Hi Folks,

I am hoping I am wrong here but is this a bug with reference to the
code segment below?

================================================
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

$a=10;

print $a++ . "\n";
print $a . "\n";

================================================
After compilation and execution ==>
10
11
================================================
Perl version information is as below:
perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 10 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

This is an excerpt from the latest version perlfaq8.pod, which
comes with the standard Perl distribution. These postings aim to

8.42: How do I make a system() exit on control-C?

You can't. You need to imitate the system() call (see perlipc for sample
code) and then have a signal handler for the INT signal that passes the
signal on to the subprocess. Or you can check for it:

$rc = system($cmd);
if ($rc & 127) { die "signal death" }

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Probably an issue in the style sheet. Don't have 5.8.8 so I don't know what
to fix....

9.20: How do I send mail?

Use the "sendmail" program directly:

open(SENDMAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t -odq")
or die "Can't fork for sendmail: $!\n";
print SENDMAIL <<"EOF";
From: User Originating Mail
To: Final Destination
Subject: A relevant subject line

Body of the message goes here after the blank line
in as many lines as you like.
EOF
close(SENDMAIL) or warn "sendmail didn't close nicely";

The code below at least passes your tests.

Hope it helps,
Greg

#! /usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use constant {
MATCH => 1,
NO_MATCH => 0,
};

I have entries typed in by clients that need to wrap.
If a client were to type in a string of chars (say 100) without a space,
i need a substitution that would insert a break and newline at space
80. How would one do that with a s/// type statement?

9.1: What is the correct form of response from a CGI script?

(Alan Flavell a5.ph.gla.ac.uk> answers...)

The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) specifies a software interface
between a program ("CGI script") and a web server (HTTPD). It is not
specific to Perl, and has its own FAQs and tutorials, and usenet group,
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi

The CGI specification is outlined in an informational RFC:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875

Other relevant documentation listed in:
http://www.perl.org/CGI_MetaFAQ.html

These Perl FAQs very selectively cover some CGI issues. However, Perl
programmers are strongly advised to use the CGI.pm module, to take care
of the details for them.

I create a small perl file on a Windows platform and all the lines will end
CRLF. I upload the file to server A and it runs OK. I upload the same file
to server B and I get the 500 error message. If I chande all the CRLF to
LF the program works OK on server B.
Both servers are on Linux platforms. How can I automatically convert CRLF
to LF on server B. Or, what is server A doing that server B is not.

Regards
John

9.17: How do I check a valid mail address?

(partly contributed by Aaron Sherman)

This isn't as simple a question as it sounds. There are two parts:

a) How do I verify that an email address is correctly formatted?

b) How do I verify that an email address targets a valid recipient?

Without sending mail to the address and seeing whether there's a human
on the other end to answer you, you cannot fully answer part *b*, but
either the "Email::Valid" or the "RFC::RFC822::Address" module will do
both part *a* and part *b* as far as you can in real-time.
