I have to say, that I like the idea of an auto-responder for the following
reasons.
1) People will always post a question to the list with out researching.
2) There is nothing anybody can do about #1.
3) A FAQ with every answer in the world does no good if people do not check
it before posting

I don't think there is a need for Yet-Another-FAQ. I think people
I
use Date::Calc;
although there are lots of Date modules available.

I have used this little snippet for a lot of my programs. I know I'm jumping in line
here but maybe this will work for you too:
my @days = ("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday");
my @months =

I've
found the article I mentioned below... In the April 2002 issue of
Linux Journal (www.linuxjournal.com),
"Connect to Microsoft SQL 2000 with the Perl Sybase Module" (pg.62) by Andrew
Trice.
provides an alternative to just ODBC
connections...

If you are used to C , then Advanced Perl Programming by Sriram Srinivasan
from O'Relly's is a good bet. He makes constant reference to C/Java , so it
will help. You can check out this site for a rushy kind of example on how to
use IO-Socket. Another source is the IO-Socket perldoc
http://www.perl
Thankz all
I must remebre to look at the perldoc :p

Hi all!
I'm rather new to perl and even newer to sockets(even though i have been
programming a very long time!). i've tryed to write apps in c, but failed
because of the absence of a good tutorial. shurly it isn't that hard to
create a conection to an other IP and send/receive info!
Any help would
It depends on what you mean by "following month."
How do you define the following month after May 31? Is it June 30?
How do you define the following month after June 30? Is it July 30? or is
it July 31?
February 28 -> March 28? or March 31?
Do you mean last number of the month, exactly 30 da
Is there an ActivePerl.chm with a working index ?
The one in build 630 has a completely empty index :-(

It could scan subjects and first ten lines for
a FAQ, and if it finds one, send the FAQ answer.
So it wouldn't cope with the silliest questions,
but should get most

perl -e "while(1){print rand>0.5?chr 47:chr 92}"

I also will do the following:
Start->Settings->Control Panel->System->Advanced tab->Environment Variables
button->System variables list, select and edit the PATHEXT variable, add
'.PL;' to the variable string, and then click Okay on everything.
