Acrobat::FDF and 5.6 vs. 5.8 or 5.10
We've been doing form filling using FDFs, using the FDF.pm. When Perl 5.8 came out, we couldn't quite make it work (I no longer remember any specifics), but we could always instruct our clients to install Perl 5.6. Now ActiveState has taken 5.6 down.

Adding matched files to zip archive
I have mostly figured out how to add files to a zip archive using Archive::Zip::addTreeMatching but I'm getting hung up on what seems to be a subtle point. I have a line that adds files to an archive directory if they're text or INI files: $objZip->addTreeMatching( $workingdir, 'config', "\.(ini|txt)"); But the following line doesn't work for adding what is remaining to another archive directory : $objZip->addTreeMatching( $workingdir, 'results', "!\.(ini|txt)"); I'm sure I'm overlooking something minor; assistance is always greatly appreciated! - Joe ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

I think this is what you want (only slightly tested):
my @semis;
while ()
{
++$semis[tr/;/;/];
}
The tr/// operator counts all the occurrences of the translated
character(s) in $_ (the default), and then you just increment the @semis
array at the index of the number of semicolons found to indicate another
line with that number of semicolons.
Good luck,

I like the suggestion of using the MySQL "INTERVAL" function. But if you
really want to do it in Perl, explicitly get the current time in seconds
before breaking it out with localtime(). Then do manipulations on that
(my $yesterday = $today - 86400;) and break *those* out with localtime()
as well.

Sort not fixing order in equivalent subsequences
Hello all,
I can't find anything in the doc about whether Perl's sort
function maintaining the order in equivalent subsequences. Suppose I have an
array of hashrefs that looks like this:
{name => 'a', status => 0}, {name => 'b', status
=> 1}, {name => 'c', status => 1}, {name => 'd', status =>
0}
and I sort { $a->{'status'} <=> $b->{'status'}
}
Should I expect the result (order of the names) to
always be ('a', 'd', 'b', 'c'), or could it be, for example, ('d', 'a', 'b',
'c') (i.e., could two entries with the same status value change relative
order)?

Fascinating! You have one misconception right off: The "my" line is never executed (not even to make the new variables) if $L is false.
Now I'm starting to speculate: Since your my variables aren't created the second time, the ones from the first time weren't destroyed, and those are the ones picked up (with their old values).
Make the code
my ($nextID, $maxID);
($nextID, $maxID) = @$L if $L;
and see if that doesn't fix it.

Part of the problem with this
code
: if ($_

is you have
no capturing parentheses to populate $1. Toss this code.
You seem to have a
pretty good picture of your data; why not turn that into a regex completely,
instead of doing it piecemeal?
/(\d+)\s+\((\d+)\)\s+([A-Z\s]+),\s+([A-Z]+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+([A-Z]{3})\s+(\S+)/
and have a replace section
that strings together all your captures with tabs between:
s/.../$1\t$2\t$3\t$4\t$5\t$6\t$7\t$8\t$9\t${10}/
You don't need the
parentheses around field 2, or the comma after the last name, do you? If so, you
can put those inside the captures.
Good

mailing listSubject: eval'ing a dumped data
structure
All,
I've got a dumped data
structure. I can print the string I dumped to:
$form_hash_ary_ref =
[
{
'desc' => 'Agreement to Provide
Insurance',
'name' =>
'AGREE_PPI.pdf',
'copies' =>
1,
'field_hash' =>
{
'INS_POLICY_NUM' =>
{
'disp_only' =>
1,
'value' =>
'cpsex1'
} }
}
];
This is fine, and looks just like I
expect. Then I eval the dumped string, so the variable $form_hash_ary_ref should
contain that anonymous array (in the example, containing one anonymous
hash).
I have a debug line right after the
eval
print DEBUG
ref($form_hash_ary_ref), ": @{$form_hash_ary_ref}\n";
and it prints
ARRAY: HASH(0xd5bea64)
I expected the ARRAY (ref of a reference to an array), and then I
suppose it prints the single element of the array, which is a hash ref.
Then I get to the next debug line
@form_hash_ary = @$form_hash_ary_ref;
print DEBUG scalar(@form_hash_ary),
$form_hash_ary[0]{'field_hash'}{'INS_POLICY_NUM'}{'value'}, "\n" if ($debug
&& $next_form == -1);
This prints what I expect
1cpsex1
(Yeah, I should probably have put a space between them.)
But this next line crashes, and I can't figure out why (it's in
ASP, and I'm not getting a Perl run-time error back, just a 500).
my %my_hash =
%{$form_hash_ary[$current_form]{'field_hash'}};
When I lift the chunk out into a console .pl file, hard-code the
string to be eval'ed, everything works fine.
Any clues?

