Question about writing to excel file
Hi All, I am writing a script (needless to mention that it is in perl :)), that would read an excel file and save a copy of one of the sheet as another excel file and do processing on it. (Adding formats..etc). Can u please tell me which would be the best module to handle this. I have searched the CPAN and there were lots of modules related to writing to excel file. Please let me know to proceed... Thanks in advance. Alok __ Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

Running perl code through ssh
Hi All, I need to run a perl script, which ssh'es to another box and has to run some code, which is given in the present script and return some value. Is that possible?

Keeping track of a variable
Hi All, Can someone please tell me how do we keep track of a variable. ie Whenever a particular variable is accessed (printed, incremented etc.), a counter should increase, so that we can know how many times it has been accesssed.

Re: Variable $some_var will not stay shared
This is coz you have defined $arg1 and $arg2 to be
local, hence when u
defined a new subroutine, a new sope is defined,
and is beyond the scope of
$arg1 and $arg2. Hence the error.
But wait, I thought 'my' variables were 'local to
the enclosing
block'. If you look at the enclosing block in my
sample, it
DOES include the nested subroutine.
I guess I still don't understand.
Hi,
Not very sure but ...
since show_results is accessing a variable outside
its scope, it has become a closure. Also, it is a
nested sub-routine. So the first-time it is called,
both it and the calling func (_main) will refer to the
same variable. But when it is called the next time, it
will access its own copy of the two variables ($arg1
and $arg2) and hence the error message that the
variables will not remain shared.
HTH,
Alok
_main();
sub _main
{
my $arg1 = shift @ARGV;
my $arg2 = shift @ARGV;
show_results();
sub show_results
{
print $arg1 and $arg2\n; # - line 17
}
}
gives the following warnings:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/bempl/junk$ perl ev2.pl mary
jane
Variable $arg1 will not stay shared at ev2.pl
line 17.
Variable $arg2 will not stay shared at ev2.pl
line 17.
mary and jane
Can you nest subroutines? What do the warnings
mean?

Date problem
Hi All, I am facing this strange problem related to dates. When I print the date using the system's date command, it prints correctly. But when I do the same using localtime, it shows the month as wrong (1 month previous. bash-2.03$ perl -e '@a=localtime; print @a\n' 18 4 8 26 3 104 1 116 0 ^^^ bash-2.03$ perl -e '@a=localtime(time); print @a\n' 20 4 8 26 3 104 1 116 0 ^^^ bash-2.03$ date Mon Apr 26 08:04:23 GMT 2004 bash-2.03$ It shows the month as March (3) instead of April.

Re: Help in using Modules
Hi all, Hi Urvashi, I am trying to use a module named Nary.pm in my code... tree.pl first line of my code says use Nary; # Module in the same dir as the script Can't locate object method new via package Nary (perhaps you forgot to load Nary?) at tree-trial.pl line 3. can anyone tell me where i am going wrong!!! The module that you are trying to load is not in the default path where perl searches for any modules. just do perl -e print @INC and copy the module (Nary.pm) to any of those directories. If the module needs to be installed, You will have to use the proper process to install the module. Just untar the module and read the README file. But I think, it should not be that difficult.

Generating a chart/graph for comparison
Hi all, I need to capture data from oracle database and present it in form of a chart/ graph. Also, we need to compare the cureent week reports with last week, which can be done best through chart comparison. I checked out CPAN and found quite a few under category graph.

Re: warn ?!
Hi Jai,
A similar question was posted just yesterday. The
difference between between the two lines (37 and 57)
is that the second line contains a space after \n.
As pointed earlier, you can take take it as a
debugging option (ie remove \n or add a space and perl
prints out the line no. too)
:-)
