RE: Interested in thoughts on how to hand off to mirror of script on another server
You might take advantage of any of the Perl modules that provide access to the Scheduler and use that to schedule the task on the other machine. The other machine could then watch the primary box and when it comes back up self-terminate. -- Benjamin D. Wiechel Xerox Global Services, Inc.

Of course, if there's a power outage or storm, equipment or network problems, that script isn't *always* going to run. Since my computer is on a UPS, I am thinking that somehow I would be able to find out when the server is shutting down, send an email to another server that would activate the same script there, and have that script do the job until the first server is back up. Of course, depending on email won't work if it's the network that's down. I presume people do this all the time -- do they ping? -- but I've just never done it and I'd be interested in how you'd go about it, what cautions to watch out for, any examples or approaches I could at to do this in perl on either a Windows or Linux box.

Re: Rename does not work with Windows
Thanks Mile and other supporters. It's was my mistake, I found that the file was not in the current working directory. All working fine now.

Re: Extracting source from exe's
I think if you ask the PDK mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), specifically Jan Dubois, he may do it for you if you can prove that the EXE is really produced by you (i.e. name every file in the exe that was compiled probably along with some specific information that only someone who had the original file would know). I doubt very much the process used to disassemble the EXE will be posted to any of these lists. Hope this helps. Trevor Joerges - Original Message - From: Mark A.

RE: Installing XML::Parser
Rex, Perhaps using CPAN might get you around the problem. Assuming you have CPAN installed and configured: perl -MCPAN -e 'install XML::Parser' Cheers, Carter. -Original Message- From: Arul, Rex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 12:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Installing XML::Parser I am having a weird problem upgrading to the recent version of XML::Parser. Through PPM, I gave a 'ppm verify --upgrade XML::Parser' command and it waits for some time, does nothing (not even an error message) and then exits. When I issue a query, the old version is what exists (2.27). So, I thought I would remove it and install it afresh, because my PPM SEARCH command shows an updated one available (2.31). However, when I try removing it,it says PPM needs this module and hence you cannot remove it. I am in a Catch-22 situation. Any words of wisdom would be gratefully received.

RE: [OT somewhat]: getting Win32 API info
Title: [OT somewhat]: getting Win32 API info -Original Message- From: Peter Eisengrein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 08, 2003 8:40 AM To: Perl-Win32-Users Mailing List (E-mail) Subject: [OT somewhat]: getting Win32 API info I would like to work with Win32::API and/or Win32::API::Prototype but am having trouble with getting info. How do you know whatfunctions are available and what parameters they expect. I'll be a very old man before I find this on Microsoft's website. Has anyone writtena perl module (or function within Win32::API?) that can "read" a dll and tell you this info? Oh yeah, I want to write this on my WinME (yuck) machine which does not have quickview. Any help is greatly appreciated. Pete, From my understanding, you really needa copy of the header file for the API to get what you need. The DLL itself is not required to contain information about the calling parameters. What APIs are you looking at? The Microsoft ones are actually pretty well documented at msdn.microsoft.com (if you already know the function name). All this said, I would look for existing modules before you try to use the API's. If you need to use a specific API and are getting stuck, let us know and we can help you with the code.
