Child processes don't get the close on pipe

lothar.br...@googlemail.com (Lothar Braun) — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 11:53:03 UT

Hi,

I have a problem with pipes that I do not understand at all. My code
forks a number of child processes, and creates a pipe for every one of
them. The parent then writes data to the child's pipes, finishing the
whole process by closing the pipe.

The children consume to data and write results back to the parent

How to properly recursively navigate into archives stored in archives

davidmichaelk...@gmail.com (David Karr) — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:57:01 UT

I have a small perl script that I use to search archives for members matching a name. I'd like to enhance this so that if it finds any members in the archive that are also archives (zip, jar, etc) it will then recursively scan those, looking for the original desired pattern.

I've looked through the "Archive::Zip" documentation, and I thought I saw how to do this. I noticed the "fh()" and "readFromFileHandle()" methods. However, in my testing, it appears that the "fh()" call on an archive member returns the file handle for the containing archive, not the member. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong, but I appreciate an example of how to do this.

my $variables

nospam.gravital...@hotmail.com.nospam (George Mpouras) — Thu, 31 May 2012 07:54:14 UT

is there any way to catch the "my" variable names like the "our" variables ?

my $var_001 = 'hello';
our $var_002 = 'world';
foreach (grep /var/, keys %{__PACKAGE__.::}) {print "$_
",${__PACKAGE__.::}{$_},"\n"}

Quick and dirty article filter

apei...@pobox.com (Chris Nehren) — Tue, 29 May 2012 16:32:54 UT

As I've been spending more time on Usenet, I've come to become rather
annoyed at the "features" of Google Groups. Yes, it sucks, it makes
things a mess, and so on. But! Instead of just whining about the
problem, I've put together a small, simple Perl program to filter Google
Groups (and other) articles into something resembling sanity. I wrote

coding question

rvaede...@gmail.com — Fri, 25 May 2012 20:08:18 UT

I am not very familiar with perl. Although, I do have shell scripting experience.
I thought this would be easier to do this in perl.

I have a file that doesn't have a field delimiter between the columns and I want to add a colon between each column. I can identify the columns by hard coding the range:

How does a script language work in a server

john.sm...@invalid.com (John) — Fri, 25 May 2012 18:34:08 UT

When someone uses s browser and goes to a [link] how does
it work at the server end? Let's say I'd like to create a "perl-clone" or
something like perl or php where would I get more info?

confused about POD

carte...@gmail.com (ccc31807) — Fri, 25 May 2012 14:47:29 UT

This might be just a mental glitch, but I seem to be having a problem
wrapping my mind around POD. My mental image is javadoc, which allows
me to produce HTML documentation of Java classes from internal
documation (in Javadoc format) by running a command.

If I document my Perl code (either an executable or a PM) using POD

OT: How to calculate reputation scores?

mi...@mac.com (Mike) — Tue, 22 May 2012 16:54:17 UT

A general question, not PERL releated:

Many web sites have an article/message/user reputation based on the up or
down votes the article/message/user receives. How is a reputation score
calculated given only up and down votes? (The user is not presented with
a 1 to 5 scale for scoring something.)

forcing TCP in Net::DNS?

morty+use...@frakir.org (Morty) — Tue, 22 May 2012 15:29:21 UT

Using Net::DNS, I'd like to be able to force TCP lookups even for
queries that shouldn't need TCP. dig supports this using the +tcp
option. Does Net::DNS have a method to do this? Net::DNS::Resolver
describes how to set TCP persistence and a TCP timeout, but I don't
see a way to force TCP.

get local packages symbols with require

marc.gi...@gmail.com (Marc Girod) — Tue, 22 May 2012 07:47:34 UT

Hello,

I am still trying to improve the CPAN ClearCase::Wrapper package:

In particular, somebody brought to my attention the fact that errors
in sub-modules which Wrapper loads, are ignored.
I decided that the point to fix was the snippet:

Help with install from CPAN

d...@invalid.invalid (Dave Saville) — Mon, 21 May 2012 10:07:30 UT

Finally decided to have another go wirh 5.14.2 on OS/2.

As usual it is a binary port but I have it installed in the same
environment as it was built. Little things work but I cannot get it to
install anything. It chugs along happily until it gets to the test
portion and then fails with every single test saying "no subtests
