Thanks PaulTeg, I didn't think it would be easy but now at least I know were to start looking to set it up. I didn't think it sounded possible direct from the form as an echo (<STDIN>) type comand.

Hi all! I have a perl script that when called displays a form for user input of figures (one figure for each day of the week). Currently the user also keys the total for the week. I was woundering if perl could be used to add up the entries as they are keyed and display the total on the form...

Thanks for you help JungleMcBeef :) I hadn't debugged the other bugs in the script before I posted sorry about that, I was too busy stalling on the first prob. Your comment about dbOpenTable makes perfect sense but for some reason doesn't work for me I stumbled with that one awhile back and the...

Sory Guys / Gals I worked it out... The table was empty Der! But now I have a different one. how do I reference a collum by it's collum number not the name it may have? eg. the first collum in the table is collum 1 but is called 'street' the second collum is collum 2 but is called 'First...

Hi all, I am relatively new to Access I am a perl and old DBase dabbler but find this 'stuff' fun also. Anyway... I am trying to open, read & right data between two recordsets simultaneously but am not sure how to call them both. I get an error telling me that there is no current record in the...

You got it!!! $zipFile->extractTree('','/home/my/path/to/whatever/'); worked fine :) the odd thing though, if I declare the path in a Scalar $mydir = &quot;/home/my/path/to/whatever/&quot;; and have $zipFile->extractTree('','$mydir'); Zip file: test.zip File inside of test.zip: test1.txt...

Thanks again raklet for the help thus far... The script offered works but... When I place the path in between the last '' regardless of whether I store the path to a $ or type the whole destination path in as a url or dir path the code places the extracted files into the cgi-bin in the same...

Thank you again raklet,(in anticipation) i'm sure it will solve that part of my challenge :) - exciting 'stuff' -

Once again thanks raklet (mis) all you suggested worked fine once i installed the module. one last stumbler though (& i have spent the last two days trying to find the answer), within Archive::zip there is the option to extract members from the zip file like below...

Thanks raklet, for you prompt reply / support. I checked & the archive::zip module isn't loaded on my server. I'll do that and let you know how I get on. I thought I was missing a declaration.

Obviously I am a rank beginner but I love the challenge! I am not doing this for any other reason than to teach myself perl. Anyway, I have a zip file that contains various PDF files. I have tried to read the zip to capture the file names and display them on screen using the following, open...

Thanks very much for answering may cry for help paulteg with the possible solution below to my earlier question regarding this topic. I should have been more specific. I know that now but that was my first thread post. Sorry :( Anyway the line of code paul gave me works fine but... I want to...

Doh! elementary Thanks for that Paul, Love ya work!

Hi all, I have a perl / cgi site where users can view text files relevant to themselves. These files are displayed specific to their login user name. I now want to store pdf files in a spool dir and also enable users to view these as per the criteria above (their login user name). I can do...
