check the MIME module for the Base64 stuff. you should be able to find
it along with other really keen modules at your nearest CPAN (Comphrensive
Perl Archive Network), which you can find through your favorite search
engine.

It is a bug in perl, rather than in the File;:Copy program. It is fixed

the fix you have (or accepting the warning).

I love BBEdit. It saved me from having to use the Macintosh port of VIM
when I wanted to edit/process text rather than "design" a document.
The syntax coloring in BBEdit needs some work allright. It was thrown in
by Bare Bones Software in a minor revision. Rumor has it that it was a
hack to the text engine that they where using internally, which had become
stable enough for public release.
Anyway, it's good enough for simple Perl programming on a Macintosh and I
think you can expect it to improve in future versions. If you do a lot of
work on Macs and don't already have m{[xX]?emacs} installed; it may be an
adequate solution.

There's nothing internally different between the numbers 2.0 and
2.00000000, but you can choose which one to print out by using printf or
sprintf. Hope this helps!

You might try something like:
$trans{'$'} = '\$';
$trans{'\\'} = '$\backslash$';
s/([$\\])/$trans{$1}/g;
If some of the things which need to be processed are more than one
character, you can put them as alternatives, such as
s/([$\\]|%%)/$trans{$1}/g;
or whatnot. Just don't forget to create an entry in %trans!

Subject: Large Project Code Organization
Message-Id: <32F6AA01.57E5@cdrom.com>
I've been using Perl for a while now. In the beginning it was quite
handy
to just whip up a script to do this or that. But as time went on, I
needed
to code larger and larger projects.
First I tried having a standard library file, containing common
constants
and low-level functions. All the scripts in a given project would
"require"
this library. And for a while, everything was happy.
But then I noticed my scripts growing out of control with new features
and
improvements. I attempted to break them up to perform smaller
operations.
The directories started to grow cluttered and disorganized (and I don't
like
that). So I got a hot cup of coffee and started thinking, "What exactly
am
I trying to accomplish here?" How should this be structured?
I think there at least 4 fundamental types of script projects we as Perl
coders do.
1. Total hack scripts... get something done quickly.
2. Decent single scripts... gonna use this regularly.
3. Small projects, have common library file.
4. Large projects, keep building and building until it becomes too large
and unwieldly and you resort to writing comp.lang.perl.misc.
I would like to have a stable and modifiable framework for larger
projects
but seem to be failing utterly. So from the veterans out there, may I
ask
how you have structured directories, files, and libraries as your
projects
grew to "large" status?

In a word - badly ;-)
In a few more words...
1. I try to make sure I use Perl classes to structure all major
work I do. Occasionally something that I think is small escapes
and turns into a monster, but I find this happens less if I impose
class and module discipline on myself.
2. I make sure that my personal classes and project classes are in my
@INC, so that I don't have to think when using them.
3. I use source control (currently CVS). Otherwise, an ill-thought out
change to a class for one project can have some "interesting"
repercussions on other projects!
4. I avoid clever code when I can. Its a courtesy to others on the team and
to myself (otherwise we'd all end oup getting into a "see who can write
the cleverest one-liner" competitions, and maintenance would be
a nightmare).
5. I try to comment stuff. Recently I've been using POD format, and the
project publishes the documenation via pod2html in an indexed developer's
web area. Useful when you're looking for a module that you just know has
to be out there...
6. I use a standard layout (actually the CPerl default layout rules in
XEmacs). Makes it easier to follow stuff later, and the fact that the
editor has a valiant go at reformatting imported code makes it
relatively painless.
7. I use 'strict' and '-w' just about always (there are some CPAN modules
that still complain with -w, and clients don't like the warnings, so
I turn it off when using them).
8. I try to incorporate regression test cases in modules, so if other people
make changes then can test it out. Recently, I've been using MakeMaker
to manage all this (before it was all hand-coded).
9. I burn a pizza-scented stick of incense in an empty Jolt can to the
God of Bugs daily.
Don't know if that was the kind of thing you were looking for.
Regards
Dave
for one project

Subject: UNIX-based perl: backgrounding and file descriptors
Message-Id: <32F68BAD.41C67EA6@nb.rockwell.com>
Two UNIX-based perl questions:
1) Can a background process be launched from within perl?
I tried using fork,exec,and system, but at best they spawn a child
process which dies when the parent does. In order to get a true
background process, I call a C-shell that launches the background
process for me and then exits. I hope to eliminate such ugliness
if possible.
2) How can I write to a file descriptor specified by number alone?
I tried using syswrite, but it doesn't seem to work like the C "write"
function. I need to do this because a parent process has setup the
file descriptors 3 and 4 for communication. At the moment I am
stuck using C for the "write," and I'd like to get rid of this
platform dependence by doing it all in perl if possible.
Thanks,

You could always run your Perl program in the background ... [ducking!].
No, really. Actually, when I've played with the HTTP modules from the
LWP package, and run a server on port x, I've run the perl script in
the background and terminated it when I was done.

Really? (Well, I'd expect anything started by system to finish up _before_
your script does... :-)

Why ask the C-shell to do it? Let your own process launch the background
process. A common way is to fork a process which does nothing but fork the
background process and exit. Anything the C-shell can do, Perl can do
better.

However the parent process opened them, they're open in the same way for
the child process. That is, if you could write to WRITE before the fork,
you can still do so after the fork. You shouldn't need to deal with
descriptors by number, which is fortunate because I don't think I know how
to do it. :-)
Hope this helps!

An undocumented function is pretty useless. You should ask your vendor to
ship better man pages. Good luck!

You will find some very good information in the newsgroup
