Re: Is there an alternative to #!/usr/bin/perl
Perhaps people understand this already, but I wanted to state it, because I haven't heard it specifically said. (Redundancy is good in a learning environment) The point is that, if you do not know where Perl is located, you likely cannot run the script without finding Perl. For this reason, your "Perl-finding mission" is going to have to take place outside of your script. No amount of anything you put in that script is going to do anything if you cannot find Perl. Otherwise, you have code that needs to find Perl so it can run the code that needs to find Perl so it can run the code that needs to find Perl so it can... etc. On a Win box with ActivePerl, however, the system will simply see that the file has the correct extension and run it, ignoring the sh'bang as a comment. Though, this is probably not your situation. Stephen Neu Internet Development Characterlink.net (630) 323-9800 ext. 235
Re: Location.
: Kind of off topic but, is anyone in this list located : in NYC? Let's try to send responses to this directly to RS, and not to the list. Thanx, my inbox appreciates it! :-) Stephen Neu Internet Development Characterlink.net (630) 323-9800 ext. 235
Re: foo bar?
For more information about words like "foo" and "bar"... you can consult "the Jargon File", found in several spots on the web. Here's one of its locations... http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/ Stephen Neu Internet Development Characterlink.net (630) 323-9800 ext. 235
Use of filters.................??
To Gary: Can you not filter by the "To:" header? That's what I do. As far as I know, it is always set to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Correct me if I am wrong. To the owner of the list: Is there some disadvantage or problem with having the "Reply-to" header set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]? As I say earlier, if there is something I am missing, due to my relative ignorance on the subject, please correct me. Stephen Neu Internet Development Characterlink.net (630) 323-9800 ext. 235

Re: Skipped lines
I was thinking CTRL-C would exit the program prematurely without printing anything but I didn't try it, so I am probably wrong.
Re: Outputting content to the web
Mr. Owens, I find that the best way to write CGI scripts is to write them and run them on the command line. Then, when I know that they run without errors, I put them on my web server. If you do this, you can also specify... #!/usr/bin/perl -w (with the -w on the end) to get more information. This will assure you that your problem is not in your script, but somewhere else. Also, are you running a web server on your computer? Your statement, "...providing the full path to it in the address bar of my browser..." makes me think you are not. Otherwise you would say something like "http://localhost/directory/script.pl"; (on a windows box, anyway). Also, I believe you might find the CGI:Carp module interesting.

Billy, I do a lot of Perl on an NT box that eventually gets used in both NT and Debian. It was pretty frustrating at first, experiencing your problem. A nice little one-liner that I use after taking a script from NT to a linux system is: perl -w -i -p -e "s/\x0d//g" filename Stephen Neu Internet Development Characterlink.net (630) 323-9800 ext. 235 "What is so difficult for developers to accept sometimes is that there already is a standard, and they didn't write it." --Steve Neu

Re: Passing data arguments via command line
> perl myscript.pl "data1" "data2 "data3" > > (a) is it possible to pass data arguments via the command line in this way? Yes, indeed. Anything that is passed to your program in this way will be stored in the array, @ARGV. You can access the first argument with $ARGV[0], the second with $ARGV[1], and so on. > (b) inside the script I want to assign them to variables -- but how do I > reference them? Do they count as being on STDIN or something? You can assign them at the beginning of your script usign the following: my @theArguments = @ARGV #all of them in an array -or- my ($username, $password, $logfile, $filename) = @ARGV # Expect 4 arguments # Ignore the rest for now
