this is part of the contents for test.pl

$REQUIRE_DIR="c:\\taform\\cgi-bin\\";
push(@INC,$REQUIRE_DIR) if $REQUIRE_DIR;
require 'test2.pl';
sub1();
and so on . . .

this is part of the contents for test.pl

sub sub1    {
     print "firstvar=$firstvar";
     print "secondvar=$secondvar";
     my($firstvar)=1;
     local($secondvar)=2;
     print "firstvar=$firstvar";
     print "secondvar=$secondvar";
}

basically what i want to try out is the scope of variables using 'my'
and 'local' and whether they behave the same when the subroutine is in
the same program and when the subroutines are in separate files( which
will then require us to use -> require 'filename'; )

The problem is when the program reaches line 3 of test.pl the following
mess. appears :-

test2.pl did not return a true value at test.pl line3. <IN> chunk 3

and the program stops.

i have make sure that path is correct and i had even omit the value of
$REQUIRE_DIR since both of the file is in the same dir.

thanks in advance.

POD: "plain old documentation".  It's a means of bundling module documentation
in the source code (where it stands some chance of getting updated whenever the
code does!). You can view this documentation with 'perldoc'. For starters, try:

$ perldoc perldoc

If your O/S complains about 'perldoc' missing, then you may have to hunt for
'perldoc' wherever you keep 'perl'.

When you've digested that, try:

$ perldoc perlpod

This quickly (and probably badly) written piece of code below will do what
you want.  It will check to see if data.html exists, if it does, we work
with it, otherwise we work with the template file.

It pre-loads the entire file into an array, checking each line as we go to
see if we have a match on our search string. If we do then we replace it
with the new string.

The routine can be improved but I've kept it simple to demonstrate.



#!/usr/bin/perl

$searchstring = "<!--insert string here-->";
$newstring = "whatever string you want to insert";
$docpath = "/usr/httpd/htdocs/";

if (!-e "$docpath/data.html") {
	 open(FILE,"$docpath/template.html");
} else {
	 open(FILE,"$docpath/data.html");
}

while (<FILE>) {
	 if (/$searchstring/i) {
		 s/$searchstring/$newstring/oi;
	 }
	 push @lines,$_;
}
close(FILE);

open(NEWFILE,">$docpath/data.html");
print NEWFILE @lines;
close(NEWFILE);

Hi,there. I need your help. I am using perl to wirte a cgi scripts. I
need to insert a string into a data file called data.html . Suppose a
tag <!--insert string here-->is embeded in data.html . I want a string
insert after this tag.  What if this data file is not exist before but
how it can be created from a template file such as template.html?

It is concluded that I want my scripts to :
1.Create a new file from a template;
2.Insert a string into somewhere in this newly created file;

Thanks a lot.

Here's what you want:

	 $_='My email address is <<<web@...>.';
	 print "$_ \n";
	 print "Match  worked :$1:\n" if /<([^<]*)>/i;


Broken down:

<  - matches a literal '<'

  ()  - contains the pattern returned in $1

     []*  - defines a class of characters matched as a string

       ^<  - matches anything BUT a '<'


So the pattern says "Match '<', then zero or more characters which aren't a '<',
and finally a '>'."

I've been trying to figure out what is going on here:

  the first example returns  > only

$_='My email address is <<<web@...>.';
print "$_ \n";
print "Match  worked :$1:\n" if /(<*>)/i;

and this example  returns <<<<>

$_='My email address is <web@...<<<<>.';
print "$_ \n";
print "Match 3 worked :$1:\n" if /(<*>)/i;


with the regex <*>  I understand it as meaning, matching <, then * zero or
more of the previous characters.  I don't see why the first example would
not return <<> instead of just >.

If someone could shed some light on this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Hi!

I'm trying to make this regex work like I want it to.
This is as close I've come so far.

while ($form{msg} =~ m/\b\S{41,}?\b/)
   {
   $form{msg}  =~ s/\b(\S{40})(\S+?)\b/$1 $2/;
   }

This does what I want it to but only with letters and numbers.

