Re: Install Truly Random from CPAN when not listed in the ppm search

Got this from Jeff Hobbs @ Activestate a couple of days ago: ppm install MinGW Then untar your package, and compile it as if you were in unix: dmake dmake test dmake install See this blog post for details: http://www.openkomodo.com/blogs/troyt/ppm-install-mingw -- Mathieu Longtin 1-514-803

RE: Build a regexp substitution?

As somebody else pointed out: s/$regexp/whatever/ If you need the whatever to be evaluated early as well, you could build a sub my $regexp = qr/.../; my $replace = ...; my $replacer = sub { s/$regexp/$replace/; }; Then in your loop: $_ = whateverstringneedsreplacing; $replacer->(); The result o

compiling modules for activeperl

I'm trying to compile and debug DBD::SQLite using Activeperl on windows. What compiler should I be using to generate compatible DLLs? Thanks -- Mathieu Longtin ___ ActivePerl mailing list ActivePerl@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe:

RE: To find if a function exists

Re: ActivePerl Digest, Vol 17, Issue 25

I think the "Killed" comes from your shell, not from your perl process. The shell figures out from the exit code that your process was killed, rather than exiting normally, and tells you so. I don't why you call kill on your process group, but in order to daemonize a process, you should just exit(

Re: threads blocking output on windows

My guess is it's a function of the language. If I write an equivalent program in python, the behavior on windows is totally ordered, unlike perl. So my guess is there is a problem with perl's thread implementation in windows. I've also noticed that if I start a thread in a perl program that is qui

Re: threads blocking output on windows

STDERR is unbuffered by default (that's why I used it), and apparently the threads are executing when they're supposed to, just not printing as they go. --- $Bill Luebkert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A couple of things to try. 1) Try opening a file for > append in > each thread and write your o

threads blocking output on windows

I'm trying to use threads, but it seems threads are blocking the output on windows. I've included a sample program. It starts two threads, and then three threads proceed to print the time elapsed since the beginning of the process. On Windows, the two thread print all their output when they finis

Re: date calculation perl and mysql

If you pick it up from mysql, use the UNIX_TIMESTAMP [1] function. It converts a mysql datetime type into seconds since 1970. You can then do your math on it. Otherwise, I suggest looking at the datetime modules [2]. -Mathieu [1] http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Date_and_time_functions.html [2
