RE: [Boston.pm] My IP

I use dyndns.org myself for some low-value serving from my home. It works, but I run into two issues with it: 1) my comcast IP address rarely changes, so unless I buy a paid subscription I have to log into my account at dyndns and "touch" the domain name there to keep it from expiring after 30

[Boston.pm] IO::Socket::SSL, openssl for Windows?

2003-09-18 Thread Mark Aisenberg
Does anyone know of the existence of IO::Socket::SSL, openssl for Windows? I'm trying to write a program that does an LWP POST using SSL and apparently these modules are required, but not available on Windows. A shot in the dark -- I thought I'd ask. Best Regards, Mark Aisenberg [EMAIL

A co-worker of mine uses a Treo. In metrowest it seems to have good coverage, even working from my basement in Sudbury where Verizon has difficulty. It's a pretty impressive product all around (we're even adding a special app that runs on it to take advantage of our mHook.com service...). I'm

Your '\1' question aside: Your solution requires you to know the number of patterns in the string. For long strings, a regex could be slow. Why not just 'split' on whitespace into an array and then use array indices to easily extract the items you want? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

Manufacturing folks know that "quality" means "conformance to standards". It is possible therefore to have a high-quality Yugo and a low-quality Mercedes (judging the cars only by how closely they conform to what they are supposed to be). So the key thing is how the standards are written. If

RE: [Boston.pm] Prototypes for object methods?

I'm sympathetic to that point of view, to a point (of view, recursively...), however... When it comes to performance you gotta pick your spots. In Perl code the performance hits tend to be in regexing long strings, lack of caching for repeated operations, Perl loading time (for web stuff, best

I've played around with different approaches for the last few years and have decided that the best way for me is have only accessors access the data structures, even within the same module. Even my constructors (of my most recent code anyway) use the accessors. Even though a lot of people would
