cpan, (Makefile.PL modification time in future)

2010-05-10 Thread David Schmidt
Hello list


I just attempted to upgrade my Catalyst modules and from 3 modules to
upgrade only Catalyst::Runtime failed with this error msg.

Your installer Makefile.PL has a modification time in the future (1273266119  
1273142317).

This is known to create infinite loops in make.

Please correct this, then run Makefile.PL again.

Im running debian squeeze/sid in a virtualbox on ubuntu 10.04
Is this problem related to the useage of a virtual machine?


Any help is appreciated

david

 You code example doesn't work for me because my program is an entire

 You may not need an eval block:

 perldoc -f alarm
 [ SNIP ]
            If you want to use alarm to time out a system call you
            need to use an eval/die pair.  You can’t rely on the
            alarm causing the system call to fail with $! set to EINTR
            because Perl sets up signal handlers to restart system calls
            on some systems.  Using eval/die always works, modulo
            the caveats given in Signals in perlipc.


 And besides, an eval with a block is compiled at the same time as the rest
 of your program and doesn't have the run-time overhead of a string eval.


 So basically I could create my Signalhandler for the alarm signal, do
 my calculations in the signalhandler and then start another alarm()?

        $SIG{ALRM} = {
                                           # do stuff
                                           alarm($timeout_2);
                               };
        alarm $timeout_1;

 And in case this works, is it a good and stable way to solve my problem?


 Almost certainly not. *If* it works for you it is relying on some
 features specific to your specific operating system and version, and
 is not portable, and probably not reliable. Unless have written all
 the modules yourself (which is unlikely, as you said this is involves
 catalyst), you also don't know everything else that is going on in
 your scope. Make sure you read the alarm and perlipc perldocs before
 attempting something like this, and pay special attention to both your
 OS and Perl version. You *may* not need eval, but it is almost
 certainly a good idea. Think of eval {} / if $@ as Perl's approach to
 the try/catch idiom of some other languages. You might also want to
 take a look at Exception::Base.

 We're still not certain what your problem is, though. That makes it
 difficult to give you specific advice. The purpose of an alarm or
 timeout is normally to interrupt the flow of the program and take some
 action when the time is up or if something doesn't happen in the
 allotted time.

 What you seem to be doing is setting up two independent execution
 paths: none of your psuedocode indicates that the alarm breaks into
 the main routine or that the execution paths rejoin. If that is really
 the case, what you probably really need to do is just spawn a child
 process with fork() or IPC::Open3 or similar.

 In any case, a real working (or not working as the case may be)
 example would go a long way toward helping us help you.


Due to some other restrictions I had to look for a different solution
and found one, namely to check if the time has expired when I am
accessing the data that has to be changed. Anyways, I dont want to let
this mail unanswered.

The actual problem is:
All the visitors have to be put in one of 4 groups. So for the first
10 minutes visitors go to group #1, next 10 minutes to group #2,
...when all 4 groups have been treated I want to calculate the new
online times of each group by looking at how many visitors are in
each one. If a group has very few visitors it gets a bigger share of
the next 40 minutes and so on.

What I am looking for now is a way to trigger this recalculation code
after the first 40 minutes. (I am not alternating groups after each
visitor for another reason)

*** at program start
my $timeslices = {
  1 = 10,
  2 = 10,
  3 = 10,
  4 = 10,
};

*** after 40 minutes, group 1 had the fewest visitors
my $timeslices = {
  1 = 5,
  2 = 10,
  3 = 10,
  4 = 15,
};
...and so on

do something after time expired

2009-11-30 Thread David Schmidt
Hello

I would like to execute some Code after a certain amount of time has
passed (then restart the timer but with a different time value)
I looked at IO::Async::Timer::Countdown but this timer only gets
started when used with a IO::Async::Loop.

Basically I am looking for something as simple as

my $do_it = { ... };
use MyTimer;
my timer = MyTimer-new($delay, $do_it);

and inside of $do_it I intend to start another timer.

is there any simple class that does what I want? I failed to find it.

thanks in advance

david

 Hi David,

 I'm not really clear on what you're trying to do, here: looking at
 IO::Async seems to indicate that you want your program to continue
 while waiting for the timer, but your sample code would seem to pause
 while the timer elapses. If you *don't* want to block for the timer,
 the normal idom would be:

    eval {
         local $SIG{ALRM} = { # usually dies };
         alarm $timeout;
         # do something here until timeout
         };
    if ($@) { #check $@ to make sure alarm died, not something else }


 Either way, you should be able to use the built-in functions to
 accomplish your task. See the docs for sleep(), alarm(), and select()
 for more info.


Hi Jay
Sorry for the bad explanation of my problem.

Yes my program has to continue while waiting for the timeout.
You code example doesn't work for me because my program is an entire
Catalyst application which I dont think is a good idea to put into an
eval block.

I would need the timer to run in the background and once it expires it
should execute the code.

 Fair enough, just looking at this Ubuntu pakage system, I see there is
 a liubaudio-file-perl

 Perl audio file abstraction library
 Audio::File abstracts a single audio file, independent of its format.
 Using this module you can access a files meta-info like title, album,
 etc. as well as the files audio-properties like its length and bitrate.


 Might be better to just install the prepackaged program?

 $count contains numeric value?

 $counting contains the format string for printf() and the first argument
 $clear is substituted for '%s' in $counting and the second argument ++$count
 is substituted for '%2d' in $counting.  They are substituted in the same

 Just curious, in programming in general, is it possible to do other things

 Is this possible in perl?
