Upgrade to Perl
Hi List, I have been running Perl 5.6.0 for a while now, and today I decide to upgrade to 5.6.1! Everything works very good, but after the upgrade I can't see any changes to the system! I installed the upgrade in the same directory as Perl 5.6.0 Now, here are my problems, if anyone can please help me: 1. Perl still reports to be Version 5.6.0 2. I see so many Perl executables, and don't know which one the latest one is, or what I should do at this point to get the server to report Perl to be 5.6.1 /usr/bin/perlCreated: 12/25/2000 /usr/bin/perl5 Created: 11/20/2000 /usr/bin/perl5.00503Created: 11/20/2000 /usr/bin/perl5.6.0Created: 12/25/2000 /usr/local/bin/perlCreated: 07/24/2002 /usr/local/bin/perl5.6.0 Created: 12/22/2000 /usr/local/bin/perl5.6.1 Created: 07/24/2002 3.

Re: newbie: data structures
This is a very broad question, so giving a specific answer is difficult to say the least, but since no one else has responded I will provide at least this much You are going to want to be looking at using a "hash of hashes" essentially you create a hash where each key is the email address (which you will be looking up on) and the value associated with that key is itself a hash. Here is one place to start: http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/Languages/Perl/PerlfortheWeb/hash_of_hashes.html Or there are examples of these types of structures in the Camel, Advanced Perl Programming, and possibly the other perl related O'Reilly books.

If you are using the cgi script to print the binary of the file (as opposed to redirecting to it, etc.) in other words the script is acting like a pipe, then while that pipe is open (they are downloading the file) then the script is still running and the lock file will still exist, and hence you know they are downloading. > 6.

It is my understanding (help me here group) that the browser would send a signal to the server that it doesn't want anymore data which would then end the print and the rest of the code would be executed and the lock file deleted, however if this is not the case, you *should* be able to no matter what call an (is it?)

Another option which is widely used is to have a cgi-script
do the file "download", by printing the binary out. That way
you can closely monitor the file downloads. I just printed to
a log, but you could do anything you want. You could have a
cgi program, which checks this log, and tail it.
Then "if ($tail =~ /downloading/){print "downloading now\n"}
Of course you will need to work out what happens if 2 or more
users are downloading at the same time.
###
#!/usr/bin/perl
$file = 'test.tgz';
open (LOG,">>test-tgz.log") or die "Couldn't open log: $!";
print LOG "downloading now, start: ",scalar localtime(),"\t",
$ENV{REMOTE_ADDR},"\n";
print<){print}
close (FH);
print LOG "downloading finished, stop: ",scalar localtime(),"\t",
$ENV{REMOTE_ADDR},"\n";
close LOG;
exit 0;

Welcome to Windoze! Their shell recognizes double quotes only.
You're also missing some braces. Try it like this:
D:\>perl -e "for(1..300){sleep 1;print STDERR '.'}"

It could be :
perl -e "sleep 1 for (1..300) ; print STDERR '.'"
or
perl -e "for (1..300){sleep 1 } print STDERR \".\""
you can't start in this way by -e '..'

Apache sets HTTP_REFERER from the Referer request header. But
you cannot force the client to sent a Referer header, so you
need to be careful about building assumptions around it.
See also section 15.1.2 and 15.1.3 of RFC 2616

Re: HTTP_REFERER
Thanks. I was setting up some Paypal stuff and want to make sure that the user is
actually coming from Paypal (https://www.paypal.com.) and then come to my web page
to
ativate their account. The "return" link is on Paypal and when they click the link and
return, I checked the HTTP_REFERER and expect it to be "https://www.paypal.com..."; but
it
wasn't.

Re: HTTP_REFERER
referer is only set if you are linked from another site, are you sure
its being set? And yes its supported by apache (any os).

Re: HTTP_REFERER
Shao-Ju,
Yes, but it does not exist when there was no referer. So, for example, if
somebody just went
strait to test.pl, it would not have a referer, but if somebody went to test.html
which had a link
to test.pl, then you would have a referer which would be the url of test.html
Regards,
David

Finding the country
Hello all, Is it possible to find out the country of my web page visitors using a Perl script? I would like to find the IP address of the visitor ISP, or something else that can help me to find the country. I don't know how to find it if the visitor uses a .net or .com address. Thank you.
