Currently I am using a libperl.so.## to help me reduce the size of my
Perl executable, however it is still too big
i.e. about .7MB
Question 1) Any suggestions to make it smaller?
Question 2) Say I have lots of files with 'require' file2.ph
Is there anyway I could make file2.ph into a dynamic library and link
it in with the rest of the files?
Thx in advance,

There are packages that include binaries at both ftp.celestial.com
and ftp.sco.com . I have never built perl5 on 3.2v4.2 , but have
built it on OpenServer5 , and then used the binaries on 3.2v4.2
Perl does build without a hitch on OpenServer with gcc. Since
OpenServer can now be had free, as can gcc, that might be worth
a try.

Subject: How can I email with Perl on NT using Blat
Message-Id: <3368055F.7B7F@mindspring.com>
Dear Perl Gurus,
I've got a tough one for you. I have written a Perl script to pull data
off a Web user feedback form and pipe this data to an email address. I
am running the script on an NT platform which uses Microsoft's Internet
Information Server (IIS) as the Web server software. The email server
is provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP). The script works
except for the email portion. I am piping the data received from the
feedback form using "Blat" (functions like "mail" in UNIX) to an email
address. I have configured the NT registry to allow for multiple
console windows which supposedly allows for I/O redirection. I have
also fooled with the permissions, but I cannot get the "Blat" pipe to
work. When I run the script locally on the NT server logged in as the
administrator it works, but when I call it from the Web feedback form,
it doesn't. I have tried everything, but I think I am fighting a "Bill
Gates gotch ya" (the Microsoft way). Has anybody out there had a
similar experience and if so how can I get this @#!! email to work. Any
help would be greatly (I mean greatly) appreciated.

The program must have something to distinguish the windows to be able
to talk to them, like an window ID. Otherwise how can you talk to your
window system to close the right window?

Ok, so these are examples of two objects, alike in every way that is
observable through a given interface, which need to be distinguished
by the client of that same interface. This is important indeed. It is
a case I hadn't thought of.

It's like looking at two objects and they both seem to be circles.
However, we're just looking at them from the bottom--one is actually a
cone, while the other is a cylinder. So it's important to make references
to this circle or that circle, even though we cannot otherwise distinguish
them because of our limited view.

Weeeelllll, perhaps *that* is the solution: to create a new group

You could robo-moderate it, bouncing all posts with a one or two page

Subject: syswrite() problem
Message-Id: <33681C6F.3C66@fc.hp.com>
I'm having some trouble with Perl5's syswrite() function. Occasionally,
the
following code snipet fails:
while (!($ready = select(undef, $ttywout=$ttywin, undef, 0))) {};
$written = syswrite(TTY, $data, 1, $offset) || die "Can't do
syswrite: $!\n";
During failure, the syswrite() call is apparently successful (the die is
not
executed), but $written = 0. How is this possible? If understand the
write(2) man page, the syswrite should block indefinitely unit one byte
is
written. Indeed, the while statement should be superfluous. Any ideas?

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.
