How do I go about making the output from 
CPAN::Shell->i; go into a file handle
Instead of STDOUT like it does in this formulation:

$target = "somefile";
if($opt_r){
  open(FH,">$target") or die "Cannot open $target: $!";  
print FH CPAN::Shell->i;  
  } 
}

Possibly with bad [ie Win 9x] operating systems.  On better operating systems
there are full-screen display modes, vut there are also always ways to get

So that they won't be global.  Using global variables is not bad per se,
however most professional programmers try to avoid using them.

The warning is telling you to add the package name to the variable which
in this case is probably main.

use strict;
$main::strg  = 'A string';
$main::strg2 = 'a second string';

Which can be shortened to:

use strict;
$::strg  = 'A string';
$::strg2 = 'a second string';

if i am not dreaming, OP asks for whether there is new files adding to the 
directory, not that if a file change inside a directory. yes, both mtime 
and inctime reflect that and stat report that as well if new files are 
added or delete. no, stat won't report that if a file only changes. that 
has very little to do with the parent directory.

correct. OP doesn't care about file change (again, if i am not dreaming). 
only additon and deletion from the directory.

>

not sure what you mean but:

#--
#-- stat report mtime and inctime change in /tmp for the first touch but not 
#-- the second because it only touches it.
#--
rm -f /tmp/file
touch /tmp/file
touch /tmp/file

the various posters' comment on hooking is your best bet if your OS supports 
it. otherwise a combination of cache/compare/mtime is needed because:

touch /tmp/file
rm -f /tmp/file
touch /tmp/file
rm -f /tmp/file

fakes the cache/compare method by not seeing the file as they come-and-go. 
the tricky part is you have to do the checking really fast to make the 
algr. reliable. otherwise, the race condition thingy is going to get you.

I know a while back (12 months?) a talk was given at our local LUG - 
http://www.wylug.org.uk - about hooks being placed in the Linux kernel so 
that user mode processed could register an interest in a file or directory 
and would receive a SIG if any change occured. 

FAM provides something similar and I believe uses hooks in the linux 
kernel on that system and other means on other *nixes. There even exists 
a Perl module to hook into it (SGI::FAM) good luck getting it to work 
though, I have had some problems in the recent past as have other posters.

If someone is looking for a non-blocking way to detect new files or 
changes to files, etc. and doesn't mind a somewhat steep learning curve 
I would suggest POE, and possibly its pre-built PoCo::DirWatch component.

The OP should see my posts here for somewhat on the subject:

http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.beginners/44639
http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.beginners/44673
I would also suggest using MD5 or SHA1 hashing or something similar to 
detect true changes to a file, mtime can be faked, and checking a 
directory mtime on an interval may not lead to any reliable way to 
determine if the contents of said directory has changed. Combining the 
hash caching manner suggested previously with using a checksum hash of 
the files in the directory should give better results in detecting 
individual file changes.

http://danconia.org

The idea was so that progs like 'top' could become much more efficient by 
sleeping instead of polling, but I don't know how far along this is, or 
whether anyone's written a perl module for it yet.

Hi Sitha.

As Rob Anderson points out, @AoA is an array of array references, not
an inherently two-dimensional array. However it may be worh pointing
out that

  @var = splice @AoA, 2, 1;

is, as you say, removing the last element of @AoA and returning it. This
is the same as

  @var = pop @AoA

but this will give you a new array with one element that looks like

  @var = (
["EFG", "FGH"],
  );

What you may want is to dereference this before you assign it to the array
like this

  my @var = @{pop @AoA};

which leaves

  @var = ( "EFG", "FGH" );

so you can say

  print "@var\n";

getting

  EFG FGH

as output.

I hope this helps.

Rob

of course, it would have been helpful to let you know the easy way into your
array, which is just...

 print $var[0][1];

which does your deferencing for you, but where's the fun in that?

Just to make sure you understand, when you create an array of arrays like
this, your actually creating one top level array (ie @AoA) each element of
which is a reference to an anonymous (created by your ["ABC... declaration).

What you're printing is the reference removed from the top level array. So
you need to dereference it, perhaps like this...

my $inner_array_ref = $var[0];
print @$inner_array_ref;

This is long winded, but explains what's going on. We take the first element
of the array (which we assume exists) and then print it out, put deferencing
it to an array by prefixing it with a @.

