So you can't install Test::More? Then Storable again? Then MLDBM again?

If this is on a remote server, on which you don't have root access, you
are probably "knocking your head against a wall".  Some of these modules
need to use the c compiler to make themselves. If you do have the right
to use the compiler, install all the modules to your home directory, and
change your @INC so that your module is found first. You have to make
sure that when @INC is searched, it finds your homemade version.

Maybe you could ask the sysadmin to install the packages properly??
That would save you some trouble.

Thank you!! Nits are good.

I agree that variables declared "just in time" tend to be more
self-documenting. I had some code manageability issues early on, so I was
moving quite a few variable definitions around. I am going to correct these
and see what else I can find that is like this; e.g., your comment about
foreach my $var, i.e.,:

 applies to a couple other foreach loops too and I am going to comb it some
more and correct the known bugs (and even nits :)

By the way, I am starting to test with a greater variety of HTML and noticed
a fourth bug, but that is another post.

None, but that's not what I said. I suspect that the configuration settings
for CPAN.pm are messed up, because "yes" was answered to a configuration
question that asked for a directory name. The "corruption" was introduced by
human error. Reconfiguring CPAN should fix that problem.

Agreed. But I am not sure CPAN.pm is where the user should look. For my setup I have 
~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm, which appears to be where the options are set, and if not 
there then it reads the defaults from CPAN.pm, so theoretically even if one blows away 
the global CPAN.pm then the option could still be set wrong.  Does anyone know if 
there was a major change to how all of this was setup?

To see the location CPAN is reading config info from you can do the previously 
mentioned at the shell (top line):

cpan> o conf

Thanks,

I wasn't sure if that was causing the original problem or not.

My original problem was that I couldn't install the Net::SMTP::Multipart module.
 http://search.cpan.org/author/DROBERTS/Net-SMTP-Multipart-1.5/
I installed several modules that day, no problem. 
I was doing it as root.
I have Net::SMTP installed as well as all of the other required modules.
I tried doing it command line, via cpan module, and even did a 
use lib {/path.../);
use Multipart;
Just for kicks to see how it'd go but every time there was an error 
about $VERSION ( see snip below )

Any ideas?

It might have nothing to do with the code, but with the request.  The default method 
for browser requests is GET, running cgi usually requires POST.  Although there are 
probably easier ways, one Q&D approach would be to make an almost empty web page:


  
function CallScript() {
  document.MyForm.submit();
}
  






Call this to launch your script with the appropriate request type.

The above file works great on my NT server but how do I send it to
multiple people? I've tried turning the addressee string into an array, in
multiple ways. An example is the following:

@addressee=("joe_employee\@my.com","jane_employee\@your.com");
foreach $i (@addressee) {
open(MAIL, "|$file $addressee") || die "can't open sendmail";
print MAIL "To: $addressee\n" ;
print MAIL "From: tom_employee\n" ;
print MAIL "Subject: Email Message\n\n" ;


AND THEN I've put the closing brackets in multiple places... but I get the
error that NO RECIPIENT is specified. Sent to dead letter file.

It works if I only specify one addressee.

Help, again???

Try this instead:

my $mysql = Net::MySQL->new(
hostname   => $DBHOST,
database   => $DBNAME,
user   => $DBUSER,
password   => $DBPASS,
);

But why are you using Net::MySQL instead of DBI?

You can use the transliteration operator for this.  You will have to use the d 
modifier to tell it to delete the characters you specify.  Just put this into your 
code:

while ($line=)  # This is where you're reading in the file
{
 chop $line;

 # this is the transliteration.  Look for any " < > or , characters
 # and delete them. 
 $line=~tr/"<>,//d;

 # now, you can do your splitting, etc...   
} 
 
If you prefer, you could of course use the tr on the array elements, after it was 
split.

Jared

$line =~ s/\<|\>|\,|\"//g;
or
$line =~ s/[<>",]//g;  # but you may have to backslash the chars here, not sure 
exactly, try it and see.
Or you could use HTML::Parser, we had quite a discussion about it a few days ago.
It is really handy and it look like that is what you are doing , at leats in part.

GDBM_File help!

