If you are going to be able to install Perl modules, then you are
probably going to be able to install GNU tar and gzip. Tar in
particular keeps the directories in the proper order and it's going to
be hard to have modules that need subdirectories without tar.
Frankly, you should have tar and gzip anyway. Go to:
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/
ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu:/systems/gnu/
or one of the other mirrors and get them. (They were smart enough to
have them in forms such that you don't need them to install them).
They are free, fast, and pretty universal. Email me if it's really a
problem.

Or the dbi-users mailing list. Which is where the README asked you to
report problems (right next to where it says don't post to comp.lang.perl...)
The README also explains, in details, how to report problems and what
information to include.
If you follow the README and send the info it asks for to the dbi-users
mailing list, I'll help you there.
Tim.
p.s. I guess I should include the same info into the on-line docs in

I'm afraid you won't find very much...
If the code is simple it would not take to much time to create a perl
documentor in perl...
just use comment "tags".
For example
^ip means input paramater... then in your code have something like:
#^ip foo foo is an input param for the sub foo1.
Then in your generator, look for #'s... if you find one, search for ^pi and
all info afterword, you store...
Hope this helps,

If this isn't covered in the release notes which come with Perl for NT, it
ought to be. If you can't find it, could you let the developers know?
Their address should be easy to find in the release notes. Thanks!

Yup, I'm one of the proponent, and I'm confident I speak for all the

Subject: regex expression to extract data from a string

Can someone help me solve this problem:
After loading $string with a text file I'm tring to extract a range of
text between TAG1 and TAG2. Therefore I want to eliminate all text before
and after those two tags. The problem is that my regular expression is not
matching the .* pattern as the first character in the string. Here's what
I got:
$string =~ s#(.*)(<TAG1>.*<TAG2>)(.*)#$2#gm;
I thought this would perform the match, but it doesn't. Can anyone help?
Does this make sense? Should I give up and go eat supper?
Thanks!

Looks quite fine to me ...
When Perl does a global search-and-replace, it replaces the
first substring found and then starts to search again _after_ the
first match to find the second one. That means, that in your example
' BC' is matched first and then the search for another match is done
in the substring 'BC AAA' (the rest of $test). That's why you don't
get a second replacement in $test.

To achive this result you could enclose the search-and-replace
expression with a loop, like this:
while($test =~ s/([^x])BC/$1y/g) {}

You probably have the perl on the new machine configured to use
EMBED but not the one on the old machine. With EMBED defined, perl
renames many of its global symbols to keep them out of the way of
other code you want to link in--in particular, stack_base becomes
Perl_stack_base. You'd better rebuild any XSUB extensions...

See the Perl FAQ at www.perl.com look for expanding variables in the

I usually consider '0' to be in that list. Depending upon my mood, I can
consider 0.0 to be false as well, since occasionally that comes up.
The simple rule that I like is this: Make it a string, and if the result
is either '' or '0', it's false, otherwise true.
It naturally falls out from that rule that "000" and "\0" are true, even
though that can surprise folks who are used to some other programming
languages. Some of those same people are surprised to see what this does,
too.
perl -e 'print "huh?\n" if false'
Well, that's Perl! :-)

That's because your @colour_array is not a list, but a list
with one element of references to a list with three elements.
Two other ways to write your code but make the points clearer:
1) my @color_array = ( 'Red', 'Blue', 'Yellow');
&callsub(@color_array);
sub callsub {
my @list = @_;
}
is what you probably wanted.
Note the parentheses in the initialisation!
2) my $color_array = [ 'Red', 'Blue', 'Yellow'];
&callsub($color_array);
sub callsub {
my @list = @{$_[0]};
}
...makes it clear that you're talking about a scalar $color_array,
which holds a hard reference to an anonymous list with three elements.
See the perlref manpage for details.
> I can only use @list if I dereference $_[0] using @{...}.
> What am I doing wrong here?
Not actually wrong. You made an approach using an anonymous list
which may be quite appropriate under certain circumstances, and
you found the correct solution in your sub. But anyway, you
probably meant what I wrote under 1).

I am trying to build an XS module that uses yacc to do some of the
parsing. This C routine has yyerror in it's header file. The C library
comiles fine. However, when I try to compile the XS module it complains
about the dupilcated declaration. It turns out in one of the CORE perl
include files yyerror is defined as well.
The work around I have done so far is, compile the C library with the
line in the C header there, comment out the yyerror extern in the C
header file, then compile the Module. There must be a better way to do
this right?

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.