You could also do this...

my $inner_array_ref = $var[0];
print $$inner_array_ref[1];

Which will print the second element from the inner array.

You'd be well advised to read up on references, and de-referencing stuff.

I recently asked this question myself on another "builtin" ksh command. 
Steve, a regular contributer to this list told me the reason why my 'set'
would not work:

=== begin cut ==
Actually, the shell isn't involved at all.  Since there are no shell
metacharacters in the string "set", perl tries to exec "set" directly,
using the C library function execvp(), which uses $PATH.

$ strace -f perl -e 'qx(set)' 2>&1 |grep exec
execve("/usr/bin/perl", ["perl", "-e", "qx(set)"], [/* 22 vars */]) = 0
[pid 10527] execve("/bin/set", ["set"], [/* 22 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT 
[pid 10527] execve("/usr/bin/set", ["set"], [/* 22 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT
[pid 10527] execve("/usr/X11R6/bin/set", ["set"], [/* 22 vars */]) = -1
ENOENT
[pid 10527] execve("/opt/bin/set", ["set"], [/* 22 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT

If you add a shell metacharacter, then perl will use the shell:

$ strace -f perl -e 'qx(set;)' 2>&1 |grep exec
execve("/usr/bin/perl", ["perl", "-e", "qx(set;)"], [/* 22 vars */]) = 0
[pid 10594] execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "set;"], [/* 22 vars */]) = 0

The same thing goes for system(), which is where this subtlety
is documented.

$ perldoc -f system
=== end cut 

So, in order to force the shell to be called using a builtin such as "whence"
or "set", simply add a ';' to the end of your string:

#!/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $cmdname = "date";
my $path = `whence $cmdname;`;   # note the embedded ';'
print "path - $path\n";

And BTW, "which" checks your path only... "whence" checks the to see if the
command is a builtin, a function, an alias (and finally) the path.  "which"
only checks the path

(Your messages are being sent twice for some reason)

After you've found the module, near the top of the page is a link called 
"Source" - click on it.

Still I prefer using (from the command line) "perl -MCPAN -e shell" (do a 
Google search of this newsgroup for more details).

RE: help perl ftp

2003-06-27 Thread Aman Thind
when you see the outcome of your search for Net::FTP on search.cpan.org you
see something like :

Net::FTP
FTP Client Class
perl-5.8.0 - Date - author
 
Net::FTP
FTP Client Class
libnet-1.16 - Date - author

DON'T click on Net::FTP, that is where you're finding the **theorotical
explanation**
click on perl-5.8.0 \ libnet-1.16 placed directly below it and you'll be
transferred to the download page.

mumble, mumble...  :-)  I did try the example first, exactly has given in 
perlop, but it didn't work. What I didn't try was the escape you use before 
the string symbol.

Will do! It sounds like this might be a case of not having read far enough 
(and I distantly remember having once read about two types of eval, but it 
apparently hasn't sunken in, yet). Thanks for the tips.

Simple question on splice

2003-06-27 Thread Sitha Nhok
Hi, if I have a multidimensional array like :
 
@AoA = (
 ["ABC", "BCD"],
 ["CDE", "DEF"],
 ["EFG", "FGH"],
 );
 
 
then do:
 
@var = splice @AoA, 2, 1;  # to delete the last row
 
print @var; #print what was returned from splice
 
 
 
The print statement prints an address.  I like it to print the contents
that was removed.  How do I do that?

checking OS support for flock

2003-06-27 Thread Motherofperls
I'm learning on a win98 machine and my webserver is a unix OS.  

win98 doesn't support flock and of course unix does.

How can I code to test if the function is supported?  I tried conditionals 
but it still throws the error.

You didn't follow the example - you changed the quotes for the eval.

You need this:

  eval "\$count = \$sentence =~ tr/$letter//";

or even better:

  $count = eval "\$sentence =~ tr/$letter//";

Read up on the two different types of eval, then you should be able to
find out why you got 10.

Thanks to Sudarshan & Janek!

I found this as suggested...

