    Dealing with binary files in perl

    Hi, write is not the opposite of read (see documentation). You should use the following code: my $temp = pack ('n', 0x00f0); syswrite (FH, $temp, 2); Please be careful with syswrite. It shouldn't be mixed with other write statements (see documentation). Thomas

    Microsoft Word Output

    1. You can write RTF form you perl script. Word can read RTF-files. Drawback: You must be familiar with RTF. 2. Use Word's macro recorder to get an idea of how to solve the task via OLE automation. The recorded macro shows the used objects with their properties and methods. Then simply...

    How to read an Access database table that has spaces in the name

    It should work with [] around table names in Access. The simplest way is building the query in Access until it runs and cut'n paste it into the perl program. Thomas

    How to check to see if ports are open

    With NT you can use NETSTAT.EXE. I don't know whether linux has a netstat command. This is not a perl solution :-)

    Capturing die output

    The statements 'die' and 'warn' will output to 'stderr' and not to 'stdout'. You must redirect 'stderr' to your rsh.

    wsh, task scheduler please explain

    Does your program work when you call it from the command line? If not you should correct this. If yes it may be a problem with the scheduler account. Scheduled tasks are started form the TaskScheduler service that runs with the LocalSystem account.

    Can't call method &quot;AddRecipient&quot; on unblessed reference.

    Are you shure that $Mailer = $Server->CreateObject(&quot;SMTPsvg.Mailer&quot;); creates an Object? You should check this. With $Win32::OLE::Warn = 3; every COM error is immediately reported and your script dies. Hope that helps Thomas

    annoying for loop error

    I think perl uses your for-head as a list. The list ($i = 0, $i <= $noinsection, $i++) has three elements and is evaluated before entering the loop. $i is set to 0 and incremented at last resulting to 1. The loop iterates 3 times because the list has 3 elements. The current value of $i (1) is...

    Calling the ShellExecute command

    You can write your own ShellExecute with CreateProcess and synchronize the call with WaitForSingleObjectEx on the process handle. The attached sample procedure uses this technique: BOOL SpawnProc(int CreationFlags, BOOL Sync, int argc, char *argv[]) { // va_list argptr; // char *parm = Param...

    I have question about sprintf function.

    sprintf is a C library function. The format string is identical to the printf format string. Have a look to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/devprods/vs6/visualc/vccore/_crt_printf_type_field_characters.htm

    can you create windows DLL's in Perl?

    You can buy a perl compiler (from Active State) and create a COM-Server from your perl program. But I think a better solution is the Windows Scripting Host (WSH). Active State's Perl distribution comes along with a Perl Scripting Engine. Perl scripts can run under control of WSH. MS offers a...
