Perl has a great penetration in France also, I've worked on many Internet
projects, Intranets too ... and I was rated at the price of Database
Developpement which is not bad at all ...
Recently I was (and am still) working for a big international company that is
migrating from NetWare to NT (alas) and wanted to migrate his old-home made
transaction from an expensive private network ($2000 a month) to something
cheaper ... with NT. The rate for my intervention (quite short) in that
company was high (not what I earned, but what the intermediate factured ...
nearly twice).
I think there's no perl exam to have, only practice, mastering and good ideas
!
If you feel despreciated compared to java programers, say your manager all
you can do with Perl that Java can't (work on Win 3.11 i.e. 16 bits
computers, use OLE, ODBC, large Databases, high performance because it is
precompiled before execution, as a JIT for Java which is not very spreat),
say also you can do OO programming and CORBA (see module COPE), and have a
protable and customized interface (Tk for all, X11 ... for Unix). Say also
how easy it is to make a perl module for C libraries, and to interoperate
Perl and C ...
I also worked as a webmaster, and I'm still wondering how guy can run CGI
scripts in Java ... they must have a CRAY, not a little PC under Linux which
is enough to have High performance with Perl.
And long Live to the Perl Republic !

I'm currently helping a private company with a big project for some
Belgian ministry. The main language of the deliverables is C++. My main
role is C++ expert. I'm in charge of persistence, portability (we develop
on NT and deliver on AIX), 'special' parts etc...
Perl is very important to our project.
In the beginning I created several scripts to help automating chores like
configuring a new development computer, creating Visual C++ project with
all options properly set, and the like.
More recently I ported Opal, the C++ object-to-relational persistence
layer I had written, to Perl. We decided to use Perl scripts in the
machinery that instantiates documents based on a template.
The script that initializes the DB (create tables but also lots of
objects) is in Perl as well.
And other tough parts remain to be done (like upgrading DB's), which will
be more easily solved by using Perl's flexibility.
So yes, we use Perl Seriously in a Serious project ;)

What does the command "which test" say in your shell?

Actually, the rule you really want to pick up from this is that if you're
running something in the current directory, always say so:
./test
Then you can call your scripts whatever you care to without worries, and
you avoid some nasty Trojan attacks that people can spring on people who
have . in their path. It took me a while to get used to putting ./ before
things, and then I took . out of my path and never looked back.

Or you could tell the shell to run perl specifically:
# perl test
I got into that habit while running win NT MKS Korn Shell (which in my

Some shells implement 'test' as a built-in command.

Subject: Re: perl vs javascript for field validation
Message-Id: <359B5ABF.9D834B83@yeary.net>
I agree with you; the JavaScript alert boxes can be somewhat annoying at
times. However, I think when used to validate form data (in conjunction
with redundant and complete server-side validation for those without JS
or for those who have disabled it,) JavaScript validation can be quite
beneficial.
I think the extra overhead in file size you are concerned about by
adding JavaScript to your HTML document is negligible compared to the
time and patience you might save for some of your clients/users. As you
said, with JS, errors are recognized immediately--A user can then
correct the information with minimal time loss and hassle, as opposed to
waiting for the HTTP connections, running the script, generating the
headers, outputting the response, and of course waiting for all of this
to travel up and down the pipe, especially if the 'net or connection is
bogged down. And besides, I don't believe a few extra Kilobytes of text
in the form of your JavaScripts will even be noticed.
As far as 'user satisfaction,' and this is just my opinion of course, I
think people who have trouble filling out an online form completely and
correctly can use all the help they can get: immediate verification
might be perceived as more helpful and useful to these folks.
Conversely, for the folks who can easily and competently fill out a form
correctly, they shouldn't be bothered by the JS alert box at all...
Email address above is bogus.

Subject: Perl, IIS 4.0 - PLEASE HELP!
Message-Id: <6nj58t$305$1@ezekiel.eunet.ie>
Hi,
I've just installed the latest version of perl and IIS 4.0. The perl
scripts runs fine on the command line with the correct output, but when I
run it through a browser, there's no output, e.g. script
$foo = `dir`;
print "$foo";
print "bar";
On the command line it prints out the current directory and bar, while on
the browser it only prints out bar.
I've searched through Deja News and some other places, apparently its
something to do with IIS not using a console to execute the perl scripts,
thus causing I/O problems. I've changed the setting in Metabase so it does
use a console when executing the script, but this still doesn't seem to
work.
I've tried EVERYTHING, including stuff like 'cmd /c c:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s
%s' on the script map, its COMPELETELY hopeless.
Please help.
Thanx in advance.

You must be using a different "Perl" language from the rest of us.
The following is from perldata: "If quoted, the type of quotes you use
determines the treatment of the text, just as in regular quoting. An
unquoted identifier works like double quotes."
The change you are promoting is a complete no-op. So let's ignore *your*
silly answer.

Oh, and there is a difference now between the 2? If the original poster is

Did you do what the warning suggests? If so, what's the verdict?

Subject: Problem with server
Message-Id: <6nh7rf$v1$1@news2.xs4all.nl>
Hi,
I've got a perl script that searches through a flat textfile of 2.5MB. It
usually finds data in 3-5 seconds. Somehow though, the server were the
script is situated, can't handle the script. It is too heavy, or takes to
many processes. I was told this happened because people on the net use the
search form, they hit Submit and after 2 seconds they get impatient so they
click back and try again.
Is this true?
What can I do about it?
Thanks

There is not that much you can do about users clicking the submit button again.
What I'd probably do is starting output to the browser, so that the submit
button disappears and then urging the user for a bit of patience, and then do
the scanning.

Oh, those nasty people on the net! Maybe you send them all an email
they should be more patient.

Is there some reason that you can't use Graham Barr's excellent Net::FTP
module, included in the standard distribution since 5.004 or so? It could save
you a process, and keep things a bit more maintainable. You can do virtually
everything with it that you can do with the interactive ftp client, and a lot
of things you can't. Example:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use Net::FTP;
my $ftp = Net::FTP->new('hostname') or die "Couldn't connect!\n";
$ftp->login('user','password') or die $ftp->message;
$ftp->cwd('directory') or die $ftp->message;
$ftp->get('remote_file','local_file') or die $ftp->message;
$ftp->quit;
__END__
If you want to do some intermediate processing on the data you're downloading
before it gets written to disk:
open DNLD,'>local_file' or die "Couldn't open: $!\n";
my $rfd = $ftp->retr('remote_file') or die $ftp->message;
while ($rfd->read($buffer,$bufsize,$timeout))
{
&whack_away_at($buffer);
print DNLD $buffer;
}
$rfd->close or die $ftp->message;
close DNLD or die "Couldn't close: $!\n";

Message-Id: <359C8C9A.1DF7@cfwb.be>
Hi all,
I have downloaded Cygnus (cdk.exe 12.394k) and his user tools
(usertools.exe 3.139k). I have installed it on my D drive.
I'm going to build the last Perl5 for Cygnus.
I have modified the ld2 file in setting my Perl path (D:\Perl5.004_04)
When I launch it, the Configure command file tell me that:
-I don't see Mcc out there, offhand.
-I don't see cpp out there, either.
-I don't see csh out there, either.
-I don't see less out there, either.
-I don't see line out there, either.
-I don't see more out there, either.
-I don't see nroff out there, either.
-I don't see pg out there, either.
-I don't see sendmail out there, either.
-I don't see zip out there, either.
Why???
And I get an error when it try to use gcc2 (it appear to be a good shell
script)!!!
What can I do, to go on????
Thanks,
D. Cretel
