Re: Confusion on @array vs $array[] vs $array
I can see where you're coming from on this. However the most obvious reason is that
perl has no relationship in scalar context between @somename and %somename.
Your question regarding the special $ is not germane to this concept. Each element
of the array is a separate scalar variable, accessed by each key of the index.
Therefore to retrieve a scalar value, you must use a scalar reference. In this case
$key. Other wise you would be asking Perl to find @key (a list) which really doesn't
exist. That's unless of course you had created it. That's the way I see the thing.

Subject: Confusion on @array vs $array[] vs $array
Hello:
I have been fairly confused on the intermixing of array naming standards. If I
understand correctly, the @array syntaxt is used to refer to the whole array,
while $array[n] is refered to specific elements.
In my thinking, it would have been less confusing to use @array[n] to address
specific elements, but Perl complaines bitterly when warnings /or strict is
enabled.
Is the rational for the $array[] character for identifying @array elements
due to the fact that the $ character has special meaning (denotes variable or
element) within double quoted text, while the @ sign has no special meanign
within double quotes.
Anyway, perhaps one of you syntactical thought police could give me some
insights to the rational. I find it very confusing that the $ and @ characters
are supposed to be used interchangeably to denote arrays, particularyly when I'm
trying to fathom the relation to other issues such as scalar or list context.
As I recall, hashes arso use % and @ interchangeably.
Thanks,
Lance

You could try using a refresh. First click pulls the information from the database and stuffs it into a file.

The user is not computer illaterate, but he should not bother about downloading and choosing certain directories (as he will have to download hundreds of these files) and definitely not about ftp or something like that. Well, as I said, it is the downloading part that I don't know how to do. Can it be done with perl or should I look at something else - maybe javascript? I don't think it can be done automatically like you want, from a web browser. It would cause too many security problems. In a web browser, the user must be asked to save anything to disk, once for each file. If you need automation of this kind, you should look into using a LWP script to automatically get the files, and keep the browser out of it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ GO.com Mail Get Your Free, Private E-mail at http://mail.go.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

META http-equiv=Pragma: no-cache
I want to do the same thing in a page generated by perl/cgi, i.e something

$q-start_html(-title='My new page',
-meta={'http-equiv'='Cache-Control'
'content'='no-cache,must-revalidate'})
-meta={'http-equiv'='Pragma: no-cache'});
but this gives

'Cache-Control' 'content'
How does one get perl produce the equivalent of the META tags above?

Subject: Menus and Forms
Hi
Can someone help me with these 2 problems I have :
1) I want to create 2 (or more) drop down lists. Depending on what is
selected on the first list, the second list is generated and depending on
what is selected on the second list the 3rd list is generated. I know this
can be done in javascript, but it is hardcoded. I want to be able to
generate the second list from a database.
2) Something similar to the above. When some fields are filled in on a
form(Form1), the user presses submit and goes on to another form (Form2),
more fields are filled in depending on form1's input. Form2 is submitted and
form3 appears depending on what is filled in on Form2. The problem is that I
have to keep on passing all the variables filled on Form1 as hidden fields
on From2 and then all of Form1 and Form2 variables onto Form3 so that once
Form3 is submitted I can get them using $q-param('var'). Is there an easier
way to do this?
Thanks
Margaret

Janek,
Im sorry but I dont quite understand your statements. I sincerely hope
that you are not accusing me of copying source code. I truly dont know why you
would think that
and if you dont I apologize for this part of my response. I simply posted with a
question about my
source code that I thought someone could help with.
I didn't mean that it is a crime to copy source code from another program.
I mean't it is very dangerous to program with a copy+paste style.
Why? First of all, if you have to make a change later,
then you should only have to change the code at ONE position.
There's also a great danger that little errors are done by copying+paste.
The source code posted here, showed some of the little errors:
if ($href-{st_name1} eq $state) {
#print $href-{quad_name}, $href-{st_name1}\n ;
$state_hash{$href-{quad_name}} = $href-{st_name1} ;
^
}
}
elsif ($href-{st_name2} eq $state) {
#print $href-{quad_name}, $href-{st_name1}\n ;
$state_hash{$href-{quad_name}} = $href-{st_name1} ;
^
As you can see, both if-constructs are nearly the same.
In fact there's only one character different (st_name1 = st_name2).
The constructs make only sense when in the assignment
the 1 is replaced by 2.
Such little mistakes are typical for copying+paste - programming.
It seems, that the author wanted to say:
set the state of the hyperlink reference to quad_name to
the reference of st_nameX, where the reference to st_nameX is the $state.
Instead of that, the code says something like:
set the state ... of quadname ... to st_name1 if reference of st_name1 eq $state
set the state ... of quadname ... to st_name2 if reference of st_name2 eq $state
set the state ... of quadname ... to st_name3 if reference of st_name3 eq $state
set the state ... of quadname ... to st_name4 if reference of st_name4 eq $state
As you can see, the real idea is hidden.
That's an alert signal.
Well, you could say, I have to be more carefully when copying.
I should write a short comment to explain the idea.
But that's not the way. You'll become a better programmer avoiding doubled code.
(Or just take BASIC - use goto; peek; poke; and randomness line numbering)
Doubled code have a similar functionality -
that's why write a loop, subroutine, module, class, macro or use Perl's powerful eval.
Of course it needs a little time -
but you get it back later (with factor 3).
As in the example above - you also could write a pseudocode like:
foreach X (1 .. 4)
set the state of the hyperlink reference to quad_name to
the reference of st_nameX, if the reference to st_nameX is the $state.
what should be possible to implement.
I know it's hard, always to remember that I shouldn't copy code.
In addition it's hard, when you're a programming newbie.
So I always say - and that's simple to remember -
that it is a real crime to copy code.
Cheerio,
Janek

