[OT] Struggling with EWS::Client
I have an idea for a side-project, but because I hate myself it
involves trying to use information held in an Exchange Calendar.
Being the most up to date, I've tried using EWS::Client [I've tried
other modules, but they all dislike me too]. The version I'm using is
1.143070
I just can't get over the first hurdle.
➔ cat owa.pl
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::More;
use EWS::Client;
use DateTime;
my $ews = EWS::Client-new({
server = 'hostname from OWA',
username= 'c.wright',
#set in $ENV{EWS_PASS}
use_negotiated_auth = 1,
});
isa_ok($ews,'EWS::Client');
my $cal = $ews-calendar;
isa_ok($cal, 'EWS::Client::Calendar');
my $entries = $cal-retrieve({
start = DateTime-now(),
end = DateTime-now()-add( months = 3 ),
});
isa_ok($entries, 'EWS::Calendar::ResultSet');
done_testing;
Gives:
perl owa.pl
ok 1 - An object of class 'EWS::Client' isa 'EWS::Client'
ok 2 - An object of class 'EWS::Client::Calendar' isa 'EWS::Client::Calendar'
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at
/Users/c.wright/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.20.0/lib/site_perl/5.20.0/EWS/Calendar/Role/RetrieveWithinWindow.pm
line 12.
# Tests were run but no plan was declared and done_testing() was not seen.
# Looks like your test exited with 255 just after 2.
The line with the error is here:
https://metacpan.org/source/OLIVER/EWS-Client-1.143070/lib/EWS/Calendar/Role/RetrieveWithinWindow.pm#L12
Using Data::Printer on $kind and $response give me:
➔ perl owa.pl
ok 1 - An object of class 'EWS::Client' isa 'EWS::Client'
ok 2 - An object of class 'EWS::Client::Calendar' isa 'EWS::Client::Calendar'
FindItem
\ {}
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference ...
I've tried stepping through with the debugger on previous attempts,
but didn't have much luck.
Has anyone had any success or experience with this module.
Or know of a simple, reliable way to query calendar information in an
Exchange server?
Thanks all!

Re: Beware: NET-A-PORTER
Hi there, I'm an employee at NET-A-PORTER. I've been asked to forward the response from our head of recruitment, which I've pasted in full below. I've also posted this to the Perl Jobs discussion list. (I was unable to continue the thread there as I wasn't a member of that list until earlier today.) Regards, Chisel cut here Hi Rudolf, I’m James and I head up the recruitment team for the NET-A-PORTER Group of businesses; I’d like to start by apologizing for this situation. I truly understand how frustrating and isolating the interview process can be: we try to stay in close contact with all candidates interviewing for roles within our organization, wherever possible we try to avoid using third party recruiters, as so often our message becomes occluded and things inevitably get ‘lost in translation’. I am very disappointed that much of what the recruiter has told you is incorrect; I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly to try to resolve this situation. I will also be speaking to the Recruitment Agency separately about this. For everyone else that has contributed to the discussion please understand that whilst we do partner with third party recruiters from time to time we have little or no control over what individual agents might purportedly say on our behalf, which is why we always encourage you to speak to members of our team directly – many of our developers are active within the community. We are deeply committed to the on-going development of Perl; both internally and within the wider community. You can find out more, or reach our recruitment team directly, via www.net-a-porter.com/careers Many thanks, James James Hudson Global Recruitment Manager NET-A-PORTER LTD 1 The Village Offices Westfield London Shopping Centre Ariel Way London W12 7GF (T) +44 0203 471 4589 (M) +44 7884 250 784 cut here

Exiting eval via next [perl v5.14]
Why is this considered 'bad'?
There's some confusion over whether or not this is new, or has just surface
because we've started using
use warnings FATAL = 'all';
in some modules at $employer. (I suspect it's been warning for some time
and we've never noticed.)
$ perl -M5.14.0 -wle 'for my $i (qw/foo/) { eval { next; $i.=q{} }; } say
done'
Exiting eval via next at -e line 1.
done
perl -M5.14.0 -wle 'for my $i (qw/foo/) { eval { next; }; } say done'
Exiting eval via next at -e line 1.
done
# why no error?!
$ perl -M5.14.0 -wle 'for my $i (qw/foo/) { eval { $i.=q{}; next; }; } say
done'
done
What's the 'correct' way to exit the for loop?

perlbrew and Image::Magick
I don't know if it's perlbrew specific, or just a good way to encounter the problem but I'm stumped. I'm seeing the same thing with a 5.12.2 and 5.12.3 brewed perl; everything's under Ubuntu or Linux Mint. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions to what I've done wrong, or how to Make It Work I'd really appreciate them. Suggestions to 'use something else' will be more helpful if I know what the 'something else' should be. I'd need drop-in or not-to-hard-to-write replacements for: * Catalyst::Plugin::Upload::Image::Magick * Catalyst::Plugin::Upload::Image::Magick::Thumbnail I'm mostly using is_image() and scaling features.

fork()ing in perl
I've got a colleague here in the orifice, and between us we know how to use fork() but don't understand it as well as we'd like. There's a parent process that does a nice chunky select from a database, does other bits and pieces, and becomes a large process (around 70Mb). Then it forks off little kiddie processes. These all seem to have the same size/footprint as the parent. The parent allocates subsets of a big data chunk to each child. So the children undef some of the bloaty variables they inherited from the parent. They still appear to be the same size! Can anyone out there explain: 1. what's happening 2. how we make the kiddies smaller 3. point me at information on the web. I've STFWd already, but couldn't find anything.

