If you edit the file /etc/hosts and place an entry such as: catnip.local12.34.56.78 where 12.34.56.78 is the IP address of catnip.company.com. This can be discovered by either nslookup catnip.company.com or dig catnip.company.com The computer might need to be rebooted after editing the hosts file. You shouldn't need a reboot. Also... just as an idea, did you check that the links aren't hard coded? The difference is that a link such as: a href=/some/path/file.html will be requested from the root directory of the current domain, while a href=http://catnip.local/some/path/file.html; would request the file from the host catnip.local. This likely to trivial of a solution, just thought I'd ask. Unfortunately, many of the links automatically convert too URLs beginning catnip.local. Via VPN (the way she does it), there is no catnip.local.

Watch out for line ends in the source file that is being counted. Perl

contains the single linefeed that UNIX expects. But I have been fooled,
especially with Unicode's two new code points representing line ends.
Also, I believe that the snippet suggested could stop if there is a
blank line in the file! Although, it would still contain a linefeed, I
rarely trust interpretation of such.

I forgot to mention that $file is set via a form. On first run of the
script, it prints a form to the browser asking for a file name, which you
enter, and then it's submited and sent to the script. The way I understood
it, when open tries to open a file that doesn't exist, it creates it.
Thanks,
The source of $file doesn't really matter, but I hope you are
sanitizing that input!
Open(GAMELOG, $file);
@entries = GAMELOG;
close(GAMELOG);
This snippet will not create the file if it doesn't exist. As mentioned
before, you can open a file for read or write. When opening for write,
the file will be created if it does not exist but what would be the
point of this if you are only reading the file?
If this is actually what you want, add a test routine that creates the
file if it doesn't exist:
if (!( -f $file )) {
# create the file
open(FH, $file);
close(FH);
}
open(GAMELOG, $file) || die $!\n;
@entries = GAMELOG;
close(GAMELOG);
If you want to just test for the file instead of creating it too:
if ( -f $file ) {
open(GAMELOG, $file) || die $!\n; # you may still die with
permission problems even though it exists.
@entries = GAMELOG;
close(GAMELOG);
}
-- cs
You've had your answer. in your script 'Open' means nothing and the
file won't be created even if you use 'open'.
#!/usr/bin/perl
chdir /tmp;
$log = game.log;
open LOG, $log or die $!; # --- !
print LOG success !;
close LOG;
open LOG, $log;
for (LOG) { print };
Make it a rule NEVER to open a filehandle without testing.

Re: Undefined subroutine main::sendmail
Did you try typing o conf urllist push ftp://myurl/ ? ftp://myurl/ is not an actual url. It's telling you Put _your_ url here. If that doesn't work (okay, it might not be intuitive), try this: mv ~/.cpan ~/.cpan_BROKEN sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell and then let things re-initialize. Or simply `o conf init' at the CPAN prompt. No need to be moving things around. This will allow you to configure CPAN, where you can select your sources, first by geographical region, then by source. Here's what it looks like from start to finish (please not that '%','#','cpan' refer to the shell prompts and should not be typed: ** NOTE: If you don't have a root password or don't know what it is, please search for Mac OSX set root password or similar in google http://www.google.ca % su Password: Enter you root password here. # perl -MCPAN -eshell cpan o conf init . cpan config stuff. Accept the defaults (hit return) until you get to either a prompt to use an existing MIRRORED.BY database or fetch a new one If it asks you if you want to use a MIRRORED.BY database that exists on your system and you accept the default yes ([y]) you will not be prompted to change your sources. So hit `n' here and `return'. You will then see this: First, pick a nearby continent and country (you can pick several of each, separated by spaces, or none if you just want to keep your existing selections). Then, you will be presented with a list of URLs of CPAN mirrors in the countries you selected, along with previously selected URLs. Select some of those URLs, or just keep the old list. Finally, you will be prompted for any extra URLs -- file:, ftp:, or http: -- that host a CPAN mirror. (1) Africa (2) Asia (3) Central America (4) Europe (5) North America (6) Oceania (7) South America Select your continent (or several nearby continents) [] Select your region, mine is (5) North America so I hit `5' and `return'. It then breaks it down further: (1) Canada (2) Mexico (3) United States Select your country (or several nearby countries) [] Again select the option appropriate for you. Which will then give you a list of sources in that region: (1) ftp://cpan.chebucto.ns.ca/pub/CPAN/ (2) ftp://cpan.mirror.cygnal.ca/pub/CPAN/ (3) ftp://cpan.sunsite.ualberta.ca/pub/CPAN/ (previous pick) (4) ftp://ftp.nrc.ca/pub/CPAN/ (previous pick) (5) ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/CPAN/ (previous pick) Select as many URLs as you like (by number), put them on one line, separated by blanks, e.g. '1 4 5' (or just hit RETURN to keep your previous picks) [] It is beneficial to select multiple sources from this list so that if one fails it will skip to the next. Choices should be space delimited, meaning a space between each choice. I've had problems with some on the list so I type `3 4 5' and hit `return' If you know of another URL that you would like to use that was not on the list you can now enter it or simply hit `return' to continue: Enter another URL or RETURN to quit: [] This is the last step in configuring cpan and you will now be back at the cpan prompt. Note that if your region does not come up with many sources, you can select multiple countries or even multiple continents the same way you select multiple sources. Hope this helps. Cheers, cschilbe