2003-01-28 Thread Marija Silajev
Hi, 

this is the output of profiler showing the bottle neck of a program.


 count wall tm  cpu time line
14788 0.00 0.0082:sub check_positive{
14788 0.072474 0.2683:local $a = 0;
14788 0.072475 0.2784:my ($addr) = @_;
14788 0.630970 0.7185:tie %hash,
"GDBM_File",$whois_record, &GDBM_WRCREAT, 0644;

 11666247 547.4904 679.270086:foreach my $cidr (keys %hash){
 11666247 595.2517 736.350087: my $block = new Net::Netmask($cidr);
 11666247 581.9811 698.190088: if (($block -> match($addr)) != 0){
14788 28.59408 28.2500089: return $cidr, $hash{$cidr};
}

so the idea is the following:
I previously form %hash written in GDBM_File. This hash has network
address (for example 170.60.0.0/16) as a key and as value -the network
name. In this subroutine I compare ip address against this network
address to see if ip address match network (with the help of
Net::Netmask module). If it matches I give back the key and value to
main program.

There is 14788 ip addresses for which I am checking. And in the hash
there is around 1519  keys .

Total time in this subroutine at the end is around 1900 sec...around
half an hour, what is a lot!

How can I more efficiently iterate over GDBM file or any idea how to
make it working faster. Will 'while' loop make it faster?

Thank you for any suggestions.

Regards,

Marija

RE: :SMTP::Multipart Module

2003-01-28 Thread Dan Muey
Hello, 

I'm really hitting abrick wall here. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to get this Module installed:
 http://search.cpan.org/author/DROBERTS/Net-SMTP-Multipart-1.5/

[ console output below with step by step actions ]

The line in the Multipart.pm file  :
our $VERSION = sprintf("%d.%d", q$Revision: 1.5 $ =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)/);^M
Seems to casue an error about not being able to modify the Variable.

With that I couldn't even get past Makefile.PM
But if I remove the our I can do the make dance.

But then I get an error about not finding a file in @INC. 
The directory exists 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd/auto/Net/SMTP/Multipart/

.packlist
(root@q42(/home/dmuey/perlmod/Net-SMTP-Multipart-1.5 ):243)# 

but the file our.al doesn't exist there or anywhere on the server. Obviouosly it 
didn't get installed properly.

I also did all of this with version 1.4 with the same results
I even gid used gmake instead of make for kicks to same thing
Has anybody ever run into this before?

I'll hand out the prestigious genius of the day award for anyone who can get this :)

Thanks

Dan

Trouble with hash lookup

Should be a simple question. I am trying to only print the element of the
hash, that matches the $user string but it prints all of the elements. What

$user = "jsmith";
my %lookup = (

for my $key (keys %lookup) {

The reason it does this is you are using numeric comparison (==) instead
of string comparison (eq), and all of the keys are numerically equal to
$user.

Ed is right, this should be 'if $key eq $user', but you're not using
the hash as it should be used. This is similar to accessing array
element 83 as follows:

my $index =83;
for my $i (0 .. $#array)
{
print $array[$i] if $i == $index;
}

You can just do:

print "$lookup{$user}\n";

HTH,

Rob

And you might was well design something that scales while

%user = ("jsmith" => 1, "djones" => 1);
my %lookup = (

 );

for my $key (keys %lookup) {
 print "$lookup{$key}\n", if defined $user{$key};

   do you want to replicate their data? if so you have to
   find a way to hook their db, which I've never done, but
   I would think they want to you see their pretty ads so
   they're discouraging non-http access through port 80.

   but if you can find a way to exploit port 80 and derive
   info from there, you'd be left with parsing/displaying
   the data in your own way instead of maintaining your
   own dbase.

   btw, I'm not advocating hacking.

   what you want can definately be achieved with perl.
   if you particularly want to use a dbase to acquire
   the skills, DBI is a realy good choice. It's free
   and if you run BSD, is provided in the port tree.

You can direct any further questions to me privately
if you like.  Though others might have better ideas...

Re: help me to replace ascii charecter with some other ascii charector or text

For starters, it looks like most of your replacements should use the tr///
function (also known as y///).

http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perlop.html

For seconds, $ln=~s/'/'/gis; looks like a no-op to me.

