Hi!
I am trying to figure out a simple, Perl way to break down any sting similar
to the following:
$s0 =
"01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,
26,27,28,29";
Or in any numeric order. The string cannot be longer than 55 characters and
end with ",".
Ex:
$s
Hi,
I might know something for an answer. Though Perl is really good and
fantastic, flexibole, etc. it has the bad reputation being hard to
read. An average manager wants his or her stuff to be clean and
neat. Seeing a tricky Perl code with regexp stuff is rather alarming.

Dear Friends,
I have the following code
unless(-d $dir)
{
unless(mkdir $dir)
{
print "Error\n";
}
}
Can I rewrite the above code in the following way
unless (-d $dir | mkdir $dir)
{
print "Error\n";
}
Thanks in advance,
Mallik.

Hi folks,
In the back of my mind I seem to think that you can find out where a function
was called from. What I'm after is:
my %_DEBUG={'new'=>1,'load_file'=>0};
sub debug {
my $caller=
return (defined $_DEBUG{$caller} ? $_DEBUG{$caller} : 0;
}
sub new { # create new track ob

You are so close.
my $caller = caller;
Look at "perldoc -f caller" for more info on the different ways to use it.
Please note that sometime the info you get from caller isn't the real
caller. If you call your debug() function right before a return statement

Maybe it would help if we knew why you wanted to do this. I'm not sure I get the

Where not actually using exchange. But we do take advantage of calendar
assignments that are emailed from outlook to other outlook. Be able to on a

this with evolution unless you are running exchange.

Usually "empty" means "undefined", and if that's what you mean, you

By empty do you mean the null string "":

Or do you mean the value

@{$foo} can be used to work with the array represented by the array

you can combine the two for scalar(@{$foo})

Hmmm... lets assume $keeplogs = 60 (right?). The problem is that $day is
always going to e greater than $keeplogs, because you initialized day that
way. So yes, you need to set an upper bounds.
Maybe this.
