Re: The old \015 problem
The easiest way is don't use binary mode. The ftp software is smart enough to handle it. Good Luck!

(Maybe you didn't strip carriage returns after a network transfer?) Good message. Right on target. The question is, how do I remove those pesky CRs? dave. ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
RE: Editor - finding lines

Find the first one and then hit next for the next one etc. That, IMO is the best feature of Crimson Editor... you can highlight something with the mouse, hit F3 and it takes you to the next instance of it, hit shiftF3 and it takes you to the previous one. And for free, it's worth every penny ;-) R. Greetings; Yes, Crimson is very good. I have it installed on all (8) of the computers I use. But, if you have ever used XEdit/THE you would not consider a normal search feature to be anywhere near good enough. The feature in XEdit displays only the lines/records containing the search string. Similar to layers in an image editor or a DTP program. So, if you can display 80 lines in your window you will see 80 lines that contain your search string, not just 80 lines, one or two of which contain it. Scrolling continues to show only lines containing the search string. ob: perl, Suppose you need to find all the places where child is called and in what subroutines it may be in. The command would be all /child(/|(/sub // {/) and you would be viewing all subroutine headers and all calls to child in the correct order, and only those lines. Xedit was developed back in the '80s and was a big hit when it came out. Previously there was only a line editor. It is just unfortunate that other full-screen editors didn't incorporate some of its features. Get THE and check it out. It is very customizable and may give you some ideas if you decide to write an editor of your own! Good Luck!

That's the thing... I don't want to have to deal with the problems of maintaining a server. My father-in-law is very twitchy when it comes to company information that even has a modem in it. What Im trying to learn I guess. Will myform.html with some kind of HTML like form ... method = post action=c:\perl\mycgi.pl work on a client-ONLY computer that has PERL installed on it. Is the method = post part of the server protocol, or is it something else. Greetings; Well, you can do what you want to do, but why bother? Do you want to spend your time creating a great application or figuring out ways to get around the problems involved in not having a real server? Since you are not attached to the 'net you don't have to worry about all the terrible things you have heard about. As far as the problems of maintaining a server there aren't any. The problems arise because servers are usually connected to the internet and are publicly accessible, and all the things that are associated with that. Yours won't be. If you have the Activestate and Apache CDs you can start in the morning, have both installed and working by noon, and have something running by dinner time. Just tell Apache to listen on localhost port 80. I maintain five web sites using such a configuration and I tried what you are thinking of. Then I found out that Apache runs on Windows. I installed it and haven't regretted it. Good Luck! Dennis ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