This worked perfectly on UNIX, but I also had to substitute $i for
$addressee before it would work on the NT server.

NOW MY NEXT PROBLEM...

The NT machine will only read the first line of "the_file.txt."  The 'cat'
command doesn't seem to work on NT. (The UNIX machine has no problem reading
and printing the entire txt. file.)

THANK YOU! Someday I'll know enough Perl to help somebody else on this
group.

RE: :SMTP::Multipart Module

2003-01-28 Thread Dan Muey
Hello, 

It seems from what I find on google is that
The error :
Can't modify subroutine entry in scalar assignment ...
Has to do with the version of perl.

One person upgraded and that problem went away but a different on ecame up.

One message was a module author saying 
'Are you using 5.005? Rats I guess I need to build backward compatability into the 
module.'

So now my question is this : Before I go and install perl 5.6, 
is there a way fo rme to modify whtever is causing that so that 
I can add backward copatability myself?

Thanks

Using both __END__ and __DATA__ is redundant as the DATA filehandle will
read from either (unless you have require'd this from another program.)

You don't have to backslash these characters as they are not special in
regular expressions

$line =~ s/<|>|,|"//g;

However using tr/<>,"//d is faster and doesn't use a regular expression
so you don't have to worry about which characters are special.

You _should_ be use'ing warnings and strict when developing your code.

It is more efficient to undef the input record separator and slurp the

All of your substitutions use the /s option which determines wheather
the dot (.) matches a newline or not.  Since none of the regular
expressions uses a dot, the /s option is not needed.  All of your
substitutions use the /i option which affects how alphabetic characters
are matched but most of your regular expressions do not contain
alphabetic characters.

> print $ln;
> open (H, ">$ARGV");

You should _always_ verify that the file was opened correctly.

> print H $ln;

It looks like you want to modify the file "in-place" and perl provides a
method to do this.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

$/  = undef;
$^I = '.bak';

while ( <> ) {
print "$ARGV\n";

s/\nfile://gi;

Instead of opening the file every time the subroutine is called, you
should open it once in the main program.  You could store the hash in
memory and then write it back out to the file if any changes were made.

You probably need binmode

perldoc -f binmode


my $file = '/suidbin/sendmail -t';
my $var  = 'the_file.txt';

open FILE, $var or die "cant open $var: $!";
binmode FILE;

Re: help me to replace ascii charecter with some other ascii charector or text

2003-01-28 Thread R. Joseph Newton
Kais,

Those are not ASCII characters.  Nor arem ost of them control characters.  They are 
extended charcters, based on an unsigned, rather than signed, char type.  ASCII proper 
only extends to character 127, the upward-pointing triangle [or the character so 
rendered by my command environment].  The other characters also print at my DOS 
prompt, and all seem to be accented or otherwise top-decorated latin characters.  
Unfortunately, these do not translate into ASCII very well in many formats [including 
e=mail].  See the readout below for an illustration.

I took the part from the opening bracket to end-of-line from each of those second 
lines, and used ord() to get the ASCII/Unicode value:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

open IN, ";
close IN;
foreach my $Line (@Lines) {
  my @Chars = split //, $Line;
  print "\n$Line\n";
  foreach (@Chars) {
my $num = ord($_);
   print "$num\n";
  }
}

If you want to actually use the non-ASCII characters contained in MS Word, you will 
have to learn the wider character set used.  You may also need to come up with a list 
of MS Word control characters.

I'm not sure what the solution is.  I assume that part of the work of a locale object 
is to abstract the difference by mapping an appropriate slice of unicode to the first 
127 characters, according to usage within the language group.

Unfortunately, you were extremely vague about which characters you wish to change to 
which.  What are the results you expected to see?  This may be part of the problem.  
It is NEVER a good idea to try to code a problem until you can explain in plain 
language EXACTLY what you want to see happen.  An ameoba is a genius compare to even 
the most sophisticated processor.  No compiler or machine can fill in the blanks for 
you.  They are machines, not mind-readers.

Please write, include a little less code, but explain exactly what you expect each 
line you do send to do.  People will be able to help you much more.

Joseph
