Hi

[John Somoza]

I have a general perl question.

I'm on OSX running a program from the command line. That program asks a
series of questions, which I interactively answer.

I would like to use perl to run the program (this part is not the problem)
and answer the questions (this is the part I need help with). I have seen
this type of thing done with a shell script (I think you can use the ECHO
command in the bourne shell) but how would I do this in perl?

Thanks,

John

HI

[Jyoti]

Hello,

Can anyone help me to explain how to call subroutines.
Also if possible, explain with example for running blast searches.

Many Thanks.

Hi 

I want to retreive from postgres database by removing the dos characters and 
the spaces from a perl file. It is like in the DB side there is  " " and dos 
charcters in the table itself. So when I am doing a select query as it is 
checking in the table, the correct match is not obtained. I have TRIED after 
removing in the PERL side with substitution and all and confirmed this . Please 
give me some tips as what function I can use in the query to remove the space 
as well as DOS characters 

thanks

Hi

[Mark Schouten]

Hi,

I'm a complete newbie, so have some patience. :)

Im walking through the book 'Learning Perl' by O'Reilly and I'm allready
in a small problem.

I'm trying to compile the following:


#!/usr/bin/perl -w
## cgi-bin/ice_cream: program to answer and generate ice cream
## order form (version 4)
use strict; # enforce variable declarations and quoting
use CGI qw(:standard);

print header, start_html("Ice Cream Stand"), h1("Ice Cream Stand");
if (param()) { # the form has already been filled out
  my $who = param("name");
  my $flavor = param("flavor");
  my $scoops = param("scoops");
  my $taxrate = 1.0743;
  my $cost = sprintf("%.2f", $taxrate * (1.00 + $scoops * 0.25));
  print p("Ok, $who, have $scoops scoops of $flavor for \$$cost.");
} else { # first time through, so present clean form
  print hr(); # draw a horizontal rule before the form
  print start_form();
  print p("What's your name? ", textfield("name"));
  # FOR EXPLANATION OF FOLLOWING TWO LINES, SEE NEXT SECTION
  print p("What flavor: ", popup_menu("flavor",
['mint','cherry','mocha']));
  print p("How many scoops? ", popup_menu("scoops", [ 1..3 ]));

##Problem started here

  %flavors = (
mint=> "Mighty Mint",
chocolate   => "Cherished Chocolate",
cherry  => "Cheery Cherry",
vanilla => "Very Vanilla",
peach   => "Perfectly Peachy",
  );
  print scrolling_list(
-NAME   => "flavors",
-LABELS => \%flavors,
-VALUES => [ keys %flavors ],
-SIZE   => 3,
-MULTIPLE   => 0, # 1 for true, 0 for false
  );

##End of problem

  print p(submit("order"), reset("clear"));
  print end_form(), hr();
}
print end_html;

(Indeed, it is the example program. :))

It all worked fine untill I pasted the ## Problem part ##. In my logs I
see the following message:


Global symbol "%flavors" requires explicit package name at dhcptest.cgi
line 22.
Global symbol "%flavors" requires explicit package name at dhcptest.cgi
line 31.
Global symbol "%flavors" requires explicit package name at dhcptest.cgi
line 32.


Can some explain to me what that means and how to fix it? :)

Thanks,

Mark

hi..

[Ajey Kulkarni]

happy new year to all,..
i've a qn.,:)
i want to 'insert' an escape character for every '[' & ']' 
i will find in a variable..
Suppose $temp has a word which might contain [ and/or ].

the modified temp should have hello\]

if $value  has [hello] i want the result to be \[hello\]. 

Is there a quick one line regex to do this?
i'm able to match the presence of [ & ]
if( (/\[/)|(/\]/) ){
 my $value = $_;
 $value =~ s/\[/\\\[/;
 $value =~ s/\]/\\\]/;
 print $value;

Hi.

[Tyler Cruickshank]

Hi.

I am working with a hash of arrays.  Ive run into some confusion regarding the 
accessing and printing of the hash.  Below are some excerpts of my code:  I have an 
array (@data) that I will create in a nested for loop.  I fully populate the array and 
then assign it to a hash, I then go back and populate a fresh array and then assign it 
to the hash.   Each fresh array will be called the same name, @data, however it is 
assigned to the hash via a unique key (which in this case is $name).  Now, when I want 
to print the hash (as below) the following works - print " $name = @{ $browns{$name} 
}\n"; but I have found (in other code) that - print " $name = @{ $browns{'data.hr3'} 
}\n"; works inconsistently.  What is the proper way to do this - especially if I want 
a specific array within the hash?

