Apparently TCP/IP Illustrated by Stevens is what I'm looking for... Anyone has anything to say on it comparing to what I'm looking for?

Thanks for the recommendations. Have you read those books? I haven't yet, of course, but they do seem kind of basic upon reading the back cover and the reviews. I was looking for something that would enable me to understand things like "how can a person spoof their own IP to pretend to be a...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a book recommendation, or reading material recommendation more generally. I am interested in learning about TCP/IP and everything else that is common, like UDP and ICMP. The purpose is, I want to learn exactly how ping, traceroute, and all the different kinds of...

Yeah thanks, all I had to do was undef the freaking $/ variable.

Forgive me, a better idea would be: m/\b[ADEFGHKSUZ]+\b/i

Couldn't you just run matches like this?: m/[ADEFGHKSUZ]{1}/i m/[ADEFGHKSUZ]{2}/i m/[ADEFGHKSUZ]{3}/i m/[ADEFGHKSUZ]{4}/i etc? This would find words that only use those letters. You've got a good challenge there. I'm now trying to match words that necessarily use those letters but may or may...

ask for it to find every <candy><product> and replace with <candy>\n\t<product> Then ask for it to replace every <product></product> with <product>\n\t</product> and finally ask for it to replace every </product></candy> with </product>\n</candy> Just remember to escape the backslashes and...

Hi. Here's the thing. I have ActivePerl running on a WinXP and I'm doing this at the command line: perl o.pl e.txt r.txt And this is the program o.pl: $source=$ARGV[0]; $dest=$ARGV[1]; unless($source and $dest){ print "Source or destination file missing\n"; } open SOURCE, "<$source"; open...

Yes, I've seen MS word grammar checker. It represents all that you said and yes, it is far from perfect. But it is going to remain far from perfect for a while since no one can help them (it's proprietary). I don't mean I should be applauded by my initiative. Sorry if I conveyed that sense...

Thanks, KevinADC. And Raklet, thanks for the website. That's very much alike the CoGroo I found. I downloaded the packages already. Thank you.

Raklet: Hi there. Thanks for the links, they seem very useful, and I like the syntax. Thanks for the example too. :) KevinADC: Hi Kevin. I understand the spirit of what you're saying. I have no authority to argue much further on that since we're talking specifically about Perl's capacities...

Yes, English is a complex language, but what language isn't? I have this "knowledge of linguistic theory" (not in my head, but in my friend's head), and we're trying to do a grammar checker without relying on A.I. I want to do it solely based on string manipulation, since I'm good at it and I...

Thanks, but I'm looking for more analytical critiques, not opinions.

Hi there, I'm a C/C++ and VB programmer and I have a program in mind that I would like to come true with the help of Perl. I want to ask you guys if what I want to do is doable. I want to make a grammar checker. So I was reading some snippets in Perl and I wanted to know if this was possible. I...
