sort w/o using an array

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to do a sort that doesn't involve putting an entire file in memory. This kind of thing is available in apps like syncsort, where you give it arguments and it uses disk space/virtual memory to do the work. All the examples I am finding are slurping it i

RE: unzipping a record at a time

I would say its a WinZip type file, but it only has one file in it. WinZip knows what it is. Has an file extension of .zip, not .gz or .tar (my knowledge here is minimal). I will look into Archive::Zip. I don't think Deflate compression was used so I may have problems there as well. But hey I am

RE: unzipping a record at a time

I am in a Windows environment using cygwin. The zip file has /r/n as a carriage return (so annoying). When I ran the script below it dumped out a lot of bizarre chars to the screen. I guess this is some of the zip metadata. Using unzip -p zipfile.zip it prints cleanly. The doc states: "At this

unzipping a record at a time

I have successfully used zgrep in a script and loved every minute of it (still wet behind the ears). sub pulldata { my $data = `zgrep $key $whichfile`; print $data; } That command ran thru the whole zip file and dumped all the data, which for that app was just one

POSIX::getchar

What am I doing wrong? Here are 3 attempts at trying to use getchar. It seems I am following the Usage, but I guess not. $ perl -e 'use POSIX;$ab="10";$pab=POSIX::getchar($ab);print $ab,"\n",$pab;' Usage: POSIX::getchar() at -e line 1 $ perl -e 'use POSIX;$ab="10";$pab=POSIX::getchar(STDIN);p

Ah, much better. Thanks. >>> "Wiggins d'Anconia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/11/03 10:42AM >>> The web interface is very easy to use: http://search.cpan.org or is there some reason why this must be done from the CLI? If so the limitation of scrolling is usually best handled in the terminal window

using cpan - need info

I am extremely new to trying to navigate CPAN. I do it from a command line. While the screen can dump out so much information the help screen is very limited. Is there a document or the like that can give me more information on using CPAN. When I tried doing a command like i /Text::/ the scre

re: case conversion problem

I am trying to figure out how clever it actually is. I reversed \L\u with \u\L expecting different results and got the same result. Another Company Name Ltd Why didn't reversing the metacharacters change the results. the \L escape forces lowercase When written in lowercase (\l and \u), they affec

How to handle a comma separated file with imbedded commas

I have been using the split command happily for awhile, spliting up based on commas and tildes. However, I had a problem with a new file and noticed my script had created extra fields. If you have a file like this: "Washington, George",909,"Abraham Lincoln",-100.00, "$10,500" How can I appropri

qw versus qx

Is qw for holding list of data and qx is for running commands? Do they both indicate a list context? Thanks, John -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Pulling modules from CPAN & installing

Been lurking for a bit. My first question. Please be kind. I was reading a reply from Janek about using Text::CSV, Text::CSV_XS to simplify splits on comma files. I tried perl -e 'use Text::CSV'' ... and got ... === Can't locate Text/CSV.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.
