Creating visual graphics 9 45 (11/25/2012 7:45:27 PM) comp.lang.perl.misc I'm VERY new to all this, but I've started fooling around with the GD package on my win7/pro system [using ActiveState Perl] and it seems simple enough that even a dolt like me can manage to do some graphics-... Bernie

Finding repositories 1 30 (9/13/2012 9:09:21 PM) comp.lang.perl.misc I'm using Activestate perl and is there some general way [via google? via CPAN?] to locate a repository for a module that the Activestate repository doesn't have? Thanks! /bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell ... Bernie

Making CGI.pm forget 10 47 (6/19/2012 3:51:44 PM) comp.lang.perl.misc One aspect of CGI.pm that I've never liked is that it tries to 'remember' form variables from one page to the next --- and worse makes it hard to change a value, preferring to ignore your attempts to change t... Bernie

Delaying interpolation in a qr 6 22 (8/4/2011 6:30:55 PM) comp.lang.perl.misc This with perl 5.6 [alas!!]. I have a regular expression that includes a 'runtime' variable. My problem is twofold: first, that's one of several REs I need to handle as variables, so I'm using qr{}s for them.... Bernie

Harcopy/book on Moose 2 27 (7/31/2011 4:52:04 PM) comp.lang.perl.misc Is there a document or book on Moose? The only references I've found are the man pages, which has Moose divided into something like eight different docs ::Classes, ::Justification, etc, etc, and good, but not ... Bernie

Finding packages with ActiveState 5 119 (12/19/2010 11:57:18 PM) comp.lang.perl.misc I'm moving to a new system and I've just installed the latest ActiveState Perl [5.12] and in order to get several of my existing perl scripts to work I need several packages that aren't there. I'm just runni... Bernie

Which distro for windows? 3 76 (7/21/2009 3:44:45 PM) comp.lang.perl.misc On one system I have Activestate Perl and on another I have Strawberry perl. both seem OK, although the Activestate one seems a bit "slicker" [OTOH, Strawberry perl includes enough machinery to install stuff f... Bernie

Crypt::SSLeay for Activestate 2 25 (12/9/2008 6:26:33 PM) comp.lang.perl.modules I need to do https fetches and that requires Crypt::SSLeay. Alas, I just did a "perl package manager" and it said that the package isn't available. Is it available from some other repository or something? THA... Bernie

Dumb Mail::Header question: getting the header 2 36 (12/3/2008 6:12:36 PM) comp.lang.perl.modules I'm using Mail::Header to set up the headers for a usenet posting [that'll be fed to Net::NNTP->post]. Post's doc says it wants an array [I assume one line per entry, each terminated by a newline, as for 'a... Bernie

Finding installed modules 3 35 (1/8/2008 9:52:33 PM) comp.lang.perl.modules I was poking around at scripts to locate all installed modules and I'm a little confused [or else I'm missing something]. *every* script I found after a quick Google uses File::Find on @INC, but that seems wro... Bernie

Forcing Server mode 4 29 (4/27/2005 6:34:30 PM) comp.lang.php I've been through the docs and I'm more than a little confused: I'd like to run [some] PHP apps as ordinary CGI programs. I though/hoped there'd be a command line switch [that I could put in my shebang line] t... bernie13 (9)

Are They Lying: $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] Question 14 26 (6/13/2005 1:55:02 PM) comp.lang.php Hi There A client of mine has some banner ads placed on the net. Instead of relying on the sites the ads are posted on tell us how many clicks they are getting, we wanted to track the number ourselves. I s... heyho (433)

Keeping POD in a separate file 2 50 (1/10/2008 9:18:09 PM) comp.lang.perl.modules Another "Perl Culture" kind of question: For CPAN packages, is it normal/acceptable/OK to have the POD for a module in a separate .pod file, instead of inside the .pm? MyModule.pm MyModule.pod MyModule/Sub... steve.roscio (20)
