This is a FAQ: oraperlv2.4 is dead and you've got little hope of making
it build with Oracle 7.3. I suggest you build perl5, and the
DBI/DBD-Oracle modules.

Hi,
I need to have perl on a HP PA based HP UX 9 computer, but don't have
access to an HP UX 9 machine with a compiler on it. And ss binaries
aren't distributed on CPAN an I don't have the ressources to install
gcc, I'm desperately looking for someone, who can provide me with that.
Please, can somebody on this group provide me with a pointer to the

Any help in this is highly estimated. Thanks in advance.

Subject: Perl bug? localtime assumes DST contrary to time zone.
Message-Id: <34057d06.3370524@207.126.101.82>
When I run this script,
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$,=' ';
print (localtime( 877842000 ));
print "\n";
print (localtime( 877842000+86400 ));
print "\n";
print (gmtime( 877842000 ));
print "\n";
print (gmtime( 877842000+86400 ));
print "\n";
__END__
on Perl V5.004_02, GSAR bindist 04, I get the following results on a
Win95 box (for the Eastern Standard Time Zone, known to Win95 users as
"Indiana (East)" in case you're playing along at home):
0 0 1 26 9 97 0 298 1
0 0 0 27 9 97 1 299 0
0 0 5 26 9 97 0 298 0
0 0 5 27 9 97 1 299 0
Activeware build 303 (Perl 5.003_07) on the same computer gives me
this (the correct answer):
0 0 0 26 9 97 0 298 0
0 0 0 27 9 97 1 299 0
0 0 5 26 9 97 0 298 0
0 0 5 27 9 97 1 299 0
The same script on a Windows NT Server 4.0 box running Activeware
Perl build 303 in the same time zone yields:
0 0 22 25 9 97 6 297 1
0 0 21 26 9 97 0 298 0
0 0 5 26 9 97 0 298 0
0 0 5 27 9 97 1 299 0
I don't know what 5.004_02 does on NT.
Perl believes that October 26, 1997 is 25 hours long and that
the DST flag goes from 1 to 0 at some point during that day.
This would be true, except that the system is in an area that
does not observe DST.
In addition, the NT box with Activeware build 303 seems to be
hopelessly confused about the GMT offset (possibly because 95
and NT keep time zone information differently in the registry?)
Both computers are properly configured as to time zone, and the
time zone settings in the Registry correctly indicate the lack
of DST. Changing the localtime to gmtime solves the problem, at
the expense of having to adjust local times by 5 hours (a
nonportable solution in the truest sense of the word.)
I don't know whether this is a bug in Perl or in Windows, and
I'm hoping that someone who's running Perl on a Unix machine
or someone who knows about these things can determine that for
me.

Then how do you expect me to answer your question? :-) The only
way to get a reference is with the gimme-a-reference operator, \,
e.g. \$foo. There isn't currently (and might not ever be) any way to
turn a string back to a reference, and it certainly won't be with
syntax like you used above because when perl sees you trying to deref
a thingy that's not a reference, it treats it as a soft reference (e.g.
the above code tries to print ${SCALAR(0x1002c690)} which will spout
use of uninitialized value warnings under -w).
Besides, what possible use could you have for such tomfoolery? :-)
I suspect a good read of the perlref(1) manpage would help.

You could do it in one step with
@result = sort @a, @b, @c, @d;
unless I'm misreading you.
As to efficiency, perl uses your system's underlying qsort routine which
implements C.A.R. Hoare's Quick Sort algorithm. Quick Sort is usually a
very good sort (except in the case where your list to be sorted is
already sorted, but most modern implementations will bail out if they
detect a sorted list).
If you're paranoid about memory consumption, you could always write your
arrays to a file and pipe sort(1)'s output back in.
Hope this helps,

Depending on your server, you might need to change the content-type.
(BTW, it's text/html, not text-html.) On Apache and NCSA HTTPd, what
you need is text/x-server-parsed-html. On O'Reilly WebSite and
perhaps other Win32 servers, what you need is wwwserver/html-ssi. I
haven't used this, but it stands a much better chance of working than
does text/html.
Of course, this is a CGI or a server question, not a Perl question.
Perhaps you should have asked in comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi or
an appropriate server group.

Yes. Along with GD, Tk (!), and of course the ultra-cool Net.
GSAR's 5.004 is, well, 5.004. ActiveWare isn't yet. GSAR also makes
an effort to have perlbug and perldoc and other neat utilities that
ActiveWare ignored. All in all, it's a much better distribution and a
much better job of porting. And none of it is copyrighted by

I'm having trouble getting the return status from a system()
call. It works fine if I create a test script, but in my
application $? is always -1 after the system call. The only
difference is that the application calls system from within a
child (forked) process. Is there anything strange about the

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.
