Message-Id: <yR1w1.38$7E2.93482@nntpserver.swip.net>
Hi everyone!
How do I split the command line (i.e. $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}) so I get the key
in one array and the value in another array. Both should be depending on
each other so that key 1 is connected to value 1 and so on.
The command line could look like this:
test.cgi?key1=value1&key2=value2 .........
Would be grate if someone can help me with this! Thanks!

I suspect there's a quicker way, but how about something along the lines of:
@chunks = split(/\&|\?/,$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}); # make an array of passed info
foreach $chunk (@chunks) {
($key, $value) = split(/=/,$chunk); # split each chunk on the = sign into
key/value
$vars{$key} = $value if $value; # this checks to make sure it's got a
value to save
}
Then you should have an associative array, %vars, which contains your input
string, callable by key.

use CGI;
By the way, the value of $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} is not the "command line",
it's the "query string".

I recommend you go to CPAN and get CGI.pm. Everything will be easier
then!
(this is also recommended in perlfaq9, which will be useful to read if
you want to do perl CGI-programming)

Subject: strange question
Message-Id: <35C20FBB.D91E194D@mailexcite.com>
Hi all,
Here is a rather strange question. I have just coded a proxy server in
Perl. I know this is not a Perl newsgroup, but I think the question
still applies. See, this perl script is for a proxy server. And if you
know about proxy servers, you know that they will fetch a page for your
browser, then return the result of the fetch to your browser. Here is
the thing. Most javascript that occurs on a page, seems to be within
the <html></html> tags. But every once in a while, you find situations
where the javascript is added after the </html> I want my proxy server
to tack on a javascript trailor (if you will) that will display an alert
message. I will not include the whole code because of bandwidth
considerations, but below is a SHORT excerpt of a failed attempt. Any
help would be greatly appreciated, and thanx in advance!
~Prime
print CHILD <<END_of_Multiline_Text; # This tells the proxy to print
all of
#
the following to the browser.
</noscript>
<!-- -->
</noscript>
<SCRIPT LANGUGE="JavaScript" onLoad="hello()">
<!--
function hello(){

Makes one wonder if Ted realizes what newsgroup he's posting to.
And if he knows about Randal Schwartz's tried-and-true

Yeah, in fact Mr. Schwartz's proxy code is much more functional, but for some
reason that I could never figure out, it just would not work for me. I could
never get it up and running. If I had, I would have used it a long time ago.
But for now, I just decided to code one from scratch.

Please take this as constructive criticism. I don't really see
anything wrong with what you wrote [except for item (3) below],
just some alternatives that may have some advantages in some cases.
1) Much shorter:
$string= "A string to be converted";
@ascii= unpack("C*",$string);
2)
) while (@letters[$count] ne "")
) {
) @ascii[$count] = ord("@letters[$count]");
) $count++;
) }
foreach $let (@letters) {
push( @ascii, ord($let) );
}
3)
) @ascii[$count] = ord("@letters[$count]");
"@letters[$count]"
should be written as:
$letters[$count]
I say this one is a problem because writting C<@array[$index]>
when you mean C<$array[$index]> can lead to serious surprises
in certain situations. For example:
@lines[$count]= <STDIN>;
would read all lines from STDIN and throw away all but the first
one because C<@lines[$count]> is a _list_ that happens to have
just one item in it.
Adding quotes where you don't need them can also lead to problems
because it forces a variable to be interpretted as a string when
it might not hold a string value. But good examples of this
causing a problem are rather advanced.
Thanks for the posting.

This won't work. LOCK_EX is a constant that likely evaluates to
one of the O_* constant values, which is why it doesn't complain.
You *can* do this in this way, but you need support for an open(2)
flag such as O_EXLOCK. Note that this is not portable at all. -Most
SysV systems don't have this flag for instance. If you're on
a system like FreeBSD and not planing on putting it anywere else
however, this is a very handy shortcut.

Check out the DB_File man page. It has locking examples for
DBM files. At least, Berkeley DB files, but you might be
able to use similar ideas for NDBM.

Not sure about this but I think I have used something like this in the
past:
my @thingy_array = @{$hash{'thingy'}};
for assigning arrays in hashes to arrays.
So will this:
push @{$$$hash{'thingy'}}, 'hmm';
work? I don't know but it may be worth trying.

This was a mistake I made when first learning perl. I assumed (as you
apparently did too) that reading a line of a file "<FILE>" without any
assignment just placed the line in $_. I gained this impression from
"while(<FILE>){}". Sadly, that assumption is incorrect. Explicitly
assign the line to a variable.

It won't work in either case, as the code you posted contains a syntax
error. Next time post your real code.
Even without the syntax error, it still won't work in either case. The
<> operator only assigns to $_ when it is alone in the conditional of a
while loop. In void context, the line read is discarded.

Message-Id: <null>
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.