What's that "@@"? Is that a field separator? It looks like you want to sort
first on the part before @@ and then numerically on the version at the end.
@sorted = map { $_->[0] }
sort { $a->[1] cmp $b->[1] || $a->[2] <=> $b->[2] }
map { [$_, (split(/@@/, $_))[0], (split(/\//, $_))[-1]] } @a;
(not tested).
Here's what happens: You use the last (inner) map to grab the stuff you
want to compare and put it into an anonymous array. I always stick the full data
in the first slot, but if you didn't want the whole line, you could do whatever
you wanted (here or in the outer map). The second and third slots of the
anonymous array are the filename (everything up to the @@) and the version
(everything after the last /). Then you hand that array of arrayrefs off to
sort, with a custom function to sort first on filename and then numerically on
version. The results of sort then get passed to the outer map which extracts
just the data you really want; I've set it to extract the original data, which I
put in the first slot, but, as I said, you can do whatever (maybe you only need
the filename and version, which are in the second and third slots).
This is known as the Schwartzian Transform ("map {} sort {} map {}"), used
when you want to sort on some extractible criteria but don't want to extract
more than once per array element (important for long lists!).
Good luck,
Joe

Probably because your regex explicitly requires a non-digit (\D)
at the end, and your example line doesn't have it. Perhaps you want \D*$ so it
finds no more than 7 digits, or if more digits are allowed as long as a
non-digit intervenes, you might want (\D|$).

All well and good; but in your
original post (which I no longer have available to quote, but I believe I recall
correctly), your $a (or equivalent) was the result of a substr operation. So it
has, in fact, been assigned a value (the desired portion of the string). What
you *want* to test is if that portion is the zero-length string, hence the
length() function is what you need in this case.
Defined is for cases where
nothing has actually been assigned, such as when a regex fails (or doesn't have
enough matches to fill all the variables, or one alternation is chosen over
another):
/("[^"]*")|(.*)/;
if (defined($1)) { #strip the
quotes
See?

the *why* (I'm sure someone on the list smarter than I can: answer), but it
works if you change it to:: : my $n = INT_MAX() - 1000;
Simply because Perl handles constants like
built-in functions. When you say "INT_MAX - 1000", that's equivalent to
"INT_MAX(-1000)". Since INT_MAX is a constant function, you just get the max
again.

You haven't actually provided any code, so I can't see what
you're doing that's failing. It sounds like you're using a regex as the

You can use any test. Try
grep { $_ == 10 } @int_array;
and see if that helps.

RE: DBI handle as hash key
Title: DBI handle as hash key
John Deighan wrote, on Fri 3/11/2005 09:14: I would like to use DBI handles as hash keys. I thought
that I'd read: somewhere quite a while ago that Perl was adding the
capability to use: non-scalar values as a hash key. However, when I
try $h->{$db} = $string,: where $db is a DBI handle, the DBI handle
is converted to a string. If: that's the way it works, I'm wondering if
that's a safe thing to do - i.e.: if I later do another $h->{$db} =
$string2, where $db is the same DBI: handle, can I be certain that $string2
will replace $string in the same: hash slot created
earlier?
I think you're really
asking, when I look up $h->{$db} later, will I get $string2? The answer to
that is, "yes."
The other question is whether you
want to be able to iterate over your handles and use them: foreach $handle (keys
%$h). The short answer is, "no," the stringified version that is the key is no
longer a handle per se. However, if your value is not just a string, but an
anonymous list containing both the string and the handle, it works
fine:
$h->{$db} = [$db,
$string];
..
foreach $handle_ref (values
%$h) {
#
$handle_ref->[0] is the handle
#
$handle_ref->[1] is the string

