary to benefit from it,
instead of upgrading systems.
But, as we all know and as I had agreed, a system upgrade might be
needed regardless. Decisions can be made at design time and as the
initial code is being written. No one will ever fault you for writing
code that's too good, so unless it takes an unreasonable amount of time
to do it right the first time, one should be able to make the decision
before they start and with the design stages, if some languages are
better suited. For the record, I code most of my programs in Perl and
not C, so keep that in mind when you read what I said. I must not be
explaining myself well.

Message-Id: <116f3dba-0e20-4a1e-b700-3b404d9ab40b@k9g2000pra.googlegroups.com>
On Windows XP, perl 5.10, Excel 2003, Win32 OLE.
No problems with perl creating an Excel spreadsheet, everything seems
to work quite well. The two problem that still remains is:
1) I am trying to freeze pane at row 2:
my $freeze_panes = $gExcel->ActiveSheet->Range("2:2")->Select;
#$gSheet->Cells(2,2)->Select();
$gExcel->ActiveSheet->{FreezePanes} = $TRUE;
I've tried it a couple of ways. After I create and save the excel file
with perl, I can open this new file and I see I am somewhat close, in
that row 2 is highlighted, but the freeze pane has not taken affect.
2) The second problem is that I want to detect if when starting my
script, is Excel already running? What can happen is that the user
abnormally terminates, and leaves a copy of Excel in memory. The only
way to detect this is using MS Task Manager, and kill the excel
process. I'd like my perl script to see if excel is running when it
first comes up, so that I can prompt the user to close excel...

Please don't give this creep any advise about news servers. I think
they've shown they are abusive enough that the group would benefit if
they would just go away and never come back.

The guy is just an idiot and a low life. He's managed to piss off most
members on this group and a lot of people have blocked his messages
from being seen in their news readers. He made the threats, not me.
He's just an abusive ass clown and you can't take him seriously. And,
believe me, this guy threatening to "kick the shit out of me" is really
not a worry. Not that I don't secretly wish for the day that some
usenet troll actually got enough nerve to track me down and show up at
my home or work, because that would be something I'd also pay money to
see. No threats here, just a great outlet for some online frustration,
so I secretly hope it happens. I'll be sure to video tape it if it
does, but he's just a trash talking, abusive usenet troll.

I don't agree that there's always two to blame (at least not equally),
but that's just my view. The guy really stepped up his abuse the last
day and I've also filtered him out. At this point, I just let the
other poster know what was going on. Of course, it serves no purpose,
but just playing the silence game isn't going to make a different with
this particular troll. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, so I
have blocked him.

And there is the perfect example of what I mean. People bitch about you
replying to other people, adding to the problem, and are just as
guilty, but feel the need to "killfile" you because you actually say
that thought outloud about not thinking the two are exactly equal.
Thus, you've called me a troll and killed filed me, for calling sln a
troll and killfiling him. Somehow, you doing exactly what I did makes
you the better person? Give me a break. The same rules apply to you,
and you needn't lose your head about it and act like you "need" to
killfile me as if I'm some problem, unless that's your way of saying
you have a problem. Guess what, I don't put up with your arrogant crap
anymore than I do his. If people replying to you is such a big threat
or problem, maybe you should find some other place to go besides
usenet.