Re: Advice for moving perl script to OSX server
Apache is standard under OSX. And, yes, supports .htaccess files. If you are running this on Linux already, the transition should be simple. - Configure apache - Copy over scripts - Create .htaccess and .htpasswd files (or whatever you specify in configuration) - Go to town Apache has many other authentication modules that may suit your needs. As OSX is *nix at heart, there are several options for authentication really. Not to mention FREE. You can find apache auth modules by searching for authentication here: http://modules.apache.org/search There is no reason you should need to purchase a license to do authentication.

For years we have been using a perl script I wrote that helps teachers to develop home pages. Recently we have begun sharing this script with other school districts in our county so they could help their teachers as well. However, two of the districts use OSX for their web server. Here is where I need a push in the right direction... For us we run the script on a Linux server running Apache. Another district we have helped runs it on a Windows 2000 server. So far so good. I am wanting to give this script to the Mac districts but need help with the issue of authentication. Since school districts have hundreds of employees, it is easier to tap into an already existing password file, rather than have the staff create new usernames and passwords to use the homepage script. On our Linux server I use the built-in htaccess feature to handle the authentication. The htaccess file protects the folder holding the script. When a teacher tries to access the script, htaccess prompts them for a username and password. I then have configured the htaccess file to look at the already existing password file on the server (which is also used for their email accounts) and it authenticates them. On the Windows 2000 server we did a similar thing. We used Windows built-in ability to set privileges to protect the folder with the scripts. We then used Windows built-in basic authentication to tap into Active Directory to authenticate the teachers. What I am wondering is if there is some kind of built-in authentication for OSX. If so, where can I get more information on it? Does it sound like I will be able to use it as I have done with the other operating systems (that is point it to some already existing username/password system)? If that does not work, I also understand that Apache can be set up on an OSX server. Is this correct? Would that be a reasonable solution to the authentication problem, since then I could use htaccess as before? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have now also found that running this command in Bbedit: print `which perl`; Produces the following error: MANPATH: Undefined variable. That is a very strange error to be produced by that command... I thought maybe it was a problem using the `` syntax to execute via the shell so I tried system() syntax, same results... I then thought maybe it was that bbedit choked on any system command but, print `echo test`; Worked fine... Very strange must have something to do with a hard coded environment in perl. C.
Re: DBI and DBD::MySQL (Panther)
Mike, I was encountering the same errors as you in my quest to install DBD::mysql and discovered that under the following setup: Custom installed Perl 5.8.1 RC3 - No multi-threading ggc 2.95 - via /usr/sbin/gcc_select 2 Removing /sw/lib/perl5/Storable.pm /sw/lib/perl5/auto/Storable I was able to compile and install Bundle::Msql which installs DBD::mysql. I cannot isolate wich of the above steps actually fixed the problem but I noted this difference in the make procedure: Running Mkbootstrap for DBD::mysql () chmod 644 mysql.bs rm -f ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -L/usr/local/lib dbdimp.o mysql.o -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -o ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lm -lz chmod 755 ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle cp mysql.bs ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bs chmod 644 ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bs Running Mkbootstrap for DBD::mysql () chmod 644 mysql.bs rm -f blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib /usr/local/bin/perl myld MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -L/usr/local/lib dbdimp.o mysql.o -o blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle -L/usr/local/lib -lz As you can see the first one carried on past the previous error point. I have a feeling that Bundle::Msql would successfully install under the default apple environment without switching gcc, without recompiling perl, and without removing Storable... I simply combined the methods of previous posts and hoped for the best. Later resorting to a memory of installing Bundle::Msql elsewhere. Someone should likely attempt to install Bundle::Msql under a clean OSX (Panther) install and report back on the outcome... cschilbe
Re: DBI and DBD::MySQL (Panther)
Edward, I edited /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Config.pm, switched perl back to the apple install and had no problems building DBD::mysql.

Re: DBI and DBD::MySQL (Panther)
I would think this should stay out of the perl sources since it is not a bug
of perl's... Thoughts?
I also just discovered that this fixes a build problem with Data::Dumper...
Or so it would appear. It's possible this will effect several packages. The
patch should not be put in all the perl sources should it?

Hopefully, this will go into 5.8.2.

Is there a patch that could go into the Perl sources themselves?