Likewise, you can change the default output type with g_strOutputFormat and

What characters can your variable
names contain? Are they standard Perl/C varnames? Here's how you match a
varname:
[_a-zA-Z][_a-zA-Z0-9]*
If your varnames can look
different, adjust that sub-regex in the regexen below.
So here's how you get the list of
%-wrapped varnames in a string:
my @list = $string =~
/\%([_a-zA-Z][_a-zA-Z0-9]*)\%/g;
But is what you really want to do
to substitute the value of $hash{var} whenever %var% appears in the string? Then
do that the first time:
$string =~
s/\%([_a-zA-Z][_a-zA-Z0-9]*)\%/$hash{$1}/eg;
I'm not sure you need to escape the
%, but it doesn't hurt; and as always, not tested ;).

RE: Win32::AdminMisc::CreateProcessAsUser(.....) on Win Server 2003
One thing to keep note is that CreateProcessWithLogonW will fail on XP (and
probably on K3 SP1 but I haven't tested it) if being launched by a process
running as localsystem (like when you run a script from scheduler). MS
changed something in XP SP2 which specifically disallows localsystem from
using the API call. I have been getting quite a few reports of it because of
people using a free tool I have out there called cpau. I haven't had the
chance to break away from work long enough to really dig into it and also I
specifically wrote my tool to be used interactively, if someone is trying to
make a fake service out of it I would rather they wrote a real service.

All,
An update.
You won't be able to resolve this with the Win32::AdminMisc module Roth
consulting will need to resolve this and they don't appear to be interested
in helping as I have sent two separate emails on 2004/11/18 and 2004/11/21
and have yet to even get a response.
I am pretty sure they are using two windows API calls in this module
"LogonUser" and "CreateProcessAsUser". I worked with Microsoft technical
support to get this figured out and for Windows 2003 & XP we now need to use
only one "CreateProcessWithLogonW". During my debugging with Microsoft I
wrote a C program that did the original two functions to prove the problem
(which was successful) and then after there solution I re-worked my test C
program to use the new function which was the easy part.
I then attempted to use the Win32::API module to call the new function but
after a few days I gave up as part of the problem is
"CreateProcessWithLogonW" requires parameters to be wide character format
(Unicode) "WCHAR" and I
So, after many failed attempts I decided to convert what I had written in
PERL to C.
If someone out here has gotten this to work I'm all ears!

Presumably you also want the fields, eventually. I'd
use
@fields = split(/,/, $lines[0]);
and then you can simply check
if (@fields == 37)
{
}
(36 commas implies 37 fields). That way you already
have the @fields array when you want them later.
Presumably the magic number 37 is a constant defined
at the top of your script?

not being specific enough. The data gets displayed with the times: in
no particular order. I might have::: 10:02:34: 06:05:01:
09:00:01: : Etc. I agree that cmp would have to be used instead of
<=>, but I am not: sure as to how to implement this kind of sort on a
single hash key when I am: doing a foreach loop on all the keys. Any
assistance would be greatly: appreciated!
So you want something like
this?
foreach (sort {
$hash{$a}{'month'} <=> $hash{$b}{'month'} ||
$hash{$a}{'day'} <=> $hash{$b}{'day'}
||
$hash{$a}{'time'} cmp $hash{$b}{'time'} } keys
%hash)
{
# do
stuff
}
Have I missed something in
what you're doing? I'm afraid I no longer have your original message with your
"do stuff" loop.

RE: adsi date type
lastLogon should be returned by AD as a string though that string represents
an int8 value (i.e. 64 bit integer). It won't be displayed as a date
directly, it would need to be converted. I have posted in various locations
how to convert the value to a ctime value and then decode to a string
Here it is again
(http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Joe+Richards++ctime+perl&hl=en&lr=&selm=O
Yge%23r0QEHA.1048%40tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl&rnum=2)

