Re: When is qw used
Hi, As far as I know qw(some list item) will import from Carp module only subs that you've explicitly requested. In this example `some, list, item` will be available in your namespace but not other from Carp module. `use Carp;` will import all of them.

Some modules import all their endpoints by default; other only export a subset, requiring you to explicitly request others. Carp does not, by default, export cluck.

Because bash is not running the Perl interpreter, but trying to
execute the file as bash commands. That is why the first part of each

this:

Strange behavior with POSIX qw(fpathconf)
I have a feeling this is not a beginners question (I've been hacking in Perl for many years and UNIX systems for far longer) but it seems my choices are this list, or perl5-porters which also doesn't seem right. Isn't there any list where non-beginner questions can be asked? Anyway. I have a Perl environment which is v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi, running on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 system. In this environment, I create a pipe then I want to know the maximum amount I can write to the pipe without blocking. So, I have this code: my ($printrd, $printwd, $pipebuf); pipe($printrd, $printwd) or die pipe(print): $!\n; $pipebuf = fpathconf($printwd, _PC_PIPE_BUF) or die fpathconf(pipe): $!\n; I wrote this code in 2007 and it's run on Red Hat EL 4 and EL 5 systems for years. Once or twice over that time I got reports, that were never reproduced, of the latter die (fpathconf) being hit. The error was invalid file descriptor. Within the last month or so (I have NO IDEA what's changed!) I've started getting failures (on multiple quite different systems) irregularly still, but much more frequently. I'm really stumped as to what might be the problem here. Playing around I changed the code so that if the fpathconf() of the write FD failed, it would try the read FD. I can't be sure (since the problem is intermittent) but is _seems_ like the read FD is working. I really don't want to just change this and call it good, though, without some indication that this is really the problem, and it's not just that I've been lucky so far with the read FD. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this before? Is it true that it's better/safer (in Perl? Everywhere?) to run fpathconf() on the read FD? I've never heard of such a thing, but if this is a known behavior that's fine with me.

That's correct. qw splits its parameter on whitespace, so
qw(A B C)
is similar to
split ' ', 'A B C'
So if you write
use MyConfig 'DOCUMENT_ROOT';
or
use MyConfig ('DOCUMENT_ROOT');
then your program will work as expected. But because you've defined the constant
DOCUMENT_ROOT to be /var/www/
use MyConfig (DOCUMENT_ROOT);
is the same as saying
use MyConfig (/var/www/);
which is nonsense.

qw with strings containing spaces
I need to populate a select multiple on a web page when it loads with a series of values. Most of the values will be determined dynamically when the code runs but some are static. They look like A - H, I - P and Q - Z. The spaces are for readability. What I am doing is declaring an array and assigning the value: @array = qw/All A - H I - P Q - Z/; and then pushing the to-be-determined values onto the array later on. However, when I print this all out while testing, I get each letter, hyphen and quote as individual elements. I've tried escaping different ways to no avail. I've looked on PerlMonks and saw a solution which created a scalar with a string containing each item separated by commas. It is then run through the split() function using the commas as the delimiter. I'd like a more succinct and cleaner method of doing this though, if possible. Any ideas?

You can't do that. The closest you can come in an HTML document is to
use JavaScript (attached to the onclick and onkeydown even handlers) to
dynamically alter the action. This is a really bad idea as it fails in
the absence of JavaScript.
The standard way to get the same effect is to test the value of the
button (which you must give a name) in the form handler. You can then
do whatever actions you like (which may involve an http redirect to
another script). Be aware that it is possible for users to submit forms
without clicking on any submit button, so you need to have the form
handler act in a sane way if $query-param('button_name') isn't set.

This is correct? This is an mode of making they to becoming global to modules? Sorry my bad english. Hi Ricardo. 'use vars' is very similar to declaring variables with 'our', which has been available since Perl 5.6. In fact at this place in the program the two are identical, and 'our' is preferred for new software. Both forms declare persistent package variables in the current package. Package variables differ from lexical variables in that there is only ever one variable of a given name. In your example, for instance, using hash %WRRConf anywhere in the program will access the same data, even within subroutines and code blocks. This is in contrast with 'my' variables which are created and destroyed as they are required, and are unique to the code block in which they are declared. This has no bearing on the modules that are included, and no exporting is involved (although code in any package could, if it chose, access the data as %main::WRRConf etc.) There really should be a good reason to use package variables like this. It is rarely necessary outside an imported module.

