Re: Subroutine return value

Put this line as the last line executed in your subroutine: return $sum; That makes it explicit as to what you want the subroutine to do. Don’t depend upon some obscure behavior of Perl to save a few keystrokes. Your program will be better for it. > On May 14, 2025, at 4:15 PM, Daryl

If you are reading a file with normal line endings (e.g., “\n”), then you want to parse each line as “key: value” using a regular expression, save the job id, current status and current phase values. When you have all three, you can check the status and phase values for the values you are lookin

What is the record separator? How can we tell `Job ID: 52` from `Job ID: 51`? The input record separator is newline by default. If you want the Job ID of the records where status=SUCCEEDED, you'll need to set the record separator to something other than "\n" and do a multi-line search.`/m`. I thin

Re: lambda array

I think the line: reply_multi( \$daemon{xmpp_o}, \($adminuser{fromJID}, $fromJID), "blah" ); should have \(...) replaced with [ ... ] : reply_multi( \$daemon{xmpp_o}, [$adminuser{fromJID}, $fromJID], "blah" ); because \('foo', 'bar') evaluates to (\'foo', \'bar') Does that clarify this for

Hi hw, I had a similar situation in which I travelled. I wanted to lock down the ufw firewall but be able to allow certain IP addresses based on the hotel IP or my cell service IP. To that I developed Perl that would check my smtp account. The script is controlled through a cron job that run

Hi Maxim, I'm sorry to hear this hasn't been resolved! I've just asked on the perl-help irc.perl.org channel - feel free to join in, but otherwise I'll let you know what I learn. Kind regards, Andrew On Fri, Jan 12, 2024 at 6:00 AM Maxim Abalenkov wrote: > Dear all, > > How are you? Thank you

If you are coding you should be backing up every 10 minutes or more often.  And you should store a "historical" full copy of the code every 30 minutes or more often and save them for days. Mike On 1/2/24 10:33, William Torrez Corea wrote: On Tue, Jan 2, 2024 at 5:17 AM Shlomi Fish wrote:

Re: [getting PAUSE account]

Just my two cents on this. There is no sense in putting one language over another if it is for personal use. In those cases use what you want and what you feel is best suited to your needs. You might Choose Perl as you are familiar with it and you need to process lots and lots of text for your pro

Re: [getting PAUSE account]

That is true.  I don't see the appeal with Python, but I have barely dabbled in it.  I code for me and I know Perl.  I don't have the motivation to learn a new language. Perl works well, so I use it. Mike On 12/25/23 22:05, William Torrez Corea wrote: I am a beginner, I am learning of the b

Re: [getting PAUSE account]

Great question.  I think I did see that Pause accounts were going away soon, but I'm not sure that has taken place yet.  I just signed into my Pause account and I don't see anything about them being retired. This 3 year old post says it takes a bit of time: https://www.reddit.com/r/perl/comments

Re: Preference

In this day and age Kotlin is probably your best bet but if you take on Java you are 90% there with regards to Kotlin. As for Perl, unless you are in a very specific niche Perl is pretty much dead as a commercially viable option as there are too few people that are halfway decent at it so no compan
