download window instead of executing
hi all, just a quick questions: why do I get a download window when I'm trying to execute a .pl file in the browser? It's something very simple but I forgot how one fixes this.

Win32 Shortcut?
I can't seem to find win32::shortcut... I'm assuming some other ppm-available module now has this feature, but I haven't found it yet. Anyone have a suggested solution?

It is part of the libwin32 package. It is already installed if you are using ActivePerl. One problem is that it is not using POD for documentation, so the docs will not show up in the HTML docs, and perldoc will come up empty too.

control M's
Hi everyone, I wrote a cgi script in PERL which won't execute. I'm told it's because I have control M's at the end of each line, and that this happens when editing programs in Windows (which I do, with Notepad). I found a free program on the web (http://www.scriptarchive.com/scripts/snippets/rm_cont_m.pl) which claims to remove them. I ran it and uploaded the new program, but it still doesn't work. It may be that there's another problem with the script, then again, maybe the control M's are still there. I'd like to rule out the latter. Can anyone advise me on dealing with this? How can I remove them? How can I tell if they're there or not? How can I type up a script so that they never appear in the first place, etc.? Thank you, Chris - Boardwalk for $500? In 2007? Ha!

Re: control M's
One of several ways is Vi the file in Unix (assuming you try to run it there) then Shift : 1,$s/press Ctrl - v M//g This will remove all Ctrl-M in the file You can script this very easy Saludos Javier Javier Nunez Principal Systems Support Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 (480) 375-6263 DHL ITSC Americas - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon Jun 25 13:40:43 2007 Subject: control M's Hi everyone, I wrote a cgi script in PERL which won't execute.

Re: control M's
We use a free editor, Metapad Lite (http://www.liquidninja.com/metapad/download.html). This enables you to save files as DOS Text (CR+LF), Unix Text (LF), Unicode or Unicode (Big Endian). Are you sure the CRs are the problem?

Re: control M's
Or you can get Crisom editor (download it for free) and save it on Unix format and that will take the Ctrl-M as well Saludos Javier Javier Nunez Principal Systems Support Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 (480) 375-6263 DHL ITSC Americas - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon Jun 25 13:40:43 2007 Subject: control M's Hi everyone, I wrote a cgi script in PERL which won't execute.

RE: control M's
The problem likely occurs when you upload (assuming you meant ftp when you said that. Ensure you ftp the file in ASCII mode when going from windows to unix or vice versa.

Re: control M's
That's a common problem with DOS versus unix file format. U can use the commandline tool dos2unix to convert it after u upload it. DOS creates new lines explicitly with the sequence CRLF while unix just uses LF (making the CR implicit). A simple workaround so that the file remains valid on both Windows and unix is to add -I/dev/null to the shebang line at the beginning of the script. This is a fix because it's the trailing CR at the end of that line that's messing up ur script. The system is looking for an interpretor literally named /usr/bin/perl^M. It's blindly splitting the line on LF characters. The -I/dev/null will eat the CR at the line's end allowing the system to locate /usr/bin/perl. So like this: #!/usr/bin/perl -I/dev/null This doesn't hurt anything since /dev/null can never affect ur program on unix and it simple doesn't exist on Windows. U can tell if they're there or not by viewing the file with vi/vim on the unix box. It will print them as ^M if present.

Are u trying to run the script as a CGI and have it print its output to the browser? If so then u don't have the script in the web server's CGI directory. If u want to have the script execute anywhere, not just in the CGI dir, u have to enable script aliasing in the webserver's configuration so that it will recognize .pl as an executable extension. -- REMEMBER THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ---= WTC 911 =-- ...ne cede malis 0100 ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
