Yup, I'm signing all my messages the standard way, and seeing as

Just to give a little perspective on things, I started signing
messages after I noticed my mailserver was getting a lot of rejections
due to people sending spam with headers forged to appear as though
they came from (non-existing) accounts on my server. The signature on
my messages verifies that the message came from me and that it has not
been altered, just in case people started picking my username to put
in forged headers.

NET:SMTP Subject Method

2003-08-01 Thread Leon
Hi everyone.  

First thanks for everyones help with the problems I
was having with getting net:stmp to install.  The
person who suggested I install bundle-libnet (or maybe
it was libnet-bundle) hit the nail on the head.  This
installed the net:smtp module.

I have a script that looks like this:
#Send E-mail for Critical Alerts

#Here we define our parameters
$to = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$from = Openview;
$body = Critical Alert;

#Here we use the module $ pass parameters
use Net::SMTP;

$smtp = Net::SMTP-new('10.11.1.134');

$smtp-mail($ENV{USER});
$smtp-to($to);

$smtp-data();
$smtp-datasend(From: $from\n);
$smtp-datasend(To: $to\n);
$smtp-datasend(\n);
$smtp-datasend($body);
$smtp-dataend();

$smtp-quit;

I copied most of it from the documentation but the
documentation doesnt seem to specify how to create a
subject field.  Does anyone know how to do this?  The
link to the module page is right here.

Thx again,

Leon

Whatever the script is doing, make sure you are using blocking calls for your IO(thus 
the script will pause) or putting a 'sleep' in there somewhere.

on W2K Server and W2K Professional on 300/1000/2600 Mhz machines i get
allways 100 % CPU whenever i execute perl scripts.
The scripts are standard MRTG scripts and modified perl

What can i do about it?
Is it poosible to drop the utilization generally?

- Original Message -
From: Johan Lindstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 If it interferes with other programs, you can lower the process priority
in
 the TaskManager.

 But it's probably more convenient to do this when you start the program.
 Use the START command (START /? gives help) to do this. The effect is
 similar to the Unix nice command.


I think that's the approach to take.

I've got a perl script running with lowest priority (created that way using
Win32::Process). It seems to have no effect at all on the level of cpu
utilization (which always shows 100%).
But it *does* mean that this hogging of the cpu is of no consequence.
Whenever my box has to perform other functions the perl process simply makes
way for it.

If you have to make sure that cpu utilization never exceeds, say 80%, then I
don't know how this could be achieved.

Rob

Download the source from:

Copy 'Format.pm' from the tarball to your 'perl\site\lib\Number\' folder.
(If the 'Number' folder doesn't exist, then create it :-)

This module is pure perl so that's all that necessary.

After installing'Format.pm', you can test by running the '.t' files that are
in the tarball, if you like:
perl format_price.t
etc.

Re: NET:SMTP Subject Method

If your just looking for basic e-mail subject then add the folowing line
after the datasend(To line:

$smtp-datasend(Subject: $subject\n);

Oops - and of course don't forget to define $subject somewhere before this.

my $subject = Perl rules!;

If your looking for more control look at some of the other mail modules to
use with Net::SMTP like Mail::Sender, Mail::Mailer, MIME::Lite, and
MIME::Entity (part of MIME-Tools bundle).

Hope this helps.

cgi hangs when there's a problem with my script.

2003-08-01 Thread Roland L Maynard
Hi,

This may be a stupid question, but my excuse is that I am still on the low end of the 
perl learning curve.

My question: Is there any way to speed up the response the interpreter gives when 
there is an error in my script? Sometimes it takes upwords of thirty seconds for the 
response page to be returned by cgi::carp.

I am running everything on my laptop (while not connected to the internet - localhost) 
using win 98, apache, mysql.

Sometimes there is a long wait when executing new (or just edited) perl scripts, 
especially when they are making calls to the database. But when I hit the refresh 
button, they execute quickly (less than a second). 

Any suggestions for tracking down the source of the delays would be helpful.

Also, is there a searchable archive of this list?

Thanks,
Roland

Help with regex

2003-08-01 Thread Will of Thornhenge
I'm doing some work with mail headers that involves converting 
timestamps to a standard format. The following regex works except for 
one pesky trailing close parens.

Here's a sample of the data that causes problems:

==sample data
Date: Fri, 1 Aug 1997 08:10:16 -0700 (PDT)br
===
This is converted to a MMDD.hhmmss format in place, then the result 
is fed to this regex:

==code extract
# handle MMDD.hhmmss +0530 (IST) and similar
while (/\b
(   # $1 to $old
 (\d{8}\.\d{6}) # $2 to datestamp
 \s+
 ([-+]?\d\d\d\d)# $3 to $timezone
 ( \s+ [(]? # $4 if there is an abbrev,
  [A-Z]{2,5}# like EST or (EST)
  [)]? )?   # then just get rid of it
)
   \b/x ) {
   my ($old, $d1, $z1, ) = ($1, $2, $3, );
   if (exists $timeZones{$z1}) {
  my $z2 = $timeZones{$z1};  # obtain the abbreviation
  $z1 = $timeZones{$z2}; # then the numeric value for the abbrev
  my $d2 = date2Epoch($d1) + 3600 * ($tz - $z1);
  s/\Q$old\E/'_' . epoch2Date($d2) . ' ' . $tzabbrev/e;
   }
   else {
  s/\Q$old\E/_$old/;   # just mark it unchanged
   }
}
s/_(\d{8}\.\d{6})/$1/g;# clean up markers
return $_;

The output I'm getting is

==converted sample
Date: 19970801.071016 PST)br

The continued existence of that closing parens is the problem. It is not 
being included in $1, which becomes $old. How can I force its inclusion 
(and why is the regex not behaving greedily?)
