Message-Id: <35E23342.56777B71@unsw.edu.au>
What's a simple foolproof way to convert a string to an array, each
element of which is one character of the string?
e.g. "hello" -> ( h e l l o)
Is there any way of doing this with pack/unpack? I have
@chars = unpack('a' x length($string), $string);
This isn't particularly elegant, if you ask me, especially if $string is
a constant.
I have these two variations with split:
@chars = split(/.??/, $string);
@chars = split(/0x00*/, $string); # assuming 0x00 isn't in string
Which is better (unpack vs split) from a performance point of view?
(I've assumed unpack is).

That's just bizarre.
A more normal expressions is
split //, $string;
>Which is better (unpack vs split) from a performance point of view?
Answer 1: They're both fast enough.
Answer 2: use Benchmark;

perldoc Benchmark
But please do note however, that at least 99.9% of the time when
you feel you want to use an array of char, you aren't "Thinking
Perl", and you're likely working **way** too hard.
You're also very, very likely to be creating code that is going
to be mind-boggling slow if you are thinking that an array of
char in Perl is anything even slightly related to an array of
char in C/C++. On 32 bit machines, it's about 37 bytes per
"char" in the array, at least. Not to mention a much higher
lookup time the a C array value.
Which is why this thread begs the question, what exactly do you
plan on doing with this array of char?

How to send two different outputs, a binary file and html page?
I want my CGI to do the following :
Ask user save binary file and show up a html page on the browser as
well.
Usually, we provide a link to exe file, so the user save the exe file by
double clicking.
But, I want the server sends out the exe file.
I saw a copule of download pages worked.
I had try to send two different content-type and content-length for the
"first" output, but the second content-type was ignored.
Can anyone point me out the secret?
Thanks,

And what happens when you try opendir and readdir and $!? The
permissions might be correct for reading the file, but for glob
you might need right on the directory as well.
Hope this helps a bit,

Hi folks,
I am trying to use a file in a /usr/local/bin directory. I use the
folloing format :
use ::usr::local::bin::book_item;
Perl5 compiler recognizes the file in the directory but it gives an
error of
Can't call method "import" without a package or object reference at
./book line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./book line 3.
Please note that if I copy the book_item.pm file to Perl5 directory and
just type
use book_item;
no error occures.
I am wondering if anybody has any idea about how I can define a full
path for a *.pm file when used in
use command.

Hence my '(in the ideal sense)' caveat above. I agree completely that

Very good analogy to the proprietary vs. free-software schools in our own
profession. Note, however, that (even though they love doing it!) the
'pure', non-proprietary scientists are in fact getting paid for their
work. Everybody's got to eat. Deny even the most enthusiastic
astrophysicist *any* route to putting bread on the table, and he'll find a
day job (and probably continue astrophysics as a hobby, but with far less
time, energy, and resources to devote to it).
: Viewed in that light, your attempt at belittling how Tom C might

I understand your point, though *please* note that I'm not attempting to
belittle Tom C! The man's a demigod of free software, a fountain of
purest perlessence, and I thank him most humbly for his labors on my (and
others') behalf. I merely wished to make clear that Tom's path of
"distribute free software, live off teaching and consulting" has no
*inherent* moral superiority over "sell proprietary software, live off
revenues." They are merely two different ways to make a living.
To put it another way: Are the 'applied research, proprietary' scientists
you mention above morally inferior to their 'pure research, free'
comrades? Without pure, free research, we wouldn't know about (e.g.)
hydrogen spin-flippng under high frequency RF fields. Without applied,
proprietary, profitable research, the hospital wouldn't have had the NMR
scanner that diagnosed my brother's cancer and saved his life.
Personally, I like both!

Oh, so it's logical Perl supplies your missing documentation? And of

This is a good question. What do you think: why on earth are they

The answer in most cases is: to get quick answer. Not to learn
something, not to talk with others, not to create a comunity,
a better world. This would be OK with commercial support, but is

I think if we apply legal principles to being crass and arrogant and
substitute the phrase "crass and arrogant" for the word "muder" (and for those
of you who can't handle metafors I'm not suggesting there is any connection
between being crass and arrogant and murder) you'll find that the laws will
punish both premeditated and non premeditated murder, however if a murder was
committed with premeditataion the punishment is more severe.
Yes it's true newbies can be pretty crass and arrogant but you may notice they
don't do it persistently, where as the frequent flamers are always the same
people, time and time again. So which is worse - accidental crass arrogance or premeditated?
So what if a newbie posts a FAQ, or asks the dumbest question on earth it's
never the same newbie - doesn't make it right, but it doesn't justify being
intentionally abusive - the world is a mixed ability classroom and here I'm
talking about the bigger picture not just this NG.
But it seems just _too_ difficut for certain ppl to pass up the chance of
being abusive. I mean wtf it's only a newbie, not like it's somebody that
matters - don't you find that attitude slightly repugnant? I object to that
kind of thing IRL and I object to it here.

Odd that if what you say is true this thread and I don't even make it into the

because I got very tired, very quickly of seeing the same names flaming over,
and over ad nauseam and nobody said anything. "Chi tace, consente"- he whoever
holds their tongue, agrees.

Subject: Question about calling Perl from Perl
Message-Id: <35e2699b.1714088@news.demon.co.uk>
I want to separate my perl program into separate files and have a
single controlling program. There seems to be a few different ways of
doing this that I have read about from books and previous posts for
example system() or Do().
I am developing on WIN95 OS but the application will run run for real
on Solaris, so I'm looking for a portable solution.
Thanks
Phil

Subject: Using LWP to connect from different local addresses
Message-Id: <35E26971.1B5ECD3F@dds.nl>
Hi,
I'm testing a local app for which I have to connect to my server from
different IP addresses. I have multiple addresses set up locally, but
how do I go about setting the LocalAddr to one of those addresses. I've
located the creation of the socket (believe it's in http.pm) but I'm not
gonna alter that file :-)
LWP default connects from localhost...(I think at least)...but I want to
use one of my other addresses. I also want to maintain the default
LWP::UserAgent structure in my scripts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, either here or at my
emailaddress.
Thanks in advance,
Michiel van Leening

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.