Ah and here is another post I have reused multiple times
It gets you to ctime format which you can use various tools to convert to a
string, I have a perl script below to do it.
joe
I have been asked multiple times for this info in newsgroups and emails
to my joeware email and again at work yesterday so I wrote this up.
Thought I would share with the group here in case anyone cares.
---
First off the 64 bit Integer Time Values (Called Integer8) represents
the number of 100 nanosecond intervals between the time stamp and
January 1, 1601. Don't ask me why, this is just what it is, I am not
even going to attempt to explain it other than I wasn't around prior to
1969 so what happened with computers in 1601 is far outside my personal
scope of really caring. In fact I am not sure anything even existed then
because I didn't, it is up for debate.
1. Remove last 7 characters - Usually this will be all zeros but it may
be actual digits if you care to get down to 100 nanosecond accuracy, you
can figure it out.
2. Subtract off 11644473600
You are now at a value that is the number of seconds since since January
1, 1970. Again I will not explain even though I was around then. I still
wasn't at the point that I worried about time stamps on computers, I was
still flabbergasted that man had walked on the moon 6 short months
previously...
This value was targeted because there are functions out there that use
that format for time already and you can leverage them to convert to a
friendly time/date stamp such as ctime or localtime or gmtime.
So how to do this in perl??
Here is a quick perl script:
___t64.pl___
$t64=shift;
$t64=~s/(.+).{7,7}/\1/;
$t64-=11644473600;
($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $ydat,
$isdst)=localtime($t64); $mon++; $year+=1900;
print "$mon/$mday/$year - $hour:$min:$sec DST - $isdst\n";
When you run it it will produce something like:
C:\Temp>t64 127069827243689315
9/2/2003 - 9:25:24 DST - 1
Use as you wish.
For other cool methods to play with those time fields in Perl check out
Robbie Allen's upcoming book - Active Directory Cookbook. :o)

Re: Microsoft's SP2 Firewall blocking Net::FTP
Thanks Lee for the response, but it's a no go. I guess in SP2 they removed the ability of "fine grain control" of what applications have access to down to port ranges and I think this is where the Net::FTP is being blocked at. >From tests, each time I run the script the port on the local machine changes and I'm guessing that the firewall in SP2 is opening up a port that it sees Perl trying to use for one instance and the next time the same script is used, trying to access on a different port is being blocked. Anywho, there doesn't seem to be a way to open port ranges in the Firewall software for SP2. It's more "run program X, program X doesn't have permission to access internet, Prompt user asking if they want program X to access the internet, user clicks yes/no, that's all user does". You can edit the "scope" of the access rule, but that's all and it doesn't allow ports or port ranges in the manual config of IP's.

Re: MySQL/Perl
from the DBI docs:
the connect string is:
$dbh = DBI->connect($data_source, $username, $auth, \%attr);
where data_source = "DBI:mysql:NameOfDatabase:HostNameOrIP",
where username = "allowable username" (try root first, root should always
have permissions to databases, so the removes a possible user permission
issue),
where auth = "users_password" (default mysql install on Window's the "root"
user password is blank ... very secure!)
Assuming your database is on the computer your running the test scripts from

Re: DBI Question
What I think your looking for are the column names in order (the hash method
returns the column names in a seemingly random order)
So what you want to use is:
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM table1 WHERE 1");
$sth->execute();
my $arrayref = $sth->{NAME};
foreach my $colName (@$arrayref) {
print "\nColumn Name: $colName";}
}
while(my @data = $sth->fetchrow_array()) {
...
...
}
$sth->finish;
hope this helps,

undef.
I'm not sure what is causing the alarm to fire,
it's not happening under the same conditions. Another words, I cannot do
x, y and z and always cause SIGALARM(14) to fire.
I tried to trap the signal, but didn't seem to
handle it at all...
$SIG{14} = 'SigHandler14'; # also tried $SIG{'14'}
no luck there either
sub SigHandler14 {
local($sig) = @_; print "\nCaught
SIG$sig."; exit(1);}
trying to use:
$SIG{'14'} or $SIG{14} = 'IGNORE';
tells me that "No such signal: SIG14"
if I place this above where I: use strict; no
problems, but if I place it below, I get complaints about $SIG not being
defined...how do I use strict and still have access to %SIG?
I've read the man pages but not sure how to proceed
if no such signal, but yet I'm terminating on it under differing
situations.
I'm on a Win XP Pro OS, Perl
5.8.0 (multi-thread) Build 806 by ActiveState.

