Matching Alternative Patterns slows down search tremendously!
What version of perl and what operating system? There can be a very wide range of difference between versions and operating systems and the slowness you experience may not be typical of all perl users. ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl coder unexceptional! [wiggle] -
What are most popular Perl forums?
perlmonks.com devshed.com perlguru.com stackoverflow.com (not a "forum") unix.com has no dedicated perl forum but there is a "shell programming and scripting" forum and it is very busy but 99% of the questions are other than perl. ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl... -
Use of $# to get array size in Perl 5.10
This is definetly wrong: $#{@{$listref}} that's a double-layering of dereferencing and should have been: $#{$listref} I don't know why it would work in 5.8 with "strict" turned on. ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl coder unexceptional! [wiggle] -
use module via variable ? can't get it to work
Its not hard to do. I assume you didn't know the difference between "compile" and "run" times and the difference between "use" and "require". Now that you know you can load modules conditionally all you want. ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl coder unexceptional! [wiggle] -
Need help to parse and summarize a log file
Keep adding hash keys and counting what you need. What have you tried? ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl coder unexceptional! [wiggle] -
use module via variable ? can't get it to work
there is a pragma called "if" that allows you to conditionally load modules but I am not familiar with its usage. Might be new for perl 5.10 ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl coder unexceptional! [wiggle] -
Need help to parse and summarize a log file
use a hash where the dates are the hash keys and the value is the count. ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl coder unexceptional! [wiggle] -
Appending then Reading
Your code should be printing the first line of the file, not the last, either before or after appending new data to the file. ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl coder unexceptional! [wiggle] -
Getting Started with Perl
free perl IDE for Windows: www.perl-express.com don't bother with PWS, download and install apache: www.apache.org You can google for "apache setup tutorial" to get your CGI scripts running ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl coder unexceptional! [wiggle] -
CGI + Perl issue
Cool, thanks for the update and glad you got it working. ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl coder unexceptional! [wiggle] -
use perl to generate index.html
Assuming the perl script is in the cgi-bin, and the style-sheet is in the web root ( if it isn't you may have to move it there), you should make the path to the style sheet relative to the cgi-bin using ../ in the URI: <link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"../style.css\">\n the... -
Split Function
The first argument to split() is a regexp, not a string. Even using single-quotes does not make it a string, so you have to escape special characters like ^. ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl coder unexceptional! [wiggle] -
calling system command
The Perl.pm file should go in a directory name Syntax/Highlight (Syntax::Highlight) relative to the directory where tekify.cgi is stored or you could add it to @INC with the lib pragma. Its pure perl so doesn't have to be installed, you can just upload the source code. tekify.cgi has the color... -
calling system command
Sorry, I renamed it tekify.txt so you can get the source code now. Rename it to .cgi or .pl if your server requires one of those extensions to execute a perl script. ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl coder unexceptional! [wiggle] -
calling system command
The perl to TGML convertor is an existing CPAN module that I modified to add TGML code and the links to perldoc and some other modifications I no longer remember. http://search.cpan.org/~johnsca/Syntax-Highlight-Perl-1.0/lib/Syntax/Highlight/Perl.pm The two scripts can be downloaded from... -
Removing Trailing Spaces In Printf For A String
hehehe..... thats funny. You tell printf to add spaces on the right if necessary to pad a string to ten places, but then you don't want the spaces! Try not using printf and just use print. ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl coder unexceptional! [wiggle] -
create arrays from list
this line: if (m#^(\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d\d{2,4})#) { better written as: if (m#^(\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{2,4})#) { if the date is always in MM/DD/YYYY you could just use that pattern exclusively: if (m#^(\d\d/\d\d/\d\d\d\d#) { ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl coder... -
create arrays from list
Going by the very slim example of data, this is a barebones of a script you can expand on: use strict; use warnings; my %ReportHash; my $key; open(my $REPOPT ,'path/to/report/file') or die "$!"; while( <$REPORT>) { chomp; next if (/^\s*$/);#skip blank lines if... -
How put 900,000,000 rows of data into mysql fast!!!
900,000,000 In US(A) thats 900 million. Still a lot of whatever. ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl coder unexceptional! [wiggle] -

mikrom, you're welcome to use this Perl to TGML converter if you want to: http://www.e-pixs.com/highlight/ ------------------------------------------ - Kevin, perl coder unexceptional! [wiggle]
