Dear All, I have sort of questions, would you please give me some hint, even refering me to a perldoc would be nice too.
1. When I open a text file with *lines, however, I just want to read the first line, would this be a good idea ? open (FILE, "textfile.txt"); $firstline = <FILE>; close (FILE); would this process run till EOF, or terminated after read $firstline ? 2. I am using Win32 system , would you tell when is \n apprear and when is \r\n apprear ? What about this when dealing with binary files ? 3. Is this different for this 2 scripts ? version 1 : sub any { for (@data) { my ($a, $b) = split (/=/, $_) } return 1 } version 2 : sub any { my $a, $b ; for (@data) { ($a, $b, $c) = split (/=/, $_) } return 1 } 4. Is that reading binary data faster then reading text file ? 5. How can I write multiple line if remark like /* and */ pairs, instead of using # at every line ? 6. Is that any syntax for local call about 'use' and 'require', so as something like 'not require', 'not use' expressions ? 7. Would you give me some short examples for //e, and //g ? I am confused for their usuage. 8. Any modules can help to check connecting threats for a certain page ? or if I run $alive = `ping $ip` a good idea ? 9. Any modules can help to read and write the ID3vX for mp3 files ? Any ideas and respond will be very very helpful..... Really urgent for a project design and development..... Thank you very much =) Connie
