Thanks for your time, Regards, Rajesh Hi Rajesh, yes you're right: 921600 sure is supported by hyperterminal on WinXP. i only use serial communication on Win98 machines at work, and i dont remember ever seeing it that high. anyhow, im still pretty sure the Win32API perl module only supports 128K maximum. I see there is a Device::USB module on CPAN, but it appears to be very recent and the only review available says it failed installation. whats more, it appears to be dependent on a certain "libusb" package which is still in development *and* Linux-specific. my only experience with USB/Serial converters has been one of frustration, but admittedly i never really worked with it much. so... I think you will have a difficult time, but maybe it is possible. The only thing i can say for certain is that "I Really Have No Idea."

As mentioned - you could find a module, but this should work for your case:
use strict;
use warnings;
$_ = 'one "two three" "four five" six seven';
s/"([^"]+) ([^"]+)"/$1\000$2/g; # replace embedded spaces with nulls
my @a = split / +/;

RE: references - inject sub/params into longterm running thread
If you use shared arrays or hashes, Win32 perl will leak handles if you
use threads.
It will leak 2 handles per thread. If you're only starting say a couple
of threads an hour, no problem. If you're starting hindreds, within a
week or so, you'll run out of resource space for the process and it will
crash.
The leaking handles is a known bug when using threads on Win32.
Cheers,
John

RE: references - inject sub/params into longterm running thread
hi there
basically...I have instantiated long term running thread/s.
in the main thread, i want to pass a subroutine (code ref) and its parameters
into a threads::shared variable, then execute it in a separate thread running
in a while loop.
I want to do this, because having a group of a couple instantiated long term
running threads, before processing starts, would be less expensive, then
instantiated many short term threads for each call...which would be expensive
and affect performance due to the lag in thread creation.
calls and subroutine's/parameters will vary, so injecting the code into a
running thread is what i would like.
I hope you all now can understand. Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
- Jeremy A.

921600 ?? is that the speed you are trying to communicate serially at?
Is such a serial port speed even possible, or is that a typo?
at any rate, Win32::SerialPort is limited by its Win32API::CommPort
dependency, which I am almost certain has a maximum speed of 128K
I've never seen Win32::SerialPort run at anything faster than 115200.
and I've had some problems with serial modems over 56K
these modules were stablized about six years ago, and I dont think
theyve been updated since. Serial-Port communication is kind of
"trailing-edge" technology these days.

John (the original poster) is adding a batch of floating point values that only have two decimal places. from his specific example, it does not appear that he needs or wants more accuracy than than the one one-hundredth place. for just two (or three or four or six!) decimal places, he doesnt need to worry about IEEE floating point standards, or the specifics of his architecture. > For example, they must differ by more than 0.01 to be considered different. not quite. example, when rounding to nearest 1/100th: 1.104 and 1.105 are different. this .001 difference is the minimum that can ever be measured as different. 1.105 and 1.114 are the same. this .009 difference is the maximum that can ever be measured as the same certainly there are Other Ways To Do It (tm) -- and probably "better" ways to do it -- but this method will always work for these types of numbers. ...

They work like pointers in C kindof.
Why do you want to reference your subroutine?

Works for me with/without a second arg (using 'SAPI.SpVoice' class on XP).

speak() needs a second argument. Make it:
$voice->speak("hello world", 0);
With that change in place, it works ok for me on Windows 2000.

Just pass a ref rather than concatenating scalar strings together.
use strict;
use warnings;
my $subref = \&test;# reference to sub
&$subref (\*STDOUT, "test args\n"); # pass FH ref and string
sub test {
my ($FH, $blah) = @_;

text-to-speech
Hi,
I have found the following script example that can speak a text using the
standard MS text-to-speech sinthesizer.
It works fine.
I am using Windows 2000, and I have the Narrator screen reader installed and
it uses MS text-to-speech, but I have also installed IBM ViaVoice
sinthesizer for Windows, and I can use it with Narrator.
I am wondering if it is also possible to create a perl program that uses
ViaVoice sinthesizer under Windows, because ViaVoice is also SAPI compliant,
just like MS text-to-speech sinth.
I have tried (like in the example below) to replace the class ID of MS
text-to-speech with the Registry class ID of Viavoice, but it doesn't work,
giving an error that tells that the "Speak" method cannot be applied to an
undef variable.
I would like to use Viavoice, because it is more clear than MS
text-to-speech, and I am blind, so I would like to use it in some
applications.
Thank you very much.
Teddy

let me clarify my problem.
I have a reference of a subroutine.
eg.
$sub = "test";
..deref and execute
&$sub;
...
sub test {
my ($sockethandle,$blah...) = @_;
..do something
}
in order to pass the paramenters, i decided to do this :
sub main {
my $sub = "test|$sockethandle";
($sub,@_) = split(/\|/,$sub);
$⊂
}
if this is to work correctly, I need to take a socket handle, convert it to a
socket ref, then a scaler, so i can pass it as a parameter. in order to use the
socket later, i have to take the scaler, convert it to the socket ref, then
dereference it.
Is there an easier way to pass parameters with a subroutine reference?

