Subject: password protecting a directory
Message-Id: <33D28FEC.22D06FB8@rfpi.com>
The questions I have here are not earth shattering by any means. What I
describe here is in use throughout the internet. Nevertheless, it is
still beyond my understanding on how they work. I am working hard to
understand them but come to a roadblock and seek help. In the spirit of
Perl and the many flavors of Unix (freely distributed) I am posting this
message.
Is there anyway to password protect a directory of webpages with Perl? I
know that you can do it with .htacess and so forth. The only drawback
that I can see with this is that, although one can protect a directory,
it is limited to the use of 'one' password for the directory.
Here is what I am after:
1. A user 'registers' themselves on a webpage, providing, amongst other
things, a 'username' and 'password'
2. This info is written to a file with Perl, in one of many possible
formats.
3. The user enters the 'password protected' area and is prompted to
enter a 'valid user name' and a 'valid password'. Only those individuals
that present a valid username and password gain entrance into the site.
The usernames and passwords are unique to the individual.
I have seen how .htaccess works. I understand that it protects the
directory and all the files in that directory. BUT, the problem, as I
have mentioned, is that there is ONLY one password. I am unaware, but
very interested, in any way around this. For instance, is there any way
to have a registration page that utilizes a scripting language, such as
Perl, write the usernames and passwords to the .htpasswd file so that
every time the directory is accessed and .htacess is invoked that
.htpasswd can be scanned through to see if the user entered a valid
username and password.
Some other questions on issues that are baffling me:
1. In Javascript one can use the 'onLoad( ) function to invoke an
action. Is there anyway to do this with Perl? From what I understand the
only way to invoke a Perl program is through the use of a form. The only
exception I see this to this is the <#exec .....> piece of code I
sometimes see (but I have only seen this with logging stat scripts.
Thank You,
Kurt

No, if I understand you correctly, it's not that limited. I'd tell you
more, but this is a Perl newsgroup. So instead, if you can't find what you
want in your server's docs, try asking in a server newsgroup. And if you
want to use Perl to maintain your .htaccess files, look for a module in
the modules list on CPAN. Hope this helps!

Give it a .PL extension if it's really a Perl script. Associate .PL files
with perl.exe. make sure that perl.exe is in the PATH. Why should a Perl
script be called *.bat?

Ah, no. For IRIX-6.2 and later (it was tested `./Configure -der` on
6.2, 6.3, 6.4, and alphas of 6.5), you want the irix_6.sh hintsfile.
Use the irix_6_0.sh and irix_6_1.sh config scripts ONLY on IRIX-6.0
and IRIX-6.1, respectively. Note that the pre-7.1 compilers will
not reliably compile Perl -n32, only -32. -64 compilation was not
tested (to my knowledge). ("-n32" uses the new "64bit except 32bit
pointers" ABI, which Perl isn't taking advantage of... Yet (if I get
some free time, anyway)).

If I recall, WWWboard is *very* picky about file permissions.
Be sure that your CGI scripts have execute permission and
your data/directory files allow write permission by the server.
In many cases, the server is "nobody" or "www", or be sure to
take that into account. The one thing to watch out for, is
that WWWboard treats index.html as a data file! Be sure
permissions are set according for that file.

Hi,
I have a string and I want to check if it's contain letters or characters

if ($country_str == /[0-9]*/) {

$ipaddress += $var2;
next;
} else {
printf "%s\n", $country_str;
}
And it always go to the else. no mather what $country_str contain - letters or

Do you have any idea why it's happen ?

What exactly do you mean by characters...numbers perhaps?
> so I did :if ($country_str == /[0-9]*/) {
This wants to be '=~' not '==' also as you are checking for 0 or more
once you use the correct syntax the above regexp will match anything so
you probably want to change the '*' to a '+' ( match one or more ). If
you want to check that a string only contains letters then use:
/[a-zA-Z]+/
or to match any alphanumeric characters ( including '_' ) use:
/\w+/
or finally to just match numbers:
/\d+/
I strongly recommend you read the perlop manpage.

Keywords: Oracle SQL Perl DBI DBD TCP/IP network
Greetings, I have a Perl/Oracle/network/DBI/DBD question:
We have two groups who want to share some data. One has an Oracle 7
database running on a NT server. The other group is a Unix group. I'd
like to be able to connect the Unix box as an Oracle client.
I've checked the DBI/DBD readme files and think I'm missing some
pieces. I don't have Oracle on my Unix boxes - not to mention a
development system. Is there a way around that? Our Oracle is an
umpti-ump client license... We have PC and Mac clients... Is the
need for an oracle development system technical or legal? What
prevents some pre-compiled DBD .o files in CPAN?
I hope I am missing something obvious. Any other ideas?
TIA / Jeff

No, I'd prefer "if you haven't checked the FAQ, don't post." People
asking an average of 10+ times a week how to trim whitespace (or validate
email addresses, or parse CSV strings, or any of a few dozen, um,
frequently asked questions) gum up the newsgroup for the rest of us, and
drown out the voices of those asking truly original, worthy questions.

You shouldn't normally need to wrap HTML. The browser should take care of

I think that you should let the browser do what it's good at. :-) Hope

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.
