Thanks for the thought, but I can't use OLE. OLE will start excel to do
object linking
and embedding. So if 10 people will use the cgi there would be 1- Excell
instance running on the server. Not a very good idea. That is why I need
ODBC.
Thanks anyway, but this question is still open. Why can't I retrieve
text values?
Even if I use $in{'F1'} hashes it does not work !

Subject: New: Command Line Tool for Format Conversion
Message-Id: <3540C11E.35B5@square1.nl>
We've just released a new Command Line Tool for Windows
and UNIX as well as a DLL for Windows which allows you to batch
convert PostScript files into other editable vector
formats (WMF, MIF, CGM and WPG). It's a handy tool for
developers and an end-user version is also available.
With it, you can import PostScript into your application,
as well as add "export" or "save-as" options for WMF, WPG,
CGM and MIF. You can also use it for volume conversion of
output into the vector graphic format you need. TGC/Developer
is full featured and includes more than 10 Intelligent
Filter Options for controlling the conversion process.
See http://www.square1.nl for a free trial copy of
the end-user version.

In all honesty, does anything ever cleanly uninstall from any
windows box? Feel free and overwrite any system files while
you're at it -- i believe that's expected from most windows

A decent OS and web server? :)
Seriously: Even though they are perl scripts, this really has nothing
to do with perl. It rather seems to be a configuration issue for IIS.
You will probably have much more luck if you ask this in a group that
talks about web servers, or maybe even about IIS in particular.

Subject: Re: PerlScript with PERL version 5.004???
Message-Id: <3540481C.D7287504@ndirect.co.uk>
PerlScript expects perl300.dll. The GS Port has a perl.dll. But don't
just go renaming the dll - the activestate port uses a C++ variant on
the perl interpreter so the two aren't compatible. I suggest either move
back to Activestate perl, or wait for 5.005 (real soon now!).
BTW: I think someone on the activestate mailing list suggested it was
possible to install both, but I'm not sure how feasible this is. You
might try asking there.

note, if you leave out the srand, it by default does a srand(time)...
there are some other simple routines to increase the randomness, but
for what you want, this should be sufficient.

Subject: Re Assigning page numbers to specific variables from an array in perl/html cgi
Message-Id: <354066C7.2EA6A07C@cia.com.au>
Hi, Am really stuck on this one....
The below script produces search results from a database.
I have successfully calculated the number of returns that are called
along with the number of pages they will be produced on.
Also with some grep .ing and push .ing have managed to obtain the itemid
numbers $itemid from the array that holds the return information.
This is then output in a foreach loop to print each instance of the
$itemid after bing split.
What I want it to do, is to replace each $itemid with page numbers
starting from range 1..$count where $count is the number of pages.
################
if ($type eq 'search') {
my($matches) = 0;
my($i) = $pos;
while (($matches < $numtolist) && ($i < $SIZE)) {
$_=$LINES[$i];
if (index(lc $LINES[$i],lc $FORM{'search'}) >= 0) {
$matches++;
($itemid, $name, $price, $descrip, $image, $weight, $itemurl,
$group)=split(/\|/,$_);
&print_item;
}
$i++;
}
print "</table>\n";
###################
# that's the end of the results production for each $FORM{'search'}
# The next part is to produce the page numbers for each
$num = grep(/\b$FORM{'search'}\b/, @LINES) ;#produces the number of
@LINES
@num = grep(/\b$FORM{'search'}\b/, @LINES); #produces the result of
@LINES
$count = int(($num / $numtolist)+ '0.99'); #produces the number of
pages where $numtolist=30
foreach $_(@num) {
($itemid, $name, $price, $descrip, $image, $weight, $itemurl, $group) =
split(/\|/,$_);
push @pagestart, $itemid;
}
if ($num > $numtolist) {
$page = "pages";
$these = "these";
$count = "$count";
$numbers = "numbers";
$starts = "start";
}
else {
$page = "page";
$these = "this";
$count = "only";
$numbers = "number";
$starts = "starts";
}
print "SEARCH STATISTICS<br>\n";
print "The $count $page $starts on $these $numbers\: \n";
print "<br>\n";
$itembegin = (@pagestart[0]-1); #produces the first instance of the
$itemid in @pagestart
print "<a
href=\"$cgiurl\?command=listitems\&pos=$itembegin\&type=search\&search=$FORM{'search'}\">$itembegin</a>\n";
###################
# This foreach loop specifies that the link has to be produced for each
$itemid in the array @pagestart
# This is where i have tried many methods to get a list of page numbers
1..$count to replace the $itemid # referenced in the <a
href..>$itemid</a>.
###################
foreach $itemid(@pagestart[29,59,89,119,149,179,209,239,279,309]) {
print "<a
href=\"$cgiurl\?command=listitems\&pos=$itemid\&type=search\&search=$FORM{'search'}\">$itemid</a>\n";
}
if ($i < $SIZE) {
print "$num items found on $count $page.<br>\n";
}
else {
print "<br>THAT'S THE END OF THE SEARCH ON: $FORM{'search'}.\n";
}
###################
Hope someone can assist or at least point me to a location where linking
by page numbers has already been
scripted and is available for in public domain.
Thanks in advance

The latter is often better handled by @blahs in a scalar context -- e.g.
my $blahCount = @blahs;
or
die "Huh?" if $numRequested > @blahs;

You seriously need to read the perldata manpage, paying particular
attention to the bits about something called "arrays".

Actually, it depends on where on your disk the Perl executable is.

Have you looked at the perl compiler included with the late
development versions? You can get a lot of information about a script
by using the modules in it.

Hmm.. I don't know if it is at all possible to create a letter a, like
the Yahoo WebMail Server.
Maybe the following does what you want?
my $a = new Yahoo::Webmail::Server;
$a->configure('like a');
> write a cgi-script ? Please list it ....
Oh boy. How much effort do you think went into the whole of the
my.yahoo system? 20 minutes? 2 days? 3 weeks? 2 months? more? less?
Even if it was only 20 minutes, I don't think I would want to do the
work for you for free. What you could do, however, is offer us money.
That might work, maybe.
If you want to do the work yourself, look into the following modules:
CGI
Mail::Internet
Net::SMTP
Mail::POP3Client
Net::POP3
and the perlsec man pages.

PS. Does anybody want to write a program for me that weeds out these
posts? Free of cost of course. I'm getting tired of updating my killfile.
Oh, and it should also have nice windows, and a builtin editor with
rich text formatting, and it should be able to post to Usenet, but
only with attachments, and I want it to get pages from the web, but it
has to get the images as well, and display them. And it has to water
my cucumber plants.

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.