Re: comparing floating point numbers
<>Robert's solution (rounding with sprintf) is pretty good, except
it requires that you
know something about the numbers. For example, they must differ by more
than 0.01 to
be considered different. What happens when the two numbers are;
0.101
0.100
Now you need to check for differences beyond 0.1, actually
0.001
Perhaps a better way, one that doesn't require any knowledge of the
range of the numbers,
is to check the ratio of the two numbers. This should eliminate (or
reduce) the dependence
on their magnitudes. So, instead of comparing the original numbers (or
the rounded
numbers) compare their ratio;
abs(1-$sum1/$sum2) <= 1e-12
If the numbers are "equal", the ratio will be something like
0.99 or 1.01,
depending on which of the two numbers is bigger. The abs and "1-"
removes the dependence
on which of the two numbers is bigger, and shifts the value to near
zero, giving a single
result such as 0.01.
On my Winblows 98 machine the difference between the two numbers is
-2.8421709430404e-014
So a cutoff value of 1e-12 is probably suitable. Other platforms may
need a different cutoff value
depending on their native precision. I suspect 1e-10 might be a good,
platform independent, value.

RE:
Hi,
I am using Win32 serial port APIs in Active perl 5.8.2 for opening COM port.
I am getting this error when I open the COM port with a different baud rate
(eg: 921600). It works fine with baud rate 115200.
The way I open the COM port is
print STDOUT "Number of testcases: $ARGV[0]\n";
$config_file = "..\\config\\uelog_port_settings.cfg"; #
uelog_port_settings.cfg contains the
#
configuration parameters for the COM port to
$uelog_port_hndle = Win32::SerialPort->start ("$config_file")
or print "Can't open Serial port for UE log
$config_file";

Re: activeperl + mysql + threads = crash

Hello,
I made an additional test:
Using the code below Perl v5.8.7 does not crash. In the Task Manager I
can see that Perl uses 3 threads.
With the original code he uses only one thread.
--- new code --
use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;
use threads;
print "first\n";
my $thread = threads->new("doIt","argument");
print "scound\n";
my $thread1 = threads->new("doIt","argument");
$thread->join();
$thread1->join();
$thread->detach();
$thread1->detach();
sub doIt
{
my $Thishost = $ENV{COMPUTERNAME};
my $addr = (gethostbyname($Thishost))[4];
$addr = join(".", unpack("C4", $addr));
my $dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=resources;host=$addr";
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn,"user", "password") or die "can not
connect to database \n";
# my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:database','user','password');
my $stmt = $dbh->prepare ('select resolution from resources');
$stmt->execute();

}
$dbh->disconnect;

Change the database connection parameters (eg. username, password,
table name) to your database.
My analysis of the problem is as follows:
1. Using the ODBC driver is ok. I've tested with MSSQL connection
and it's fine.
2. The problem lies with using threads alongside DBI. If I take
out 'use threads' all is well.
3. There are 2x doIt() calls because it only fails on the second
database connection.
4. It seems to be related to fetchrow_hashref(), because if I take
that out, all is fine.
Can someone confirm this? Is there anybody who can suggest a
workaround? Thanks.
There is no problem here, Perl v5.6.1. Which Perl version do you use?

Here is sample code with Well ur right, the easy answer is to do the $diff < .0001 route. If you really want the hard core way, be prepared to engage in some heavy wizardy and/or pain. What u have to do is basically take over numeric processing from perl and do everything in scientific notation. Then provide all ur own arithmetic functions. Of course I'm sure somebody has already implemented a module to do this. Numbers will then be represented as two element arrays of an integer and an integer power of ten. 2.35 = 235*10^-2 = (235, -2). Bye bye floats. U can override the builtin math operators or provide functions. Another outside thing u can do is do everything in base 210 numbers. Why 210? It's the product of all the prime numbers less than 10 so it can eliminate run-on fractions.
