how to parse the msqid_ds structure return from msgctl(ID, IPC_STAT, $msq_ds)
The docs state the following : == msgctl ID, CMD, ARG Calls the System V IPC function msgctl(2). You'll probably have to say use IPC::SysV; first to get the correct constant definitions. If CMD is IPC_STAT, then ARG must be a variable which will hold the returned msqid_ds structure. Returns like ioctl: the undefined value for error, "0 but true" for zero, or the actual return value otherwise. See also perlipc/"SysV IPC", IPC::SysV, and IPC::Semaphore documentation. == I have not found a way to dereference the msq_ds array returned as per http://cpansearch.bulknews.net/markup/IPC_SysV/SysV.pm. How is this msqid_ds structure parsed? Do you have a short example?

Kyle:
1. Are you able to execute *other* cgi scripts from this directory?
Check your server's configuration.
2. Does this script have the permissions set correctly? The file itself
must be executable before the Web server (i.e., mod_cgi) will
execute the script.
3. Is the filename-extension correct to enable the server to recognize it
as executable? (e.g., '.cgi' vs '.pl')
4. Did you tell the OS how to execute this script? (e.g., #!/usr/bin/perl)

This seems pretty straight-forward: param() returns a list of all form
elements - even the form elements without values. To check that each field
contains a value.
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI qw(:standard);
use vars qw(%form_fields @missing);
# Create a hash of the HTML form element names and their labels
%form_fields = (
company_name=> 'Company Name',
job_id => 'Job ID',
job_title => 'Job Title'
);
print header(), start_html();
if (count_params() == scalar keys %form_fields) {
print "All form-fields had values.";
} else {
print "These form-fields did not have values:", ol(li([@missing]));
}
print end_html();
sub count_params {
# How many fields have been defined?
my $fields = scalar keys %form_fields;
# Loop through each field name and check the value. If no value was given:
# decrement the counter ($fields), and
# push the field's label onto a list.
foreach (keys %form_fields) {
next if defined param($_);
push @missing,$form_fields{$_};
$fields--;
}

Re: parsing a domain name out of an email address
Thank you. That helped get the script to compile. Neither file is being

bit (and made a correction to the if/then statement):
my $EmailAddress = $to;
if ($EmailAddress =~ (/^\w+\@aol\.com$/i)) {
my $msg = "/www/docs/sips_mar02aol.txt";
my $ContentType = "Content-Type: text/x-aol\n\n";
} else {
my $msg = "/www/docs/sips_mar02.html";
my $ContentType = "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
}
open(MSG, "$msg") or die "Can't open $msg: $!\n";
print MAIL "To: $to\n";
print MAIL "From: $fromaddr\n";
print MAIL "Reply-to: $replyaddr\n" if $replyaddr;
print MAIL "X-Mailer: Perl Mailer\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n";
print MAIL "$ContentType";
while (my $text = ){
print MAIL "$text";
}
print MAIL "\n.\n";
close(MSG);
The purpose of the program is to email the contents of one of the files to a
requestor. Aol has particular formatting needs if the email is being sent
other than text from outside their network. Anyway, I'm certain why the the
script is failing to send the email. I'm sure its something simple.

You must print the output of CGI.pm to STDOUT. e.g.,
my $cookie = cookie(name => 'value');
print header($cookie),
start_html(),

I suggest that you read ALL of the example code.

Modules for parsing RFC822 mail headers
Hello, All: I'd like to write a script that recieves e-mail (via the /etc/alias feature of sendmail/postfix) and parses the header fields. (e.g., From:, To:, Subject:). I've perused the MailTools-1.42 documentation but it's way to hairy for my simple brain. (I haven't gotten a handle on Object-Oriented perl yet.)

SMTP: Capturing delivery status
Hello: Is there a simple way to send an e-mail and capture the delivery status in a perl script? I'd like to create a CGI script that will collect visitors' e-mail addresses (from an html form) and send the visitor a positive .html message if the greeting is successfully sent to the address that was submitted or display an error .html page if the SMTP transmission fails... Net::SMTP, Mail::Sendmail, Mail::Sender, and Mail::Mailer all *seem* to require an intermediary SMTP server. i.e., They *seem* to require that the script hand the message off to my SMTP server for delivery.

Re: Re: CGI on IIS <- bad idea?
So I can actually use a CGI to carry out the perl script in the front end and put the -T inside the cgi right? and the users cannot see which perl script was executed because it's on the server site.

Re: problems with Guestbook script from "Official Guide ... CGI.pm"
Haven't ever used 'lock', but it is a perl function for use with
threading. I am using some of the code from the book, including the
function that you refer to. I just changed the subroutine name from 'lock'
to 'filelock'.
