RE: GetOpt::Long

Hi Bob, (Offer Kaye, thanks for the reply as well!) I used the method below (local @ARGV = @_;) to get the values of @_ into @ARGV for the use of Getopt::Long. It appears to be working fine like that. I now have another problem with, it appears, syntax. The IF statement is part of a block in the

How to set system limit through perl

Hi, I can set limit on coredumpsize, stacksize, etc. using the limit command. limit coredumpsize 2048 But how can I do the same thing from a perl script? I tried Shell::Source but I guess its only for inherting environment. TIA. --Ankur -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For a

RE: Require / Use

Additionally, the import method defined in a package(or inhertied by it) is not called when you 'require' a module. So, even @EXPORT symbols in the 'require'd module (which are by default imported in the current namespace when you 'use' it) are not imported. See perldoc perlmod for more on this.

RE: GetOpt::Long

Hi Bob, You gave me the following answer earlier: sub foo { local @ARGV = @_; GetOptions(...blah...); ... } If I run it as a seperate script, commenting out the (local @ARGV = @_;) line, then it works. But it does not work when called as a subroutine from within the ma

RE: Require / Use

perldoc perlmod also goes to say An exception would be if two modules each tried to "use" each other, and each also called a function from that other module. In that case, it's easy to use "require"s instead. anyone knows how/why require is useful in this case ?? |-Original Message- |F
