FTP client with web frontend?
Kordaff, What you found is close, but the primary "check-out" functionality is extraneous for us. It'd work, but it's not a slam-dunk. However, it did lead me to find two packages that seem to be a perfect fit for what we're looking for (pending actual implementation and experimentation)... -
FTP client with web frontend?
Kordaff, Thanks for the detailed response- you seem to have the basic idea of what I'm looking for. My original fantasy was that someone would post a link to some distribution (like Perlfect, for example), that has a decent template system, a good interface, and all the necessary... -
FTP client with web frontend?
Heh, it does indeed. Though, I'm looking for something slightly more functional. Specifically, this "web front-end" needs to be able to upload, download, create directories, rename directories, and remove directories. Some sort of login page would be nice, too- the... -
FTP client with web frontend?
Hey all, I'm looking for some sort of Perl package or distribution that provides FTP functionality via a web interface. I figured this sort of thing would be all-pervasive, but I'm having a bit of trouble finding exactly what I'm looking for. Maybe I'm just not looking for the right thing. I... -
Linksys wireless connection sporadically disconnects frm gaming servrs
Hi Ken, I could access all of my games just fine, and XFire and other such programs have always worked...my problem was disconnecting, specifically from Battlefield's Desert Combat mod. When I hardwired myself in it was a bit better, but still happening. I never fully solved the problem (I...- Nebbish

Grabbing binary files via http
Hey folks, an easy one- how do I download binary files through a URL? I know how to use LWP::Simple to "get" a web document, but if the file is binary it doesn't read it properly. IE, want to use Perl to automate the downloading of a .zip file, at http://www.someaddy.com/myfile.zip. How do... -
Parsing MS Word files in Perl
Thanks for the code...I'll give OLE a try if a Word parser module doesn't show up. Someone created a handy module that'll parse binary Excel files through Perl, I guess I was hoping for something like that. But this'll do. Thanks, Nick -
Parsing MS Word files in Perl
...is it possible? Seems like this wacky OLE module that I've never used can open Word and manipulate files within the program, but I'd prefer to keep things simple and parse some .doc files within the warm, comfortable confines of my Perl script, without opening any helper programs. CPAN... -
Whats my current directory?
Hey all, kind of an easy question. I have a perl script which I've compiled into a .exe. When I execute it, it naturally sets its directory to the one the .exe is found in. This is fine. However, I want to know exactly what this directory is. For example, my script (.exe) file is under... -
NOT "!" or " "
my $string = " "; if($string !~ /[\! ]/) { # Isn't a '!' or ' ' } else { # Is } -
FTP Script
Using the Net::FTP and File::Find modules, what you're talking about is a 15-20 line Perl program. There might be something pre-existing, but it'd probably be easier just to write from scratch. -
Variables in Spreadsheet:: WriteExcel
Try using double quotes: $sheet1->write("$i", 3, "=(100/C$i) )*B$i/100", $format1); -Nick -
Perl Script Syntax Checker
There might be a better solution, but what I do is have an error file opened immidiately, using the following code (placed anywhere, really): BEGIN { my $curTime = localtime; open(STDERR, "> scriptErrorLog.txt"); print STDERR "The script was last called on $curTime\n\n"; } It'll still... -
Read Just One Line from A Text File
staticD, Some of your code isn't quite valid, and some parts might be valid but I personally haven't seen the syntax before ;). To open a file for reading: open(FILEHANDLE, "< C:/location/of/file.txt"); If you want a file for writing, change the "<" to a ">". From here, you can do a lot of... -
need regex help again.
$_ = '0 0 0 360 0.2 12 9.1'; my @arrayOfValues = split(/\s+/); $arrayOfValues[0] = 0, $arrayOfValues[1] = 0, $arrayOfValues[2] = 0, $arrayOfValues[3] = 360, etc -Nick -
question about cpan
Gary, I'm not really sure what you're trying to do, but I understand you're trying to get a module off CPAN. The best way to do this, to my knowledge, is to use ActiveState. http://www.download.com/ActivePerl/3000-2212-10175376.html?tag=lst-0-1 Using a shell, you can search and install CPAN... -
busy widget
What are you talking about? What language is this in? Is this a web script dealing in HTML or a local GUI you are trying to get to work? -
Funky file writing -- betcha you can't figure this one out
I had never seen select before, that did the trick. I kind of assumed $| affected the buffering for all filehandles. Good to know it doesn't. Thanks, Nick -
Funky file writing -- betcha you can't figure this one out
Still isn't quite working. The buffering appears to be off: $| = 1; open(OUTPUT, "> tester.txt"); open(STDERR, ">&OUTPUT"); print OUTPUT "Here is my first statement.\n"; die "Second statement"; Produces Second statement at... -
Funky file writing -- betcha you can't figure this one out
It works (and I'll use it, thank you), but why didn't my original code work?
