Hi all,
I am writing a program which will print variety of matches having
keywords like insert,delete etc from another file .For this I
wrote a couple of sub routines one of which returns an
array(having the comments removed ).Then I face the problem :
A part of that array is :
CURSOR c_efc(l_w
I'm setting up a mailing subroutine for one of my customers that will send
mail based upon a delay of X amount of hours (selected via web form).
If I use something like:
sub send_on_schedule {
my $hours = $q->param('delay');
my $sleeptime = $hours * 3600; # how many seconds?

Your first solution is prone to memory leaks and your second is just a pain
(INHO).

Sure. Create a cron that runs every hour (or less) and checks for scheduled
mail to send. All you need to do is have some sort of persistant storage
(file or preferably a DB) to s
I sort of follow you, but I'm not exactly sure how to implement something
like that. How would a cron know by looking at a text file or DB entry when
it was supposed to send the mail? Has anyone done anything like this, and
are there code samples available somewhere that I can review?

The cron doesn't look at the DB... your scheduler script does (which is
started by cron). The scheduler might do something like this:
1. open the database
2. search for records with a "to_sen
Hi,
Im just learning Perl and was a little confused with why I couldnt prevent
my subroutines from reading variables from the main program. Here is an
example:
use strict;
my $var = 1;
test();
sub test
{
print $var;
}
I had thought that a my variable would not be able to be read by the
Can you tell me how to define a cron job that is executed each hour?
Thank you.
