    by the way 'auto_commit' should be 'autocommit' in the code snippets above

    How put 900,000,000 rows of data into mysql fast!!!

    well, not exactly. this is what the script would do in the first place. for each record there is one insert-statement. if he's taking the trouble of making it a prepared statement, he might as well insert multiple rows at a time. personally, i would first try the LOAD DATA INFILE approach. i...

    How put 900,000,000 rows of data into mysql fast!!!

    To start off, i didn't take a look at your script...these are just mysql-hints. First, start a transaction and lock the table in question in exclusive mode. SET auto_commit = 'off'; SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE; START TRANSACTION; LOCK TABLE `myTable` WRITE; -- or LOCK TABLE...

    Run URL in Perl script

    in case it has to be perl und you don't mind using wget, you could also do my $content = `wget -O - 'http://dynamicdns-park-your-domain.com/update?host=yadda&domain=example.com&password=123456abcdef'`; not tested, but you get the idea. good luck :-)

    Run URL in Perl script

    does it really have to be perl doing this? maybe it would be simpler to just use wget. i'd be surprised if it wasn't installed. since cron is taking care of this, i figure you don't have much need for the actual content returned from calling the url. i'd just have cron execute: wget -O -...

    Pattern matching

    maybe you want something the likes of #!/usr/bin/perl my @field = ("H S", "A B", "B A"); my %map = ('S' => 'Sam', 'B' => 'Bernhard'); foreach my $i (0..2) { foreach my $key (keys %map) { if ($field[$i] =~ /$key$/) { print $map{$key},"\n"; } } } prints Sam Bernhard

    Reinventing the wheel

    i'm not sure about this...but shouldn't any acpi-compliant bios provide some interface for these kinds of things? in that case it should work on your new PCs. maybe checkout some acpi-stuff, if there is any on cpan. cheers michael

    Passing Data Between One Script to Another

    seems sensible :) the goal for my suggestion was primarily to circumvent the timeout of the script. (btw, how does the server kill the script? maybe installing some signal handlers will do the trick *g*). if you pass all <input type=file> values at once and the perl script takes care of...

    Passing Data Between One Script to Another

    i think the problem with the "system" function is that -- to my knowledge -- it is a blocking one. meaning: the system call will return only after the command invoked by it has terminated. i don't know, but i would expect, that the script invoking the "system" function would still be killed...

    Perl read form, output to PDF and mail it

    i working quite a lot with something similar. unfortunately we're using php insted of perl, but in this case it doesn't really matter either way. of course, cpan definately is the first place to check out. i don't know if theres something useful on cpan, but we do it like this. 1) read and...

    Script works from command line but not from browser

    i asked myself a very simple question while reading this...i propably already had the idea, but since it's not mentioned anywhere: do you have access to log files? if it's a permission problem, shouldnt there be something in there somewhere? cheers, michael

    REGEX Perl..

    i didn't end the pattern :) forgot the slash at the end if ($con =~ /^skins\/([0-9a-fA-F]{32})\//) {

    REGEX Perl..

    hi, i'm only looking at your pattern...try if ($con =~ /^skins\/([0-9a-fA-F]{32})\/) { notice the following: - in your code the regex operator was =!, it actually is =~. the negation is !~ - the m introducing the pattern slipped into the pattern itself. in your case, it's unnecessary anyway...

    use certain font with sprintf command ?

    aloha, maybe i'm totally wrong, but i think that's quite impossible. sprintf is usually used to output something to a scalar. a scalar containing a string is totally independent of fonts etc. for details on sprintf and printf, see the perlfunc manpage (run "perldoc perlfunc"). maybe curses are...

    Need to delete a line while looping thrugh a file

    i think flow control insturctions like next and last apply to the innermost loop. so just make "last" the next command after you deleted the line. but somehow this seems pretty obvious, i don't know if i got your post right. greetings, michael

    listening to a process in Perl.

    btw...on windows running active perl you may want to check out Win32::Process (if i remember the name correctly)

    listening to a process in Perl.

    Hi, i once had a similar problem. maybe this will help: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1420124&page=1 Another option could be to fork the system calls. i think you could also jerry-rig a workaround by appending "&" to the command, which starts a new process and returns control...
