New Win32 help format
Hello perl-win32-users, This is an excerpt from the Activestate change logs for build 630: changelog The style and content of the included online documentation has been extensively revised. On Windows, all the documentation is now provided in fully searchable HTML Help format. Documentation in conventional HTML format continues to be included only for Unix platforms, and can also be downloaded separately. /changelog The new HTML help format is great, and even allows you to browse through OLE type libraries looking for constants and functions! *BUT* My questions are... 1. Where can the downloaded separately conventional HTML help be downloaded? The changelog makes no mention of an URL, nor does the Activestate web site provide any clues that I can find. 2. Can I add to the new HTML help? Can installed modules be inserted? Or do I have to look in one place for the core documentation and another for user installed modules? -- Best regards, ryddler [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cu-online.com/~ryddler/conquest ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users
Re[2]: New Win32 help format
Hello Mark, Thursday, December 13, 2001, 11:35:02 AM, you wrote: EMC Active has a module called ActivePerl-HTML that will generate the TOC in EMC HTML format. The newest version of PPM updates the HTML help when a new EMC module is installed or removed. EMC It would be nice if the Win32 help was updated too. Not sure if there's EMC a way to do it. Yes, I am familiar with the tools of which you speak... I emailed the list with a script that traverses the lib and site directories and creates the html pod for you and then calls ActivePerl::DocTools::WriteTOC() to update the current TOC. If you missed it (it was when the list was choking a few days back and I never received it myself) I posted it on perlmonks some time ago at http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=55079 BTW, this script will convert all the core module pod as well as the siye modules you have installed that contain pod, so it will almost give me the conventional HTML help I was asking about, but it doesn't have the nice framed layout (and stylesheets) we've all grown accustomed to having. And not all the links line up quite right (e.g. the Components directory is absent with out the AS help) It is, however, nice for updating the existing HTML help system after installation of new modules that don't update the POD themselves. I would love to be able to extend the capabilities of the script to include updating the Win32 HTML help. Maybe there's a way... Maybe there *will* be a way ;) -- Best regards, ryddler [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cu-online.com/~ryddler/conquest ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users

I just pulled my hair out over a very similar scenario with the local
web-server user. It likely *is* a security issue, and I think your
answer will be using dcomcnfg to change the necessary permissions
for automation objects. Take a look at this link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/com/security_1xbb.htm
Take care to make sure if you change the settings that you include
*ALL* users who might need to run the application you alter. Once I
had configured the web-server user I mentioned above, I couldn't run
the scripts with admin access for testing and development anymore
until I went back in and configured myself with permissions ;)

Re: PerlScript Engine
AR I had been using VBScript and JScript for my ASP coding on the server-side.
AR Does anybody have any idea if the PerlScript engine is as robust as the
AR Microsoft Scripting engines for ASP coding and if it can be safely used for
AR ASP coding.
AR I am tempted to raise this poser, as I found that ordinary Perl-ASP pages
AR seem to work in my Win NT machine, whereas ADO related pages just shoot up
AR Memory usage to 100%, thereby croaking the machine itself. However the
AR VBSCript and JScript counterparts seem to work fine. I am using Personal Web
AR SErver with MDAC 2.6 on my Win NT MAchine.
In addition to the advice Justin gave, I'd suggest that with
Perlscript in ASP you can also use DBI as an alternative to ADO.
Also you might experiment with adding:
use ASP qw(:strict);
To the beginning of your page. Make sure it's ASP, not Win32::ASP which
I had no end of trouble using. Adding ASP.pm into your pages allows
you to use regular print statements instead of the $Response-write()
syntax. It also gives you the param('form_element') syntax you may be
familiar with from using CGI.pm in CGI scripts.

ryddler

Re[2]: image loading from perl
Hello TECKIES.COM, TCOM print "Content-Type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=myboundary\n\n"; TCOM print "--myboundary\n"; TCOM and then close the boundary. TCOM But IE seems to have a problem with that and says that I cannot load TCOM the file due to security reasons. Netscape doesn't have any problem with that. TCOM What I still don't understand is why IE is doing this. TCOM anyway thanks for the tip What you are referring to here is "server-push" and you are correct, it *** DOES NOT WORK WITH IE *** because IE doesn't support it. Stop pulling out your hair over it. If you want to send out a banner you will have to use the code that Bill outlined, but you won't be able to refresh your banners with IE unless you devise another method.

Re: ppm install goes out of memory
RB Just so you know, I did downloaded and installed ActivePerl 5.6 in the RB beginning. But a friend told me to stick with 522 so I uninstalled it and RB installed that 522 version instead. I don't know if some configuration of RB the 5.6 version was still in the regestry and currupted my 522 version. I have seen in the past where the uninstall *does not* remove the install directory, aand many files are left behind. I ran into problems with incompatable binaries when moving forward from the 522 to the 6xx series. Try uninstalling the 522 again, manually remove the install directory, and reinstall after you have cleaned out the old files.

The problem here is not with your OLE or your Perl install, but
rather the syntax you used. Win32 OLE is a strange beast at best,
but with a little digging you can find your way around. It appears
to me the end result you are after is the count of the items in the
inbox of Outlook. Rather than iterating though and counting each item:
foreach (in $folder-Items) { $count++; }
try this instead:
print sprintf "%s\n", $folder-{'Items'}-Count;
When in doubt, try printing the variable you are trying to access, to
find out what it contains. You may be surprised to find it looks
nothing like you expect.

ryddler

Re[2]: PerlScript Installation
I have a suspicion that this might be related to "Windows Scripting Host" (or WSH) which comes standard with win98 and above, but required IE 3.0 or above to be installed to run vbscript or javascript on win95 machines. There is a separate install of the WSH and more info available at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/backgrnd/html/msdn_wsh_wp.htm You might try running the setup for WSH (linked on the above page) and try running a perlscript again. It might require reinstalling Perl after the WSH is installed. This is all speculation and educated guess, so I don't know for sure if this will clear up your problem, but I think its worth a try... S Hi Sean, S We seem to have drawn a blank on this. S I have now got perlscript working on my 98 using Apache web server - but I S really don't know if it is available using Personal Web Server ( which I S gather is different to Peer Web Services ? ). I wouldn't discount the S possibility of being able to use perlscript on 95 (as mentioned, I've got it S working on 98 ) but you may need a different server. S Surely someone on this list can write something more authoritative than my S offerings ?? S Incidentally, my initial problem was one of server config. It appears that S there was no problem installing perlscript with active perl on windows - nor S should that aspect be a problem for you. Perlscript is probably there S already and you just have to configure a server to deal with it.