The qw() operator changes your source code at compile-time, which is why
you can say
$object-method qw(...)
when ordinarily you'd need
$object-method(...)
When you use qw(this that those), Perl changes that to
('this', 'that', 'those')
Perl splits the qw(...) on spaces, and returns the raw data,
single-quoted. This means no variables. You can't even escape a space:
qw( abc\ def )
becomes
('abc\\', 'def')
That is all.

qw{word word} is the same as ('word', 'word')... and qx{foo bar} is the same

i.e. qq is just like double quotes.
qw/STRING/
Evaluates to a list of the words extracted out of
STRING, using embedded whitespace as the word
delimiters. It can be understood as being roughly
equivalent to:
split(' ', q/STRING/);
the difference being that it generates a real list
at compile time. So this expression:
qw(foo bar baz)
is semantically equivalent to the list:
'foo', 'bar', 'baz'
Some frequently seen examples:
use POSIX qw( setlocale localeconv )
@EXPORT = qw( foo bar baz );
A common mistake is to try to separate the words
with comma or to put comments into a multi-line
`qw'-string. For this reason, the `use warnings'
pragma and the -w switch (that is, the `$^W' vari-
able) produces warnings if the STRING contains the
, or the # character.
i.e. qw takes a list of words that are whitespace separated and turns
them into an array, split on the whitespace.

The quote words (qw) operator does not interpolate variables like a
double quoted string does. The following are equivalent:
@x = qw($f $g $h $i);
@x = ('$f','$g','$h','$i');
@x = (\$f,\$g,\$h,\$i);
Also, instead of writing:
avg_resp_time= [ (@$avg_resp_time[0],
@$avg_resp_time[1],
@$avg_resp_time[2],
@$avg_resp_time[3],
@$avg_resp_time[4],
@$avg_resp_time[5],

This will do the same thing:
avg_resp_time = [ @$avg_resp_time[0..6] ],

qw( john jacob $name ) is equivelent to
('john', 'jacob', '$name') notice the single quote. The single quotes does
not interpolate (use the special meanings of special charaters, so the $
doesn't designate a varible name it's just a $ character).

Try doing something like
my @a = qw( ... );
print join \n, @a, ;
then you can see what happens.
You wil also see that $variables doesn't get interpolated in
qw(). :)
system (qw( /usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piomisc_ext mkpq_remote_ext -q),
$queue, '-h', $newhost.$domain.ko.com, qw(-r jfsrvrsap -t bsd
-d), $qname, Jetforms NT Server TEMPORARY);
would work, but then it's a bit messy. =)
Remember that = can be used instead of a , here, so you could also
do something like,
system ('/usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piomisc_ext',
'mkpq_remote_ext',
'-q' = $queue,
'-h' = $newhost.$domain.ko.com,

Sorry, no white space allowed. Further, using the 'qw()' construct does *not* allow
for
interpolation. Unless you want a literal '$qname' in their, you'll need an array.

needed: food for thought.
And Curtis, I knew I had seen that chart somewhere but this late in the
afternoon I must be tired. I do want those interpolated, so tomorrow I'll
play around with it and see what I can come up with. An array, you say? I'm
not yet used to the way these variables act like infinitely-expandable
containers: I keep thinking I'm going to break something if I just dump a
load of output into a variable. I'll grow out of it, I hope.
This is my first serious Perl program, and even just starting out I can tell
I'll be writing far fewer ksh scripts from now on. Good job, Larry

perldoc perlop:
qw/STRING/
Returns a list of the words extracted out of
STRING, using embedded whitespace as the word
delimiters. It is exactly equivalent to
split(' ', q/STRING/);
In this case, qw is being misused. The code there is equivalent to:
$array[0] = 'stuff,' ;
$array[1] = 'more' ;
$array[2] = 'stuff,' ;
$array[3] = 'even' ;
$array[4] = 'more' ;
$array[5] = 'stuff';
What was probably intended is the equivalent of:
$array[0] = stuff ;
$array[1] = more stuff ;
$array[2] = even more stuff;
In which case the qw should just be dropped, the quoting is sufficient.

That looks like a typo, though they may have actually wanted the quotes
and commas in the strings if you run that under -w, it'll complain.
By the way, have we mentioned that you should always use strict.pm and
the -w switch? =o) lol
what does the qw do?
qw is the Quote-Word operator for perl. c.f. perldoc perlop
qw takes a list of whitespace-delimited strings and quotes them as if
they were each in singleticks. For example:
@array = qw / a b c d e /;
creates an array of the alphabet's first 5 letters.
The slash isn't magical here; it's just one possible bounding
character. You can use matching pairs () {} [] or other things like
/ if those aren't convenient.
So, to paraphrase the above,
@array = qw( stuff moreStuff evenMoreStuff );
makes an array of those three elements, but the literal value above
would yield:
stuff,
more
stuff,
even
more
stuff
Notice that the quotes and commas are part of the strings, and that
even more stuff got split into three seperate elements of the array.
Does that help?
Is that the actual code you're looking at?
If not, post it, and let's take it apart! lol
