Hi,
I was reading up today on syslog and it gave the following shell script
example of how to set up a logging service:
$ logger -p local5.info "Script terminated normally"
I was wondering what the best way might be to do this from a perl script
that runs periodically - have it append directly

Just out of curiousity I typed in 'perldoc SWITCH' and 'perldoc -f SWITCH'
and found nothing. What is it? (the short answer is fine)
Thanks,

Hi,
With KMail one can use a filter to pipe a message somewhere. I have a perl
script that will parse a filtered message for a date and then (when run at
the commandline) return a "user-readable" result. When I do this in KMail
with a filter I never see the returned result. Is there a way (in t
Hi,
I as trying the File::Spec module mentioned in Learning Perl and noticed
that it fails with a pathname like "~/perl_practice/myfile". I looked at
"perldoc -q tilde" and it does mention a general problem with this. I this
true with this module (or others) or did I just do something wrong?

Hi Perl-Meisters,
My "if" loop didn't work with "last" so I changed "if" to "while", but it
seems that the "redo" doesn't cause the "while" to re-evaluate with the new
value of $destfile. When I run this and type something other than "yes" I
get the message "File foobar already exists..." (even

That makes sense (too bad I didn't think of it). So I guess my error message
was complaining about my use of the three regular expression memory

Hi y'all,
I have a little script that lets me test some regexes. For example at the
prompt I type in: "\b(The|the)\b". I thought it would be better if I could
also include the slashes and then modifiers such as 'g' and 'i':
"/\bthe\b/i" (for example).
So I modified it as below:

Hi Perl Gang,
While doing one of the very basic exercises out of the beginning of Learning
Perl I'm stuck:

I'm intentionally not chomping the words.
