Either you have a directory named /usr/local/apache/lib/access.pl
which has some .pm files in it (odd), or this item is not doing what
you think it is doing.
"use lib X" means add directory "X" to the search path -- it does not
mean read the contents of the file named "X". The Fine Manual has
more details on this.

If you can't find it in the documentation for your server, either get a
new server or new documentation. Or you can decide that you don't need to
do it that badly. :-) Hope this helps!

Yes. It's really sub BEGIN, but you don't have to write "sub".

No, you can't put an exit in there to pass an exit status. But buried in
the arcane tome known as perlvar, I find this cryptic inscription.
Inside an C<END> subroutine C<$?> contains the value that is going to
be given to C<exit()>. You can modify C<$?> in an C<END> subroutine
to change the exit status of the script.
Hope this helps!

Subject: Extracting fields from data question
Message-Id: <33c7a0e7.3144601@news.interport.net>
I have a script which accesses a flat file, comma delimited database
of addresses. The data is as follows:
storename,address,city,state,zip,phone
The script allows searching on city, city & state, zip or area code
from phone. The problem is that one storename can be in more than one
city. So far, I have just added extra records to the file when a store
is in more than one city. I would like to be able to store all the
city names in one record ie:
Storeone,111 Anystreet,Los Angeles West Hollywood,CA,90046,310
555-12112.
I can figure out how to match city on a word boundary. What I can't
figure out is how to extract just the city part that matches. For
example, if someone just searches on Hollywood, they will get a match.
But I just want to return:
Storeone,111 Anystreet,West Hollywood,CA,90046,310 555-1212.
I thought of putting other delimiters inside the field ,
Los Angeles:West Hollywood. But I still can't figure out how to get
the whole portion that matches. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, I can confirm that it works with a couple configurations. I
have not idea what the "right IIS configuration" is. :-)
It runs out-of-the-box for GET and POST under NT4.0, Service Pack 3,
IIS 4.0b2 using ActiveWare Build 306 (perl.exe or perlis.dll). Of
course I ran a rather simple test:
---------------
require 'cgi-lib.pl';
&ReadParse(*input);
print &PrintHeader;
print &PrintVariables(*input);
---------------

Does something as simple as the above work for you?

Subject: Mail::Send problem (MailTools 1.09)
Message-Id: <5q872q$rai$1@grapool30.rz.uni-frankfurt.de>
Hi all,
I'm encountering a problem with the Mail::Send class (MailTools 1.09, Perl
5.003).
In the following sample code, everything works fine except the setting of an
additional header line - nothing gets added at all (I wasn't quite sure about
the difference between <set> and <add> so I tried both):
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
require Mail::Send;
$MAIL=Mail::Send->new( Subject => "TEST SUBJECT",
To => "uli\@tallowcross.uni-frankfurt.de", );
#### the following 2 routines don't work: ####
$MAIL->set("SET_HEADER", "SET_HEADER_VALUE");
$MAIL->add("ADD_HEADER", "ADD_HEADER_VALUE");
$MAILHANDLE = $MAIL->open();
$BODY="TEST TEXT"
print $MAILHANDLE $BODY;
$MAILHANDLE->close();
Am I overlooking the obvious, or is there a bug?
Thanks for any hints!
Bye
Uli

Subject: making refs in while() elegantly...
Message-Id: <33C75E99.7F168462@anon.com>
ok, i've just spent 5 hours trying to figure out why:
my %res;
my @list;
while (%res = $result->fetchhash()) {
my $hashref = \%res;
push @list, $hashref;
}
doesn't work, (i do this all the time when i want to print/process the
%hashes individually. so i never really considered that i was using the
same memory location for each hash, therefor saving refrences wouldn't
do much good)
anyway, once i figured out my problem, i was now stuck to find a
solution that didn't look "sucky". unfortunately:
my @list;
while (my %res = $result->fetchhash()) {
my $hashref = \%res;
push @list, $hashref;
}
doesn't seem to work... so the only thing i'm left with is:
my %res_while
my @list;
while (%res_while = $result->fetchhash()) {
my %res = %res_while;
my $hashref = \%res;
push @list, $hashref;
}
any other suggestions?

