cygwin/activestate/linux

Hi, I hope this question isnt too ridiculous. Ive been using perl for a year or so on various platforms (Sun/UNIX, linux, NT-cygwin, Active State). Do people recommend ActiveState over cygwin for the NT system - how about ActiveState on Linux? Not being a "system" guru Id like to use the simp

$_[0] to filehandle

Im absolutely stumped on this one. $_[0] is either '#ff' or 'red' it doesnt seem to matter. When I print to STDOUT I get what I would expect - the value of $_[0] printed to the screen. BUT when I print to IMAGE I dont get anything. Why does $color not have a value when I print to a file

Re: parsing strings

Another Newbie responding . or, if you wanted the first "word" in $part1 (not necessairly the first 4 characters) you could do: @list = split(/ /, $part1); $part2 = $list[0]; Here you split the $part1 variable on whitespace. The individual strings are then placed in a "list array" called
