: It dosn't?  As far as I can tell it workes. However as perl counts from

                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: print stamennt you will have to put a set of brackes around it.



Let's go fathom it then   ;-)



---------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

$str = 'GET /~xah/Curves_dir/Spc.html HTTP/1.0';

print (split(m@/@, (split(m@ @, $str))[1]))[-1], "\n";
---------------------------

outputs:
print (...) interpreted as function at ./split_test line 5.
Can't use subscript on print at ./split_test line 5, near "1]"
Execution of ./split_test aborted due to compilation errors.


So the reason is that perl thinks the print is a function  ;-)



from the 'perlfunc' man page, in the 'Perl builtin functions' section:

----------------------------
Any function in the list below may be used either with or without
parentheses around its arguments.  (The syntax descriptions omit the
parentheses.)  If you use the parentheses, the simple (but occasionally
surprising) rule is this: It I<LOOKS> like a function, therefore it I<IS> a
function, and precedence doesn't matter.  Otherwise it's a list
operator or unary operator, and precedence does matter.  And whitespace
between the function and left parenthesis doesn't count--so you need to
be careful sometimes:

    print 1+2+4;        # Prints 7.
    print(1+2) + 4;     # Prints 3.
    print (1+2)+4;      # Also prints 3!
    print +(1+2)+4;     # Prints 7.
    print ((1+2)+4);    # Prints 7.

If you run Perl with the B<-w> switch it can warn you about this.  For
example, the third line above produces:

    print (...) interpreted as function at - line 1.
    Useless use of integer addition in void context at - line 1.
----------------------------


So we can use it in a print() if we wrap the whole thing in parenthesis,
as David suggests.


Or, we can just stick a plus sign in front of it ;-)

   print +(split(m@/@, (split(m@ @, $str))[1]))[-1], "\n";
#        ^
#        ^ now it doesn't "look like a function", so it
#          isn't interpreted as a function

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I'm interested in converting a WebSPIRS cgi-bin generated file of
references (eg sample_WebSPIRS attached) to a BibTeX file.

The perl 5 program bids-to-bibtex by Anthony Stone at Cambridge does the
job for BIDS files in download format (eg sample_BIDSdownload)

Do you know

a) of a WebSPIRS-to-BibTex perl script that works?  Possible adapting
the bids-to-bibtex file (attached)?

b)  or a perl script that would convert the WebSPIRS to BIDSdownload
format?

Anyones help is much appreciated.

I would help circulate an author's product here (bids-to-bibtex is
popular in the academic science community).

Regards,

Kiat

AB- This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behavior as epsilon --> 0
    of solutions of the reaction-diffusion equation u(t) = 
    epsilon(2)u(xx) - (u + alpha)(u(2) - 1) defined in (-1, 1) with 
    Neumann boundary conditions. Far alpha = 0, this equation has a 
    monotone equilibrium solution u(epsilon) with the property that 
    u(epsilon)(x) --> -1 (resp. +1) on [-1, 0) (resp. (0, 1]) as epsilon 
    --> 0; that is, the solution has a sharp transition layer if alpha = 
    0. Also, it is known that u(epsilon) has a one-dimensional unstable 
    manifold M(u(epsilon)). Solutions near M(u(epsilon)) decrease 
    exponentially to M(u(epsilon)) and move with a speed O(e(-c/epsilon))
    along M(u(epsilon)).
    This paper considers the case where alpha is small and fixed. For 
    each fixed epsilon, alpha not equal 0, small, there is an equilibrium
    solution u(epsilon alpha) with unstable manifold of dimension one, 
    but u(epsilon alpha) approaches either the function 1 or -1 as 
    epsilon --> 0; that is, there is no monotone equilibrium solution 
    with a sharp transition layer. If we rescale x to epsilon x and 
    consider the rescaled equation on (-infinity, infinity), then there 
    is a unique (except for translation) monotone traveling-wave solution
    on (-infinity, infinity) with wave speed -root 2 alpha. Using a 
    geometric approach, we prove that there are positive constants 
    epsilon(0) and alpha(0) such that, for 0 < epsilon < epsilon(0) and 
    \alpha\ < alpha(0), solutions of the rescaled equations on (-
    1/epsilon, 1/epsilon) in a neighborhood of size C root alpha(0) of a 
    monotone traveling-wave solution decrease exponentially fast before 
    they enter a neighborhood of size O(epsilon(k)) of such a solution, 
    where k can be any positive integer. Along the traveling-wave 
    direction, solutions move with the traveling-wave speed plus an error
    term O(epsilon(k)). It also is proved that, the L(infinity)-norm 
    between the solution and a translation of the traveling wave is of 
    order O(epsilon(k)) for C(1)k log 1/epsilon < t < C-2/epsilon.

AB- In this paper we shall introduce the notion of order structure and 
    use it to study properties of a solution u(x, t) of a scalar linear 
    parabolic equation. It is well known that in one space dimension the 
    number of zeros of u(., t) is nonincreasing with t. This zero number 
    is an example of an order structure and the zero number property is 
    very useful in unfolding the structure of the global attractor of the
    semiflow generated by a scalar parabolic equation. We shall prove 
    that in one space dimension the zero number is the only order 
    structure preserved by linear parabolic equations. In two dimensions 
    the only order structure preserved by linear parabolic equations is 
    the order structure induced by the comparison principle for second 
    order equations. Consequently, in two dimensions there does not exist
    a Fine decomposition into equivalence classes as in the one 
    dimensional case. (C) 1997 Academic Press.

AB- The dependence of beam wandering (random lateral displacement) on 
    distance of a thin beam propagating through strong indoor turbulence 
    is investigated experimentally. In the case of small fluctuations and
    within the limits of the geometrical-optics approximation, the 
    transverse displacement variance is expected to follow a third-power 
    law dependence on distance. Here we present the results of 
    measurements made over paths of a few metres, both in the laboratory 
    and in a large corridor. Inner scale measured values are also 
    reported.

I discovered my own answer to my own posted question before anyone
else responded...

Turns out to be an Interactive compiler bug.  The floating point
exception was occurring in cast_uv() (in util.c).  The compiler
generates flawed code that will choke when a value of type (double) is
typecast to (unsigned long) in case the magnitude of the resulting
integer is too large for a (long).  The error was reproducible with
something like...

	miniperl -e '~0 - 1'

I had to work around it by modifying cast_uv().  All is well now.

Subject: Can I use -d,-e,-s.... in WinNT ?
Message-Id: <349afd68.60680064@news.silkera.net>

Hello :
I had installed the Perl for Win32 in my PC (OS : NT4.0 )
But I don't know can I use the 
parameter  ( -e : check if files exit  ,-f,-d. -T.........)
under NT to check the file's attribute ?Or I must use them in UNIX ?

 If I couldn't . How should I modify the function

  if(-d  $filename) {
   ...........
 in order to check the attribute of  file in NT ?

Thanks......

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.