Re: parsing text
Hello Lee, My first attempt was to use a regular expression, but there are no guaranties on the header format... The real bugger is sometimes the column headers will not have any spaces between them, though this is rare, it is something I'll need to keep an eye on and change manually - I'm not that great of a programmer to tell me script to "make a judgment call on that there column chief". :) My hope right now is just to make something that works with my data 99% of the time and something that will work as close to 100% of the time as long at the column headers have a space between them. Once I do, this would be the first time I'd have the joy of contributing to the Perl community.

Just a thought, fwiw: if you are sure there will be no spaces in your "leaders" - the bit between the row name and the data (...) - and if you can be sure that each column consists of data without white space then you could surely use a regular expression to get at the data? You $text string does have a row (number 6) with a space in the leader: but maybe you get around that by requiring a column to have white space on either side...?

Re: parsing text
Thank you $Bill, I'll have to digest your code to see if there is something I can integrate into the solution. The problem in using a hash to hold the column start positions is that those columns shift based on how much "stat" is placed in the column. For example, the PF column once the total reaches the hundreds, the column will expand wider, pushing the other columns to the right. But there is some promise here, if I compromise on being completely generalized in the parsing. By "generalized" I mean that I supply the parser with no strings to try and match. This way I can use the same parser for any kind of text that is in this kind of format. Thanks again, for the time you spent on this and I think that there is some, well in fact, most of the code after the defining of the section starts and the column starts, do a much better job at pulling out the data than what I had thought of.

RE: CPAN Module UNIX Windows newline character
The CPAN module is your friend. :) It will download and install the modules for you. Either use PPM or CPAN. Using CPAN is as simple as using PPM. Here is the CPAN documentation: http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/lib/CPAN.pm Of course, you could also do it your way. But you are taking the hard road. I used PPM to install Term::ReadKey. As I mentioned before on this list, sometimes you must substitute the double colons for hyphens in the argument list to PPM. I don't know why.

What Rob said... Basically, when IBM(or ?) created the extended characterset, they
reserved 127-161 as non usable characters (there a "few" exceptions). Then, of
course, Mircosoft ignored said standard and put in some "special" characters into
those Decimal bytes places in the windows-1252 codepage. Such characters as the "left
qoute", "right quote", florin, elipse(looks like 3 periods, but is a single
character), etc.
Note that this is NOT the same as Latin-1, Latin-2, or any other "Latin-x" ISO
encoding. All of the "Latin" ISO encodings properly follow this standard of not using
these reserved characters. This is something which is a hugh headache when using XML
since XML parsers "assume" (in theory, we will "eventually" get there) that all passed
data is encoded as utf-8. If you try to parse a file containing either one of the
"Latin-x" or windows-1252 characters in which the XML encoding has not been declared,
then the parser will croak (this is what is is supposed to do by the way for any
newbies). This is to encorage users to start saving all their data in utf-8
format(encoding) in the first place. The basic thing is, most OS's do not support
utf-8 directly in their shells at this point(correct me if I am wrong on this), and
this is the problem you are seeing with the double character "glyph" junk which makes
up a single character when read.
Hope that makes everything clear as mud for ya'll.

win32::api & CoCreateInstance
I am having trouble figuring out the input parameter
list for the CoCreateInstance function. I am a Unix
guru who is new to Windows programming. This is what I
garnered from msdn:
STDAPI CoCreateInstance(
REFCLSID rclsid,
LPUNKNOWN pUnkOuter,
DWORD dwClsContext,
REFIID riid,
LPVOID* ppv
);
But this is greek to me, even with the further
explanation provided by Microsoft at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wcedcom/html/cerefCoCreateInstance.asp
How would I represent the input parameter list with
the win32::api module? I looked at the win32::api
docs, which were helpful, but I am still not sure that
I am doing things right. Here is my code:
use Win32::API;
$CoCreateInstance = new Win32::API('ole32',
'CoCreateInstance', 'SPNSP', 'I');
if(not defined $CoCreateInstance) {
die "Can't import API CoCreateInstance: $!\n";
}
As you can see, 'SPNSP' is what I came up with. It is
an intelligent guess on my part. Am I right? How can I
learn more about these parameters? Thanks for any help.

