windows xp
As long as you're not having any problems, I would say no. Windows XP is more reliable, but for me, the difference was negligible because Win98 was already pretty stable. However, XP does have some extra features, so it depends what your situation is.- Krel

Editing the path?
I want to change the PATH variable for Windows. In 98, I would edit the autoexec.bat file, but I can't seem to find that file in XP. How can I edit the path variable (I know I can do it at a command prompt, but I want it to be permanent). I also tried msconfig, but couldn't figure out what to...- Krel

problem using: print "Location: "
Make sure that you haven't sent a content-type header before you send the location header. The location header must absolutely be the FIRST output you send to the browser, or it won't work. -
Problem with old TurtleBeach Montego...
I recently upgraded my computer to Windows XP, as well as the processor, motherboard, RAM, and whatnot. However, I did not upgrade my sound card. On TurtleBeach's site, they say that the Montego is not really compatible with XP. The thing is, the sound works just great. However, the sound card...- Krel

Hard lockups under XP
I installed Motherboard Monitor 5, and the there is a temperature readout I'm concerned about - Sensor 2, which is just named Asus 2. Any way to figure out what this is? Anyway, the temperature readout during normal Windows is about 57 degrees celsius, which seems fairly hot to me. Could this...- Krel

Hard lockups under XP
I have an Asus A7V266-C motherboard and a 1900+ CPU, along with 512 MB of RAM, a 400 watt PSU, a Turtle Beach Montego sound card and a Geforce 4 MX440 video card. I'm getting some hard lockups. They are VERY occasional in Windows XP, but when I try to play Warcraft 3, it locks up almost...- Krel

hard error to find!
Get a text editor that is better than notepad. Even average text editors show line numbers. -
printing html
You mean you want to just display a previously written HTML page? If so, do this: print "Location:http://yourURLhere.com"; If you want that script to generate HTML, the easiest way to print a large block is to use the "here" syntax. print <<END_HTML; All of your HTML... -
Object Oriented Perl - Help Getting Started
That was a great post, Coderifous. It helped me a lot as well in understanding perl's OOP. However, I still don't understand the point of doing that; it seems needlessly complicated. What benefits are there to writing the above instead of the (perhaps newbie-ish) procedural code that I would... -
simple regex
You can use & to show a literal ampersand. That said, I don't know what the problem is... The following should work... $body =~ s!<p>&nbsp</p>!!ig; -
how to insert character to perl string
$email = 'somename@host.com'; $email =~ s/@/\\@/g; print $email; # prints somename\@host.com -
Good global variable scheme?
Whoops, in my above post, I dind't mean to include $STP in @EXPORT_OK. Not sure what I was thinking. -
Good global variable scheme?
Use the Exporter module. Here's a sample: package Constants; use Exporter; $Pi = 3.14; $Avagadros = 6.02e23; push @EXPORT, $Pi, $Avagadros; # These variables I want to export automatically $R = 8.31; $STP = 22.4; push @EXPORT_OK, $R, $STP; # This variable is exported only on request, when you... -
Home Made Modules Volontary Abort Compilation ?
I think they're planning to add that feature in perl6, but I just did a quick perl -e and it didn't work. -
What fan to get for my graphics card?
I have an (old!) nvidia TNT that is causing me problems. Whenever I play a 3D game that would use the card, it overheats. I suspect it is overheating because all of my 3D games freeze up in the same way - the screen just freezes, and my computer doesn't accept any keyboard input at all. I am...- Krel

require function errors
Does the required file open files using relative directories? Maybe the required code is considered part of the main script and thus is looking for the file in the wrong directory, and dying. -
Complete Beginner....
Best of all is to get Apache so you can test it locally. It saves you from having to upload your file(s) every time. Just save it, and *poof* it's updated. :) -
Using $SIG{__DIE__} and exec
I thought about that, but I would probably run into the same problems trying to start mysqld.exe and run the script as I'm having now. Basically, is there any way that perl can execute a program without expecting a waiting for any kind of return value? -
Using $SIG{__DIE__} and exec
Oh yeah, and I tried using backticks in a void context and that timed out as well. The script does NOT time out if I don't use system, exec or backticks, so I'm certain those are the problem. All three methods do start the program correctly, though.
