RE: pronunciation guide

On a Tandem, all processes begin with "$". As in: "$WRITER is writing to the file; $BILL is the process that monitors the bank balance". You'll definitely confuse Tandem people if you call the dollar sign "string". -Chris -Original Message- From: George

I'll take this a step further. Search Google for "de icaza .net". Miguel de Icaza produced the GNOME desktop and founded Ximian/Mono. He's quoted all over the place discussing what .NET has to offer beyond the MS arena, for Open Source and wide interoperability. I think that de Icaza e

I'm on a fishing expedition. I've discovered that a FIT framework exists for Perl at http://search.cpan.org/author/INGY/Test-FIT-0.11/lib/Test/FIT.pm , which is an implementation of Ward Cunningham's user-test FIT framework de

TCP/IP question

I think I'm missing a concept here... I built a very simple TCP/IP server like the one on p. 441 of the Camel book. But my server only ever sees the first message from any given client. Subsequent messages to my server are ignored. Does anyone know what I have to do to get my serve

RE: Linux, Perl, [open,star]office

A few days ago I wrote a little Perl script that sticks commas into text files such that Excel can read them as CSV files. It's a really simple-minded use of the "substr" function, but it gets the job done. Particularly useful if the text data in question is always in the same format byte

I always find that I learn best by attempting to solve a practical problem, then using the parts of the manual(s) that apply to the problem. My first Perl program was for my own amusement. It throws the I Ching for you and prints the hexagrams to STDOUT. That was cool, it had ma

basic question: handling input to TCP/IP server

Hello all... I've implemented the TCP/IP server at the top of p.441 of The Camel (3rd edition) Chapter 16, and it's working fine. That is, it opens the port I tell it to, and other processes connect to it and happily send it stuff. (This is using IO::Socket::INET). But now I'm a little c
