cannot import certains modules when running perl scripts from Java on Windows
Dear perl users, I'm having difficulties running perl scripts from java which import certain modules like File::Tail and File::Sort. I initially installed ActiveState Perl but then did a full Cygwin installation (which includes compilers, interpreters, etc of most popular programming languages). After doing that I installed the extra modules I needed with CPAN, using this command line: perl -MCPAN -e 'install File::Sort' All the modules have been installed successfully and work fine when I run my scripts from Cygwin, but when I invoke them from Java code they don't work. After a puzzling my brains for I while I discovered the source of the problem. Can anyone shed some light on this please? Is it because I have both ActivePerl and Cygwin perl installed? thanks in advance, Tom -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/

Running perl scripts on remote machine
Hi All, I have a team of 4 people, and have some perl scripts written to make our life easy J Now if my team mates want to run the scripts, then they have to install perl on their machine (also the modules required for the scripts), then download perl scripts on their machine and then run those to get job done. Can I install perl on a common machine and keep all of our scripts there? Then can any team mate run those scripts remotely on that machine? Or is there any other way to handle this situation? Thanks, Paryushan

PSPad and running Perl Scripts
Hello: To run Perl CGI Programs, select Program Settings from the Settings Menu. Then select Web Server. Under Server place: localhost\cgi-bin . Under Document Root place C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin or whatever is the path to your cgi-bin directory. Fire up your Web Server and press F12, this runs the Script in IE. To run in another browser, such as Firefox, go to the Highlighter Settings in the Settings menu and select Perl and external apps and enterC:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe %PHPFile% . This will allow you to press F9 to open the Script in Firefox. Regards, Paul Brasseur (Victoria, B.C.

Running Perl Scripts Via A Web Page
Hi All, Can someone please recommend a book for me. I do some web administration w/ perl scripts.

RE: Running Perl Scripts Via A Web Page
O'Reilly is your friend (IMHO). You need a good HTML book, and Musciano is its author. You need the Camel book (Learning Perl, Schwartz et al), and probably the Llama book (Programming Perl, Wall et al). I'm happy with them all. I haven't yet found a definitive Apache/CGI book, but you will need one! I usually take an afternoon to go to my local decent book shop (here, Barnes Noble in State College PA), and just plain browse... And ordering them online will probably save a few bucks too.

RE: Running Perl Scripts Via A Web Page
G'day... Can someone please recommend a book for me. I do some web administration w/ perl scripts. I would like to create a web page w/ drop down menus... and depending on the selection criteria, run that script. I searched on Google a little, but not really sure what I'm looking for. :~) The main module that you need to know about is CGI (it seems like the defacto module everyone uses - and for good reason), and I personally also use CGI::Untaint (for reading in form data). Take a look at the package on CPAN - go to http://search.cpan.org/ and search for CGI - read the documentation. (Sorry, this may seem like the long way around, but reading it for the purpose of something you're working on may help.) I've also read the ORA book on this subject, but I don't know if I'd recommend it that highly - you may wish to check it out for yourself before purchasing it. It also sound like some of what your doing may require client-side processing rather than server-side processing i.e. using JavaScript. (I could be wrong on this though.) It's what you want if you want to modify the appearance of a web page whilst a user is viewing it. Anyway, check out CGI and CGI::Untaint - now I'm wondering what others on this list would recommend regarding CGI::Untaint(?). :) All the best! Regards, Michael S. E.

Hi all, I am runing a windows 2000 server and I have just installed perl that I got from ActiveState.com.

Re: running perl scripts on Windows
Anadi,
Thanks, but not really...
The
#!D:\Perl|bin\perl -w
is ignored in windows - the key is the file association ( the My Computer,
View, Options stuff). Once windows knows which program is supposed to open a
particular file extension it should be off on running, but I had you put the
#!D:... inplace
because some of the web servers (Apache for one) do use it to determine how
to run a script.
Now let talk 'bout HTML. I don't 'know' HTML but I can fake it with the Perl
CGI module. There are many examples available on the web.
I am not familar with the % % syntax (Mason or mod_perl perhaps??), The
next hurdle for you is probably configuring the web server. Once you can run
a cgi script on your server, hit the web examples and the CGI module.
Have Fun

