Could some one please tell me how I should go about creating a good
socket based client written in PERL. I've already got a forking server
up and running and a client that talks to it, but I can't get the client
to keep the connection open to listen to what the server has to say in
reply. If it's anyhelp, my client looks a little bit like this at the
moment
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use IO::Socket;
$sent = "message to server";
$sock = new IO::Socket::INET ( PeerAddr => a.server.address.com,
PeerPort => 3333,

IO::Socket is brain dead in its error handling. What
you need here is $@, not $!. Yes, I know that makes no
sense but that's where IO::Socket keeps its error
messages... It's also not documented...blagh...
: # Sending the message to the server
: print $sock $sent . "\n";
One problem is right here. Or rather, right before here. You
need to set your socket to autoflush before you try to do any
real time conversations with it:
$sock->autoflush (1);
: # This next bit is what I'm using (without success) to catch what the
: # server's gonna send back.
: while ($new_sock = $sock->accept()) {
: while (defined($buf = <$new_sock>)) {
: chop($buf);
: print "Got back [$buf]" . "\n";
: }
: }
: close($sock);
You're a client, who are you expecting to accept()? The server
accept()s the client's connect(). You did the connection
when you created the IO::Socket object. Try this:
while (defined ($buf = <$sock>) {
chomp $buf; ## see perlfunc for chop vs chomp
print "Got back [$buf]\n";
}
Remember, you can always test the server's accept() by using
telent:
telnet a.server.address.com 3333

DB_File only gets installed with Perl if the system has Berkeley DB on
it. No Berkeley DB, no DB_File. And, installing DB_File.pm on a
system without Berkeley DB won't work.

Hi,

I always seem to find examples with only 2 values (hash with two values).
Like the password file in Unix. I'll need to put the following data in a DBM
file to get faster access: cause the file is about 2.5MB big:
example of file:
215215-545;15/06/1998;Name;Address;Zip;Tel;Fax;GSM;email;remark;
453242-543;18/07/1998;Name;...
and so on.
Can I use a DBM file for this??!!

i'm not sure which set you think is the "second set". however,
something like
$hash_ref = { LIST };
uses the { } to create the hash reference, just as
$array_ref = [ LIST ];
uses the [ ] to creat the array reference. in this case, the LIST
comes from
map {$_,1} @list
so you have
$hash_ref = { map {$_,1} @list };
to access the hash from $hash_ref, one would normally do something
like
@uniq = sort keys %$hash_ref;
or
@uniq = sort keys %{$hash_ref};
however, the assignment to the $hash_ref is skipped, so you end
up with the snippet you show:
@uniq = sort keys %{ { map {$_,1} @list } };
good luck :)

Check out 'perldoc perlop', specifically the section entitled 'Quote and
Quote-like Operators'.
The main difference between ' and " is that double quotes interpolates,
and the single quote does not.

It's in the Camel book...
Briefly, a single-quoted string is a simple literal string
$string = 'I am a string';
A double-quoted string will have variable names replaced by variable
values:
$statement = "the value of the string is $string<";
print $statement;
produces:
the value of the string is I am a string
Backquotes (``) act like double quotes first, but then the resulting
string is run as an operating system command (just as if you'd typed it
into a shell window) and the value of the `` statement is the output from
that command.
$path = '/users/bth';
$listing = `ls -l $path`;
print $listing;
produces you a listing of your home directory (assuming you're on UNIX).

You create a form in your HTML document containing a select menu.
Then you do something to get it to work, like writing a CGI or using
Javascript.

The goal it accomplishes, efficient implementation of highly recursive
algorithms, is important and useful. But in my opinion the techniques
you're learning are probably useless, because the aims of dynamic
programming techniques can almost always be accomplished more easily
with automatic memoization instead.
I'm planning to talk about this at the Perl conference in August. I
have a nice example showing how to solve the partition problem, which
is an often-used example of dynamic programming techniques. (See
Garey and Johnson, pp 90-91.)
You'd like to just program it in the most straightforward way, but if
you did, it would be extremely inefficient. So instead, you just
program it in the most straightforward way, and then you memoize it,
which adds about two lines of code to the program. The results are
exactly what you would have gotten if you had used the dynamic
programming techniques, except that you got them for free.

Hello Dominique,
Sorry, my French is not too good. But as I work for a localisation
company I can just about figure out that what you need is EMACS. I've
been using xemacs for a while now, which tastes especially good!
If you're using a UNIX system then get that.
On Macintosh, get BBEdit.
On Windows, get UNIX and then get EMACS!
Bye!

I have a couple of suggestions if you are on a Windows system.
1) Emacs is available for Windows. That's what I use. It is free.
2) Someone else from this group suggested EditPlus. I tried
it and I liked it. It is shareware ($20).

I have just found an editor for Win95/NT systems called UltraEdit32
(http://www.ultraedit.com) that I really like. It allows programmable
syntax highlighting for several languages including perl but any can be
added, multi-file find and replace and LOTS of other features. It is an
evolution of the old MultiEdit editor for DOS which was a dynamite editor.
Shareware $30 us.

Bonjour,
Je viens de rencontre un editeur de perl qui s'appel UltraEdit32
(http://www.ultraedit.com) et j'en suis tres content. Il est rempli de
qualites (oublie le mot pour 'features', priez de m'excuse) tres chouette et
tres facil a utiliser.
J'espere que cela vous aidera.

Hi all,
Excuse me for my lastfrench message, I wanted to send it to the french
Perl newsgroup, not to the english one.
Here is my request:
I know that it's not the first time that someone talk about this!
But, beeing a new user of the excellent Perl, I want to know if it exist
a good editor where you can get help on a Perl syntax by pressing a set
of key (i.e. Shift F1) on a key word in the text script?
Thanks,
Dominique Cretel

Codewright can be configured to do this. Whether it's a good editor
is a matter of taste, so I'll just say that its competent in that it
has everything I need, but I much prefer emacs or vim.
The help file for Perl appears to have been created from an older
version of the HIP (now Activestate) documentation for Win32 Perl.
Not everything was converted. You won't miss most of the stuff that's
not there in day to day programming, but there are some (to me)
obvious exceptions such as perlsub, perlbot, perltoot and, especially
for beginners, perltrap.
Generally I prefer to use emacs or vim and just keep a browser open
with the HTML version of the Perl documentation, but tastes vary and
you might prefer Codewright. It's fairly expensive, but I believe
there is a limited demo available at http://www.premia.com.

I failed to mention that Codewright is available only for Windows. If
you're not using Windows, never mind.

Hi,
when I do

use diagnostics;
use File::Copy;
copy("Foo","/tmp/Foo");
i get this warning
Use of uninitialized value at /usr/freeware/lib/perl5/File/Copy.pm line
80 (#1)
(W) An undefined value was used as if it were already defined. It
was
interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake. To suppress
this
warning assign an initial value to your variables.
whats wrong? and how do Is fix it ?

What version of Perl are you using? My 5.004_04 doesn't do this.

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

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
