sendmail arguments

I have inherited a Perl script which sends and parses email. I am having trouble trying to figure out what the "-oi" and "-oem" arguments do in the sub below. Can anyone help? Thanks John sub mail(*) { my $top = shift; open(MAIL, "| $sendmail -t -oi -oem") or die "open: $!";

Splitting on white space

Hi everyone Can anyone please tell me why the code below is not splitting the 'two three'? If I use '\s*' instead of 's{1,}' it works but I would have thought the code below would have been more precise. my $string = 'one two threefour'; my @temp = split(/ \s{1,}/,$string); my $count_tem

Passing variable to second file

I have a script that is divided into 2 files for manageability. Each is about 700 lines in length and the second file is called using the 'Require' method. Is there an easy way of passing a variable from the first file to the second? Or should I be looking at using @Export or something similar? T

Date calculations and daylight saving

I have a script that calculates difference between dates and it works well. However if the 2 dates straddle our daylight saving times (March, October) then the result is either plus or minus an hour compared to the expected result. I am using date::parse (which uses Time::Local) to convert the dat

I have a perl script that calls another perl script. Originally it was one big script but then I decided to split it into 2. It works fine but was wondering what the following error message refers to: "second_script.pl did not return a true value at first_script.pl line 235" This message is gener

RE: time manipulation

I performed a similar process using 2 modules: Date::Parse (to convert date strings to unix seconds) POSIX (strftime function) and Perls standard localtime function to convert back from unix seconds to a formatted date string POSIX is a standard module so your system probably already has it. J

Newbie needs help changing date format

Hi I have a list of dates that have been converted to epoch seconds, processed and then converted back to a string (using timelocal). The resulting date format is:- "Wed Mar 16 22:10:16 2004" What is the easiest way to convert this format (or epoch seconds) to "16-Mar-2004 22:10" - preferrably u