%browns = ();

for($i=1; $i<=3; $i++){

   $hour = "hr$i";
   $root = 'data.';
   $name = "$root$hour";

   $browns{$name} = [ @data ];
   }


print "   $browns{$name}[1]   \n";
print " $name = @{ $browns{'data.hr3'} }\n"; 
print " $name = @{ $browns{$name} }\n";


Thanks.  - Tyler Cruickshank

That may mean, you passed wrong arguments to the method in a class.
The method expects a hash, should have even number of elements.

Maybe you got wrong in other location.
This statement has no problem for me:

# perl -MCGI -e '$q=CGI->new;print $q->header("text/html")'
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

Unlikely, unless you are a bit more specific about what you are trying to do.

And even then, it's hard to help you to improve your code if you don't show
it.

There is a pm called Math::Combinatorics (
http://search.cpan.org/~allenday/Math-Combinatorics-0.09/lib/Math/Combinatorics.pm
)

It is really helpful to get the combinations without repetition. Then you
just need to process the results to get the output you need, I mean with the
"," and "-".

I hope this can help you.

"stop perl emails"?

Taking a guess that you mean you want to unsubscribe from this mailing
list, each post from the list contains the following header:

List-Unsubscribe: 

Drop a blank email to that email address, and it should do the trick.

Re: Hi

[Kristin Nielsen]

Lou -

Klamerus' frustration is not completely unwarranted. I answered that question 
in my reply to the list - did you read it? If not, there are three steps to 
take - fewer if you are successful.

1. Start an email from the account with which you subscribed to the list. You 
MUST send your unsubscribe request from the email address by which list mail is 
being rec'd.
2. Send a simple blank email from the account mentioned in step #1 to 
beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org
3. If you are not unsubscribed, please add in your requests for further help 
(as simply saying "it doesn't work" does not help people troubleshoot, as we 
all know too well):
a. the email - including headers - that you sent to 
beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org
b. any replies you may have rec'd from the list server, especially if 
they contain denials or errors.

There you go.

I am, &c.,

Kristin

P. S. I take quite to heart the belittling attitude found on so many tech 
lists. Bad attitude doesn't work from either direction, and yes, delivery 
matters. This is supposed to be a cooperative educational community, is it not? 
Sure, we should all RTFM, but some of us who have been forced to 
learn-or-get-laid-off simply lack the formal training to know which term to use 
in our search, or even to know which PERLDOC to read, have been shamed into 
silence by cruel responses.  I am far beyond that now, but I remember it well. 
Furthermore, this list contains quite a few for whom English is not a first 
language. I am grateful to everyone here for being on the list and helping 
those who come to it for assistance. We all get frustrated with simplistic or 
repetitive questions, and people who don't even try should be told to try 
first, but very little besides a bully's ego is helped by mean replies. No?

Thanks again, all of you, really.

final message saying good-bye.

Sometimes the address can be tricky - the FAQ
http://learn.perl.org/faq/beginners.html
says:
Send mail to , and wait for a response.
Once you reply to the response, you'll be unsubscribed. If that doesn't
work, find the email address which you are subscribed from and send an
email like the following (let's assume your email is f...@bar.com):

Yes but if you don't send the confirmation back, you don't get
unsubscribed.

RE: Hi

[Lou Pereira]

For the past year I have exhausted all options of e-mail format to opt out,
including your recommendations to no avail.   I must say that over 10 years
I have been involved with different e-mail lists and tech groups, but never
had such as poor service as this group.  Any other ideas would be
appreciated?

Lou -

Klamerus' frustration is not completely unwarranted. I answered that
question in my reply to the list - did you read it? If not, there are three
steps to take - fewer if you are successful.

1. Start an email from the account with which you subscribed to the list.
You MUST send your unsubscribe request from the email address by which list
mail is being rec'd.
2. Send a simple blank email from the account mentioned in step #1 to
beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org 3. If you are not unsubscribed, please add in
your requests for further help (as simply saying "it doesn't work" does not
help people troubleshoot, as we all know too well):
a. the email - including headers - that you sent to
beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org
b. any replies you may have rec'd from the list server, especially
if they contain denials or errors.

There you go.

