Re: How much is too much

The various hosting plans I have allow Perl and I have never had a problem with them. I am starting a new, more CGI-intensive project and I'm troubled by the question how much PERL is too much. Bandwidth can be metered, but I haven't seen hosters who meter processor time. Instead they make vague statements about removing inappropriately-greedy scripts. Does anyone know how hosting companies really approach this issue? Are there CGI-friendly hosters? Do scripts and accounts get pulled all the time, or is this not something to worry about. Can I start calculating pi now? Thanks, Tim I have another vote for he.net Those guys are great. Using the prefix modifier you can install any version of perl you like in your own web space. Also if there is a module you would like to use i.e. I use DBD::Xbase, you can install that in your virtual web space and all will be well with the hosting service, the perl gods, and anybody else that has any opinion. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is a book also called Learning Perl from O'Reilly, but really I don't feel there is a suitable enough reason to pay a lot of money for it, especially since you have Programing Perl already. Programming Perl is very detailed, and reading that book should teach you a lot of perl. Talking to other Perl Programmers is important too. The most important thing is progressive practice. As this is a CGI mailing list, I thought I'd mention that the book I began learning off of was Perl and CGI for the World Wide Web: Visual Quickstart Guide by Castro. I thought is was good, it taught me the basics. I was just some web designer that wanted to learn some Perl. After than one I read Programming Perl, I did not buy it though, I went to the library.

RE: Learning Perl
Perl and CGI for the World Wide Web: Visual Quickstart Guide by Castro. So true. I agree on this. I personally got the Perl: A Beginners Guide but I like how the Visual Quickstart Guides are done, except they are done on an old Mac box from the mid-90's. Other than that i love the Visual Quickstart Guides. I personally like using a Quickstart Guide or Beginners Guide and then jump straight to the reference manuals and web tutorials. There are a lot of web tutorials out there and they are good too. Just my 2 cents. Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Learning Perl
both of these options are great. but I'll tell you what I did. I bought a copy of the perl cd bookshelf on www.half.com that's the first one not the second one. Learning Perl 2nd Edition is on the cd along with perl in a nutshell, Programming Perl, 2nd edition, Perl Cookbook, Advanced Perl Programming and Learning Perl on Win32 Systems... It is an awesome resource if you don't mind reading on your computer. its a great resource for anyone serious about perl. - Original Message - From: fliptop [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Randal L.

There is a [EMAIL PROTECTED]mailing list that is specifically aimed at general perl beginning questions. If you are coming from a 'c' or 'c++' background, then most of the general syntax will map easily onto what you already know about programming. Either way you will also want to become fast friends with perldoc perl since perl offers a lot of internal documentation. I saved off some of the basic perl web sites at: http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/perldoc/ At which point you will also want to pick up books like a. CGI Programming with perl b. Dynamic HTML - the definitive reference c. JavaScript The Definitive Guide since you will find that understanding HTML will be very useful, and that there are times when you will want your perl cgi code to generate javascript stuff... ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

email adress eq email adress?
Hello List!
First post for this newbie. I'm writing a CGI that connects to a CommuniGate
Pro server and gets a list of the lists on the server. Then it gets a list
of all the subscribers on each list, comparing each adress to one input
using a form ($Account). Whenever it finds a match it makes the checkbox
checked. The problem I'm having is comparing email-adresses:
if ($_ eq $Account) {
Make the checkbox checked here...
}
$_ may be [EMAIL PROTECTED] and $Account may be
[EMAIL PROTECTED], but they don't match because @aftonbaldet is
treated as an array. How do I get the eq to ignore the @?
TIA
/Ian

premature end of script headers
when running my script from the command line, it generates the html fine, however when I upload it to my hosters' server (apache on linux), I get an internal server error. when checking the log, I find: premature end of script headers and no such file or directory I have uploaded in ASCII, included the html header with the two newlines following, set the correct permissions for the file and its folder, used UNIX line endings, the syntax is correct (running it with the -c flag on the command prompt tells me it is fine). I have a simple 'hello world' script on the server and this one works fine. the script reads from two files, a functions.lib and a text database. they are both located in the same folder and have their permissions set to 644 I don't know what else it could be and am starting to go crazy here. please help (thanks in advance) rachel
i figured it out
thanks for the help I probably would have gotten, but I figured it out, I was missing the first slash in my shebang line. rachel
