RE: uninitialised value strings
Most likely because no data is being passed to the script.

You do not have a variable '$q' initialized to any value (perl should be
complaining about calling an invalid method). You are using it as if you
have assigned it a reference to a CGI object. However, you can just get
rid of the '$q->' all together, because you've imported the 'param'
function with the call to 'use CGI qw(:standard)'.
Side Note:
When you get more involved with Perl, take a look at the module
CGI::Application.
It is a framework for doing CGI Applications based on run modes (which you
are
doing with your '$action' variable).

RE: Browser Problem
Check any 'Content-type' header that you send. The header should be 'Content-type: text/html'. If you are not sending a 'Content-type' header, then you should be. To do this simply put one of the following statements in your code: # if you are using Lincoln Stein's CGI.pm module. print CGI->header(); or # if you are NOT using Lincoln Stein's CGI.pm module. print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; The reason the HTML is being read as plain text, is due to the fact Netscape and Opera are being the content is 'Content-type: text/plain'.

RE: Upload script
Here's what going on. # $file is now assigned the name of a file, which has been uploaded using your form. my $file = $q->param( "file" ) || error ($q, "No file received."); # the 'upload' subroutine has the same usage as 'param', but is used for file uploads. # so instead of passing $file to 'upload' you should be passing "file". # (this is according to the CGI docs.) 'upload' returns a filehandle, while 'param' returns # a file name. this may be your problem. my $fh = $q->upload( $file ); If you want to use the subroutine 'uploadInfo' then you will need to retrieve the filename from the CGI object using 'param', but for a filehandle you should use 'upload'.

RE: Upload script
If you have downloaded the latest version of CGI, then that may be your problem. CGI.pm versions 3.0 and above are ALPHA code and shouldn't be used in production environments. (I don't even use that version in test environments.) The latest STABLE version of CGI.pm was 2.753, but I think now it maybe 2.76. (Check you local CPAN dealer for more details.) In any case, you should download the latest 2.x version of CGI.pm and use that. If you ARE using the latest 2.x version of CGI.pm, then could you post your code so we can have a look at it.

RE: Tie and HASHREF's
I decided that I would try it myself, and I have found that the code below
is correct. For a tied hash (%hash), and the variable $hashref is assigned
\%hash the following lines are equivalent:
$hashref->{key} eq $hash{key};
$hash{key} eq $hash{key};

Tie and HASHREF's
I am wondering about the use of tie with hashes and then returning a
reference to that tied hash.
If have the following code:
##--- Begin Code
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Apache::Session::DB_File;
my %session;
tie %session, Apache::Session::DB_File, ,
{FileName=>'/path/to/db_file', LockDirectory=>'path/to/'};
my $hashref = \%session;
##--- End Code
Is
$hashref->{session_var} = session_value;
the same as
$session{session_var} = session_value;

RE: PERL and JavaScript
Have you thought of doing named anchors? (ie. ) If you use separate forms for each section, and direct them to the same script except at the end of the action URL you add '#anchor_name' w/o the quotes, the page should load up where you want it to. I have a very simple script to show my point. Go to --> http://test.jack-of-all-trades.net/cgi-bin/test.cgi Notice that the page is just blank except for a submit button. View the source and notice the action URL of the form tag. Also notice that the page is completely blank save the submit button. Click the submit button and you will see what happens. NOTE: Make sure you use the POST method, or it may not work. POST method is the best way to go anyway, IMOHO.

Database Connection Pooling (Java vs. Perl)
In Java there is the ability to do database connection pooling, where you have a ConnectionPool object that contains multiple database connection in it. When you need a connection to a database, you get one from the pool and go. Is there a way to do this in Perl, or is there some article I could read to learn how to do this.

The server you connect to needs to be the name of the email server. It will
most likely NOT be just summitrelocation.com. It should something like
mail.summitrelocation.com, or smtp.summitrelocatio.com. You need to check
with her, or her hosting provider for the details.

RE: Table display speed: can be improved?
try this:
my $row;
print "";
while($row = $dbh->fetch()) {
print Tr([td([@$row[1..18]])]);
}
print "";
This only pulls a database resultset row into memory when you need. In your
earlier example you pull everything into memory first and then print it out.
This can be quite inefficient. I'm not sure how much this will speed up
your load time, if any, but it theoretically should work.

RE: new one...
In my experience with Perl, whenever you use the construct 'print
<<"tag_name";' you need to surround it with either single quotes (') or
double quotes ("). That's the only thing that I see that could be wrong.

RE: e-mailing HTML form results
If you are going to use the 'datasend' and 'dataend' subroutines then you
must change your to do the following:
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("whatever1\n");
$smtp->datasend("whatever2\n");
$smtp->datasend("whatever3\n");
$smtp->dataend();
One thing to note. When you start sending data, it is best to send a
Subject line that ends with two "\n". This tells the email program what the
subject is, and it also tells the email program where the body of the
message starts. If you don't want to print subject line then at least print
two "\n" characters.
$smtp->datasend("Subject: Subject line here\n\n");
or
$smtp->datasend("\n\n");
I my experience with this module, if you don't do this, then the email will
be unreadable by the recipient.

