Well, for some Larry-Wall-written code, check out the output of:

What's wrong with that? :-)
A machine may have zero, one, or many IP addresses and names. There's no
simple way to specify which one you want! But if you're writing a CGI
script, the CGI spec has a way for your server to tell your script what
number to use. If somebody has a socket open to your script, you may be
able to find out what number that was. Otherwise, you may need to put it
into a config file or to parse the output of a system command like
ifconfig. Hope this helps!

You can't see it, but there's a trailing space. That line actually says
"END_PRINT ". Make sure that it's the same as Perl expects, with no extra
leading or trailing whitespace, and it will work. Hope this helps!

As is usually the case, the install process sort of sputtered along,

I wrote before, I'm the one using the bastardized version of 4.?? Perl for
Novell....Can someone please tell me if there is an easier way to modify
the contents of a file than the way I am doing?
I am replacing the occurance of a date within a text file with a new date.
My current method is to read in the file, do a s// on each line, write
the modified strings to a new file, unlink the old one, then rename the
new one to the old one.
Is there a way I can modify the file itself without having to do this
copy?
I'd appreciate it if you could respond to me in private mail, but since I
have used up my newbie freebie, I will be reading this group for the next
few days.
Thanks for the help in advance.

A good solution is to start each one with a line like this...
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
...and then have your sysadmin put a symbolic link from there to the real
Perl binary on each machine.

Have you tried getting a beginner's book on Perl, or reading the online
docs? Those will tell you that there's more than one way to do it, such as
this.

Perl 5.004 allow for the creation of tied handle classes. This
would allow one to write a completely non-stdio handle that would
carp() if ever acted on with a stdio method. If you've got 5.004,
check out the perltie manpage as well as the perlxs manpage.

Sounds like a bug, but it could be in the server, the system, the script,
Perl, or even the browser! Tell me, when this happens, do you see a script
process left running for more than (say) fifteen seconds?

If it finishes the last line of Perl, it's done. Being stuck in a loop is
irrelevant. :-)

> coded exit statement?
The server can't tell whether you ran off the end of the script or exited
with an explicit exit(). (It can tell what exit value was returned,
though.)

Might be that one (or several) scripts are preventing new processes from
being spawned. I'd use ps (and probably a monitoring script) to watch for
any CGI process which runs for longer than a few seconds, since that's
suspicious.

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.
