First of all, I suspect at least most of these sites that are
expecting subscriptions do not intend for you to "repackage,
rebroadcast, or otherwise redistribute" their content. You might want
to clarify exactly how they word their subscriptions. I can imagine
if you were, for example, subscribing to the WSJ, and then offering
everyone access to your subscription account, they might not be
particularly happy about that, and they may sue you.
Now, if you are legally entitled to do this, what you need is a script
that will retrieve the data and pass it on to the web browser, which
will take care of the login, and maybe even parse the code a bit to
insert your own banner, or whatever.

Use xor, and the fact that two bytes xor'ed together will be null only
when the two bytes are the same:
$a = "aaaaadaaacaaf";
$b = "aaaaaraaataag";
$_= $a ^ $b;
print "strings differ in positions: ";
print pos, ", " while /\0+/g;
which, when run, will print
strings differ in positions: 5, 9, 12,
Unfortunately, it still does a pattern match.

Well, first of all, you're wrong about "there is only so much you can
do" - with perl, like almost any language, it's really "there is
almost nothing you CAN'T do."
As for "concept" versus "code" - I would be more inclined to want to
protect my time and energy, not the idea. I mean, I am more than
willing to share my ideas about how to implement a feature, but what I
wouldn't like is to find out that somebody has been simply taking my
scripts and using them for themselves without my knowledge or
approval. Sure, you can use my scripts to get an idea on how to do it,
but I'd prefer it if you took the time yourself to write your own
program.
I mean, I suppose in this funky world where you can be sued for
helping someone, we could even stretch it a little (well, it's a long
stretch really) to say that not having a copyright statement in your
source code could (albeit unlikely) help you if someone tries to sue
you for some negative affect caused by your programming - I mean, if
they are in violation of your copyright and licensing by using the
code, how can you be liable for any resulting damages?
Even though many bubble-heads got all wrapped up by the announcement
in January by (some company) that they had patented "shopping carts",
the bottom line is, you really can't patent a general concept, and if
you can in terms of administratively getting the patent approved, no
reasonable judge would uphold it. Same goes with copyright. You
have a better chance suing someone for actually USING YOUR code than
you do suing someone for doing the same thing your code does. I mean,
if you can print both scripts out, and every variable name is the
same, the subroutines are the same, the basic flow is the same, you
can probably sue the schmuck's pants off, but if he's just written a
script that also connects with umich.edu to get the weather, I don't
think you stand a chance.

Rooms at the Fairmont Hotel for the Perl Conference are completely sold
out
so we've made arrangements with the Hilton Hotel for a block of rooms
They're offering the same rate of $169 (plus local taxes)
which is good until August 2, so make your reservations as soon as
possible.
The Hilton is located just two blocks from the Fairmont, a five minute
walk, so you will be able to easily get to the conference without a car
or taxi. Be sure to mention the O'Reilly Perl Conference to get the
special
rate.
San Jose Hilton and Towers
300 Almaden Blvd.
San Jose, CA 95110
408-287-2100
800-HILTONS
Reservations received after August 2 will be accepted based on room and
rate
availability.
If you haven't already signed up for the Perl Conference, don't wait.
Tutorials
are filling and some are likely to be closed very soon.
And don't forget, Perl Conference attendees get a special break if they
want to
attend Open Source Developers Day on Friday, August 21. Open Source
Developers Day is a one day program on how to set up an open source
business
in the real world, with practical information on issues unique to open

Hi. Got a quick question for everyone. I want to generate a page with some
data from a text file that resides on another server which is updated every 5
minutes. The external file is on a web server so it is readily available and

My question is, is this possible to import this file with perl or would I have
to run a cron job to ftp the file every 5 minutes or so to my server and parse
it from there?
Thanks

Subject: Problems Running An executable from within PERL
Message-Id: <35be29d4.26097145@news.worldlinx.com>
Hi, I'm trying to run an executable from within PERL. The program
simply creates a file and writes the date to that file. The executable
runs fine if I run the script from the command prompt. However, when I
run the script from within a browser, it seems that the executable
does not run. I am doing the following:
$return_value = system("test.exe");
When run from the command prompt, the return value is 0.
When run from within a browser, the return value is 256.
I know that the script is running on a NTsystem and I believe the web
server is WebSite.
Any ideas?

If you're wishing merely to _find_ (as opposed to write) programs,
this newsgroup may not be the best resource for you. There are many

Use a hash.......
$clients{$client_name} = $other_data;
Now, every time another instance of the client name is encountered,
the old value ($other_data) is overwritten with the new value for
$client_data.
You can only have one instance of a particular key in a hash, so this
eliminates duplicates.

The CGI.pm module does not have this problem. Maybe you can get a more recent
Perl running on the SGI since CGI.pm requires 5.004 or better.

I think he just misunderstood himself. I suspect he wants to know
what browser is being used to access his site, which would be easy to
detect:
%ENV{USER_AGENT}
you just need to know what values a browser will send in the
user_agent string.

Administrivia:
Special notice: in a few days, the new group comp.lang.perl.moderated
should be formed. I would rather not support two different groups, and I
know of no other plans to create a digested moderated group. This leaves
me with two options: 1) keep on with this group 2) change to the
moderated one.
If you have opinions on this, send them to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
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.
