Subject: Finding packages with ActiveState
Message-Id: <0i6tg6t79mom5oork45m5u2pi9h2v40r7t@library.airnews.net>
I'm moving to a new system and I've just installed the latest ActiveState
Perl [5.12] and in order to get several of my existing perl scripts to work
I need several packages that aren't there. I'm just running PPM "out of
the box" -- is there something I should do to tell it to "look harder" to
find modules? [the ones I need [at the moment, I'll probably run into more
missing ones as I move more scripts over] are Net::NNTP, Net::SMTP,
Mail::Header, few others. I need File::Basename, but I only see
File::Basename::Object in the package list???]
Thanks! /bernie\

As a footnote, I realize that most likely what I'll need to do is add some
repositories to PPM... I looked at the two or three that ActiveState
mentions but I can't tell if one of them is one that'll really "plug the
holes". Another thing is that I also realize that some of those packages
aren't PPM'ed because they're basically obsolete, and within bounds I guess
I'd be willing to recode some of the scripts to use more-current packages
-- but again, I'm not sure how to pursue that. is there some way to find
out that "Mail::Header" has been superseded by dunno::what?
Thanks! /b\

All of the modules you refer to are present in my Activestate
installation (5.12.2, win32), without the need for ppm. The Net::*
modules are part of the libnet package, anf File::Basename is a core
module. This suggests that there may be something wrong with your
installation. Some simple command line checks should confirm that, like
'perl -v' to check that you are running the version of perl that you
have installed, and 'perl -MFile::Basename -e1' to check that perl can
find the specified module.

Just run 'ppm repo suggest' and then add the ones suggested (unless
they already show up on 'ppm repo list').
ie:
ppm repo add bribes
ppm repo add log4perl
ppm repo add sisyphusion
ppm repo add trouchelle
ppm repo add uwinnipeg
ppm repo add wxperl
Then, if you want to install Some::Module, just run:
ppm install Some::Module
and if a ppm package for Some::Module exists on one of those repos it
will be installed.
If you first want to check which of the repos provides a ppm package
for Some::Module (without actually installing it) just run:
ppm search Some::Module
Cheers,
Rob

Nope, stupid operator error. I was looking in PPM for the packages loaded,
rather than in the actual docs for the available-packages. The only one
that seems to be missing is Mail::Header, and I vaguely remember [this from
years ago] that the mail manipulation stuff was redone a long time ago and
that the Mail:: modules really are ancient... looks like Email::Address
will probably do what I needed from Mail::Header. Thanks for the sanity
check...

Cool... I'll do that, although as mentioned in the other folk on this
thread, my actual problem was operator error and not anything to do with
ActiveState... tnx! /b\

Message-Id: <55d176be-8608-48e3-a837-ddee5789d9f1@i18g2000yqn.googlegroups.com>
Hi, I'm using Perl 5.8.9 on Mac 10.6.3. I regularly run a search and
replace expression from the terminal, but when the replacing
expression contains an apostraphe, the replace doesn't work.
Specifically, I have
perl -pi -e 's/(\d\d\d)/\'$1\'/g' /tmp/output
but this is apparently not the right way to add apostraphes. What
would be the right way? Thanks, - Dave

Apostrophes. Or single quotes.
But this is a shell problem more than a Perl problem.
Two solutions come to my mind:
perl -pi -e 'BEGIN{$q=3Dchr(39)}s/(\d\d\d)/$q$1$q/g' /tmp/output
perl -pi -e 's/(\d\d\d)/chr(39) . $1 . chr(39)/eg' /tmp/output

Thanks. Regarding the first solution, I tried what you suggested and
got a pile of compilation errors. I'm using bash shell. Here's the
output ...
davea-mbp2:~ davea$ perl -pi -e 's/BEGIN{$q=3Dchr(39)}s/(.*),(.*)/$q$1$q/
g' /tmp/output
Scalar found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "s/
BEGIN{$q=3Dchr(39)}s/(.*),(.*)/$q"
Scalar found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "$q$1"
(Missing operator before $1?)
Scalar found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "$1$q"
(Missing operator before $q?)
syntax error at -e line 1, near "s/BEGIN{$q=3Dchr(39)}s/(.*),(.*)/$q"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
Any additional thoughts are appreciated, - Dave

The word is spelled "apostrophe".
The character is named a "single quote".

That is because perl is not even being run...

You do not have a Perl problem.
You have a shell problem.
A simple solution is to not use single quote to quote your shell
arguments.
perl -pi -e "s/(\d\d\d)/'\$1'/g" /tmp/output
Of course, you then need to escape the Perl variables so that
they are not treated as shell variables.

The first two characters are "BE" here.

You should copy/paste code rather than (attempt to) retype it.
