Notes
=====
- A line in the body of a post is considered to be original if it
does *not* match the regular expression /^\s{0,3}(?:>|:|\S+>|\+\+)/.
- All text after the last cut line (/^-- $/) in the body is
considered to be the author's signature.
- The scanner prefers the Reply-To: header over the From: header
in determining the "real" e-mail address and name.
- Original Content Rating is the ratio of the original content volume
to the total body volume.
- Please send all comments to Greg Bacon <gbacon@cs.uah.edu>.

Message-Id: <34D5FC52.8084F261@netrition.com>
I am trying to write a Perl socket (client) script to retrieve
an HTML page from a web server. This script must run
setuid so it must pass taint checks. If I "Use socket;",
and connect to a socket, I get an "Insecure dependency".
Any way around this?

Ah, this explains why I didn't appear in the list. It's my darned buggy
address (earendil@). Now I have a reason to track down the problem, so
I'll take my rightful place in future lists! (probably approx 100-150 in

Hi all,
I have been watching the discussions in this forum and have noticed
that the name O'Reilly is mentioned quite often. I have been
searching for books by this person but don't have enough information
to find any matches.
Could one of you be so kind as to tell me what this gentleman's
complete name is. Any response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Tim O'Reilly is a publisher, you might consider browsing
http://www.oreilly.com/publishing/perl/
for their selection of perl books.
perldoc perlbook
might be of use too, if you have a recent perl.
Hope this helps,
Mike

I will freely concede that I am not as aware of the dangers of using
undefined variables as I should be. However, I agree that referencing
undefined variables is bad practice, and I don't do it in my book
examples.

I'm not sure how prominent a role undef should be given, but it and
defined() are described in an example in the book, so at least they're
not ignored, at any rate. :-)

Subject: Using Net::SMTP script as WinNT replacement of sendmail
Message-Id: <6b4vfl$fht@camel20.mindspring.com>
Many commonly available CGI scripts like Matt's FormMail usually assume the
presence of sendmail or a similar mail program through which you can send
email.
However, sendmail isn't available on most WinNT web servers. (Well, there
_are_ ports available from MetaInfo and NTmail, but I don't have 'em.) I'm
trying to implement some sort of Perl substititue for sendmail, so that
scripts like FormMail that assume the existence of a command-line mailer can
still run.
I've made some headway using Net::SMTP. I can build the necessary code into
individual scripts, but I've yet to build a genuine sendmail substitute: a
single Perl script to which another script can send (via a filehandle)
output to be mailed. Such a script would spare me having to do major
overhauls in all my sendmail-dependent scripts.
Firstly: does such a script already exist? I'd love to see such a thing.
Secondly: (and this is my current question) I'm having no luck in piping
data from one script to another.
For example, I'd like a CGI script to say something like:
open MAIL, "|sendmailsubstitute.pl";
print MAIL "To: gbuehler\@med.unc.edu\n";
print MAIL "From: webmaster\@elsitech.com\n";
print MAIL "Subject: Sample Message\n\n";
print MAIL "You're a dork!";
close MAIL;
And then have another script catch the output and handle the mailing:
use Net::SMTP;
# Accept message from other program #
read STDIN, $message, 30000;
@message = split /^/m, $message;
print "Here's the message:\n";
foreach $line (@message) {
print $line;
}
foreach $line (@message) {
if ($line =~ /^To:(.*)/i) {
$recipient = $1;
last;
}
}
foreach $line (@message) {
if ($line =~ /^From:(.*)/i) {
$sender = $1;
last;
}
}
# Send the response to Goldmine
$smtp = Net::SMTP->new('gromit.elsitech.com',
Hello => 'elsitech.com',
Timeout => 30,
Debug => 1, ) ;
$smtp->mail("$sender");
$smtp->to("$recipient");
$smtp->data();
foreach $line (@message) {
$smtp->datasend("$line");
}
$smtp->dataend();
$smtp->quit;
exit(1);
Should I be using "read" for this, or can I catch the input using a
while(<STDIN>) ?
I can't seem to get either working. . .
Any help would be much appreciated.

Perl FAQ, part 1:
-------------------------------------
=head2 What are perl4 and perl5?
Perl4 and perl5 are informal names for different versions of the Perl
programming language. It's easier to say "perl5" than it is to say
"the 5(.004) release of Perl", but some people have interpreted this
to mean there's a language called "perl5", which isn't the case.
Perl5 is merely the popular name for the fifth major release (October 1994),
while perl4 was the fourth major release (March 1991). There was also a
perl1 (in January 1988), a perl2 (June 1988), and a perl3 (October 1989).

Tk sounds like it would be a good choice, and Gurusamy Sarathy's Win32
port of Perl comes with Tk ready to run.

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.