you can make this into a subroutine really easy, so you can use the code for
all kinds of things where you need to move file types...btw, usually your OS
also has a tool for this.
sub MoveFiles {
my ($srsDir, $fileType, $dstDir, $bShowMovement) = @_;
opendir(DIR, $stsDir) or die "\nCannot open $srsDir to read.\nError: $!";
my @contents = readdir DIR;
closedir(DIR);
my @log_files = grep (/$fileType$/) @contents;
foreach (@log_files) {
rename("$srsDir/$_", "$dstDir/$_");
print "Moved: $srsDir/$_\nTo: $dstDir/$_\n\n" if($bShowMovement);
##
# Note: please read the doc's on rename. This is just a sample on one way
of doing something.
# I'd suggest taking a look at file::copy if rename won't work well for

##
}
}
Then you can call it:
MoveFiles("/path/to/folder/", ".html", "/path/to/put/files/", 0); #Don't
show movement print statements.
MoveFiles("/path/to/folder/", ".html", "/path/to/put/files/", 1); #Show
movement print statements.

Win32::Clipboard and Unicode
Title: Win32::Clipboard and Unicode My goal is to obtain the contents of the clipboard that contains Unicode characters (e.g., latin small O with macron U+014D) as Unicode characters. I'm trying to use the Clip->GetAs method with some success (but it's not fully operational per the documentation as well). Here's a small program to show the point. use Win32::Clipboard; $CLIP = Win32::Clipboard(); print "Clipboard contains: ", $CLIP->GetAs(13)."\n"; Let's say you have the single character "ō" on the clipboard. Then the results are: Clipboard contains: M (0x4D 0X01) If the clipboard contain a single character "a", Then the results are: Clipboard contains: a This behavior is good!! But, if multiple characters are on the clipboard, the function returns either the first or second characters only. For example: If the clipboard contains abc Then the results are: Clipboard contains: a And, strangely, if the clipboard contain ōne The results are: Clipboard contains: Mn (0x4d 0x01 followed by the letter n). Is there a solution or a solution coming for this issue? This seems like a fundamental issue that needs to be solved in order to move Unicode text around in Windows using Perl. Thanks, BTW, using something like the following converts the o-macron to a regular o character, but works with an arbitrary number of characters. tie $CC, 'Win32::Clipboard'; print "CC=".$CC."\n"; Thanks for commenting on this, Joe ** Joe Carmel Chief, Legislative Computer Systems Office of the Clerk US House of Representatives 2401 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 202-225-1182 Fax: 202-225-6826 **
RE: question about grep
I'm gonna de-lurk for this one.
If you look at Peter's example, you will note that grep applies a block-or-something
to a list and returns a list.
You are applying it to the file name, not the contents. Perl grep doesn't read files.
If this wasn't the win32 perl list, I would just advise that you really want the
shell's grep
[ like $lines = `grep "^Status" $project_file` to get the Status line(s) from one file
]
Strictly within perl, you would need to open the file and snarf in its contents to
grep.
Maybe it would look like this (off the cuff, if errors, please point them out, to add
value for readers):
open (IFILE, "<$project_file" ) or die "useful message here:$!";
@lines = grep /^Status/, ;
close (IFILE);
# At this point, @lines has all the lines from $project_file that start with Status.
# If these files are HUGE, it might be better to roll your own match loop with while
() {...}

Joe Dial

Thanks Randy, that worked. I guess my guess my biggest gripe is Windows has enough of
its own quirks, why can't windows users easily find the binaries they need to use free
software modules. (ie, if a module requires a dll, either include it or tell people
how to get it.).
Anyway, thanks again Randy. This is the second (or third) time you have directly
helped me and I really appreciate everything you are doing on the site for hosting
ppms(and up to date at that) that Activestate cannot or will not.

