Hi all,
I am holding on to a PDK 7 licence. There's a need to review an old app
so I have to recompile the source. Unfortunately there seems to be no
way to download a 5.8 binary so I'm trying on the latest release ie. 5.14.

Hi all,
The recent discussion on a date-time module leaves me wondering:
Given that time() only works up to year 2023, is there a successor
module which can go beyond 2023, and earlier than 1900?
What will be the code implication to support this new module?

If you're doing only reading (not write), XML::Simple makes XML a breeze.
XML::Simple converts your xml file into a tree of native hashes and
arrays. No methods to learn.

You have 2 options:
1. DBD::Oracle, which is (iirc) a native call to the database
2. DBD::ODBC which goes through the oledb layer to connect
ODBC is generally to be avoided if you need performance.

Your config file seems to map quite well to a nested hash table.
You will probaby need 2 kinds of parsers:
1. The simple name = value pair parser, which should be easy to write
with regex
2. The nest {} parser, which you probably can use a recursive function
to parse deeply

In modperl, scripts do not terminate once completed. This is for
performance reasons. Even the die() function has been overloaded to
avoid this. As such your global variables will remain initialised at the
start of the next HTTP call.

Not directly relating to the problem at hand, but you may want to
consider using the Readonly library instead. It locks the variable from
changes in the value, but has some advantages over the constant
counterpart.

What exactly is the error you are getting?
To make your life simple, create the Dell folder in the same directory
as BuildReport.pl, and Config.pm in the Dell folder. Then you won't need
the 'use lib' bit.
To use the Config package variable, you need to address them like this:
print $Dell::Conf
As Brian mentioned, global variables are generally highly discouraged,
as it usually leads to sloppy coding that is hard to refactor.
If you want to break up your script for easy maintenance, you should
consider using:
1. libraries, or in perl teminology 'packages'
2. OOP, to abstract the logic
Try reading up on FindBin. It works better on PerlApp-ed executables.

Hi all,
First I'd like to share this little gem I found on the web: Cuba, a COM
object for TAPI.
http://software.techrepublic.com.com/download.aspx?&compid=51135&docid=274060
Ok, now to address my problem: I'd like to load this COM object in Perl.
The key line looks like this:
Win32::OLE::Warn
I will prefer to use this way instead:
$rarray->[1];
The arrow indicates a reference.

Bill's solution is good because you can persist the cookies. If you

There are some instances where the ActiveState packager (paid) works

Have you read the articles on threading in Perl? Install ActivePerl and
read the perlthrtut article. It's good most of the stuff you need to get
started and more.
Anyway you'll get better response when you ask a specific question.

When you create a thread, your main thread continues, so effectively you

thread, it reaches the end of the application code, so it terminates.
When it terminates, all other threads are killed as well. That's wh
