The first test (provided you are using CGI.pm) should be running them from
the command line. CGI.pm will take care of form input here. For this you'll
only need the standard perl distribution.
For the other test, you must run them under the control of a web server;
the best way to do that would be to install the same one as the one
that runs on your site. If that's not Apache, Apache will do.

Subject: CGI.pm without warnings?
Message-Id: <tmorniniEuw192.9JH@netcom.com>
I've been developing an app with CGI.pm and have learned
a great deal about it. I recently got down to some actual
control code that decides what to do based upon multiple
Submit buttons with different names with code that looks
like this:
if ($query->param('Submit') eq 'Button 1') {#code here}
if ($query->param('Submit') eq 'Button 2') {#code here}
If Submit Button 1 or 2 is pressed, the opposite conditional
complains about "Use of uninitialized value at line #" since
I have -w (warnings) turned on (and use strict, too!).
I'd like this code to be picture perfect. How can I avoid
this?

I suspect that your code doesn't really look quite as you've shown; you
probably are passing different strings to param(). But you may want
something like this, although you may have different names for your
parameters:
if ($query->param('Button 1')) {
# handle that
} elsif ($query->param('Button 2')) {
# handle that
} else {
# Maybe something else?
}
Hope this helps!

Message-Id: <358cbfcc.33862241@news.wgtn.ihug.co.nz>
I've been struggling with the above for a few days now. We have an NT
domain with around 60 NT servers, with 8 BDCs. I need to do some
updates to selected groups of user profiles for which the above
functions would be a Godsend.
However, I cannot get them to return a successful return value unless
the functions (primarily UserSet/GetMiscAttirbutes) address the PDC
directly (i.e. none of the BDCs nor using the domain name returns a
successful value). Also, whilst the GET versions of the functions
work successfully on the PDC, the SET versions, whilst returning a
TRUE value, do not actually change any user profile details.
I am executing small test scripts as a domain admin, and using the
lates version of AdminMisc from Dave's web site with the 5.004_2
bindist of Perl.
Has anyone had any similar experiences, or know why this may be
happening?
If this is not the correct forum (apologies!), are there any more
suitable groups or mailing lists that I can try?
All suggestions (of a positive nature!) gratefully received.

true, but if this is a standalone script, it's going to print out 10 blank
lines if it
can't find the log.
Besides, that's about the best I can come up with after mowing the lawn in
90 degree
weather.
but, if you insist:
open (FILE, "log") || die "can't open the log file, you stupid human! I
will overtake you within 7 years";
Perl is close to becoming omnipotent, after all......
Either that, or:
`su root -c touch log`;
`su root -c chmod 777 log`;
open (FILE,"log");
Although this would only work under unix, and would pester you for the root
password twice...

I am happy to report that Dijkstra is wrong again. I started with
Basic, and was eventually able to eradicate it.
It wasn't easy, thought, and since the remedy was injections of APL, one
could argue that the cure was worse than the disease.

Funny, I started with BASIC and it proved to be an excellent introduction
to Pascal and a way to get me to appreciate Perl's statement modifier if.
But then I learned on VMS BASIC, not on some line-number-driven brain-dead
monstrosity. :)

Well, maybe. I started with HP Technical Basic, writing fairly large
programs which I then had to maintain; it taught me a lot about coding
standards pretty quickly. OTOH, I was reading Software Tools at the
same time, which gave me some idea of how things might be better

I see your smiley, but I still wonder whether you're at least partly
serious about believing that your URL reference isn't helping anyone.
If so, what would make you think that this isn't effective? After
all, most of the people who receive it from you are first-time posters
... how many of them come back a second time with another FAQ after
reading your reply to them?

They *are* sent a polite and helpful response: everyone gets it when they

I haven't seen any significant drop off in the frequency of Frequently
Asked Questions and other questions which can be quickly answered from
that resource. Alas. (On the other hand, I haven't done any quantative
analysis, since that would probably be nearly meaningless anyway.)

You seem to be confusing my frequent _posting_ with the auto _email_ sent
to first-time posters to this newsgroup.

But it seems too frequent that this newsgroup sees a newcomer who, having
asked a question and been directed to the appropriate resources, follows
up with another question which can be answered by the same resources.

My contention is that almost all of the frequently asked questions you
see here are coming from first-time posters to c.l.p.m, and if this is
the case, few of these people are likely to have any knowledge of your
URL reference ... and therefore, they couldn't possibly be affected by
it. But I haven't done any quantitative analysis of my assumption,
either, so this boils down to my gut-level feeling about the nature
and motivation of the FAQ posters versus your own gut-level feeling
about them.

