We use a method that I really don't have time to describe now, but doesn't use a goto.

I think you just demonstrated why the dispatch table really is the way to go :) For instance, did you remember to wrap the goto in an eval to catch missing labels? It's not that goto is inherently bad, but it has a so very, very, very specific niche in modern languages with other program flow constructs. The only useful example I can think of is in C where you can use it to simplify resource allocation/deallocation. But in Perl... no.

This is what I meant when I said a hash is a good solution to this problem.
You're not really interested in the order, you want to access each element
by a convenient name.
It sounds like a bit of data to keep in memory, so going from an array to a
hash may not be feasible because of that, but if it is it would look like
this instead:
$trade[$i]-{time_elapsed}
If your available memory can take this hit, I'd consider that approach a
lot more maintainable. If not, go with either exported constants or simply
$UPPER_CASE_VARIABLES as named indices into the array.
And to me it looks like the solution would be more clear with each record
being an object, but if you're not familiar with OO, don't start
introducing it in this program. Try it out with something small and new.

In what way are they not accessible?
I have tested a few sample programs made with Win32::GUI and they were not
accessible using the keyboard (I could not move the focus from a control to

RFC: Module: Win32::Word::Document::Writer
Hi all! I have written a module for creating MS Word documents using the Win32::OLE module. It's a wrapper for getting things done a little more easily than using the DOM directly, and it has quite a few workarounds to bugs and problems with Word. Anyway, what I'm most interested in now is name suggestions. My currently best idea is: Win32::Word::Document::Writer It's a bit long, but there are reasons for all the parts: Win32 - because it's windows specific (but happens to be an implementation detail, so I wouldn't mind losing it). Document::Writer - Writer because it follows the tradition of RTF::Writer and a lot of other modules. And I'd like to not hog the entire Word::Document namespace. Word::Document - Document, because there may be other Word::* modules like... I don't know... Word::Dotfile or something. Any ideas on this? FYI: There is also another module, Win32::Word::Document::Converter::FromHTML, which converts a HTML document to a Word document, and Win32::Word::Document::Converter::FromWeb which uses FromHTML to convert many web pages to a single Word document. FYI: This is the SYNOPSIS section. But looking at the interface, I'm inclined to simplify and unify it a little. use Win32::Word::Document::Writer; my $oWriter = Win32::Word::Document::Writer-new(); #Adding text and paragraphs with different styles $oWriter-WriteParagraph(Example document, 1); #Heading 1 $oWriter-WriteParagraph(Usage, 2);#Heading 2 $oWriter-WriteParagraph(Write sentences to the document using a); #Normal $oWriter-WriteParagraph(heading level, or Normal if none is specified. );#newline: new paragraph $oWriter-Write(Add some more text the current paragraph); $oWriter-NewParagraphStyle(Envelope Return); #The style must exist $oWriter-Write(Return to sender. ); $oWriter-SetStyle(Envelope Address); #Change the current style $oWriter-Write(Nope, we changed the style of the entire paragraph); $oWriter-Write(to a footer style); #Setting character styles $oWriter-WriteParagraph(Some more normal text. ); $oWriter-SetStyle(Hyperlink); #A charachter style $oWriter-Write(http://www.DarSerMan.com/Perl/;); $oWriter-ClearCharacterFormatting();#Clear character style $oWriter-Write( -- my ); #Bold/Italics $oWriter-ToggleBold(); #Toggle bold $oWriter-Write(Perl ); $oWriter-SetItalic(1); #Turn on Italic $oWriter-Write(stuff.); $oWriter-ToggleItalic(); #Toggle Italic $oWriter-SetBold(0); #Turn off bold #Bullet point lists $oWriter-ListBegin(); $oWriter-ListItem(); $oWriter-Write(The first bullet item); $oWriter-ListItem(); $oWriter-Write(The second bullet item); $oWriter-ListBegin(); #Nested bullet point list $oWriter-ListItem(); $oWriter-Write(The first inner bullet item); $oWriter-ListItem(); $oWriter-Write(The second inner bullet item); $oWriter-ListEnd(); $oWriter-ListEnd(); #Do this at regular intervals (say, every couple of 10K of text you add) $oWriter-Checkpoint(); #Tables $oWriter-WriteParagraph(Table example, 1); $oWriter-NewParagraphLevel(0); $oWriter-TableBegin(); $oWriter-TableRowBegin(); $oWriter-TableColumnBegin(); $oWriter-SetBold(1); $oWriter-Write(HTML table); $oWriter-TableColumnBegin(); $oWriter-Write(Win32::Word::Document::Writer); $oWriter-TableRowBegin(); $oWriter-TableColumnBegin(); $oWriter-SetBold(0); $oWriter-Write(table); $oWriter-TableColumnBegin(); $oWriter-Write(TableBegin()); $oWriter-TableRowBegin(); $oWriter-TableColumnBegin(); $oWriter-Write(tr); $oWriter-TableColumnBegin(); $oWriter-Write(TableRowBegin()); $oWriter-TableEnd(); #Save the document $oWriter-SaveAs(01example.doc); /J -- --- -- -- -- - - -- - Johan LindströmSourcerer @ Boss Casinos johanl AT DarSerMan.com Latest bookmark: TCP Connection Passing http://tcpcp.sourceforge.net/ dmoz: /Computers/Programming/Languages/JavaScript/ 12 ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