RE: CGI vars
Multiple form parameters of the same name are interpretted by CGI.pm as an
array. The first one to appear in the form is the 0th element and then it
goes on from there. For instance:
If the form is submitted with all these checkboxes checked, then CGI.pm will
create an array that is structured like this:
@param_array = ('Tea', 'Coffee', 'Soft Drinks', 'Juice', 'Milk');
Now if you have a script that looks like this:
#!/path/to/perl -w
use CGI;
use strict;
my $q = new CGI qw(-debug);
foreach ($q->param('param1')) {
print; # prints each element is succession.
print "\n";
}
print "\n\n";
my $param_value = $q->param('param1'); # assigns the first element of the
array, in this case the string 'Tea'.
print "${param_values}\n"; # prints the string 'Tea'.
# End test script.
Enter the following command:
perl test_script.pl
The script will pause for input. Enter the following as input:
param1=Tea¶m1=Coffee¶m1=Soft%20Drinks¶m1=Juice¶m1=Milk
Press the return key and then hit CTRL-D (for Unix systems) or CTRL-Z (I
believe for Windows systems) to issue the end of file character so CGI.pm
will stop reading output and the script will continue processing.
The output is below.
# Begin output.
Tea
Coffee
Soft Drinks
Juice
Milk
Tea
# End output.
The way the param subroutine works in CGI.pm is like this:
1.) if called in scalar context it returns the first element of the array.
2.) if called in array context it returns the entire array.
NOTE: This is not the case with version 3+ of the CGI package of modules.
Version 3+ is ALPHA CODE and shouldn't be used in production servers. This
output was obtained using CGI Version 2.753 which is the latest production
release of the CGI package of modules by Lincoln D. Stein.

RE: Crtl + C
If you have Term::ReadKey installed try this. If you don't have
Term::ReadKey installed then you can get from CPAN at:
http://search.cpan.org/search?module=Term::ReadKey
If you are using Windows, then I'm not sure if Term::ReadKey will work.
Here is a test script I wrote to show how Term::ReadKey works (a small
sampling anyway).
# Start script.
#!/path/to/perl -w
use Term::ReadKey;
ReadMode 4, STDIN;
my $char;
print 'ReadMode 4. Echo is off and control characters disabled.' . "\n";
print 'Press "q" to quit. --> ';
while(1) {
if(defined($char = ReadKey -1, STDIN)) {
if($char ne 'q') {
print "\nYou typed '${char}'\n";
print "--> ";
} else {
last;
}
}
}
ReadMode 0, STDIN;
ReadMode 3, STDIN;
print 'ReadMode 3. Echo is off and control-break (^C) breaks the read
cycle.' . "\n";
print 'Press ^C to quit. --> ';
while(1) {
if(defined($char = ReadKey -1, STDIN)) {
print "\nYou typed '${char}'\n";
print "--> ";
}
}

If you are using the Term::ReadKey module, what read module do you have it
in? Can you post your code?

Try running the following code as a test script: --- Start code #!/path/to/perl my $var = "I'm interpolated"; print 'This is a variable name-> $var'; print "\nThis is a variable value-> $var \n"; -- End code Your output should be: This is a variable name-> $var This is a variable value-> I'm interpolated Brad Handy --www.jack-of-all-trades.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -Original Message- > From: Camilo Gonzalez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, July 13, 2001 3:25 PM > To: 'Bradley M.

RE: Copy and past HTML into a perl script
Your quotes may be mismatched. Meaning that you are enclosing the entire HTML source with double quotes and you have unescaped double quotes in your HTML source. That would confuse perl. For example: print ""; # in this line image.gif is a bareword. You should do this: print ''; # this does not interpolate variables though. or print ""; # this does interpolate variables. or print <<"HTML"; # this does interpolate variables if you use double quotes. HTML But if you're looking for a longer term solution. Here are my suggestions: 1. Use the Template Toolkit set of modules available at: http://search.cpan.org/search?module=Template 2. Use the HTML::Template module available at: http://search.cpan.org/search?module=HTML::Template 3. Put your HTML in a separate file, open it and the print the lines as you read them. If you do one of the above then you can modify your HTML source and not worry about screwing up your code. Plus it makes your code more readable.

RE: Regrex substitution!!!
You still could use s///. You just need to take out the '+' sign like so: $number =~ s/\d/x/g; If you use the regexp above for the following example here is what you get: $number = '1 1';# before regexp $number =~ s/\d/x/g;# perform regexp $number = 'x x';# after regexp If you leave the '+' sign in this is what happens: $number = '1 1';# before regexp $number =~ s/\d+/x/g; # perform regexp $number = 'x x';# after regexp The '+' was telling PERL to group as many numbers as it could into one substitution.

Your script is pausing here for input from STDIN. I'm not really sure how
to solve your problem though.
You would need some kind of event handler, and haven't tried doing those in
PERL yet.

I believe that you can get the same functionality from the 'getc' function in PERL. Although I believe that 'getch' returned the 'character' you pressed not a variable.

The above line should be:

fetch CGI::Cookie returns a hash of CGI::Cookie objects with the key as the

RE: Errors
Well that answers my question. I was going to ask if the ^M chars were
still in the file or not. I use a simple text editor called 'Super Notetab'
I has the option to save in either 'Windows' or 'Unix' formats. That's why
I like it. No external tools to strip those annoying Microsoft
incantations.
