That won't work for 2 reasons. You can't have " in a "quoted string.
Secondly, the @ messes up.
BTW, why are you opening a pipe, and not writing to it?
Try:
my $receipent = q {someone@somewhere.com};
system qq {/usr/bin/mail -s "$subject" $receipent < $file}
and die "System failed!";
Be careful that $subject, $file and the email address don't contain
anything meaningful to the shell.
I first thought you could avoid that by giving system a list of
arguments, but '<' is a shell redirect. Too bad.

Subject: Re: ANYONE USING PERL W/ WIN95
Message-Id: <5llab4$d2s@argon.btinternet.com>
Basic steps:
1) When you have extracted Perl you should use the installation programme
install.bat which basically sets-up perl as the programme to run *.pl
scripts and it also make an entry in the registry........that is if you
have the correct win95/NT version of perl!
2) To run/test a script, open up a DOS console and CD to the directory
where your first script is sitting.
3) Type "perl scriptname.pl" and your script will run
try typing "perl -c scriptname.pl" ...the -c switch make the perl
interpereter test the syntax of your script!
On another note, chmod is a UNIX command which changes the "permissions" of
the file/directory and has no real direct equivalent in win95/dos. Also,
the header line:
#usr/local/bin/perl
is only really used with UNIX....it tells the system the location of the
programme with which to run the script. With DOS, you have to do this
explicitly by telling it to run perl and adding the filename as a
paramater.
here endeth the first lesson!

For simplicity, I take your example literally here and assume you mean
/^foobar1/ and /^foobar2/ but allow /hello world/.
>while (<>) {
> /foobar1/ .. /foobar2/ and /hello world/ and print;

Wow! That works? Neat. My solution would have been something like:
$/=undef;
$file=<STDIN>; # or pick another filehandle
while ($file =~ /\G # Start at end of last match
(\A|\n) # Start of $file or start of line
foobar1 # Start marker
[\x00-\xFF]*? # Smallest possible string of any char
(?m # Let ^ and $ work right here
(^.* # Anything, . does not match \n
hello world # Found it!
.*$) # To end of line
) # End /m section
[\x00-\xFF]*? # Smallest possible string of any char
\nfoobar2 # ^foobar2
/sx # s = . matches \n; x = this style
) {
print $1;
}
The problem I can see with my solution (untested) is that it will
only print the first /hello world/ line between /^foobar1/ and
/^foobar2/. I don't know how Abigail's will deal with additional
/^foobar1/'s in the section grepped, but it will probably work.
Mine will gladly ignore them.
With some more complicated regexp stuff I could probably fix the
first line only pattern.

That's what file permissions are for.
Give your file permission 755, and only you will be able to update it.
(And don't forget to make your directory 755 too, otherwise people
can replace the file).
Note that a C executable can be overwritten as well. It's file permissions
that matter, not whether it's compiled C or not.

Some echos will need "echo 0\\c" instead.

Good idea, but there's a couple of problems:
- use @INC and PERL5LIB/PERLLIB instead of hard-coded dirs
- add those dirs from PATH that contain "perl", because POD can be found in
perl scripts. (BTW I think that the restriction to dirs containing "perl" is
a useful; optimization for perlpod too.)
- check for =head in the file
- do recursive search
- clean up leading path components of site_perl, 5.003, sun4-sunos, etc
Generally, grab code from perlpod itself in order to comply with what it does.

The following code is lightly tested; if you want to use it on a
non-Unix perl port you'll most likely have to remove or change the
stat() code.

Except that there are a few very obscure cases (which I pointed out in

Without knowing the context these addresses are in, it would be hard
to know how those obscure cases need to be handled. Can we count on
(comments) being removed? Will addresses be <encapsulated> for easier

I think it would be better to ask what is not wanted in a file name
and deal with that. Your suggestion is a rather odd one. Why no files
begining with numbers? Why only a sincle '.'? Etc, etc.

But it's not the same. \w takes the current locale into account,
which is not necessarely the same as [A-Za-z0-9_] (You missed out
on the digits as well).
As for being faster, I doubt you will stip out the characters in a
user supplied filename a million times; you just do it once. The
time difference will be insignificant.

grep $string, @array; would indeed be a "logical" way to use the grep
function. It won't work because grep is a bit more general than grepping
for fixed strings.
The first argument of grep will be treated as an *expression* (or a block).
The expression (block) will be executed once for each element of the array,
setting $_ locally to the current element. If the expression (block) returns
a true value (that is not undef, not "", and not 0) the element will be
in the array returned by grep.
Now in Perl, just as in C, $string *is* an expression. Hence
grep $string, @array; is valid Perl. It gets compiled, and for $string
not being undef, "" or 0, grep will return the entiry array.
What you probably want is:
grep /$string/, @array;
Personnally, I always use the block variant of grep, I don't really
like the magical use of the first element of a list being used to
filter the rest of the list. Then you would have:
grep {/$string/;} @array;
Both forms will return strings with $string as a substring. If you
only want exact matches, use:
grep $_ eq $string, @array; or
grep {$_ eq $string;} @array;
Abigail
(Now, if only we had $_ being the default operand of some of the operators,
then we could write: grep {eq $string;} @array;
Is it too late to add that to 5.004?)

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.