No ... I'm not confusing those two things. Even though modern
netiquette states that new users are *supposed* to read the group for
a week or so before posting, there are plenty of brand new posters who
don't know about this convention and just pop in to c.l.p.m right off
the bat and leave a message consisting of one or more frequently asked
questions. In my opinion, most of the time when you submit your own
frequent posting, it's in response to these kinds of first-time
posters. These folks will also receive the auto email in addition to
your posting.
And in case I'm getting one of your frequent postings mixed up with
another, I assume that the quote I enclosed at the end of this message
(a complete quote of a recent, representative message of yours to
c.l.p.m) is an example of what we're talking about here. Please
correct me if I'm wrong.

I haven't seen many people who do that here. Perhaps less than ten
different people every week (out of maybe 1500-2000 c.l.p.m posts
during that same period). But maybe I'm overlooking a lot of these
second-time-or-beyond FAQ posters, and I'd be happy to be shown some
evidence of a larger number of these people than I have stated here.
And finally, here's the representative message of yours that I
referred to above:

But there always has to be a *first* post here before the
auto-mini-FAQ can be sent ... even in the case of people who don't use
a munged address. I contend that most of the insulting responses here
are in reply to these first-time messages. Therefore, it seems to me
that if someone is taking it upon him- or herself to steer a
first-time poster to the docs, that this first-time steering should be
done in as polite a fashion as in the auto-mini-FAQ.
In my opinion, only if there is evidence that the user has ignored
previous suggestions to go to the docs should a somewhat sterner or
more pointed response be given (but even then, not insulting).

And, by the same token, they wouldn't be helped by posting of _any_
previous posting, no matter how frequent or helpful.
The best we can do for those folks is to try to persuade them to better
themselves before asking their next question.

No, it's a cron task. It would run automatically whether anyone posted to
c.l.p.misc or not. I'm pretty sure you're thinking of my replies to
posters in the newsgroup, but that's not what I was talking about. (My
replies may be boilerplate, but they're not automatic.) The autopost is
cross-posted to c.l.p.announce; you should be able to find it there.

That's too frequent, in my book. One who knows better and yet errs is in a

Message-Id: <6mhuq3$nd$1@nnrp1.dejanews.com>
I am looking for organizational software that we can use at the college I
attend, to organize our web pages on our server. The web pages are becoming a
hand full and we are looking for something that will tell us when they were
made and so that we can update them and what other pages they affect etc.
Please if you know of any e-mail me with the info thanks.

$holdfile = join '', @holdfile;
is more idiomatic and may be more efficient. (I haven't Benchmarked it,
but I recall it is discussed in the Blue Camel section on efficiency.)

Subject: sendmail problems
Message-Id: <358C9CED.1BAA1B5A@dragonslist.com>
I am attempting to use sendmail to send verification to a user when
they have submitted a form. The form processes fine but the email
message is never sent. If I copy the code to another pl file to attempt
to troubleshoot my sendmail section of code by itself, the code works
fine. I am new to sendmail but the syntax works fine from my test
program. Does the fact that it is being called from a form have
anything to do with it?

If you're using the proper commands to run another program from perl, but
the other program doesn't cooperate, then it's the other program's fault.
If you're not using the proper commands, then it's your fault. If you
aren't sure about the proper commands, you should read the program's
documentation. If you've read it and you're still not sure, you should ask
in a newsgroup about the program.
Hope this helps!

Subject: traveling portable
Message-Id: <6mi0c5$iqk$1@camel15.mindspring.com>
I travel around the country with my laptop, and I was wondering if there was
some way in perl that I could make the changes to windows 95:
1) the IP address
2) the netmask
3) gateway
4) dns
5) dynamic/static ip
6) ip server
7) the timezone
Trust me, I'm not using it for spamming. I think I'll shoot myself before
sending (or answering an ad of)
spam.
I just want some sort of profile set up for the different client sites I
visit, so I can print out documents and transfer files without having to
keep a log of ones that have been assigned. It's a real pain the way it is
now.
drop the 'anchor' if you wish to reply by e-mail, but I monitor the
newsgroup fairly often
Thanks...

Almost certainly, if you can change those via any language, you can do it
with Perl. First, though, you'll need to find out whether there's a
programmable interface to those settings. (Perhaps you need to edit some
file, perhaps you need to make some system call or run some external
program.)
Once you've determined that interface, if you're not sure how to implement
that from Perl, feel free to post again. Good luck!

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.
