To be a valid signature it must begin with the string "-- \n" so 
technically there is no signature in your postings.  :-)

Just some background on my list...Those modules listed on my signature are 
for the benefit of people new to Perl that are curious about what modules to 
look at. There's not the only ones I suggest using, but I think they are in fact 
so useful to development and some common situations that I put them on my 
signature, and continue to add to it whenever I find something cool (added 
DBD::SQLite a couple weeks ago because it is AWESOME. Use it if you don't already)

That being said, I will never put diagnostics on my list. I hate diagnostics. 
I think it's longwinded, and it's generally general statements about problems 
are ignorant. It always fogs up my output. Look at the output of "use 
diagnostics; print $i;". If anyone likes diagnostics, sorry. TMTOWTDI. I like 
warnings and it's usually one line SUGGESTIONS. My code always begins "use strict; 
use warnings;" and I ain't changing it.

Re: Setup Forwarding

thx's that's what I thought, just wanted to make sure :)

someone on the list has setup something similar on this type of server.

Any help much appreciated :)

The underlying OS won't matter, what matters is the server software 
listening on the mail port (25).  Assuming both are sendmail (at least I 
am assuming that is what the Linux box uses) then there should be no 
difference.  I would check that the SMTP server software is the same, 
versions match, and configurations are similar. If they aren't then you 
should be able to get them configured the same, but then we are getting 
really off topic

Re: starting perl

[Jeff Westman]

You need to add perl to your %PATH% or give it an explicite path name such as
 
c:\> \perl\bin\perl -w -e "print \ "Hello, World!\n\";"

But when I type what it says in the book I am getting an error messagethat states that 
I have entered a bad command or filename
what I am entering is c:\> perl -w -e "print \ "Hello, World!\n\";"
And then I get the error message.

I must be doing something wrong but I can not figure out what it is.

Pod::HtmlEasy produces pages that, while not relying on the CPAN css (which
could be considered either a plus or minus), are rendered in the current
CPAN style.

When I open my dos prompt it = opens  like this=20 C:\WINDOWS> would that make much

I recommend warnings over not using warnings at all
(and over -w). diagnostics is great, but after a while I
got used to what to look for and didn't need it any more.

why is it everyone keeps suggesting use warnings when you could use

I'd go for the diagnostics instead of the warnings module. Does this 
have any negative side effects (besides working towards the title of 
most-annoying-know-it-all) or why exactly is everyone advising warnings

starting perl

[Charlie davis]

I am a beginner here with learning perl. I have downloaded a perl program that also 
came with apache and the installer to install t hem. But when I try and run the hello 
world program in dos it dose not work. I am getting an error that it could not be 
found.

anyone have any idea what I could have done wrong?