This is a trycky one that bit me too at first.
The variable that holds the bitmap must not go out of scope during the

One simple way of doing that is to:

At 17:39 2002-10-15 -0700, Mike Gossland wrote: I used Win32::SystemInfo to show free memory available. I was surprised to see how much memory was consumed on each pass. By cutting out sections of code, I was able to see exactly what was consuming the memory. I found that LWP ate up a bunch, and substitutions ate up more. Sounds weird. perl -v says what? Could you post a minimal piece of code to see if we can duplicate this? I run spiders to fetch a LOT of urls from dmoz.org, and I don't have a general problem with this. Perhaps it's only noticed when there are huge files being fetched? ( I do restart the program after n thousand urls though, because the memory of a large scalar can't be returned to the system, only reused by perl. One problem I had was with HTML::Parse, where I had to break circular references myself in order to release the memory of a parsed document. ) During my tests on Windows, I found that up to 1 MB was being consumed each time through the loop! I found that my output results file was close to 1MB at this time. I was updating the results file by slurping the whole thing into memory, doing a substitution and writing it back out again. By changing it to read one line at a time, while writing to a different filehandle, the consumption dropped to almost zero. Okay, maybe my first method was wasteful, but I didn't expect the memory to be used just once! What does the s/// look like? I was very surprised to see that when I finished with the memory (by it going out of scope, or being undefined, or set to ), it wasn't being returned for re-use, but that's the way it worked. One thing I noticed with Windows perl is that it seems like memory is effectively released when minimizing the console window. At least that's what it looks like in the Task Manager. Don't know the relation to the internals of perl's garbage collection etc, or if it's just something reported by the Task manager. It happens with other programs as well it seems. /J -- --- -- -- -- -- - - - Johan LindströmSourcerer @ Boss Casinos [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest bookmark: SourceForge.net Project Info - Perl Direct Conn... http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdcc/ dmoz (1 of 30): /Arts/Music/Styles/Rock/ 44 ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

An alternative would be to create the dialog box yourself. That way it's

what I'd do, but if this brute force solution works for you...