I want it to match any 'words' no mather what charcters except space
and \n. Please be gentle..I'm only on page 30 in my Owl ;)

If you are just testing scripts, it might be best to stay away from
Microsoft's personal webserver. It's pretty clunky and a little overpowered
for that use.

Instead, try Omnihttpd, available at pretty much any large shareware site
(www.shareware.com works) or at http://www.omnicron.ab.ca/httpd/

Super-easy to install, very configurable, but not overpowering and not a

Do you have server software on your local computer?
If not the following will apply.
If I am tryng to test my perl programs on my local computer, I have to go thru
my local server (not the remote). I think I remember getting a free copy of

But I would like to add a screen that takes in Credit Card info. I would
need to include fields other than "textfields". I can't seem to get the
submit button to include or acknowledge my new fields.  Do I really have to
send it to another script?
Seems like there should be a way to include another screen for something
other than straight text boxes.
I'm trying to include drop down and radio buttons.
Anyone have ideas???
Thanks
sheila

Not sure I understand completely...a credit card number is just
digits...and therefore would be fine in a text field...or are you looking
for "type" of credit card (Amex Mastercard, Visa) in a dropbox?

Either way, some clarification would be good.

Thanks,

Greg

I assume you are using Win32 Perl.  If so, you can either use the
Win32::ODBC module or ADODB.  If not, you need to lf you are on Unix, you
might go to CPAN and look for the DBI module.  I don't know much about it,
but you may want to look at Sybperl.  Here are a few links...

I think that other than a minor segment in a Unix course at the local U
here in Vancouver, there is nothing else local.

I'm hoping to build a website with exercises available for free, so if you
have any that are not copywritten (not from a book), please feel free to
submit them.

Hmmm...hard question. I personally went from HTML to Javascript then to
Perl, and I'm still struggling along there.

In the past though I've tried to teach myself things like Pascal (yeah, I'm
old) and Visual Basic. I've accomplished more with Perl than I have with
any other language, and I feel like I have a better grasp on the beginnings
than any other language...

I'd say Perl is an appropriate place to start.

I've noticed some of the questions that have been posted are not getting
answered, and I apologize. I'm fairly new to Perl myself and just don't
know everything.

The list is still small (though growing - about 2 subscriptions a day),
once we get more people here the answers will be flowing a little quicker
I'm sure. If anyone knows of people who have some Perl interest or
experience, please invite them in.

Thanks,

Hi,

i have problems with the perl -d (debug mode). If i want to view the
variables if i type in "V" all variables are listed. But when i use "|
V" (it works fine with the LINUX Perl !) to stop after each page the
Win32 perl version makes no return (one long line is printed !) !

how can i fix this ?

and how can i view a single variable ??

clear about what has been discussed.  But I want to know the
details after reading the following post.

Thanks.

Let me be the first again.

In order to link to a MS SQL server using ODBC, what is the
preferred way of doing this?

1/2) use Win32:ODBC;
1). Sending a $db-sql(); Query.
2). How to retrieve the info returned and/or error info?
3). Appending a new record?
4). Updating an existing record?
5). Deleting a record?

I'm a bit in the dark here, which must be apparent to all.

Conrad

Heya all,

Looks like the list is popular, so far 30 people have signed up in a couple of
days.

Please feel free to start posting, there are enough people on here that it's a
good bet someone will reply. I'll be posting the occasional Perl Exercise or
scripts that I've been working on for the list, as well as working on a
Perl-Beginners webpage. But I can't keep up a conversation myself.

If anyone wants to, please feel free to post what you've done, or at least links
to a webpage.

As for now, I just finished my first attempt at graphics manipulation with Perl
at:
http://silverspin.web66.com/greg/experiments/worldmap/worldmap.shtml

If anyone wishes to find out more, email the list.

Thanks,

Greg

Perl Beginners Mailing List - The PBML is a list for the close-to absolute Perl
beginner, allowing more experienced (and very kind and patient) Perl programmers
to help those along who have an interest in programming Perl. This follows the
beginning ideal of Perl...free for all, public source and information, and
giving of time and effort to make it easy for others.

Beginners will be helping beginners so that both can learn, with aid from more
experienced people popping in to check for fresh ideas and give a helping hand.