Subject: RE: running perl scripts on Windows
Hi David,
I have found the 'File Types' and the path was already set to:
D:\perl\bin\perl.exe %1 %*
but this command line doesn't work:
perl -e 'printIt worked\n;'
I get the same 'perl is not recognised as an internal or external command
.'
Any ideas
Cheers
Anadi
Anadi,
Let's tackle the command line issue first.
go to :
My Computer
View
Options
File Types
Find Perl, .pl extension in list
(if you cannot find a perl extension {.pl} you need to make a file
association, but activestate's installer should have done this for
you)
Edit the file type
Edit the 'Open' action
Add (after C:\perl\bin\perl.exe)
%1 %*
so you have:
C:\perl\bin\perl.exe %1 %*
This will allow command line parameters to be passed to your perl
scripts.
Open a dos window and try:
perl -e '
printIt worked\n;'
Let me know how you make out
-David

Subject: running perl scripts on Windows
Hi all,
I am runing a windows 2000 server and I have just installed perl that
I
got
from ActiveState.com. I have been playing and have come up against a
few
problems.
1) It seems that writing perl scripts with embedded HTML is more like
writing 'Microsoft Active Server Pages' in Perl, using % and % to
embed
the perl script. These scripts are then saved as .asp files. This is
not
what I am used to, is there any way I can write my usual perlscripts
(without using % and %) and save them as .pl, and then run that
script
on
my Windows 200 server ?
2) The second problem I am up against is: It says in the setup
procedure
(at
www.activestate.com) that I should be able to run perl scripts from
my
command prompt ? I dont seem to be able to do this.
Has any one any advise they can share Any help would be much
appreciated as I am now past the 'Pulling my hair out' stage ;-(
Thanks for all your help
Anadi

Re: running perl scripts on Windows
Tim, Thanks a lot for this.. Thanks to you and a few others on this list I now have Perl running properly on my server !!! Well - guess I can kiss the Summer goodbye .. ha ha ;-) Thanks again Anadi Not sure what happened, every time I have installed, ActiveState updated the path. When you installed, did you have admin rights? Anyway, what you want to do is right click 'My Computer', the pick 'Properties'. On the System Properties pop up, go to the 'Advanced' tab and pick the 'Environment Variables' button. In the 'System Variables' section edit the Path variable and add Perl. Mine looks something like this == D:\Perl\bin\;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT; 8---snipped I would also suggest editing or adding the PATHEXT variable to include .pl (again, mine looks like this .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.pl;8---snipped You will need admin rights to do this. Now you should be able to type perl -v at a cmd prompt and get a good response. Also, you should be able to type 'hello' in the dir you have hello.pl hello.pl #!perl -w use strict; print hello world\n; /hello.pl _ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: running perl scripts on Windows
And of course, if you want the perl scripts to just run without invoking the interpreter directly, you can associate all .pl files with perl.exe. This is done automatically with the ActivePerl MSI install. Additionally, you can add .pl to your PATHEXT environment variable so that you can invoke your scripts without necessarily using the extension (although the extension still needs to be there for the file to work) -Original Message- From: Shawn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 2:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: running perl scripts on Windows On Win2K, from the command line, the she-bang means absolutely nothing.

Re: Running Perl Scripts
Do this:
1. Open up a terminal session
2. Type which perl or to get the location of the Perl interpreter
3. On the very first line of your Perl program, insert the location of the
Perl interpreter as determined in 2.
In my case, this what I got:
momoni:/home/william/bin/PERL_CGI(4)% which perl
/opt/local/bin/perl - my system's response
So my all my Perl programs begin as follows:
#!/opt/local/bin/perl
4. You must then make the file executable. In this case, depending on who
else will be using
the file, the permission setting will vary. In most cases, this will be
enough:
chmod 750 {the name of your Perl program}
E.g.: chmod 750 foo.pl
5. If the location of your Perl program is in your PATH variable (echo
$PATH), you can run the
program by simply entering the name of the program.
That is:
foo.pl
If not, and your PATH variable does not include ./ (current directory),
since most workshops
do not allow the inclusion of ./ in the PATH variable (for security
reasons). Then you have
to enter ./ before the name of your program.
That is:
../foo.pl
Hope this helps.

It depends on what errors you want to check for.

If you want to actually run it, but just not see any output (for example, if your script is supposed to create a file and you want to be able to see the file created), you can redirect output to /dev/null in a form similar to: perl scriptname.pl /dev/null Of course, remember that when you run the script from the command line, it will have your userid and your privledges. When it is run from the web server, it will have the web server's userid and privledges (which is usually different from your own). -spp -- Stephen P Potter [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can't just magically invoke Larry and expect that to prove your point.
