Subject: Assigning value to scalar with regular expression
Message-Id: <3318EEE6.40FC@fuse.net>
I've taken an intro to Perl class, read through the Llamma book, and
briefed through the Camel book, but there is still something I don't
quite get. Is there any way to directly assign a value to a scalar
based on a match of a regular expression. For example, what I THINK I
want to do is the following, but it doesn't work:
$_ = '"WantThis" VAR="Whatever"';
$myvar =~ /[^"]\w+[^"]/;
print $&, "\n";
I know my regular expression works ($& prints ok), but I don't get
anything in $myvar. Other than adding an extra line to set $myvar = $&,
is there no way to get this assignment to work? I don't understand what
is/isn't going on with the =~.
In the same vein and based on an example in the Llamma book, I would
have thought the following would work, but it doesn't:
$_ = '"WantThis" VAR="Whatever"';
($myvar) = /[^"](\w+)[^"]/;
print $&, "\n";
Confused...
Thanks in advance

Hm, looks like the libraries build with gcc want a symbol "main" which seems
to indicate they were linked with the wrong startup modules.
This probably happens if you link with "gcc -G" instead of "gcc -shared",
as the former will link with crt1.o which is the normal program startup
that wants "main".

Use mktime (in the POSIX module) and ask it to convert January 355,
1997 at 12:15:35. This solves the problem with respect to local time;
if you want GMT, you must set the TZ environment variable to "GMT0" first.

I'm also confused by this. I would have expected this behavior under
the "use integer" pragma but not by default.
Changing the arguments of &num from integers to floating point numbers
doesn't change the effect, so it's not an issue of exceeding integer sizes.
Changing 1000 to 1000.0 in the sub does affect the behavior, though.
Seems like a bug to me. Comments?

You don't need it. Actually, I don't even know if libdl.a exists on any
platforms. :) I know it doesn't under SunOS either. If I was at work I
could check on a lot more platforms. In general, if you will be using

Subject: No "sys/socket.ph" on Solaris?
Message-Id: <3318B348.41C67EA6@westweb.com>
Hi,
I wrote a Perl script that uses ftp.pl and chat2.pl on BSDI. When I went
to run the script on Solaris it would not work.
Seems that ftp.pl calls chat2.pl which in turn calls "sys/socket.ph".
But on the Solaris version of Perl5.003, there is no /usr/local/sys nor
any socket.ph.
How do I use the ftp.pl and chat2.pl on Solaris? Why would the
sys/socket.ph library get created on BSDI but not Solaris? Why would
the chat2.pl library (which I gather is used extensively) call a library
that doesn't exist? Is there some other way to use ftp.pl on Solaris?
TIA,
-Kevin

Yes. They're called "sort" and "reverse" and they're documented in
perlfunc(1). If your copy of that manpage doesn't show you how to use
these functions, please see about getting a more-recent release. Hope this

A vote for additional formats for pack/unpack to

and a request for help:
We commonly use binary files produced by executables compiled
from fortran source code (e.g. below). These are generated on both
big- and little-endian machines (SGIs, HPs, and DEC/4100).
I've made the initial steps towards a cross-machine cross-endian
read/writes in perl (e.g. below). However, I am stopped by the
big- little- conversions of fort:real/perl:float and
fort:integer*2/perl:signed-short variables.
Is there an easy way to handle different endian for those variables
in perl? If not, could someone give me pointers on writing a
conversion function? I don't know where I would begin. C? (as did
one of our grad students)

Subject: problems using bareword symbols (O_CREAT, etc) in perl 5.003_00
Message-Id: <HUNTD.97Mar1190859@pocc>
Hi all: I have a biggish production perl operation which I just upgraded from 5.002 to 5.003_00 (the 'stable' version on CPAN).
Now all symbolic flags fail to work. So, for example,
tie (%bad, NDBM_File, "$Dplib::perlDB/badsoundings", O_RDWR, 0660);
gives this error message: O_RDWR not numeric.
Is this a 'feature' of 5.003 or a bug? This is causing me problems in much
existing code, but I don't want to go back to 5.002 in that several new
modules require it.
HELP!
Any assistance would be appreciated,

tr/// is used (mostly) for transliteration - replacing one set of characters
with another. In this case, a regular expression is probably called for:
perl -p -e 's/(.)\010\1/$1/g' <man >man.clean
Unfortunately you can't use \b for backspace in a regex - it changes meaning
from 'backspace' in strings to 'word boundary' in regexs.

The proper syntax for "use" is either
use Sys::Syslog qw();
or
use Sys::Syslog "";
Between the parentheses or quotes you have to put the names of the
subroutines/methods and variables that the module exports which you
plan to use (separated by spaces).
See the module's documentation for such a list.
Some modules allow to use "qw(:all)" instead of such a list to import
everything, so you can use everything the module offers.
Again, see the module's documentation!
BTW, exceptionally :-) , "comp.lang.perl.modules" would have been more
appropriate for your question!
(It is pure chance that I found your article, since normally I'm not

Post the code, and tell us which version of Perl you're running (the output
from perl -v).

You are, however, expected to check the free documentation that is
included with the perl distribution before resorting to posting
to Usenet.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The 'perldiag' man page lists the error messages that perl might
generate.
(Case often matters. Take care to use the _correct_ case in
your postings...)
So, looking up your error message in perldiag reveals:
=item Variable syntax.
(A) You've accidentally run your script through B<csh> instead
of Perl. Check the <#!> line, or manually feed your script
into Perl yourself.
Viola! You didn't even need a "more experienced programmer" to
solve this problem...
: I've got some other codes working, so I know that I'm doing at least
: something right.
: I would appreciate very much if you could help me with this.
As you now see (I hope), you can often help yourself (and get the
answer _much_ faster to boot) by reading the docs...

The best advice I have is to learn about regular expressions - they
are extremely powerful (I'm actually more of a UNIX user, so I use
them quite often in vi, grep, perl, etc.). A good section on them
in your book would be useful.

I would suggest you include a good section on regular expressions
and how to use them, along with several examples. They are extremely
powerful - I use them constantly in a UNIX environment at work and
am continuously finding new uses for them.
Good luck with the book!

Message-Id: <01bc26b8$ca86c880$366674cf@default>
I just installed Perl 5.003 "Build 303" for Win32 .
I can't find a doc called ntole.cpp? Any clues?
BTW The few things I did figure out worked great.

Administrivia:
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
