ITYM \012 and \015 there. \0-escapes are in octal.

"\n" can *never* mean "\015\012": on Win32 it means "\012", just as on
Unix. If "\n" was more than one byte/character (take your pick) long,
practically everything would break. AFAIK the only platforms where "\n"
ne "\012" are Mac OS Classic and the EBCDIC platforms, both of which are
obsolete as far as Perl is concerned.

IMHO your best bet is to normalize the newlines before looking for
"\n"s.

He meant 10/13 respectfully.
Lets get this table going just for grins:
lf crlf cr
dec 10 13,10 13
hex 0a 0d,0a 0d
oct 012 015,012 015
But how should binary intended be interpreted if opened for translation?
Even if ascii and invalidness.
The recovery of a applies to all regexp valid regex cannot create a mixed
mode platform with append. Either all is converted OR invalid, or
none is converted.
No 0a0a0d0d0a0a. Naw, invalid. At best, recover what is possible,
rewrite file, right the ship, destroy old. Don't tell anybody about it.
Delete file, exit with success, or reformat hd, send it to deep magnetic
disk recovery for partial recovery, tracks wiped clean.

But then how come that the file created by this little program
open FOO, ">" , "foo";
print FOO "k\n" x 20;
close FOO;
is 60 bytes long instead of 40 as would to be expected if the 'k' and
the "\n" each were only one byte long?
C:\tmp>dir foo

Depends on what has edited it and how it is written out.
Open in Word/Windows, a 0d only eol and it edits each line
as a odoa. Modify and save it, I think it keeps only od.
But Word jacks a lot of stuff, especially encoding.

IMO, irrelevant. "Exception" is anything which "does not come from a
standard program flow"; the boundary is, as always, fuzzy (in some
situations it is useful to consider return() as an exception too...
Not for Perl docs, I believe...).
Hope this helps,

Doesn't that play havoc with the ref counts?

Why would it do that? longjmp unwinds the C stack, not the Perl stack;
perl unwinds the Perl stack after setjmp returns with the code meaning
'die was called' and SvREFCNT_decs everything that needs it. See cop.h.

Just "push (@{$hash{$key}}, $value);". Perl will autovivicate the array
if it doesn't exist.

Checklist:
1. Add association file extension .pl "%1" %*
2. Add .pl to PATHEXT (now an executable)
3. Add directory to PATH
4. Open a cmd window, type perl foobar
5. Double click .pl file from explorer to edit

if any do you send packetised over the connection. Do you ever do

Thanks for side stepping all of the other valid points I had made, just
to repeat what you accused me of previously. In the end, the problem
is that there is a lot of unnecessary arrogance and rudeness on usenet
(it's not just you two). If someone gives a reason, while it's all
pretty petty anyway, at least that's understandable. But, to just have
this shitty attitude in general to everyone, I think it's a bit
strange. Indeed, I believe people like you are out of control, rather
than the people that don't tolerate it, but I'm sure we can both
"control" ourselves enough to just ignore all of the bullshit.

You lost me. Its got to be the CGI interface to a perl script that apparently
slows the pace to what 12 dynamic pages/minute? Because I could easily generate
100's per second dynamic pages in Perl.
The cgi modules to perl are pretty standard, no? Its not perl that would slow
page generation, must be the cgi.
Glad to give any demonstrations on page generation/sec in a perl program.

Either exclude the comma in the range of characters for the
first match:
| $sentence =~ s/([^,]*)(,)(.*)/$3$2$1/;
or use the "greedy"/"non-greedy" approach:
| $sentence =~ s/(.*?)(,)(.*)/$3$2$1/;

No, perl _does_ start at the beginning, but it has 2 possible
matches for the first .*
word1 word2 word3, word4, word5 word6
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It must choose one. By default it chooses the longest one (it is greedy).

Greed would be the reason for result you are getting.

What does it mean that regexes are greedy? How can I get around it?

See ^, [^,] and *.? and the options you have for using them. (^ start of
string. [^,] negate (anything but), and *.? non greedy.
