comparing to everything in an array?

2002-07-28 Thread Tara Calishain
Gentle Perl people, Sorry to bother you with this, but I can't find the answer in my Pile of Perl Books. I probably don't know enough to ask the question correctly. I know you can compare two variables: if ($foo eq $otherfoo) {things happen} What I want to know is if you can do something that

Pulling multiple items out of a scrape

2002-07-10 Thread Tara Calishain
Is there a way I can pull multiple items out of a page scrape? I know I can do this: my $data = get("http://foo";) or die "ERROR: $!"; $data =~ / this is a (.*) page/i; my $scrape1 = $1; What I want to do is pull five bits of information off the page. I'm reasonably confident this would work:

Howdy, I need to back up two days from localtime and I can't figure out how to do it. Currently I'm doing this just so I can work out the rest of the program: ($day, $month, $year) = (localtime) [3,4,5]; #getting your local time information $realday = $day-2; if ($realday<1) {$realday = 30} els

Basing Perl learning around LWP::Simple

Gentle Listmates, I subscribe to the "pills in jelly" theory of learning -- focus on something really interesting and then get useful information out of the things you have to do to make the thing you find really interesting work. With that in mind I've been learning Perl based on working with L