I am, &c.,

Kristin

P. S. I take quite to heart the belittling attitude found on so many tech
lists. Bad attitude doesn't work from either direction, and yes, delivery
matters. This is supposed to be a cooperative educational community, is it
not? Sure, we should all RTFM, but some of us who have been forced to
learn-or-get-laid-off simply lack the formal training to know which term to
use in our search, or even to know which PERLDOC to read, have been shamed
into silence by cruel responses.  I am far beyond that now, but I remember
it well. Furthermore, this list contains quite a few for whom English is not
a first language. I am grateful to everyone here for being on the list and
helping those who come to it for assistance. We all get frustrated with
simplistic or repetitive questions, and people who don't even try should be
told to try first, but very little besides a bully's ego is helped by mean
replies. No?

Thanks again, all of you, really.

You might want to make sure you're sending your email in plain text. 

Check your settings, if you're using "Rich Text" or "HTML" to format the email 
it might screw the pooch for you. That's a real old problem, but this might be 
real old software running this list.

Also, I found this on the faq page for this list:

Who owns this list? Who do I complain to?
John SJ Anderson owns the beginners list. You can contact him at 
geneh...@genehack.org.

http://learn.perl.org/faq/beginners.html#owner

Hopefully contacting them will help. If not, let us all know and I'll try and 
help you track down a solution to the problem.

Kindest Regards,

Bill Stephenson

I'm not entirely sure I understood your question, but most
likely you're looking for a "pipe open", i.e.

if( open( OUT, '|/some/command' ) ){
print OUT "text is send to command";
} else {
  die "open failed: $!"
}

This is a complicated subject that is best explained by the
perlipc and perlopen manual pages.

Let me try to reword it.

Do you have a Perl script that prints something to stdout and you  
want to redirect that output to some archive on disk instead of the  
console? If that's a right interpretation, do you want to do it from  
within the script or from the shell prompt?

RE: hi

[Timothy Johnson]

You need to declare each variable (scalar, array, or hash) with my
before you use them.  This lets Perl know what scope they should have.

Example:

my @shrimp;

foreach(@shrimp){
   my $prawn = 1;
   do something...
}

As in \x0Am.  As in, "return" followed by "m".

That's what "\rm" means.

Declare your variables in the smallest scope possible.
Read http://perl.plover.com/FAQs/Namespaces.html

my @shrimp = ;

Since you are probably finished with the file now, it is a
good time to close it.

my @shrimp = ;
close COO;

Without knowing more about your data, I would probably chomp
the line endings too.

chomp( my @shrimp =  );
close COO;

The list or array goes in parenthesis.

foreach ( @shrimp ) {

Or, more likely:

foreach ( @shrimp ) {
my $squid = substr( $_, 0, 4 );
my $shark = "$_.pdb";


: Global symbol "$to" requires explicit package name at
: ./pdbReadbrk2000.pl line 21.

This error did not originate from the given code. This happens
a lot when you are trying to debug and write a message at the same
time. Get a good programmer's editor. It will allow you to quickly
test code and cut and paste errors just before you post it to the

Add the following to the top of your script. It will give you
more detailed error messages.

Re: hi

[Suvajit Sengupta]

Hi,
Can you post the whole script. Possibly you have declared 'use strict' 
in your code or it has been set default.
The problem is that the compiler is demanding explicit declaration of 
the variables that you have used.

declaring @shrimp as :
my @shrimp = ;
and
foreach my $tuna (@shrimp)
{
   squid=substr($tuna,0,4);
   ...and so on
}

will eliminate the error.

Regards,
Suvajit

RE: hi

[Timothy Johnson]

Please respond to the list.  I'm not always available to answer
questions.

Now for your questions, loosely numbered:

1,3) You probably either included "use strict" or perhaps included some
other code that used strict.  That enforces the requirement to lexically
scope your variables, among other things.  

2) Lexically scoping your variables does not affect your ability to use
your variables at all.  It just means that they automatically get
created at the 'my' statement and destroyed at the end of the code
block.  If you do need a variable to exist throughout the entire script,
you can declare it at the top of your script or use 'our' instead of
'my'.

And finally, the question you didn't ask, but I'll answer anyway. I
would seriously recommend adding 'use strict' and 'use warnings' in all
of your scripts.  It can be a real pain at first when you're not used to
using it, but it can save you a lot of time in the long run.  Keep an
eye on the list and you can get a lot of good examples.  This question
comes up a lot with people who are self-taught.  I had to go back and
learn to use strict after coding for about a year, and I really wish I
had started sooner.




A few examples of how adding 'use strict' can possibly save you time:


1.  You're looping through an array, using a variable inside the loop.
Something fails and the variable doesn't get updated.  You don't realize
until hours later that all of your output is worthless because half of
the loops were just repeating the same value as the loop before it.