Re: Win32::OLE with Active directory question
This is completely a non-perl response and a non-adsi response which is where the issue is for this question but once I saw the recommendations of ADSIEdit and LDP I had to put in a command line tool recommendation especially since it is one I wrote. :op Check out adfind which you can get on the free win32 tools page of www.joeware.net; I actually script around it with Perl on a nearly daily basis. It does command line LDAP Searches against AD and since it uses LDAP instead of ADSI I am able to easily get all attributes for an object. It will decode several of the main attributes that are binary (Octet Strings) such as SID's, GUID's, etc. You can also/alternatively look at ldapsearch from the iPlanet SDK which has a little trouble with AD sometimes and you can also look at search.vbs which is in the support tools of Windows 2000 but again that uses ADSI and you need to specify specific attributes to return. The answer to your question is the answer to the question "How do you enumerate all attributes for an instantiated object with an ADSI LDAP query?" and I don't think I have ever seen that but it definitely doesn't mean it isn't possible or doesn't exist. I know you can query the Schema and find out all properties that are possible but in most implementations you will find tens if not hundreds of attributes that aren't used on a majority of the objects. joe -- - Original Message - From: "Sean Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Norris, Joseph" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Perl Win32 Users (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 8:34 AM Subject: RE: Win32::OLE with Active directory question You might want to look at the object through ADSIEdit and LDP ...

Steve, since I am not quite sure what you want to do, you may wish to check out
XML::LibXML. This module allows parsing of xml|html fragments into an XML Dom
structure. You can then perform xpath node lookups based on your criteria and then
drill down to get the data you need. IF you want the value of every list item, no
matter what its parent contains, then using xpath would be a perfect fit, at the cost
of adding more code and possibly learning a new skillset (all things considered,
learning to use XML::LibXML is a VERY good thing). Besides that, if someone changes
the html in any way (adding a new attribute to the tag for example), then you would
have to go back and debug your script. Plus, you would avoid a good deal of possible
backtraking and backreferences. This may be negated by the size of the html string
passed since using a DOM increases the in memory size by several times.
I use XML::LibXML to parse jobpostboards currently to drill down into several layers
or pages (using LWP) and verify my clients jobs are all posted by compairing data on
each page to a DB generated list of jobs that should be on the board. If thing you
might go that way, get the ppm from the http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/
repository(there are two repositories now, one for 5.6 and one for 5.8. If Randy or
anyone else is listening, can you give the correct URL for each?)

If the data will never be exposed outside the object then it is probably just data. But you might make the data items objects simply for convienence.

I run dotNet Enterprise, 2K Advanced Server, and RH all from a single XP Pro Dell 8200 Inspiron Laptop. Just beef up on memory and try to stay away from disk intensive ops. You definitely should be able to run a low-impact monitoring system in the background that way if you *must* use Linux. Just from a development standpoint, vmware is damn near invaluable. The freedom to not have to reboot to run another OS is... well liberating. :oP joe ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

So if you explicitly link with method 'a' then you need something for the linker to link with. You can dynamically load a method which involves you writing a non-trivial amount of C/C++ code. But as far as I know you can only do that with dll libraries. Basically you dynamically load the library, search for the exposed methods and retrieve an address for it. Then cast it and call it. But this only works for dlls. However, just because a method exists in code does not mean that something external can call it. An obvious example of this is C++ methods which are actually inlined during the compile process. They would no longer even exist as functions. And I believe during the compile process, the compiler can mark methods as 'external' or 'internal'. And you can't link with a 'internal' method. And except for doing a lot of assembly language spelunking, probably using op code markers, there is going to be no way for you to call an internal method. The simple test is to forget perl for now. Can you write a C program that allows you to link and call that method? If you can't then certainly nothing in perl is going to help you with that problem. And it simply might not be possible (economic rather than physically.) ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

I know I have tried this before with java and MS SQL Server. And I believe I tried it in the past with C++ and MS SQL Server. I never tried it with Oracle so perhaps it is just a failure with MS databases. Nor have I ever tried it on a unix box, so it could be a failure with the MS ODBC shell. However a quick search of the MS Developer Network Library seems to suggest that it does work in at least some situations.

RE: Windows PID

The Parent Process Id? The task manager in windows NT doesn't have that. And I don't think Win 9x has a pid at all so certainly the parent couldn't have one. I am not even sure if windows has the concept of a parent. Which version of windows are you using? I suspect that if there was a way to do that, then it would be done. On Win NT $$ returns the process id of the current process. And that does show up in the task manager. I think it returns something in Win 9x but I think it is meaningless. ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

RE: Sharing new Perl Modules
> -Original Message- > Behalf Of Morgan, Steve H. > > Does anyone know what the process is to submit new perl modules to Active > State? Just as a guess, with the exception of the modules specifically maintained by ActiveState employees, everything else comes from CPAN (www.cpan.org). Actually the modules from the employees go there as well, but the order is reversed (they show up in ActiveState first then show up in CPAN.) Once there then you can request that ActiveState puts it in their build list (ppm repository.) Not sure what that entails, but I believe part of it involves running the 'tests' part of the standard module and verifying that it works. Of course there is probably some subjective evaluation as to whether it is worth their time. > Once they are submitted, what is the process for keeping them up > to date and > posting the documentation? > Via CPAN.

