Hey - I didn't realise there was a second edition.
Mastering Regular expressions is what I learnt from, found it great.

Starting Again
Hi All, I started to learn Perl and then had a period in Hospital which has put me right back where I started. I would like to delete all references to Perl on my website so that I can start from scratch. My website is hosted on an Apache server and I use windows2000 on my PC. I tried to delete all the Perl related files on the server but ended up with some directories that could not be deleted because the directory held files that I could not view. Some help or advise would be greatly appreciated. Regards Brian Smart

You can delete all directories and files within a directory by logging
into your apache box with ssh/telnet, or the command line ftp utility[1].
bash$ pwd # print out where you are to make
/where/your/files/are # sure you're in the right dir
bash$ rm -rf direcory_name # delete directories children
Be *VERY* careful with this command. It won't ask you for confirmation
(that's what the -f option means) and it will delete all your files very
quickly. There's no undo and no undelete. I've killed laptops with this
command in the past (sorry Leon) though not giving it enough respect.
rm will delete hidden files when it works recursively as in the above
example. rm * (which is what you've probably been using) will however
_not_. You can list hidden files (those starting with a .) by typing
bash$ ls -a # list _all_ files, inc. hidden in current dir
bash$ ls -a foo # same for the directory foo

RE: Starting Again
Hello Mark and others who replied to my query,
I have managed to delete the offending files so I am now back to the start.
Ivor queried if I was using Activestate on my PC. I installed that without
any difficulty and have been able to run Perl on my PC. My problems start
when I try to upload and run Perl on my web server. I will try again but I
suspect I may be back for more help.
There is one piece of advice I would like to get me going: where should any
new modules which are not part of the core Perl be placed on my web site and
where should my scripts go. I have had conflicting advise from other areas.
Regards
Brian Smart

Capturing local machine's IP address in bash

I've made it most of the way there, but I currently need one script for each possible address (e.g. sh /init.d/vpn/192.168.0.1.sh, sh /init.d/vpn/192.168.1.1.sh). A much easier way to do this would be to have the bash script get the local IP address by requesting it directly from the client machine. Unfortunately, ifconfig is a little hard to parse if you're not human and using bash, and I can't find any other functions to return just the IP address of, say, en0.

Personally, I'd say don't bother using a PDA for email, the interface is just crap. If you must, then use Multimail - which I *think* Palm have bought and bundle with new devices, which will send/receive via the hotsync cradle and your desktop machine*. If you're happy using black and white and infrared, you can do all this with pretty much any low end Palm OS machine, but make sure Documents to Go gets bundled. Reading MS documents is not really practical for the same reason that mail isn't practical - the interface simply isn't designed for that sort of document. At an absolute minimum you'll lose ALL the formatting plus any dynamic content such as automagically calculated ToCs. Forget about editing them as the software doesn't support that. Use the right device for the task - that is, a PDA for your calendar, address book, reading books etc. Use a laptop for email and for reading weird proprietary formats. * - on the subject of unusual mail clients, I'm trying out Mulberry. It has many interesting quirks and missing features. Like the ability to sort my mailbox without having to dick around with mouse and menus, and it doesn't seem to like syncing to an IMAP server when there are deleted messages in my inbox. It sees the messages on the server, but just plain refuses to download them. This is irritating. And it does *not* do disconnected IMAP properly like what Multimail and mailsync do. With Mulberry, you can't apply changes to both versions of your mailbox nad have it just Do The Right Thing. It seems to implement disconnected operations by recording what you do and playing it back later. Really Fucking Stupid. Changes are keyed to msgid, so if you ever have two messages in your mailbox with the same msgid (which is legal) I know that it will break horribly. Bah. Grrr. Thankfully, I just finished recompiling the universe on my ibook - needed to get fink unstable, then upgrade about 300 packages so that that worked, and only then could I install the one package - mailsync - that I wanted. Then hopefully I'll be able to wrap real IMAP around mutt. Just one more thing to do, I need to figger out MTA-fu so that I can transparently send mail but have it queued locally until I get a network connection. It works for immediate sending, but deferred sending just drops messages on the floor. Which is irritating. -- David Cantrell
