I'm using File::Path's mkpath() function in a script run by Apache on
Mac OS X 10.3 and Perl 5.8.1. It works fine when only creating a
single directory, but as soon as it tries to create more than one
directory level, it fails. Below is the relevant code and

A finer-grained method, supported by Perl 5.8.x and newer, is to use
the DESTDIR option when installing. You need to download and build
the modules by hand, beginning with the normal recipe - perl
Makefile.PL; make; make test.

I've been running the shell command in backticks, but if I can get a
Perl way, I would be much happier.
Minus a module to do this on CPAN, you get to parse the binary
/var/run/[wu]tmp files for the information, whose format is
documented in:

You could always try chmod'ing to 755 /Users/emma/y/sources/authors/
(i.e. your local CPAN directory).
The permission problem might exist in a parent directory; for a complete
test, check each directory. This can be automated with a tool like
'parsepath':

I'm looking for the perl equivalent of a heredoc declaration. For some
reason I can't recall how. In php it would work like this:
my $foo = EOD;
Stuff stuff stuff

Doesn't that look so much easier than heredoc syntax? You can pick
whatever quot delimiters work best for the output of the moment, you
don't have to keep track of the fiddly TOKEN; syntax, you don't get
tripped up if the closing quote has *gasp* proper

I just finished a very simple script that reads out my IP-address from
the ppp0 device, creates a small HTML file and uploads it to my
webhoster so i can access my g4 from anywhere in the world. The script
is the patchwork of a beginner, so any advice on

but it only skips the initial retrieval errors, and just copying all
perl modules in the .cpan directory outside of CPAN just to install
them from the cpan shell doesn't seem to be the solution. I know that

And check the exit status of the close on the written file, as that is
when you learn when the disk is full or whether subsequent processing on
the file should be avoided due to possible

The default shell for Panther is bash. I had become accustomed to tcsh
under Jaguar. That is part of my problem. I'm trying to go with bash
under the new system.
IM(NS)HO, zsh has more tcsh compatibilities, while not suffering from
the various deficiencies that

I don't know how many values you need to sort, but it's probably
advisable to use a Schwartzian Transform. Here's my suggestion:
Which in turn may be slower than a new sorting method:

Still, that is an interesting way to do... just in time sudo rights.
OpenBSD does this for their src and ports system; setting SUDO=sudo in
the /etc/mk.conf causes the Makefiles that control the installation of
software to do the install steps via sudo.

To reveal files in the Finder, the nifty open(1) command is faster than
osascript and supports multiple files easily. Use a shell script or
shell function such as the following. I called it rif and placed it
under the ~/bin/`uname` directory to avoid the script being in the
command path on other
