Re: perl interpreter
not strictly true, you can use activestates perl2exe or whatever its called now to embed the interpreter into the script and make it an exe... file size is at least 300 - 400k but it will do what you ask :) remember, this is NOT machine compiled perl, its just fusing the two into one. - Original Message - From: "Sascha Kersken" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Matthias Staudinger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2001 1:20 PM Subject: Re: perl interpreter > Hi! > > You just CAN'T. > What you have to do is install a Perl interpreter on each computer you want > to run Perl scripts on. > The best - and most easily to install - distribution for Windows systems is > ActivePerl which can be downloaded at www.activestate.com > > Sascha > > -- > >Von: Matthias Staudinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >An: "perl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Betreff: perl interpreter > >Datum: Mit, 1.

Re: Making a perl script a stand-alone executable
for unix try perlcc that comes with perl.. still very experimantal, for windows you can buy perl2exe or get the active state pack that has a perl "compiler". be wared... ill it does is include the parser within the script and compile it. Your file size will be at least 500k+. perlcc is experimental and it looks for your code to see the librarys used and only compile those.

It is possible to install sendmail on windows, you could consider that.
Other then that, i have no major experience with smtp on win 9x :) use
windows 2000? There is an smtp part of it.

Re: Is there an alternative to CGI ???
ASP is a structure, not to dissimilar to PHP... whats there to hate about either? They both do the job, and get rid of the chores with ease (GET,POST,COOKIEs). Whats so hard about wrapping your code around <% %> or Personaly, i like ASP for the fact you can do <%=$var%> instead of php's VBASP sucks JSASP is a good standard alternative if stuck on IIS PerlScript ASP on IIS is very slow Apache::ASP (apache mod_perl and the asp structure fused together in servlets, with the option of Apache::DBI to retain a connection to a database (remember to up your max connections to account for idle servers) is the fast parsed, embedded language with persistant SQL on the planet to date).

Re: Is there an alternative to CGI ???
Guys, we all know what he was trying to say, lets not pick on him for how he phrased it, after all, this is a beginners mailing list!!! We have defined what CGI is to perl time and time again. Now lets give him a straight answer without all the attitude. Is there an alternative to CGI, in a word, no. However i know what your saying, and as i said in my email. Your alternative are things like Apache::ASP Memory, there is no way to get round... You can't expect something from nothing. Stick more ram in an reap the benefits!

Re: Is there an alternative to CGI ???
Apache::ASP might interest you, however, your'll still have your memory problem as Mod_Perl stores within memory the servlet. Mod_perl is infamous for using large amounts of ram, but hey, thats a GOOD thing in my book. Better RAM then CPU/HDD Machine code is still faster and less resource intensive, however production time will grow like you've never seen before. We still use C++ for the backend for BA.com. In my opinion you don't need this speed unless you get millions of hits a month/day to a database driven system, and even then, your hardware (RAID) needs to bee fast to keep up with the demand. PHP uses less resources and is arguably quicker at this point in time. It is designed for one job only, the web. JSP is way to slow and its only plus is the wealth of JAVA developers out there. If you want power, modular support, speed, Mod_perl, and inparticular, Apache::ASP is the current leader in my eyes.

Fork (not the kind you eat with)
The one thing in perl that gets my head all confused is fork. Can someone point me in the right direction (be it book, website, or kind enough to offer code). I need to make a script that has to check 16000 servers in around 6 minutes. My rough maths works out that 44 checks a second are needed. Each server check takes about 0.5 seconds to return, so the best bet is to fork each individual check, the result of which gets added to mysql so no need to have a conversation going on between child and parent. Idealy i would like to control the max amount children i have to, say, around 50. Any help would be greatful. (I have the cook book open but only seems to talk about a single parent child pair..?!)

Greetings all - I realize this is a very broad question, however any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm looking to purchase good learning tools about programming in PERL. I've been programming with it for several years, but I've never truly learned the basics - just looked at other code and learned from that. Specifically I'd like to learn from "ground zero" about variables, hashes, etc. as well as MySQL connectivity. I'd like to find something that is concise - I have several projects that I'll be working on in the very near future, and fine-tuning my knowledge would be of great benefit. Again, any suggestions will be appreciated.