You can browse an on-line version of _Perl 5 by Example_ at
http://www.planet.net/pmedined/books/books.htm
Here is a review of _Perl 5 by Example_ from Tom Christiansen's page
entitled "Camel Critiques"
(http://mox.perl.com/perl/critiques/index.html). Many more reviews
can be found there.
>Perl(5) by Example by David Medinets
> CAPSULE REVIEW: I think this book merits about 2.5 camels as written. Sometimes it's even funny (as in ``Bless the Hash and Pass the Reference''). It's much smoother, technically richer, and written in a better coding style than the other Que book (SE using Perl for Web Programming) but suffers the same typographic buffoonery that all MCP books display. It also has enough omissions (like non-greedy matching in the regex section), errors (writing condition == true or the bogus deref of %{$item}->{'PART_NUM'}), and typos that it needs a good tech-edit. Still, if this were done, I believe that it could be brought up to three camels pretty easily.

I never tire of suggestiing the classics, _Learning Perl_ (the ``Llama
Book''), by Randal L. Schwartz (Perl 4, not Perl 5, but you could do
much, much worse) and _Programming Perl_ [2nd edition] by Larry Wall,
Tom Christiansen, and Randal L. Schwartz. _Cross-Platform Perl_ by
Eric F. Johnson and _How to Set up and Maintain a World Wide Web Site_
by Dr. Dr. Lincoln Stein also always get high marks. When you get a
little farther along, you will also want to get _Perl 5: Desktop
Reference_ by Johan Vromans and _Mastering Regular Expressions:
Powerful Techniques for Perl and Other Tools_ by By Jeffrey E. F.
Friedl. Of course, I always think that someone interested in Perl
should subscribe to _The Perl Journal_
(http://orwant.www.media.mit.edu/the_perl_journal/)
and read Randal Schwartz's columns in _Web Techniques_
(http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/) and _Unix Review_
(http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/UnixReview/).
I am sure most, if not all, this information is available in the FAQ.

What do you mean by 'pull news?' Do you mean download articles? If
so, I've been able to do this with News::NNTPClient on a number of
news servers not allowing newnews.

Hi,
using the debugger I want to (have to) insert something like
$SIG{__WARN__} = sub { syswrite STDERR,"$_\n",length("$_\n");
$DB::single = 1; };
to activate the debugger when a warning occurs
(like 'Use of uninitialized value ...')
Unfortunately the above line gives the wrong line number (it prints the
line number of the assignment to $SIG).
How can I get the line number that raised the warning?
To whom it concern's : please add this answer to the perldebug man page.
Many thanks,