By declaring the variable using 'my' inside the loop, you can avoid this
because the variable will be automatically reinitialized each time.


2.  You can't figure out why your program isn't generating the expected
output.  You spend an hour putting debug statements throughout your
script, only to find that you misspelled the name of the variable in
your print statement.  Perl was happy to oblige you by creating a new,
empty variable with that name and printing it for you.

By adding 'use strict' to the top of your script, you can avoid this
because Perl will complain about the variable not being declared.


Check out 'perldoc strict' for more detailed info.

Programming Language


Whether or not you do choose to use a book or not, remember: always
try doing some excersizes. You *cannot* just read, you have to try it
firsthand. This is as simple as writing your first program that just
prints out ``Hello World'' to testing out the ugliest regular
expressions (you will eventually learn what these are). Remember, you
are just learning, and so you are free to experiment.

Good Luck!

Won't a two-liner do? You've already written it if so, except
that square brackets in the replacement string don't need
escaping; a one-liner is possible but much less efficient. Also
you don't need the 'if'. Does the code below help? I've also
changed the s/// delimiters to brackets to avoid the mess that
the slashes and backslashes make.

  my $value = '[hello]';

  for ($value) {
s(\[)(\\[)g;
s(\])(\\])g;
  }

  print $value, "\n";

**OUTPUT

  \[hello\]

Alternatively, if it's OK to escape all non-alphanumeric characters
then 'quotemeta' is what you want.

  my $value = '[hello]';
  $value = quotemeta $value;
  print $value, "\n";

**OUTPUT

  \[hello\]


Cheers,

Rob

A one-liner is not necessarily better. You might want
to test. The substitution operator has a pattern on the
left side and a replacement string on the other. According
to 'perlop' it takes this form:

  s/PATTERN/REPLACEMENT/egimosx


Let's take a look at your phrase:

s/\[/\\\[/


The PATTERN is '\[' and the REPLACEMENT is "\\\[". I
put the REPLACEMENT in double quotes because that is how
it is most commonly interpolated. To print '\[' we need
"\\[" on the REPLACEMENT side.


The PATTERN side views '[', and ']' as special
characters. So we need to escape them or we need to use
some other means to describe them. To look for more than
one we can place them in a character class: [\[\]] or as
[\][] then capture the one we match: ([\][]).

  s/([\][])/\\$1/

We could also avoid the character class and use:

  s/(\]|\[)/\\$1/


To capture multiple instances in the line we add 'g'.

  s/([\][])/\\$1/g


And to make it easier to read we add x:

$value =~
s/  # start substitution
(   # capture match in $1
[\][]   # character class for [ and ]
)   # end capture
/\\$1/gx;   # replace with \[ or \] globally


Having said all this. I would still prefer Rob's
solution with two separate regexes in a 'foreach'.

To be specific, I think perl 5.8.2 comes with cygwin :-) You access perl 
through cygwin like normal. Just run cygwin and run, 'perl /path/to/script.pl'. 
Or, if you put the path (#/usr/local/bin/perl on cygwin) you can run it as 
"/path/to/script.pl" (Remember though, if you're in the directory of the perl 
script, it isn't "script.pl" it is "./script.pl")

If you have already been coding Perl on a Windows system (just assumed your 
on a Windows system because you got cygwin) it doesn't take too much getting 
use to since you've had to learn Perl for Unix and then figure out to exceptions 
for Windows. cygwin is a relief after you've been fumbling with mc and 
ActiveState.

This is off topic, but is cygwin just the ports of GNU software for windows,
or is it an actual command line interface that simulates linux?

When you do that system creates a new process and any changes you make
in that process do not affect your currently running program.

You need to give more information. This code appears to run fine for me when
I supply some
values for @data. What is it printing? What do you expect it to be printing?

P.S. A more descriptive subject line is considered helpful as well.

Few non-Perl mongers are.  (It's just that some mongers get really
antsy if you get it wrong.)

FYI:  Perl is used for the language and anything related to it.  perl
is the name of the program that runs Perl scripts.  If in doubt, use
Perl.

Also, Perl mongers are advocates for Perl.  See http://www.pm.org/ to
find mongers near you.

Well, you can blame the ghosts of the ancient Greek for thinking that 
introducing two parallel sets of letters - the uppercase and the lowercase 
ones was a good idea. Some alphabets such as the Hebrew Alphabet or the Arabic 
Alphabet only have one set of letters, and they work fine. That put aside, I 
still try to write in proper-case English and prefer to read properly-
capitalised English text, because I find it easier.

