File opening problem
Hi all!
i'm running the following dummy program which just opens a file and I get an
error (die message)
#!/usr/bin/perl
if ( @ARGV[0] eq '' )
{
print "\nUSAGE:\n\t genenames.pl genes.txt \n\n";
exit;
}
my $file = $ARGV[0];
open(FICH,"$file") or die "cannot open $file";
I've tried to pass the input parameter ARGV[0] with / with \ with relative
path ... but nothing
any idea?
Thanks a lot!

delete from java temporary file generated from PERL
Hi all! From my Java application I call a PERL process which generates some files. When I come back to the Java part and I process these files I try to delete them and some of them are deleted correctly but other not... Any idea? I've checked that I call CLOSE methods everytime I create a file in PERL Hint: I've noticed that big files are deleted correctlty perhaps because I spend more time processing them before trying to delete them ...

This is a system issue, not a Perl issue, which is why you didn't get a response the first time. The problem here is that your system can't, apparently, handle the type or volume of traffic your program is generating, possibly thousands or requests per second. If you are having network problems, consult the documentation for your system's networking stack. You may be running into some sort of hard limit in your system configuration, or you may just be running out of hardware resources. Most likely you've hit the maximum number of TCP/IP connections you can open simultaneously, or run out of memory for the stack or one of the various networking buffers. It's also possible that the volume of incoming traffic is interfering with the reception of syn/ack packets from hosts you're trying to contact. Googling "network tuning ," "traffic shaping , "packet prioritization " and "QoS " should turn up some useful information.

Are you using the domain name or the ip address in link (e.g.
http://www.google.com/ or http://1.2.3.4)? If you are using the first,
perl will first contact your DNS server or cache, and then connect and
retrieve the contents you want. If you are not using a DNS cache, you
can build it using Net::DNS and Memoize for caching.
Check the example:
#!env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Benchmark::Timer;
use Carp;
use Memoize;
use Net::DNS;
# used by get_ip_from_hostname
my $resolver = Net::DNS::Resolver->new;
sub get_ip_from_hostname {
my ($hostname) = @_;
my $query = $resolver->search($hostname);
if ($query) {
foreach my $rr ( $query->answer ) {
next unless $rr->type eq 'A';
return $rr->address;
}
}
else {
croak "Query failed: ", $resolver->errorstring;
}
}
my $t = Benchmark::Timer->new();
for ( 1 .. 1000 ) {
$t->start('get_ip_from_hostname without memoize');
my $ip = get_ip_from_hostname("www.google.com");
$t->stop('get_ip_from_hostname without memoize');
}
print $t->report();
$t->reset();
memoize('get_ip_from_hostname');
for ( 1 .. 1000 ) {
$t->start('get_ip_from_hostname memoize');
my $ip = get_ip_from_hostname("www.google.com");
$t->stop('get_ip_from_hostname memoize');
}
print $t->report();

I can't see the point you are using Java for that. If your code with
WWW::Mechanize is already working, why don't you do everything in
Perl?
I would do this:
1. Read all links you want to open, it is ok to store it on a single
file IMHO. You can use Tie::File to append lines, it can make your
life easier.
open my $links_file, ">", $filename or die $!;
while (my $link = my_mechanize_get_link()) {
print {$links_file} $link, "\n";
}
close $links_file or warn $!;
2. After that, you can read from that tied array, from beginning to
end and use LWP::UserAgent or LWP::Simple to retrieve the data you
want to store:
use LWP::Simple;
sub filename_from_url {
# your code here. logic to compose the filename
# from url.
}
open my $input, "<", $filename or die $!;
while (my $url = <$input>) {
chomp($url);
my $content = get($url);
if ($content) {
open my $output, ">", filename_from_url($url) or die $!;
print {$output} $content;
close $output or warn $!;
}
}

Hi Tatiana Do you really mean "CPU performance problems"? If you're downloading a lot from the Internet then your problem is more likely to be limited by the speed of the network, in which case you need to look at what you're downloading and see if you can get the information you require without moving as much extraneous data. Can you anticipate the URLs you need to access instead of following links from other pages, for instance? If your process is indeed CPU-bound then it is most liley to be an error in your coding, which we would need to see before we could help. HTH, Rob

content everything seems to be allright , Next 25 records button exists in
the html but .. it fails when passing from page 2 to page 3
while($test eq 0){
#$content=$browser2->submit_form("DBSELECT");
print "justo antes de fallar";
$browser2->click_button( value => "Next 25 records");
print "justo despues de 25 next";
$content = $browser2->content();
@html = split ("\n",$content);

}

}

You need to track down the origin of
$browser2->click_button( value =>"Next 25 records");
At the start of your program there should be some use statements, like
'use strict;'
What other use statements are there?
Then you will need to look a little further down the program and maybe
find something like
$browser2 = new->browser(some args perhaps);
So have you got anything like that?

Fwd: click_button gives error on a existing button
Thanks Owen, but in this case, inspecting the html page i see that the button hasn't got NAME attribute but only VALUE that's why i've used value command. The strange thing is that to pass from page 1 to page 2 it works but to pass from page 2 to page 3 it fails ... although the code is the same and the button exists! A real X file ... T.
