Upload (probably a stupid question)
How do I make my script only send the filename rather than the full path when I use the CGI.pm upload function?

RE: references in perl...
Yes and no. I think that if you understand the concept of pointers, then you will be able to understand references more easily, but from what keep hearing from c/c++ people, there are differences. Perhaps someone else on the list can clarify more. One thing that Perl can do with references that I don't _think_ you can do in C is the concept of anonymous data structures. Take this as an example. my @arrayOfHashes = (); push(@arrayOfHashes, {first = 'foo', second = 'bar', third = 'nuts'}); I've now added an element to @arrayOfHashes which is a pointer to an anonymous hash containing three keys. I can then access the hash like this: foreach(@arrayOfHashes){ print The first is $-{first}\n; print The second is ${$_}{second}\n; } The first example accesses the key indirectly, and the second one dereferences the $_ variable first. In the second example, we could refer to the hash as %{$_}. -Original Message- From: christopher j bottaro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 11:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: references in perl... hello, i'm a c/c++ programmer trying to learn perl. there are just some things that are much more easily done in a language like perl than in c/c++ i've found out...=) anyways, i'm reading a short tutorial about references. am i wrong in thinking they are like pointers in c/c++? -- christopher -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Strictly speaking, perl will convert $count++ to ++$count if it can. Strictly speaking, there is another major difference no one has mentioned yet (and that many people might have trouble understanding). Using $count++ returns a NUMBER OR STRING, and then increments $count's value. ++$count increments $count's value, and returns THE SCALAR ITSELF. How does this matter? Well, watch: $i = 2; $j = ++$i / ++$i; What do you think $j will be? 3/4? Nope. 4/4, or 1. The reason is because the ++$i form is a footnote type of thing. Basically it means increment $i, but leave $i here whereas $i++ means return $i's value, and then increment it. Want to have your mind hurt? $i = 2; @j = (++$i, ++$i, ++$i); What do you think @j will be? (5,5,5)? Yes, it will. The elements of the list ARE $i themselves, and each element's expression increments $i once; so $i becomes 5, and then the list is ($i, $i, $i), and all those are 5. (Contrast this with ($i++, $i++, $i++), where the list is (2,3,4), NOT ($i,$i,$i).) Here's the brain-hurting: $i = 2; $j = ++$i + ++$i + ++$i; What do you think $j will be? 3 + 4 + 5 = 12? No. 5 + 5 + 5 = 15? No. (NO!?) It will be 13. 4 + 4 + 5. HOW does Perl manage that? It's because ++$i isn't executed until it's reached, and the THIRD one isn't reached until the first two have been evaluated: $j = (++$i + ++$i) + ++$i; # ++$i sets $i to 3 # ++$i sets $i to 4 # ($i + $i) returns 8 # ++$i sets $i to 5 # 8 + $i returns 15 CRAZY.

On Dec 6, christopher j bottaro said: i'm a c/c++ programmer trying to learn perl. there are just some things that are much more easily done in a language like perl than in c/c++ i've found out...=) anyways, i'm reading a short tutorial about references. am i wrong in thinking they are like pointers in c/c++? They are similar in purpose, different in implementation. As a C programm, you hopefully know that pointers can be manipulated: int num[5] = { 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 }; int *n = num; printf(%d + %d = %d\n, *n, *(n+1), *n + *(n+1)); # 2 + 4 = 6 You can add and subtract from pointers and C will do the right thing. Specifically, (n + 1) becomes (n + 1 * sizeof(*n)). In fact, we don't even NEED n here, because arrays are implicitly pointers. nums[0] is really *(nums + 0), and nums[1] is really *(nums + 1), which is really *(nums + 1 * sizeof(*nums)). So, now that I've spilled the beans on pointers, how are Perl's references not the same as pointers? Well, Perl doesn't appreciate you mucking around with the internals of its data storage. You can't go: @nums = (1 .. 5); $nref = \@nums; print $$nref, $($nref + 1); It doesn't work that way in Perl at ALL. First of all, $$nref treats $nref as a SCALAR reference, not an ARRAY reference. Second, $(...) isn't valid Perl syntax. ${$nref + 1} is valid, but doesn't do anything like you'd expect. You can't do the equivalent of pointer arithmetic in Perl. You merely use the data the reference refers to: print $nref-[0], $nref-[1]; # like $nums[0], $nums[1] Someone COULD write a Pointer class in Perl: use Pointer; my $p = Pointer-new([1 .. 5]); print $$p, ${$p + 1}; but I'd really question the usefulness of such a thing. I'd write it, but I'm afraid it would fall into the wrong hands and cause the sudden heat death of the Universe. Or would make a C or C++ programmer treat Perl like C (no offense). And Pointer.pm would need to do a whole lot overloading operators. And that's too much work for me right now. ;) -- Jeff japhy Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ stu what does y/// stand for? tenderpuss why, yansliterate of course.

The same reason why the following statment can almost never be valid in most programming languages: ++$i++; why? because both the pre and the post increment only returns the value (which is a constant) of $i and thus can never be assigned to anything. No matter which one executes first, the next increment will always fail. david btw, the ++$i / ++$i gives you a 1 thing behaves differently in other programming languages.