# NOTE: (from perlop)
# Because the transliteration table is built at com­
# pile time, neither the SEARCHLIST nor the REPLACE­
# MENTLIST are subjected to double quote interpola­
# tion.  That means that if you want to use vari­

# die $@ if $@;
#
# eval "tr/$oldlist/$newlist/, 1" or die $@;

But what I can't figure out (and have tried several variants) is how to get 
the count when using a variable (ala' from inside an eval). This is the 
closet I got:

my $sentence = "Here is my test sentence.\n";
my $letter = 'e';
my $count;

eval {$count = $sentence =~ tr/$letter//};
die $@ if $@;

print "The letter $letter appears $count times in the sentence...";

It produces "The letter e appears 10 times..." but the answer should be "6".

Socket question

2003-06-27 Thread Gabor Urban
Hi,

I am still working on a socket problem at low level, and there is
something I wander. Are Perl socket bidirectional? I am currently work
to test an Apache module, that processes HTTP POST requests. I thought
at the beginning, that a Perl script would do perfect for me.

Code fragment:

send SOCK, "$lines\n",MSG_OOB ;


$res = recv SOCK, $line,1024,MSG_OOB ;
while ( defined($res) )
{
print $line ;
$res = recv SOCK, $line,1024,MSG_OOB ;
}

print "Closed\n" ;
close SOCK ;   

So, the request is sent correctly, I could verify from the acces-log,
and it is processed properly by the module· It seems, the script
closes down before anything is recevied from Apache.

The socket was opened by the following code:

socket(SOCK, PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, $proto)  || die "socket: $!";
connect(SOCK, $paddr)|| die "connect: $!";

print "Host reached\n-\n" ;

I would appreciate any idea.

BTW I tried higher level socket solution, but could not even contact
Apache server :-()

RE: using whence

2003-06-27 Thread David Parker
As it happens, on my platform (z/OS UNIX), the "sh" actually IS a form of korn shell 
(it was ported to the mainframe by MKS, apparently), so there is a 'whence'. What's 
weird is that doing something like
   $path = `whence $cmd | uniq`
actually works, though the pipe to uniq is pointless. Something about piping it makes 
the value come back. Oh well, probably something weird in my UNIX environment. Thanks 
for the responses.

RE: IPC with parent from mutiple children

2003-06-27 Thread Lodewijks, Jeroen
I think I have found the problem.

It turns out that the closing and opening of the pipe is in the wrong place.

This code actually works:

#!/bin/env perl
#

use strict;
use FileHandle;

# Global variables;
my $child = 0;
my $max_child = 60;

# --- Sub routines -
sub SpawnChild
{
my ($no, $child) = @_;

my $pid = fork();   # Fork a new child process
if ($pid) { # This is the parent 
process
return;
}
else {  # this is the child
my $sleep = 0; #int(rand(3)+1); # a no use random work load
sleep($sleep);
print WRITE "Child $no Slept $sleep\n";
exit;   
}
}


sub Parent 
{
my ($max_iterations) = @_;

for (my $i = 1; $i < $max_iterations; $i++) {
$child++;

print STDOUT "Parent $i $child\n";
SpawnChild($i, $child);

while ($child >= $max_child) {
my $input = ;
print STDOUT $input;# print the input from 
the child
$child--;
}   
}
while ($child > 0) {# after the main loop 
has finished
my $input = ; # some child processes 
are still running
print STDOUT $input;# wait for them
$child--;
}
}

#  Main code 

pipe(READ, WRITE);  # open a pipe
autoflush WRITE 1;

Parent(1000);

close READ; 
close WRITE;

#  End --

I have ran this dozens of time and it seems it always works.

I hope somebody else can use this, might (s)he stumble upon multiprocessing

Cheers,

Jeroen

If you use Unix type of system, there a full shell solution:

How do I ensure that records are ended only with \x0A??? Do I have to 
use an other method than: print FILHNDL "Text...";???

to

$text=~s/$pattern/$replacement/ee;

but that did not work either. How can I make it work, so that it was as if 
I had written:

Enable warnings with either the -w flag or use warnings

The reason it does not work is this, the /e modifier changes the 
replacement string to very $1. The second /e modifier will try to 
evaluate this as a perl code. As you can see this is not a valid perl 
code. You would have recieved a warning message if you had enabled warnings.

