use strict

Hi all Please I'd like to know how can a program like the 'camel program' be compiled and run, because there are spaces spliting keywords! It seems it's because of the 'use strict', but I don't see any relation between them. The camel book, doesn't tell anything about spaces inside keywords eit

curly braces

Please Why does code 1 work, but code 2 doesn't? (the diference is the ; after print) After all, is it posible or not to put a block in place of a expression? Thanks in advance Silvio CODE 1 - WORK $bissexto = ; chop($bissexto); $bissexto and { print "OK\n" }; print "end\n"; CODE 2 - DOESN'T

open +>>

Hi all The camel-book and perldoc-page says about "open": You may also place a + in front of any of these three modes to request simultaneous read and write. +< is for read/write updates +> clobber the file, reread only what you wrote What would +>> do? the same as +< ? the camel-book

backticks

Hi all I've just did that, and it worked: [silvio@tico perl]$ cat saida cat: saida: No such file or directory [silvio@tico perl]$ perl -e '$x = `pwd>saida`; print "[$x]\n";' [] [silvio@tico perl]$ cat saida /home/silvio/perl It seems the backtick operator calls the shell, otherwise it wouldn't b

to double or to single quotes? that's the question

Hi all Just to confirm some thoughts I had... Since double quotes need to be searched for variable interpolation, while single quotes don't, I should always (whenever possible) prefer single quotes instead of double quotes in my programs, because: print 'hi all'; would be faster than print "h

autoflush on network connection

Hello all Trying to learn a bit of networking, I am using the module IO::Socket::INET just as shown in the camel book (3rd edition) pg 439-441. I have a client process (that sends data), and a server (that receives those data). I send data from the client to server with the lines: $mensagem =

typeglobs and references

Hi I have been reading the camel book; it's really fantastic (and funny), but I still didn't understand some topics. One thing that's not so clear is about constants made with typeglobs and references; that's in page 295 of 3rd Ed. I have made the following program to test them: #!/usr/bin/perl -

Re: typeglobs and references

Thank you very much for your help about Perl. There's just something I didn't get yet. When I write *PI = 5; What am I really doing? I think I was assigning (not attribing :) ) the value 5 to the scalar slot of the glob PI, since 5 is scalar, but when asking for a print "$PI"; all we see is a

Fun With Perl list ???? where is it ? :)

Hi all Is there actually a Fun With Perl list? (ok, this list is funny already, but not officially :) ) I think I learn better when I'm having fun (that's why I think so easy to learn Perl reading the camel book, and learning everything else by the o'reilly books) If there isn't a list, perhaps