Text::CSV_XS
I've had a quick google and can't find anything mentioned out there, so
I thought I'd ask the other hackers out there if they've had any
problems with Text::CSV_XS.
Let me explain; I've got a text file, where the fields are
TAB-separated, and there isn't any quoting (or more precisely quotes
aren't supposed to be special in any way).
So for example:
onetabtwotabthree
Should give me three fields:
one
two
three
The code I'm using to read and parse this is:
cut here
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use IO::File;
use Text::CSV_XS;
use Data::Dumper;
my ($csv, $io, $columns);
$csv = Text::CSV_XS-new({
'binary'= 1,
'sep_char' = \t,
'quote_char'= undef,
});
$io = new IO::File testquote.csv;
if (not defined $io) {
warn can't open IO for testquote.csv: $!;
return undef;
}
while ($columns = $csv-getline($io)) {
# when there are no columns we've read the file
# Text::CSV_XS is a bit pants when it reaches the end of the file
last if not scalar @$columns;
print Dumper($columns);
$csv-combine(@$columns);
print $csv-string, \n;
}
cut here
and a representation of the file I'm testing with is:
cut here
onetabtwotabthree
onetabtwotabthree
onetabtwotabthree
fake line
my onetabtwotabthree
cut here
THe output I'm getting is a little worrying:
cut here
$VAR1 = [
'one',
'two',
'three'
];
one two three
$VAR1 = [
'one',
'two three'
];
one two three
$VAR1 = [
'one two three
fake line'
];
one two three
fake line
$VAR1 = [
'my one',
'two',
'three'
];
my one two three
cut here
All of these (with the exception of fake line) should have three fields.
As you can see this isn't the case. Has anyone else experienced this?
Is it a bug in Text::CSV, or have I inadvertently created a non-CSV that
looks a lot like one?
Once again, input and comments most appreciated,
Chisel

It's going into a database at my end. I've only just dipped my perl-toes into the XML water myself, so I wasn't familair enough with it to force the external source to transfer data in XML. Anyway, since I got to choose the format this time, at least I chose tab-delimited (since the data should never contain tabs), as opposed to their format which was pipe-delimited, with no restrictions on text fields.

DBD::Pg - insert_id
Sorry to pollute the list with a non-Buffy post, I'm a bit stumped.
I regularly work with mysql and postgres databases.
I use the DBD::mysql and DBD::Pg modules for this work, via DBI.
One piece of functionality I can't find in the postgres database
interface is the equivalent of:
$sth-{'mysql_insertid'}
I've searched the web, and as many postgres documents as I can find, but
I'm still unsure how to find the id of an inserted row when using
postgres.
I'm aware of:
$sth-{'pg_oid_status'}
but I'm not sure how to get from an OID to an insertid.
It would just be really nice to be able to do something like:
$sql = q[INSERT INTO foo (foofield1) VALUES (?)];
$sth = $dbh-prepare($sql);
$sth-execute($barbaz);
return $sth-{'pg_insertid'};
The only way I can think of doing this is to use something along these
lines:
...
$oid = $sth-{'pg_oid_status'}
($tablename) = ($sql =~ m{^insert\s+into\s+(.+?)\s+\(/}i);
$sth = $dbh-prepare(SELECT id FROM $tablename WHERE oid = $oid);
...
Which seems really groady, and prone to breakage.
Can anyone offer some clues?

s/$search/$replace/$parameters
I've been banging my head against a brick wall on and off over this one
now.
I inherited some code that contain the following statement inside two
nested for loops:
eval \$variable_hash-{'$variable'} =~ s/$search/$replace/$parameters;;
I did some benchmarking, and profiling to confirm my suspicions that
eval{} inside for(){for(){ ...}} is slow.
I thought there must be another way.
I found s/(?${parameter}:$search)/$replace/
This was working fine, until I found out that some instances of $replace
contain $1.
e.g.
$search = q[(.+)];
$replace = q['$1'];
$search seems to arrive at the function containing this as a qr'd
regexp.
In this instance $parameters was empty.
In the code I'm fighting with $parameter is usually g or nothing.
If I passed the value 16/07/2002 14:58:09 to the eval() version I
would get: '16/07/2002 14:58:09'
If I pass the value 16/07/2002 14:58:09 to the s///, I get: '$1'
I'd really like to kill the eval() but don't know how to get
$replace expanded in the s/// version.
I've recently realised that you can't have s/(?g:$search)/$replace/ so
I've tweaked my code to check for g in $parameters and do s///g or s///
accordingly.
If anyone has any ideas/pointers/references/solutions I'd really like to
hear,
