I think the easiest way woul be to start an FTP-Server on the Windows-Box
and connect via FTP. This is very easy in Perl. Try to look at the
Net::FTP
Module on CPAN (cpan.org).
hope this helps,

If you know how to program in any other language see 1, otherwise see 2.

Can you tell us a bit more about the problem.
Are there any error-messages, etc?

This should work!
Can you give us a bit more context?
To be precise:
$title = "The Linux Programmer's Guide ";
$title =~ s/\s*$//;
That works.
If you don't get "The Linux Programmer's Guide" there has to
be something wrong in the code around that bit.

Normally all filehandles (except STDERR, I think) are buffered.
That means that if you write a character (or a byte) on a filehandle,
the system does not write it on the disk immediatly, but waits till it's

The problem seems to be that the Oracle Driver does not implement the

First part:
You get the size of an array by using it in a scalar context.
Sounds complicated?
Scalar context means that the left side of an assignment is a
scalar. So you just write:
$size = @a;
and you get the size of the array @a.
Another method would be to get the index of the last element a
You cannot call passwd with the password as a parameter.
(btw. this is a feature, not a bug :-)
Look at the Expect Module (available on CPAN). It lets you automate

This generates passwords consisting of letters (lower and uppercase),
numbers
and printable punctuation (?,.-_[(, etc.) (ASCII 48 - 122).
$required_length = 10;
for ($i = 0; $i < $required_length; $i++) {
$passwd .= chr(int(rand(123 - 48) + 48));

Between backquotes you can use Perl Variables.
Try something like this:
$time = time(); #$time has now the current unixtime
`tar -czvf /var/tar-logs/file-$time.tgz /usr/local/etc/httpd/logs`

You should look at the Date::Parse Module.

chop removes the last character.
chomp removes the last character if it's newline.
To the original problem:
I had a similar problem once.
Maybe your file has DOS-Newlines which are to characters (\r\n).
If you chop, you keep \r at the end which could mess around with
printing it
I didn't quite get what your problem was.

The problem is the \ before the . in your regex.

You the Oracle-Client Installation on the machine
where you want to use DBD::Oracle.
This should be an option in the Oracle installer.
If I remember correctly Pro*C is an option you
have to select in the installer as well.

The problem is that you override the (global) array @words for each line.
You go through @lines and the split overrides @words!
While we are at it... ;-)
You do not need that many loops. The programm will be much simpler like
that:
open(FILE, "yourFileName");
while ($line = ) { #no need to read
$_ is just a global variable (with a funny name).
Many functions or operators just use this variable, when
you not explicitly tell them to use another one.
e.g chomp. chomp needs a variable to work on.
You can supply one like
chomp $x;
If you don't chomp thinks you mean
chomp $_;
and acts exac
you could use the s/// operator (substitute).
try
$line =~s/$IPold/$IPnew/;
This will change the first occurence of $IPold in $line into $IPnew.
If you want to change multiple occurences, use
$line =~s/$IPold/$IPnew/g;
g stands for global.

you just use a different regular expression with split.
In the original example the split was done at the whitespaces
the regex is /\s/. Now you want to split at whitespace colon
whitespace. The regex is /\s:\s/. If you want to allow more
than one whitespace you could /\s*:\s*/ like this. You pro
A hash is a data structure, which assigns a key to value.
In Perl the key is given in the curly braces. A key/value
pair is entered like this: $hash{$key} = $value (assuming
the variables $key and $value, hold the key and value
respectivly).

that's easy.
$index =~ s/^0*//;
if $index contained leading zeros they are gone, otherwise
nothing has happened.