My link explained that.

Another thing - the word "monger". Compare:

1. Fish monger.

2. Perl monger.

3. Hate monger.

In Hebrew 1 would be "Mokher", 2 would be "Shocher" and 3 would be 
"Mecharcher". If we called ourselves "Mokhrey HaPerl" or "Mecharcherey HaPerl" 
people will get the wrong idea.

Here's some basics:

http://learn.perl.org/

Here's another:

This list responds best to direct questions about specific problems.

If you want open-ended help with something that you haven't yet taken 
any time to research for yourself, stop right there, fire up your web 
browser (or get out your O'Reilly books), and spend some time studying 
up on the copious material that is already available for people that are 
just learning, as you are. 

Once you get your feet wet, and are working on specific tasks that you 
need help with, feel free to send specific questions -- along the lines 
of "why doesn't this code work?" or "why doesn't this line do what I 
think it should" or "how can I complete the following subroutine?" -- 
and we will be happy to help you out.

But i you just want to open-endedly "get the basics cleared", then this 
list is utterly the wrong place to ask. Start with a web search. Start 
with an excellent site like learn.perl.org. Start with some independent 
reading and practicing. And then come back to us once you're ready for 
the next step.

Because searching perldoc really, really sucks. The only search 
available is `perldoc -q keyword` and it only searches the FAQs and 
then, only their questions. That's right, only the questions; the 
answers are skipped!


If you want to make perldoc useful, why don't you organize a project to 
go thru its PODs and add X<...> where appropriate?

I agree. Perldoc is of little use to the beginning student
of perl. It needs a function similar to  man -k  then it
would be really useful.

I agree. Perldoc is of little use to the beginning student of perl. It
needs a function similar to  man -k  then it would be really useful.

Here's a 3-line shell script I use to grep through the core documentation.

   #!/bin/sh
   poddir=$(dirname $(perldoc -l perl))
   grep -r "$@" $poddir/*.pod

Example (on FreeBSD 5.4):

   $ podgrep -iwl gethostbyname
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/pod/perlfaq9.pod
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/pod/perlfunc.pod
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/pod/perlipc.pod
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/pod/perlos390.pod
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/pod/perlport.pod
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/pod/perltoc.pod
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/pod/perltoot.pod
   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/pod/perlvms.pod

But I agree that a Google search like "gethostbyname 
site:perldoc.perl.org" is superior.

Who are you expecting to do that?  Perl is developed by volunteers.  And
the number of active developers is vanishingly small compared to the
number of people who use Perl every day.

Volunteers generally work on what they find interesting or stimulating
or challenging.  This is not always the case of course, people have
their own motives.  Maybe you are sufficiently motivated to work on
improving perldoc?  It would appear that most people aren't.

Since Perl is open source, you have the usual options if you want
something done:

 1.  Do it yourself.
 2.  Get someone else to do it.
 3.  Wait.

Often the best way to get someone else to do something for you is to pay
them.  Yes, this is all a little simplistic, but the principles hold.

Hi & a question

[John McKown]

I'm new here and a very novice Perl coder. And I have a question, of 
course .

Is it more "Perl-like" to get information from the shell via UNIX 
Environment Variables or via the command line? For an example, I have 
writing a Perl program which reacts to messages sent to it. It has four 
input parameters. The current program gets this information, which is two 
distinct subdirectories, a port number, and an IP address, via four 
different environment variables. My question is should I do it that way or 
should I pass this information in via the command line. 

E.g.

export DIR1=...
export DIR2=...
export IPADDR=...
export IPPORT=...
perl-script.perl

or

perl-script.perl DIR1 DIR2 IPADDR IPPORT

Although my current code uses the first way, I'm beginning to think that 
the second is preferrable because it would be more portable to non-UNIX 
environments.

I hope everybody is having a good holiday.

The quickest way to do that in most browsers is right click on the
toolbar, select customize and remove the button from the bar.

If you mean disable it on browsers used to view your pages, you can't do
that and shouldn't even try. That button is a basic feature of the
browser and should always be available. I do know there is a javascript
trick that works on some browsers, but I consider that a bug that should
have been fixed long ago. I also file bug reports on any site that I
notice interfering with the use of back and forward buttons.

Another option is to add 'target="_blank"' attribute to the anchor to
open the page in a new tab or window.

