Hello,

I have a file with the following data structure:
#category
item name
data1
data2
item name
data1
data2
#category
item name
data1
data2
... etc.

Any line that starts with #, indicates a new category. Between
categories, there can be any number of items, with associated data.
Each item has exactly two data properties.

Hi,
I'm writing a script PERL for ip-in-ip encapsulation.
I could give multicast packet over udp connection encapusalate it and
send it to peer destination.

I'll use the NetPacket::UDP module.

Think you that it is a good idea? Help and idea for the problem are
welcome....

Thanks in advance...

8.18: How can I do an atexit() or setjmp()/longjmp()? (Exception handling)

Release 5 of Perl added the END block, which can be used to simulate
atexit(). Each package's END block is called when the program or thread
ends (see perlmod manpage for more details).

For example, you can use this to make sure your filter program managed
to finish its output without filling up the disk:

END {
close(STDOUT) || die "stdout close failed: $!";
}

The END block isn't called when untrapped signals kill the program,
though, so if you use END blocks you should also use

use sigtrap qw(die normal-signals);

Hi
I'm new in Perl language...

I have an important question: Perl and C can communicate ?

My problem is the following: I have Perl script (client) that could
receive information ( via UDP connection) from a C program ( the
server).
Is it this possible? there are a method for client e server to
communicate??

Thanks in advance

I want to nuke a temp directory. The very simplest way to do it is
system("rm", "-rf", TEMPDIR), but I'm wondering if there's a perlish way to
do it that'd be about as easy. The only thing that comes to mind is a bit
of a mess, using File::Find and unlink'ing and rmdir'ing [as appropriate]
what you run into. Tnx...

8.35: How do I close a process's filehandle without waiting for it to complete?

Assuming your system supports such things, just send an appropriate
signal to the process (see "kill" in perlfunc). It's common to first
send a TERM signal, wait a little bit, and then send a KILL signal to
finish it off.

Does anyone know how to determine the NIC speed by non-privileged users?
I want to be able to do this from perl and can't find any data
structures in /proc and /sys, but then again there are an awful lot of
them and could be easy to miss in an obscure place. I usually use
ethtool for this but it requires privs.

8.2: How come exec() doesn't return?

Because that's what it does: it replaces your currently running program
with a different one. If you want to keep going (as is probably the case
if you're asking this question) use system() instead.
