Problem with Win32::Console and END block.

Does anyone know a way around this one. I want to set my dos window up with 80 cols and 100 lines, but when I do I break my END block. use strict; use warnings; $| =1; # use Win32::Console; # my $BUFFER = new Win32::Console(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); # $BUFFER-Size(80,100); for (1..5) {print .; sleep 1}

file permissions via UNC path

2003-12-16 Thread John Deighan
I have a Perl script, running under IIS, using PerlEx. It is able to read and write files located on external storage using a UNC path. However, if that same Perl script invokes a second Perl script (using the backticks syntax, e.g. `perl otherscript.pl`), then that second Perl script cannot

Sorry to be so slow in responding. What happened was that I was working with XP for the first time and made a security change and I did it at the wrong place. So basically ended up with no real access to the machine. Ended up having to have the machine rebuilt. I just a few

this is the tricky thing with XP for many users. XP uses NTFS by default, which means that ACL permissions are applied to all filesystems. The Activeperl msi installer is actually installed using the MSI service, run as the SYSTEM account and NOT as your user account, so many users run into

Term::ReadKey weirdness

Hi, I'm writing a program that needs single character input from the console window. So Term::ReadKey seems to be a natural solution. So I wrote some perl code as follows. Usually the program asks for a key, and gets it. Sometimes it wants to check for the existance of a keypress without

Well, I could see a possibility here, but this is total speculation as I do not know the underlying implentation of the sysseek function. Think of the case of function prototypes: sub f (\@) { print 'foo'; } my @a = qw(b c d e f z); f( @a[-2,-3,-1] ); I get this error: Type of arg 1 to