Hi, newbie question

[Desmond Lee]

Hi guys

I'm trying to read a file, but it's just one massive line. I think that the 
^M  is suppose to be an indication that that's wehre teh newline is suppose 
to be. I've tried to replace ^M with a newline by executing something that i 
found on the web:

perl -pi.bak -e 's/\^M/\n/g' moby_threads_install.txt


This didn't work. Even in vi when i do a search for ^M by doing '/^M' it 
says that no matches were found. The ^M is not two characters but one. Can 
anyone out there please help me?

Thanks

Desmond

hi,all!
   today,i have write such a program

#!usr/local/bin/perl5.6.1
#middle machine version 1.0

use IO::Socket;

$SIG{CHLD} = sub {wait()};
$main_sock = new IO::Socket::INET(LocalHost =>'192.168.1.2',
  LocalPort => 34561,
  Listen=> 5,
  Proto => 'tcp',
  Reuse => 1,
 );
die "main Socket could not be created.Reason: $!\n" unless ($main_sock);
while ($new_sock = $main_sock->accept()){
 $pid = fork();
  die "Cannot fork : $!" unless defined ($pid);
if ($pid ==0){
while (defined ($buf = <$new_sock>)){
  print $buf;
  send_message();}
  exit(0);
}
}
close ($main_sock);

sub send_message{
 $send_sock = new IO::Socket::INET(PeerAddr =>'192.168.1.3',

   );
die "Socket Could not be created.Reason:$!\n" unless $send_sock;

}

the problem is the socket $send_sock could not establish with the host
192.168.1.3 while i run this program
the hos 192.168.1.3 just a simple program to recieve the message from this
program.

RE: Hi & a question

[Steven Kreuzer]

Why not just make DIR1, DIR2, IPADDR AND IPPORT global variables within
the script, rather then requiring user to set env variables, which can
become a pain in the ass.

Your best bet would be to set them to some default variable, and then if
the user needs to, she can override the default values by passing the
new values as parameters. Hope that helps.

RE: Hi & a question

[Harvey, Bruce T.]

I'm not a 'perl' pro, but I am a pro at using different shells, programs and
so on in different environments.  

It depends on the environment in which you're running.

For example, running on some type of *NIX at a command line, you might very
well want command line options so that people and scripts can easily change
the arguments (it is a pain to change environment variables ... more typing
and saving and exporting and what not).

However, if your perl script is called from other perl scripts (since people
aren't typing it), you may want to change the environment.

Of course, you may want to hide the arguments, in which case, variables in a
file readable by the script would be the choice, so that no one could see
the arguments (*NIX ps -elf) or the environment (*NIX ps axe).

IMHO, it really depends on what the best use is ... how much a pain ...
what's the protection ... do different people need different environments
but NEVER change it once they have that environment (the case for
Environment variables) ... etc.

I don't run much under M$ Windows, but that may very well point you in a
particular direction, based on what's easily available.

I might remind you--not everyone even celbrates that particular holiday.  I
join my family in the celebration, and finds that it works fine that way as a
celebration of the solstice.  I cetainly don't feel, though, that I have to
stop creative engagements, to celbrate a holiday.

Hi John,

I'd suggest that both approaches can be somewhat lacking in portability.  The
command line is something of a kludge, IMHO, as it still depends largely on
users typing in the correct parameters.  I think ini files would be portable
across a much wider variety of systems.  Just write the ini file per
installation configuration.

Actually, I considered an "ini" or "cfg" file, but rejected it. I was 
wanting something more "standalone" in this case. First, it seemed a bit 
much for only 4 parms. Second, I didn't want to maintain a separate file. 
Third, I didn't want to parse an "ini" file, although there is likely a 
CPAN module around to do that. And I already use LWP::UserAgent and 
HTTP::Request::Common, so requiring another CPAN modules is not really a 
big deal. I really appreciate CPAN!

Personal opinion: A cfg file is much easier to update/maintain then 
environment variables, and a command line is easier to use for 
'variable' setups.  For a case like this I would probably want to use 
a combined commandline/config file setup.  Luckily, that only 
requires *one* CPAN module: AppConfig.  It will handle both, in 
either order.

Thanks for the seasonal ranting option:



I must confess that I find it rather ironic that you

One of my more demented variants is up at:

Re: Hi & a question

Daniel,
For only 4 variables, I thought it was overkill to have an "ini" file. 
However as I continue to mess around with my code, I'm adding more and 
more externalized variables. Use of an "ini" is becoming more appealing. 

Thanks for your thoughts!