Re: compiling perl scripts into EXE and then using the exe through apache
At 16:47 2002-06-06 -0400, Carl Jolley wrote: It won't make things much faster. It will make for some bloated .exe files. Learning to use mod_perl might get your the performance you desire. Have you read this article: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/06/27/ctoperl.html I beg to differ. Depending on the code in the program, the compiled version might run much faster. Not that speed was mentioned in the original post, but... Why would a compiled Perl script run faster? Considering we're talking about .exe files here, I assume Windows. In that case you have two options: PerlApp and Perl2exe. Both package the Perl source and possible the perl interpreter into an .exe file. The script is not compiled into native machine code, it's the same Perl source being run as always. If anything, there would be an extra (but probably minor) performance hit at script startup where the source is extracted before execution. Compare this with mod_perl where there is no performance hit at all at runtime since compilation of Perl source into opcodes (excluding eval STRING) is taken care of at the first invocation, possibly at server startup. However I do agree that the size of the code will be much larger. However, the issue may not performance but rather a (probably mistakenly) perceived fear that using perl source would possibly reveal the source code to the end-user. This is a more valid point. Not that it's secure in any meaningful way, but it's slightly more tamper proof, and more safe from accidental change than text files with Perl source. IMHO, the most compelling argument for PerlApp and Perl2exe is deployment. In simple cases it will transform the installation from a (to end-users) long and awkward process to a simple file copy. Add e.g. InnoSetup[1], and you have a professional looking[2] piece of software (admittedly, this matters mostly on the desktop). /J [1] http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php [2] Yes, to end-users, this matters too. -- --- -- -- -- -- - - - Johan LindströmSourcerer @ Boss Casinos [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest bookmark: Ovid's Journal: Bob and the dog http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/2204 dmoz (1 of 8): /Computers/Programming/Languages/Perl ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

Re: Sending text to other windows with Win32::GUI

Heh! I tried this out and it actually works! :) Cool!
Consider these files:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
#File: test14.pl
use strict;
use Win32::GUI;
my $winMain = new Win32::GUI::Window(
-left = 13,
-top= 32,
-width = 439,
-height = 260,
-name = winMain,
-text = Autoscroller,
);
$winMain-AddLabel(
-text= lblTest,
-name= lblTest,
-left= 0,
-top = 0,
-width = 400,
-height = 250,
);
$winMain-lblTest()-Text(The hwind is: . $winMain-lblTest()-{-handle});
$winMain-Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();
#EOF
And in another file:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
#File: test14a.pl
use strict;
use Win32::GUI;
print Enter the hwind for the label: ;
my $hwind = STDIN;
print \nEnter text: ;
my $text = STDIN;
Win32::GUI::Text($hwind, $text);
Win32::GUI::InvalidateRect($hwind, 1);
#EOF
Run them in two console windows. Look at the hwind in the Window, enter it
into the second program. The text will update the Label in the Window.
(Of course, the window script will have to create a myprogram.hwind file
with the correct window handler instead of having the user type it.)
This was actually a very cool way of talking to a Win32::GUI program. I can
imagine a messaging system using this to communicate between a GUI frontend
and one or many background processes to do the actual work. If you want to
avoid sockets for some reason :)

I'm blowing my own horn here, but if you like UltraEdit, try Perl Oasis: It can be used standalone, but is aware of any file being edited in UltraEdit (so it's a Partially Integrated Dev Environment, a PIDE :) What you can see in Perl Oasis is: * POD - very useful to me since I document all my modules with POD * Subroutines - If you don't use POD, you still get a list of subroutines. * Used and inherited modules (e.g. so you can open them and see the POD) * Bookmarks - special lines in your code, like debug print statements, todo comments etc I use it always when coding Perl, and actually feel that something is lacking when I find it's not running :) The big advantage is that you can get an overview of the code; the structure and order of the subs etc. And when you found the sub you were looking for, double click it and it's opened in UltraEdit.

Re: Embedding Perl
MATA Tech wrote: About two years ago I had heard that there were methods for embedding VB in Perl. At that time, though, I was unable to find any information on how to do it. Since that time, I have a desire to embed Perl in VB, using VB just for GUI creation. Can it be done? You can create ActiveX objects in Perl with the PDK from ActiveState (look for PerlCtrl): http://www.activestate.com/Products/Productivity/Perl_Dev_Kit/index.html#features Or maybe you can access the Windows Scripting Host somehow, then write your stuff using PerlScript.
