That's just how it works, you try to acces a page server replies
"Not authorised, this is site such and such" ,and you request again with
the propper login/password somewhere in the header. If you know you will
be asked for the password you may of course send it the first time
already.
I don't remember the propper syntax, but you should be able to find it
in the HTTP definition.
http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Protocols/HTTP/1.1/draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-07.txt
I don't know the module, but you should be able to add lines to the
header.
So if you get a "not authorised" response you will have to resend the
request
with the login/password.

First of all, this is NOT A PERL question, it's an HTML/CGI
question and should be posted in newsgroups pertaining to such
matters AFTER YOU HAVE READ THE REST OF THIS POST.
Not sure what you are asking. Your CGI script should have
available to it:
o the HTTP_REFERER sent by the browser, giving the URL of
the form.
o the SCRIPT_NAME provided by the server, telling the name
of the script now running.
o IF a submit button has both a name and a value defined in
its HTML, then that name/value pair will be sent just like
any other as either QUERY_STRING or POST data.
So far as I know, the NAME element in the FORM tag does nothing;
only in the submit button's INPUT tag does it have any effect.
>From your HTML, it looks to me as though you've confused the FORM
and INPUT tags...
There's more about CGI-related environment variables at:
http://ycmi.med.yale.edu/~healy/envlist.txt
And there are pointers to a number of cgi-related resources at:
http://paella.med.yale.edu/~healy/cgilinks.html
And you should go buy a good HTML book for more about forms and the
INPUT tag.
Hope this helps.

As well you should be. You should close the file instead of
unlocking it (the close automatically releases the lock).

Locks don't prevent opens, read, writes, or anything else.
All they do is prevent other locks. It's entirely advisory.

No for open, but you don't need to.
This is the default behavior of close.

It's not important to lock immediately after the open.
It is important to exclusive-lock *before* writing, or
to shared-lock before reading.
Don't unlock before close after writing; just do the close,
which will flush buffers and release the lock.
(BTW, there is no comp.lang.perl, I have removed it from

print can take a filehandle, a scalar that evaluates to a filehandle,
or a block returning a scalar that evaluates to a filehandle. (See the
perlfunc man page for details.)
Which means that you can use the filehandle that you have stored as an
entry in the hash in the following two ways. (The fact that your hash
has been blessed into a class, and can be used as an object, does not
matter.)
$fh = $self->{HANDLE};
print $fh 'something';
or
print {$self->{HANDLE}} 'something';
You can also make use of the fact that perl's filehandles appear to be
FileHandle objects and can call FileHandle methods:
use FileHandle;
$self->{HANDLE}->print('something');

I know it's not perl, but you could save the file through your web browser
as text. If you don't have 75 columns after saving it, run it through
emacs or BBEdit and wrap at 75 characters.

If you do not insist on Perl script, you could try to convert the HTML
via Lynx textual browser (-dump option). I personally use the following
script to convert an HTML document to text file (Unix environment, but
the DOS port of Lynx also exists):

Yes, it is. What's going on is a long story, but it has to do

This is a difficult problem -- if you want it to look decent, you
have to deal with things like hypenation and balancing the amount
of text on nearby lines. This would be a rather large project if
someone hadn't already done it for you:
perl -0777pe 's/\\/\\\\/g; s/\./\&./g' | nroff
should work nicely. The perl bit isn't even necessary except to
quote any nroff formatting codes which happen to be in your file.

A mini scam of sorts has been already carried out by the gasoline

their fuel; sure, individual ignorant consumers are the primary

You want a more productive capitalism? Scrap the copyright and
patent laws and let the little guy, who has invented *everything*,
unleash his creativity and capitalism will have a fighting chance;
otherwise, socialism is better in all ways than capitalism, which
inevitably leads to monopolization if it weren't for interference
by the state.
The copyright laws are every bit of the economic protectionism
as a tariff or an import ban! And yet free market advocates want
the state to protect in one way and not the other!

That's their job, "competition," making the market less fair;
where in the world is the market ever fair? Even the black
market is run on sound principles by capitalist standards, and
in fact, fits the Adam Smith mold better than the recognized
and protected markets, such as software, etc.

When IBM released the original IBM PC, they made available
the BIOS source code and electrical & interface specs for the
system bus and peripherals. The OS was supplied by third parties
(MS, DR, p-System) who were free to license their software to
anyone.
That's what he meant by "open". All the crucial info needed
to build a functional clone or to add value by building
third party hardware and software to extend the original
system was public.
The IEEE had nothing to do with it.
And yes, it was possible to put a lot of junk in there.
I remember seeing 68000 boards that plugged into the
PC bus and ran unix. I remember IBM putting a whole 370
in a couple slots of the PC at one point :).

It's been reported that Cuba maintains an up to date software
library of titles from all over the world and serves out the
the binaries and docs the way public libraries serve out books;
if it was like that here there'd be more engineering creativity

No it doesn't. The pragmata are block-scoped, so it only

Think of use as a #include. Imagine this C code:

It's quite similar, except that the scope of the strict is only
that block anyway.
Perhaps we can get some better errors/warnings in for the

Go to <URL:http://www.dejanews.com/> and type your subject
line into the search box. You should find dozens of previous
posts addressing your problem.
Alternatively, look up "wrap" in the index to Programming Perl.

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.
The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed 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.
