Archive::Tar problems....

My name is Chris, HI! I'm working on a backup application... and i'm using your Archive::Tar perl module (version .22). My question to you is, how can i "flush" the in memory archive after it has reached a certain condition...say like a certain size. My problem is this.

What is \000?

What/when/where/how might one come across the ?character? '\000' -> that's backslash followed by three zero's. I ask because i've just come acress a regex for parsing valid directories and it has that as an m/...[^\000].../ (as in, we don't want to find this...) Thanks -

Re: Difference between $count++ and ++$count

Yes sir there is! And it's quite a goober if you ask me, but very useful. I'll show the difference by example. my $SOME_CONSTANT = 2; # NO MAGIC NUMBERS! (hehe) my $pre_increment = 0; my $post_increment = 0; my $pre_result = ++$pre_increment + $SOME_CONSTANT; my $post_result = $post_i

Re: Errors during FTP

Not to sound bashing, but i have to agree with Ramprasad.. Think about what you're posting. Nobody like wild-goose chases. Try checking $@ for an error along with $! if something is going on. $! $OS_ERROR $ERRNO If used in a numeric context, yields the current value of the errno variable, id

I'm trying to declare a variable $log that is a reference to an array that will contain the small amounts of data that need to be logged throughout a backup script i'm working on. I'd like to declare this scalar reference in the BEGIN function, but i can't use it outside of the BEGIN function if

A chroot problem

Hi again! I'm narrowing down my initial problem, and i believe i've found the error to be occuring due to the fact that before the Net::FTP calls are made, i have made a call to chroot! Run the test script below (please please please please) #! /usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Net

Re: Any ideas [on how to redirect STDOUT to an array]?

Sorry for the ambiguity. What i am trying to do is set up a very rudimentary logging system. I want to log everything that is directed to STDOUT. And the way i'd like to try to do this is have an array declared that will "read" STDOUT and store the contents to the array rather than print them t

Any ideas?

How might i go about pointing STDOUT to store each line in an array? Could i 'tie' standard out to an array? (i don't know how to use tie) Thanks -Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