Ok, I finaly joined a perl list as I have been banging hy head against the
wall for 3 days trying to get this to work! I would really appreciate any
help:) Heres is the problem:
I have a script that after you Login it should give you a cookie and then
load the game start page. Well problem is it gives the cookie but then does
not load the page! I am using CGI.pm for this as cookie-lib did not work
overly well. Here is my code(Don't laugh)
#Do Player Login
if ($ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} eq Login) {
CGI::ReadParse(*form);
$password= $form{'password'};
$username= $form{'username'};
$file= data/$username.db;
open (USR, $file) || die(Badpw_Page);
@Read_Password=USR;
close(USR);
chop(@Read_Password);
if($Read_Password[0] eq $password) {
print LoadMyCookie;
print GameStart_page;
exit;
} else {
Badpw_Page;
exit;
}
}
#
#Load Cookie
#
sub LoadMyCookie {
$bbtdPlayerData = $TheCookie-cookie(-name='bbtdplayer', -value=[thing,
stuff, t$
print $TheCookie-header(-cookie=$bbtdPlayerData);
exit;
}
#Game Start Page
sub GameStart_page {
print Content-type: text/html\n\n;

Re: structure of scripts (newbie Q)
One of the reasons I have learned is that you're able to maintain a better flow of control. With your logic defined at the top of the program, readability becomes easier. You define what it is you want the app to accomplish. (The meat) and then you design your output and user interface funtions through the use of subs (The sizzle). Changes are more easily managed this way and it makes for reusable code. There of course are many good books on standardization and coding guidelines. If you go to Perl.com there is small section on this topic. Couldn't tell you exactly where though. Another place to review is the perlstyle manpage. Your code is your own however. It just depends on whom will have to deal with it in the event you leave or give it away. That's 2cents for whatever it's worth.

Let me also add, unlike *nix, you may run scripts from virtualy any folder you see fit on Win (within wwwroot for the web of course).

In some cases it makes sense to name the cgi folder something less obvious like, wordfiles, oldapps or the like. Be creative.

I have my scripts in a directory which was created automatically called scripts a subdirecctory of c:\inetpub - IIS has it configured for executables. However, all my perl scripts in this directory have the extension .cgi. Double-clicking one of the example files installed by ActivePerl (those files have a .pl extension) executes fine, but my .cgi files have a generic icon - can't believe I didn't think to check that.

I don't think IIS normally pre-creates a cgi-bin for you - none of my installations have one (here is an excerpt from the IIS 5 documentation) extract To install and configure CGI applications: Set up a directory for your CGI programs. For extra security, you should separate your CGI programs from your content files. You do not need to name the directory Cgi-bin, although you can do so if you want. See Creating Virtual Directories. /extract As I said in my original email, you need to mark the directory as allowing scripting for executables inorder to get the .pl file to run. I agree with what you say about the file extension; I did mention the .pl extension in my original response. Lynn, any updates on this problem? regards Joel -Original Message- From: Gunther Birznieks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 02 September 2001 04:00 To: yahoo; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: active perl on IIS Joel, I could be wrong but based on the way Lynn describes the problem, it does not sound like she has a problem with Perl being installed as the PerlScript examples do work as she stated. Also, she should not have to create a cgi-bin. IIS has a pre-created cgi-bin typically. While I am a fan of OReilly, I am also not sure that Win32 Perl book from OReilly will help Lynn so much because it's about Perl first and foremost, CGI secondarily (not that much coverage), and I don't think it goes into server configs but I could be wrong. Anyway, I think what Lynn is describing sounds more like a file extension problem. ActiveState Perl does set up Perl for IIS if I remember correctly but it does it based on FILE EXTENSION. So an important factor here is that Lynn should figure out if her file extensions would run if she clicked on the script in Explorer. I would be interested to know what file extension she is using for her scripts. If her colleagues are on UNIX and writing web apps, it's highly likely that they might use .cgi as an extension? But ActiveState never sets up .cgi. It will set up .pl for Perl for example. I have a more detailed article on this topic located here: http://webcompare.internet.com/isapiperl/index.html With a page specific to providing hints for installing ActiveState Perl for IIS here. http://webcompare.internet.com/isapiperl/isapiperl_3.html Good Luck, Gunther At 08:23 PM 8/29/2001 +0100, yahoo wrote: Lynn, I've installed ActiveStates Perl a couple of times on Win 2K NT and each time, as part of the install, it allowed/prompted for the configuration of the ISAPI part which basically meant you can run perl as an active x scripting engine. SCRIPT LANGUAGE=perlscript runs fine then. I seem to remember that CGI still works fine and they had some sort of speedy up extra module to make it go faster - kinda like a mod_perl for IIS I suppose - anyway,

I have a form which I designed at work on Linux and Apache, and it works fine in that environment. I want to run it on my home W2K machine, but am baffled. My coworkers are no help because they all work on *nix machines. I installed activeperl and followed the configuration directions at the activeperl site but after clicking submit on my form I get the page cannot be displayed. The active perl example pages work correctly, but they have the perl script imbedded in the html page, unlike what I want to run which is a separate html file and perl script. I'm not expecting anyone in this group to walk me through it, unless you want to :), but can you point me to a helpful source? I did change the path in the form action tag, but there is probably something else simple I am forgetting in this port from unix to windows. On apache, I check error_log, is there an equivalent log file for W2K IIS?

html
head
