Perl libs polluting root directory

2008-01-19 Thread Daniel D Jones
I'm running Gentoo, which does not yet have version 5.10 in the tree. I downloaded and installed version 5.10 from source. (I'm not certain that this is the cause of the issue, but it's the only thing I can think of.) Now, Perl/CPAN appears to be putting packages into my root directory: root

debugging Perl with the Eclipse IDE

2006-07-29 Thread Daniel D Jones
I'm not sure if this is a Perl problem or an Eclipse problem, but I'm hoping someone here will know the solution. I'm trying to debug Perl under the Eclipse IDE. I recently reconfigured my network, which resulted in changing my local IP from 192.168.1.12 to 192.168.2.12. When I try to run the

math formula substitution and evaluation

2006-07-15 Thread Daniel D Jones
Given something like the following: my @variables = [3, 7, 13, 4, 12]; my @tests = ("2*a+b==c", "c-d+a==e"); I need to be able to evaluate the mathematical truth of the tests, using the values from @variables, where $variable[0] holds the value of the variable 'a', $variables[1] holds the value