$50,000.00 for only $5.00 within 2 MONTHS?????
==============================================
You gotta be crazy! How on earth do you think you can buy 50 grand
for lousy 5 bucks? Well, that's what I was wondering, too until I
came across this letter.
First of all, IT'S PERFECTLY LEGAL! (Call 1-800-725-2161) if you
have any questions about the following opportunity to make
$50,000.00 and that probably WITHIN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS!
Well, here it goes:
A little while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you
are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you
could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial
investment of $5.00! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a joke,"
but like most of us I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said
that you send $1.00 to each of the 5 names and address stated in the
article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the
list at #5, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There
are thousands) No catch, that was it.
I knew that that was the opportunity I had waited for for a long time.
I thought it was about time that the money of the world gets into the
right hands! OURS, right? I never had a doubt that this thing will
actually work and even if it didn't, what were 5 stamps and $5.00 for
a try?
As I mentioned before, like most of us I was a little skeptical and
a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it
out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed
that it is indeed legal!
Now, that's how your story WILL sound like, too if you participate:
Well GUESS WHAT!!... with in 7 days, I started getting money in the
mail! I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon, and didn't
give it another thought. But the money just kept coming in. In my
first week, I made about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the
second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00!!!!!! In the third
week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my
fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's
still coming in .......
Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, Why
it works....also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so
you can get the information off of it as you need it. The process is
very simple and consists of 3 easy steps:
STEP 1: Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 5 $1.00
bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 5 pieces of paper so the bill
will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place
one paper in each of the 5 envelopes and seal them. You should now
have 5 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above
phrase and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by
this. THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL!
Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses:
#1 Phil Walther Jr.
9495 Annapolis Lane North
Maple Grove, MN 55369
#2 C. E. Burkman
170 University Ave. W
Suite 12-129
Waterloo, Ontario
N2L 3E9
#3 A. Bailey
1207 Reeves Road
Plainfield, IN 46168
#4 J. Martin
P.O. Box 2292
Reston, Va. 20190
#5 JP Longwell
6677 W. Colfax Ave
Unit 409
Lakewood, CO 80214
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, etc...) and add YOUR Name as
number 5 on the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
least 200 newsgroups. (I think there is close to 18,000 groups) All
you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
make!
Don't know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly the
following:
FOR NETSCAPE USERS:
1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal. Then click on "To News", which
is in the top left corner of the newsgroup page. This will bring up a
message box.
2) Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title, like the one I used,
something to catch the eye!!!
3) Now go to the message part of the box and retype this letter
exactly as it is here, with exception of your few changes. (remember
to add your name to number 5 and move the rest up)
4) When your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on 'FILE' above
the send button. Then, 'SAVE AS..' DO NOT SEND YOUR ARTICLE UNTILL YOU
SAVE IT. (so you don't have to type this 200 times :-)
5) Now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and send your first
copy! (click the 'SEND' button in the top left corner)
6) This is where you post all 200! OK, go to ANY newsgroup article and
click the 'TO NEWS' button again. Type in your flashy subject in the
'SUBJECT BOX', then go to the message and place your cursor here. Now
click on 'ATTACHMENT' which is right below the 'SUBJECT BOX'. Click on
attach file then find your letter wherever you saved it. Click once
on your file then click 'OPEN' then click 'OK'. If you did this right
, you should see your filename in the 'ATTACHMENT BOX' and it will be
shaded.
NOW POST AWAY!
FOR INTERNET EXPLORER:
It's just as easy, holding down the left mouse button, highlight this
entire article, then press the 'CTRL' key and 'C' key at the same time
to copy this article. Then print the article for your records to have
the names of those you will be sending $1.00 to.
Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE' type in your flashy
subject and click the large window below. Press 'CTRL' and 'V' and the
article will appear in the message window. **BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR
ADDRESS CHANGES TO THE 5 NAMES.** Now re-highlight the article and
re-copy it so you have the changes.... then all you have to do for
each newsgroup is 'CTRL' and 'V' and press 'POST'. It's that easy!!
THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post
away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for
each newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL
MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
**If these instructions are too complex to follow, try Forte's "Free
Agent." It is freeware for noncommercial use. To download it, simply
use a search utility and type "Forte Free Agent". You should be able
to find it.**
That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within
days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large
amount of mail you receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you con
invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST
MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
Now the WHY part:
This entire principle works because it is in a format of an upside
down tree with thousands of branches. Everyone below you will see to
it that the tree continues because they want to get money. Those
below THEM will continue because THEY want to get the cash etc.
Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #5 on the letter. Now,
each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
postings, each with my name at #4 and only 5 persons respond to each
of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each
make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #3 and only 5 replies each, I
will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn
around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #2 and only receive 5
replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the
fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM of 200 letters
with my name at #1 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just
made me $3,125.00!!! With a original investment of only $5.00!
AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is
probable 20 to 30! So lets put those figures at just 15 responses
per person. Here is what you will make:
at #5 $15.00
at #4 $225.00
at #3 $3,375.00
at #2 $50,625.00
at #1 $759,375.00
When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to names on the
list, putting your name at number 5 and start posting again.
The thing to remember is that thousands of people all over the world
are joining the Internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST
LIKE YOU are now!! And this will go on and on and on and on.... get
the picture? Well, there's 5,000,000,000 people on the world and
most of them will eventually end up being hooked into the internet.
So there are virtually unlimited resources. Of course this will work
the best at the very beginning so the faster you post, the better for
YOU!
So can you afford $5.00 and see if it really works?? I think so!
People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends
you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when
there are tons of new honest users and new honest works?? I think
so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one
sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening
when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are
joining the Internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to
give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users,
every day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet.
Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. You just have
to be honest. Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also.
Try to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep an
eye on the newsgroups to make sure everyone is playing fairly.
Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the
basic idea to make the money!!
GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from
this, which is tons of extra CASH. **By the way, if you try to deceive
people by posting the messages with your name in the list and not
sending the money to the rest of the people already on the list, you
will NOT get as much. Someone I talked to knew someone who did that
and he only made about $150.00, and that's after seven or eight weeks!
Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills, people added him to their lists, and
in 4-5 weeks he had over $10k. This is the fairest and most honest way
I have ever seen to share the wealth of the world without costing
anything but our time!!! You also may want to buy mailing and e-mail
lists for future dollars.
Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks once again...
