Re: having trouble understanding the built-in Perl sort with regards to mixed numbers and strings

In this very particular case you should consider turning off the warning, maybe limiting it to the block. On Jun 17, 2016 5:42 PM, "Kenneth Wolcott" wrote: > On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 2:33 PM, Kenneth Wolcott > wrote: > > Hi; > > > > I'm

Re: FFI::Library issues

I recommend looking at FFI::Platypus (which is referenced as preferable in the FFI::Library docs) - it works really well and is being actively developed and maintained. What do you mean by crushed? On Jun 16, 2016 05:55, "Ops Cloud" wrote: > > hello, > > I tried to access

Re: sure would be nice if Perl had trace command built-in

Give devel::trace or devel::tracemore a try :) On Dec 7, 2015 21:32, "Kenneth Wolcott" wrote: > Hi; > > I've inherited a lot of Perl [mostly ActiveState] (and bash) scripts > were the former writers and maintainers did not use "use strict" and > "use warnings" and

Re: sure would be nice if Perl had trace command built-in

I don't know. But I think that worst case you can just download the single file from this library and add it to your application directly. It requires no compilation or anything. https://metacpan.org/source/MJD/Devel-Trace-0.12/Trace.pm --Brock On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 9:39 PM, Kenneth Wolcott

Re: Perl executable problem...

Greetings! Could you give us the text of your script, and maybe a screens hot of you running it? One guess is that you aren't providing the script name as expected, so perl is waiting for input. On Nov 12, 2015 08:54, "Rui Fernandes" wrote: > > > > > > > *Hi,I'm having a

Re: perl6

ng, etc. But I think the above is essential context for any Perl6 conversation, and illustrates how it must be fairly separate from conversations about Perl5. --Brock P.S. Another resource in addition to IRC (which is probably the best place to discuss Perl6) -- there is also a perl6-users mailing

Re: Good books to study perl interpreter

It'd be neat if there was an equivalent to Ruby Under A Microscope for Perl5. That book is FANTASTIC at exploring the internals of the YARV (c-ruby) data structures and general inner-workings. --Brock On Mon, Mar 30, 2015 at 1:13 PM, Hao Wu echowu...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, rakesh, search

I'm afraid a bit more context is needed to identify the problem. Could you post your entire bit of code into a gist or pastebin or something for us to see? On Feb 27, 2015 9:52 PM, Martin G. McCormick mar...@server1.shellworld.net wrote: I put together an anonymous subroutine which

That is the content of your file, with those ' = ' and everything? You should describe what you want the resulting %hash to contain, using the example file you provided. --Brock On 2012.11.14.17.05, jet speed wrote: Hi Is there a way, i can build an %hash from a file as Input. Appreciate you

Re: Unfamiliar calling of a subroutine

, in this case $catalog, always gets passed as the first parameter to the method. Usually people name it $self. The same thing happens here -- so this is equivalent to: my $item = SurfDB::split_line($catalog, $itemid); ... I think :) --Brock -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org

Re: Comparing two arrays

Manipulation which sounds promising, and indeed perldoc perlfaq4 contains the same entry I got to from the perldoc -q ... command above. Actually now that I look at it, perldoc perlfaq contains a list of all the questions. perldoc.perl.org is another interface you can try for similar results. --Brock