Premature end of script headers
I'm trying to get Soupermail working on WINNT 4, SP6, Apache 2.0.35 (WIn32), with PERL 5.6.1, 631. The configuration file says everything is OK, but I'm getting 500 errors: Premature end of script headers. I have installed the necessary libnet, and SMTP and MIME-Lite are in the cgi-bin where soupermail.pl lives. Anyone run into this and can help? Other perl scripts run OK, and I can send mail with Perl (using sendmail.pl) successfully.

I don't know about you, but I don't personally know the people who run the systems at my bank. So I can't judge their experiene. And it doesn't really matter if there is some odd/obscure exploit in the OS/server when there is telnet with anonymous access open to the internet. A survey several years ago found that 30% of the banks in the US had no security policy. And the banking industry had the highest rate of industries that had strict security in place. > > Then would you rather they ran software on top which opened up 1 or 2 more > holes or would you rather they ran stuff that opened 100s of holes ? > > Less vulnerabilities means less downtime, less maintainence and less > mistakes.

Not really my point. My point is that the system is only secure as the people who run it. It is my understanding that most vulnerabilities these days are not caused by bugs in the systems but rather lack of knowledge/control of the adminstrators running the systems. > > Also the easier it is to secure a server - the more likely it is to be so. > Would you rather have a production server that requires registry > tweaks and > 3 days of patching to be secure or a server that is secure out-of-the-box > (OpenBSD, TrustedLinux, AS/400) or can be totally secured during > installation (bastile, debian, suse, even redhat). > Yes, but that doesn't help much if I can walk in off the street and find the root password for internal systems posted prominately on each display, or even better a complete list of all of them posted on a wall. Consider this as an example, are the printers at your location secure? And I did say "printers". Most high end printers are complete computers including telnet clients. They have total access to the system. And since many admin (and certainly not other personel) don't consider them as such they are almost never locked down. Want to bet that your bank has a high end printer? Another example, I have seen figures that suggest that internal users cause as much as 10 times the damage that external users do. Banks do (at least the one I worked for) a FBI check of all employees. I suspect it is simply mandated by law.

You choose: -Company A that has a complete security policy internal as well as external. And does monthly internal audits and quarterly external audits using rotating security firms each time. New admins are trained and mentored for at least 2 weeks to a month before being allowed to go live. Part of the admins group duty is to daily monitor log usage and search the internet actively for reports of new exploits for all of the companies systems. This company runs windows and IIS. -Company B runs their web servers on unix. And sometimes the admins know how to administer those systems correctly and sometimes not. The vast majority of their time is spent setting up new users, fixing existing users and trying to figure out what happened to the internet connection. About the only time they notice anything is wrong with the web server is when something goes horribly wrong. ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

I can't find anything that suggests that Apache is particularily more vulnerable on windows. At least not with the most recent version. And although that fixed a security problem on windows it was only vulnerable if running bat and cmd files. And I don't know about anyone else, but I am not going to write OS script files that run directly from web pages when perl is around anyways. I haven't ever actually seen a web site that does that. ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

Basically mod_perl needs to be built in the same environment that Apache is. And changes do occur. So I wouldn't try that unless I could find a binary from the same source that provided the Apache binary, and with matching build dates. And I wouldn't be sure that any installed modules would be automatically available to it. It would probably require some messing around to get that to happen (perhaps just configuration changes.) ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

Are you concerned with sysread or perl in general?
Percentage wise there is probably less chance that perl will corrupt your
file than with writing you own code in C. However there are no guarantees.
But if it does at least you don't have to blame yourself.

Not sure what you mean by the "special meaning of &" but the following works

Single quotes (in the connect) do not do variable interpolation. You need
