Dear Gentle Readers, Please be gentle with me as this is only my first day trying to learn perl. I am using an online tutorial, however it must be written for *nix and I am trying to use it on win32. man perl does not even work. I have already found some other differences. For example, the tutorial uses single quotes and to get anything to work I had to use double quotes. There must be other things that are different also. I tried to use the examples directly in an script that would be useful to me. Maybe I should have tried something a little simplier.
Any polite suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely yours, Robert Mark White The attempted script is below Most of the lines below are directly from the tutorial so.....what! I think at least the "#" remark lines below should be correct! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ # By RMW # using activeperl v5.8.0 for Win32-x86-multi-tread # Program to add file1 to file2 # examples from http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/Perl/filehandling.html #name the files $file1 = "c:\Program Files\ArGo Software Design\Mail Server\Keyring_ALL"; # Name for file1 $file2 = "c:\PGP\pgp-all.asc"; # Name for file2 open(INFO, ">$file2"); # Open file2 for output @lines = <INFO>; # Read file2 into an array close(INFO, "$file2"); # Close the file2 open(INFO, "<$file1"); # Open file1 for input print <INFO> = @lines; # Print the array into file1 close(INFO, "$file1"); # Close the file1 --- Outgoing mail is certified virus free by AVG Anti-Virus System Version 6 Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
