I can now type "search" at the PPM prompt and get a list of the packages at
ppm.activestate.com -- it looks like they've fixed the server error.  This
was probably related to your problem below as well.

Hello,

A simple question.

I am multiplying two numbers and the result is a dollar figure. Therefore,
there must be two numbers after the decimal (45.00 and not 45 - or - 45.50
and not 45.5)

I can do this with Regex , but I assume there is some type of a format
command.

Any help would be appreciated.

PPM upgrade status

[Smith, Eric - WPAFB/YSXOI]

I held off on upgrading to AP 6xx on production machines, due to some
missing modules, such as Image::Magick, but it appears that Image::Magick is
now supported.  Is this the case?

Are there any other issues or missing modules with 623?  Looks like the
modules I use most are supported - CGI, DBI, LWP, Tk, etc.  I don't think
Template Toolkit is available via PPM yet?

Any tips on the upgrade which would make upgrading perl and all installed
modules on a machine easier?

Re: Net::FTP please test

[Greg Wardawy]

>>> "Marcus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/06/01 06:30PM >>>

I have a bit of a puzzle here. Below is a very short, totally basic
Net::FTP script. All it does is connect and then disconnect.
_I_ get the following error when it is compiled with Perl2Exe version
4.03, but no error from the Perl interpreter:  Bad file descriptor at
test_netftp.pl line 11.

However, the Perl2Exe support person gets this error _also_ from the
Perl interpreter. Could some people give it a quick test running
ActivePerl 5.6 and let me know if they get any errors?

Is there anything in this script that needs to be changed from the
point of view of Net::FTP?

--
use Net::FTP;
use strict;
use warnings;

$servername = 'x';
$login_id = 'x'; 
$login_password = '';

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new($servername) or print "I couldn't find the FTP
server. Are you connected to the Internet?";

$ftp->login($login_id, $login_password) or print "I couldn't find the
FTP server. Are you connected to the Internet?";

$ftp->quit or die $!;

print "\nDisconnected";

Thanks,

Win32::OLE::Lite error, HELP, please

[Ember Normand]

Hi,
I was hoping somebody out there might have some insight into this problem.
We are using Win32::OLE to instantiate some COM objects.  We are using
PerlEx on IIS5/Win2K.  Things seem to be working for us, but we are getting
some errors in our PerlEx error logs:

"retrying default method at d:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/OLE/Lite.pm line 156"

I'm afraid that this may propagate itself as an error to our users, because
we do not always get this in the error log.

I looked at Lite.pm and this is a warning when the autoload fails and then
retries.  But I need to know why is this happening?  Am I doing something
wrong in instantiating the COM objects that is causing this error?  Is this
normal?

Thank you!
Ember

RE: Perl with FTP

[Trevor Joerges]

Title: RE: Perl with FTP





The Net::FTP module is part of the libnet module bundle. If you are using the latest version of ActivePerl it should have been installed by default. If you are using an older version or Perl you may have to install it manually. Using ppm try typing "ppm install libnet" from a command prompt.

RE: Install PM

[Ember Normand]

You can use lib to include other perl modules.  I'm currently using IIS5 on
Win2k, with PerlEx.  I've done similar things on Unix with Apache.  You may
need to tweek this a little depending upon your platfor.

Say your .cgi's are all located in, /cgi-bin/, and your modules are located
in /cgi-bin/mylib/, and you want to access, /cgi-bin/mylib/MyModule.pm.

Then in the top of your cgi, with all of your other use statements, put:
use lib 'mylib';
use MyModule;

The "use lib 'mylib';" adds the mylib directory to your @INC.

If we happen to have a cgi in a different branch of the directory structure,
we can still get to our library modules.  For example:  /cgi-bin/mylib/
contains all our modules; /other-cgis/ contains some separate cgis.  To get
to our modules from /other-cgis/ using lib:
use lib '../cgi-bin/mylib/';
use MyModule;

Hope this helps.
Good luck,
Ember

This works in the #! line of a CGI script, as in:

Was part of the question along the way about how to pass variables to a 
script called with "do" while using "use strict"?  I had done this by 
naming the variable $main::varname, because I got it to work that way.  As 
a test, I tried "vars", which worked.  Then I tried "our".  If the called 
script also had "use strict" in it, then the variable had to be declared 
with "our" in both scripts, but it worked.

Instead of worrying about what is & is not installed you can try using
Perlapp to create freestanding exes.

Hi!

First of all I wanted to thak all who helped me with my Questions about SQL
and ODBC.

Now, Im thinking of using DBI module to work with databases intead of using
Win32::ODBC but my hosting provider has only the typical extensions of Perl
installed and they are not helping so much. So I wanted to know if there is
a way to tell a script that the PM file is in other directory so it will
not
look for it in the standard Perl directory. I want ot know this not only
for
the mentioned DBI module but also to use any module I'd like to use without
asking the hosting provider to install it for me.

I'd really appreciate if you could help me here.

Thank you so much!

ok then, last suggestion (the brute force method): instead of installing
modules with nmake install, create the html pod (pod2html), make a
blib/html/lib/site (site/lib for 5.6 builds) dir, move the html files there
and build a PPM distro of the module then install that (or do a minimal
pod2html and figure out how PPM gets that into the html reference).

Nope. What I need cannot be done in perl (well, it can, but I have to
use Tk and similar).
And I'm familiar with MFC and C++, so...

Yes it does. But, it can't convert allready installed PODs to HTML
(installed without PPM).

Nice, but it doesn't work on Win95 command prompt... w/ or w/o DosKey.

Perl, Excel and missing SaveAs

[Petr Smejkal]

Have you ever seen this:

=
OLE exception from "Microsoft Excel":

Unable to get the SaveAs property of the Workbook class

Win32::OLE(0.15) error 0x800a03ec
in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "SaveAs"
=

The following code is working fine, but I recently received a file damaged
by virus infection and something strange happens. I'm sure the file can be
opened and saved as xlText in Excel manually - I've tested it manytimes. I'm
sure the file is opened by my code (I can read the values in the file), but
I'm UNABLE to save the file.

I've tested both types of invoking SaveAs method

$book->Invoke('SaveAs', { Filename => File::Spec->rel2abs("temp.txt"),
FileFormat => xlText, CreateBackup => 0 });
$book->SaveAs( { Filename => File::Spec->rel2abs("temp.txt"), FileFormat
=> xlText, CreateBackup => 0 });

both are working fine, but only with files that didn't get touched with
virus.

The files was successfully cured by NAV2001 (latest virus database) the
virus name "X97M.Jini.A1".

Workaround: open damaged file in Excel, select all, create new file, paste
and use the new file.
DO YOU KNOW ANOTHER SOLUTION HOW TO HANDLE FILES CURED AFTER VIRUS ATTACK?

use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';
use File::Spec;

$excel = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit')
or die "Oops, cannot start Excel";
$excel->{Visible} = 1;

$book = $excel->Workbooks->Open({
  UpdateLinks => 0,
  FileName => File::Spec->rel2abs( 'LW.Gea.LPP.xls' ),
  ReadOnly => 1 });

print ( Win32::OLE::LastError() ) if Win32::OLE::LastError();

$book->Invoke('SaveAs', { Filename => File::Spec->rel2abs("temp.txt"),
FileFormat => xlText, CreateBackup => 0 });

print "\n";
print (Win32::OLE::LastError() ) if Win32::OLE::LastError();
print "\n\n";

$book->Close({ SaveChanges => 0 });
print ( Win32::OLE::LastError() ) if Win32::OLE::LastError();
