A second beginner's question

Now that I have the earlier snippet working (and thank you to all who helped), I am working on shuffling my array. Basically, the array is a list of names in the order they will receive a job assignment. Every third week, I want to shuffle the order. I have tested the basics of shuffling the ar

urlencode and uri_escape

Hi all, there seems to be a slight difference between the function urlencode from php and the uri_escape in perl: the encoded result of "test !"§$%&/()=" is different: in php: test+%21%22%A7%24%25%26%2F%28%29%3D in perl: test%20%21%22%3F%24%25%26%2F%28%29%3D The difference is the space: in php it

renaming a file

Hello, I've been trying to apply my fledgling PERL skills to this task which I have encountered a bit of a roadblock. What I want to do is rename 20-100 files in two different directories that are created every morning. They come in a name format such as these: 1st directory: ABCDEF.12152005

accessing hash value with ->

Hi, I am the "maintenance programmer" for this large chunk of code. My question is particular to this syntax: $THE_COMMANDS{$THE_COMMAND}->($THE_COMMAND); Where THE_COMMANDS is a hash %THE_COMMANDS( open => &dosomething ); Thus, $THE_COMMANDS{$THE_COMMAND} is nothing but &dosomething right? so wh

Re: accessing hash value with ->

Hello, Are you sure that %THE_COMMANDS( open => &dosomething ); is not %THE_COMMANDS( open => \&dosomething ); The \ in front of the & makes $THE_COMMAND{open} a code reference. And the way you dereference a code ref is with the -> operator. It's the same as if I did. my $open

Re: strict and warnings

So it costs 3% more every ten million times it runs, the benefits of leaving it in are much more valuabel than 3%/1000 :) Actually, what happens is that importing those pragma cause flags to be set (eg $^H, see `perldoc perlvar`). Perl checks these flags during certain operations. If the fl

When that happens, what happens with the error message? The error message remains but it will be printed only if the file cannot be opened for some reason e.g. the file does not exist. That is what the or is there for. but I am as much a *nix beginner as a Perl beginner Stick with Perl and it will
