Hi everyone,
I'm trying to send info with (https) SSL and my program comes to a halt when
writing a file and sending an email.
SSL was set up by my hosting service with an unauthenticated certificate that
I had them set up for demo purposes. Does this have something to do with it?
Or is it a
Hello, all.
I am a formerly competent perl scripter that has been away from some time working in
other languages. Suffice to say, my perl is a bit rusty. If I weren't under a time
constraint, I would find the answer to my own question after hours of research and
trial and error.

I'm new here and a very novice Perl coder. And I have a question, of

Is it more "Perl-like" to get information from the shell via UNIX
Environment Variables or via the command line? For an example, I have

Why not just make DIR1, DIR2, IPADDR AND IPPORT global variables within
the script, rather then requiring user to set env variables, which can
become a pain in the ass.
Your best bet would be to set them to some default variable, and then if
the user needs to, she can override the default values b

It depends on the environment in which you're running.

Each time I use the CPAN module, it prompts me to install a new version of
CPAN. When I do, it stalls during the make test:

Pretty sure I have gnupg installed correctly. Any guesses on what else would
be wrong? CPAN itself works okay, this

Thx to everyone on this. I chucked the system date function I
originally wrote and used strftime and localtime. Guess I haven't read
that part of the perl book yet ;-)
So when I wrote the program originally, was it populating $date
incorrectly? I'm hoping to understand why it didn't work in t

FYI.. playing with it a bit. I discovered there must be a carriage
return (new line) after the line processes. I changed my original code
to do this
chomp(my $date = `date +%d/%b`);
This fixed the problem. hehehe... I should have thought of this. Oh
well.. not bad after a few weeks