Change $replacement to
$replacement = "\"very \$1\"";
The first /e modifier will change this to "very $1". The second /e 
modifier will give you the string you want.

$test=~s/$pattern/very $1/; # With the "very $1" being extracted from the 
					 #$replacement variable

Thanks

Converting/executing a PERL script in binaries

2003-06-27 Thread Leaw, Chern Jian
HI,

I'm wanting to execute my PERL script in a binary/executable form. I wrote a
C wrapper to do so. However, when executing the binary code produced by the
wrapper, it produced the warning message as attached the file
WRAPPER-OUTPUT.txt.

However, when executing just the script itself, the script did not produce
the warning "The flags you gave make no sense since you're not sending mail.
". The output is shown below:

I was wondering if someone could show me how I could convert a PERL script
into a binary code? Or if the way that I've wrote my wrapper is wrong,
kindly correct me. 
Are there any perl functions or modules which converts a PERL script into a
binary code?

Attached also are both my perl script(file-6.pl) and also my C wrapper code
(visit.cc).

Could someone kindly help me out?

Thanks

tr/// is what you need, perldoc perlop
Assuming your string is in $_, the number of a's will be
my $acnt = tr/a//;

RE: HELP! Reg-ex question

I can't test this out here, but I think the e after the regex makes the
right side get evaluated as code, so maybe you need to put quotes around the
right-hand side of your regex:

$text=~s/$pattern/"$replacement"/e;

I know a while back (12 months?) a talk was given at our local LUG - 
http://www.wylug.org.uk - about hooks being placed in the Linux kernel so 
that user mode processed could register an interest in a file or directory 
and would receive a SIG if any change occured. 

The idea was so that progs like 'top' could become much more efficient by 
sleeping instead of polling, but I don't know how far along this is, or 
whether anyone's written a perl module for it yet.

Re: using whence

2003-06-27 Thread Brandon Willis
`$cmd` or it identical twin qx($cmd) both shell out and actually do an
sh -c. So if you are looking for something specifically in ksh you'll
have to run ksh from within the qx().

How can i make this faster?

2003-06-27 Thread magelord
hi, i wrote this little program. it reads a file and puts the output
into a treelike structure. the content of the file is the output of the
du command. something like that:

124k /var/backups/dpkg.status.3.gz
12k /var/log/auth.log.1.gz
12k /var/log/daemon.log.1.gz
12k /var/log/debug.1.gz
12k /var/log/syslog.2.gz
12k /var/log/syslog.3.gz
132k /var/backups/dpkg.status.1.gz
132k /var/backups/dpkg.status.2.gz
4.0k /var/log/auth.log.2.gz
4.0k /var/log/debug.2.gz
4.0k /var/log/kern.log.1.gz

the program works fine for a small directory, but as soon as the
directory is bigger, it takes a long time to start. do you have any
idea how to make this faster?

to create the LIST file, simply do:

du -h -a /usr> /tmp/all 2>/dev/null -->or /var or any big directory
sort +1 /tmp/all > /tmp/LIST


zhis should generate a file called LIST in the /tmp directory. i hope
someone has an idea because this is really important.

Re: help me perl : sftp

2003-06-27 Thread Casey West
It was Friday, June 27, 2003 when vemulakonda uday bhaskar took the soap box, saying:
: dear all
: 
: i have a code to tranfer file between two linux machines using 
: sftp
: 
: for that i used "use Net::SFTP", but it is giving error saying 
: "Can't locate Net.SFTP.pm [EMAIL PROTECTED]
: (@INC contains /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/1386-Linux..) at  shh3.pl 
: linux.."
: how should i go and fix the problem

You need to install Net::SFTP on your computer.

The simple approach would be this, on the command line:

  perl -MCPAN -e'install Net::SFTP'

Alternativley, you could download it from
  http://search.cpan.org/author/BTROTT/Net-SFTP-0.05/

: My code :

Your code seems fine, if not a little messy. :-)

And by messy I mean, you should not post your username and password,
or even private IP address to a public mailing list like this.

It is most important that you change your password immediatley.

Good luck.
