Re: Perl and mouseover

Any ideas? It sounds like you want to use Perl as JavaScript. You can't do that. Either make you perl code output some JavaScript (which I know nothing about) in the document or add a 'title' attribute on the element, like eg.: a href=doc.html title=Popup descriptionlink text/a The title attribute works on most HTML tags, but not all browsers use them the same way.

No problem. It took me a while to find the correct operator as well. Please keep in mind that doing this breaks the de facto Unix standard for filters. A simply command which is a filter (e.g takes input from STDIN and sends output to STDOUT) is written without any consideration whether the input is a terminal, pipe, socket or otherwise. This makes it very simple to use the command in a pipeline or standalone from the terminal. [stuff cut out] Smoot, Strangely, I find that we almost always want our scripts to act this way. If any files or data is passed to the script, then it uses it. Otherwise, it prints usage instructions (since we'd rather not have man pages for scripts, and I don't know how to build them anyway). Use POD. See 'perldoc perlpod' for all the details. Then the user can just run 'perldoc scriptname' (provided 'scriptname' is in $PATH) and get a nicely formatted manpage.

Use something like: my $LoginName; my $TMPNow; Etc. Also, can someone offer an explanation of how = differs from = =?? I suppose you meant == instead of = =. = is an assignment. == is a comparison. I can recommend Learning Perl or one of the other nice beginners books, you wouldn't get into these things then.

This is a ssh problem. ssh is not set up to use public key
authentication for this user which seems to be some non-priviledged
daemon account.
To use public key athentication the user needs a real homedir with a
~/.ssh dir containing the file authorized_keys. Then it'll work.
This is OT for this list, I'll send you a more elaborate personal reply
in a short while.

Hello List:
What is the command structure to grab an uptime request from a remote
computer? I have several systems in my organization that I would like to
grab the uptime for, then post them to a dynamic web page. The web page
I've already got done, I just need the command structure for grabbing
the uptime. Help in grabbing uptime from a Win32 box would be helpful as
well. I'm trying to grab data from a group of FreeBSD boxes, and a
singular Win2K box. Any suggestions?
I can't help you with Win2K, but the FreeBSD boxen are easy. I tried this
thing:
script begin
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my %machines = (
firewall = 'admin',
samba = 'operator',
web = 'bofh',
);
foreach my $host (sort keys %machines) {
print $host . ':' . `ssh -l $machines{$host} $host uptime`;
}
script end
Example Output:
firewall: 3:47AM up 18 days, 10:44, 0 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
samba: 2:46AM up 38 days, 2:05, 6 users, load averages: 0.20, 0.17, 0.17
web: 3:47AM up 1 day, 9:14, 2 users, load averages: 0.14, 0.15, 0.17
Names changed to protect the guilty, but it's tested, and it Works For
Me[TM].
Caveat:
You need to have your ssh setup to use public key auth, and have a
ssh-agent(1) running on the machine your running the script on. This is
a minor thing, as you should have this already. :)
Possible solution for a Win2K box:
Install Cygwin on it, and run an sshd on it, then it'll look just like
the BSD machines scripting wise. I haven't tried this as I have no
Microsoft OS'en with me ATM.
Have a nice day

Could you suggest me where to have a free account to run CGI (better can use most of standard modules with Perl too) ? Most web-hosting companies will let you run cgi scripts at your site, but with what version of Perl, and with which modules is beyond your control. They usually won't give you a shell, so it's quite slow and annoying to work with. If I were you I'd install BSD or Linux on a spare machine and use it for development. You can also install it in VMWare on your normal workstation, but that takes a pretty hefty machine, and VMWare isn't cheap at all.
