RE: Perl-Win32-Users Digest, Vol 15, Issue 4
Can some one explain why bottom posting is preferred to top posting? I view my email with a preview box sorted by subject and order received. I like top posting better because I don't have to scroll to the bottom to see the reply. A. Top-posting Q. What's the most annoying thing on Usenet? Ideally, people would trim anything not needed for context, and inter-post. That eliminates most of the scrolling, and puts the answers right next to the questions. As I read this stuff in the digest form, it doesn't much matter to me whether people top-, bottom-, or inter-post, as with all the quoted sigs etc the whole damn thing's a mess that takes a while to decode however it was originally sent. You use the preview box? What client? Does your antivirus scan the server before the stuff hits that preview? ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

If you don't see a little yellow pearl as icon for the .pl files, you probably didn't associate .pl with perl.exe during the install. I prefer to have .pl associated with my editor, so I can edit the scripts by doubleclicking them. I don't mind typing \perl\bin\perl name_of_script when testing, and for production they're run by the scheduler. ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

$tempstr =~ s/(\r?\n)|(\r[^\n])|(\r$)/br/g; He said spaces, though, so br isn't really what he wants. Is it? And these days, shouldn't it be br / anyway (plus appropriate escape for the /)? ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

What is description,bin_data,filename,filesize,filetype?and how to get these imformaton from perl? They are the names of fields within the table being accessed by the MySQL query. A visit to www.mysql.com to have a look at the documentation might be good. If your Perl does a use DBI;you can send any MySQL command to the database and get the results back into Perl variables. Spend some time reading the documentation for the DBI module. A few 10 minute sessions now and then was enough for what I needed to know when I started using Perl with MySQL. ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
