ISP won't install Perl modules
Hi all, My ISP won't install some Perl modules I want to use (Email::Valid and Mail::Address). Is there a way to install these modules in some directory I have access to so I'll be able to use them ? Kind regards, Rene Verharen Please DO NOT reply to me personally. I'll get my copy from the list. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: ISP won't install Perl modules
Rene, If it is a pure perl module (I believe Email::Valid is), you can put it in one of your directories and push/unshift it into @INC. In some cases you may have to do that push or unshift inside a BEGIN so that the interpreter sees that action before reading @INC. Another option is to find a web host that willingly installs modules for you. I'm working with one now that is great about this. If you'd like more info, e-mail me offline from the list.

XML with perl
Hi, I am using perl for the first time. Can anyone please send me some links where I can find information and examples of Perl modules for XML programming. thanks in advance, Vijay [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri, 17 Jan 2003 15:18:42 +0100, Rene Verharen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, My ISP won't install some Perl modules I want to use (Email::Valid and Mail::Address).

You didn't state whether you can login at a terminal prompt, so I will assume so, but this isn't necessary either. At a terminal you should be able to set PERL5LIB environment variable in your shell to point to whatever directory you wish the modules to live under, for instance HOME/lib where HOME is your home directory, then just run perl -MCPAN -e shell and install as normal. Then in your scripts you will have to add a 'use lib' line, similar to: use lib '/HOME/lib'; Before you 'use' any of the modules in that directory. This is the easiest way, if you must install by hand then you will most likely need to pass a PREFIX=/path/to/lib/dir directive to perl Makefile.pl, and if you don't have a terminal, then you should be able to install a local version where you are doing your development and then just recursively upload the directory, but this is dangerous as you must make sure the two environments match before installing.

Re: ISP won't install Perl modules
Similar (If it is a pure perl module) - If you are using cgi-bin as is typical, you can place the module into your cgi-bin path.../cgi-bin/Email and refer to as usual in your perl script, i.e. use Email::Valid; (This can clutter up cgi-bin..., but it worked for me.)

Re: cgi.pm generate html vs. print EndOfHTML;
I'm new to the HTML::Template module as well, but from what I can see, it beats the pants off using print eohJust out of curiosity (and maybe for the sake of the list) did your problem have to do with the syntax of the TMPL_VAR tag? I don't think you are suppose to use a name attribute, I think you just put the name of the parameter in the tag.

Re: Search database problem.
On Fri, 17 Jan 2003 at 17:10, Hughes, Andrew opined:

HA:The goal is that before I submit a form submission to the database, I want
HA:to make sure that someone with the same email address has not already
HA:submitted it. If the count(*) brings up anything greater than 0 then the
HA:users has already submitted an entry and receives the Duplicate Entry
[snip]
why don't you put a unique index on the email field? that will prevent
duplicate records and save you a lot of overhead using perl to check for
uniqueness.
then, when you go to insert a new record, wrap it in an eval {}. if $@
contains something after the insert attempt, it's probably because the
unique index constraint was violated.
for example:
my $sth = $dbh-prepare('insert into (foo) values(?)');
eval {
$sth-execute('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
};
if ($@) {
warn error - probably a violation of the unique constraint;
# return something to the user
}
else {
$dbh-commit;
}
