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)...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

...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...

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...

my $string = " "; if($string !~ /[\! ]/) { # Isn't a '!' or ' ' } else { # Is }

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.

Try using double quotes: $sheet1->write("$i", 3, "=(100/C$i) )*B$i/100", $format1); -Nick

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...

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...

$_ = '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

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...

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?

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

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...

It works (and I'll use it, thank you), but why didn't my original code work?
