G'day everyone

I have a VB application (though it could easily be any other 3GL)
which calls a PerlCtrl'd COM object. What I'd like to be able to do is
to create a real (or ersatz) callback mechanism. The idea would be to
pass to the Perl object a long containing the address of a function or
procedure and have Perl call that address. IIRC, the COM object would
run in-process so the address would be meaningful within that
context.

I can generate the address and pass it in to the COM. What I don't
know is how to have Perl either call or jump to that address.

Any ideas? Should I give up now, before I do any damage?

Kind regards,
Bruce.

2.12: Which magazines have Perl content?

*The Perl Review* ( http://www.theperlreview.com ) focuses on Perl
almost completely (although it sometimes sneaks in an article about
another language). There's also *$foo Magazin*, a german magazine
dedicated to Perl, at ( http://www.foo-magazin.de ).

Magazines that frequently carry quality articles on Perl include *The
Perl Review* ( http://www.theperlreview.com ), *Unix Review* (
http://www.unixreview.com/ ), *Linux Magazine* (
http://www.linuxmagazine.com/ ), and Usenix's newsletter/magazine to its
members, *login:* ( http://www.usenix.org/ )

Hi all,

I beg to differ, since a match is more intuitively readable (to a Perl
programmer) and AFAIK when a constant string is involved, then it is
optimized to a simple index() anyway.

I am not able to find the right options for my message queue. I would
like for the queue to receive messages as soon as they are sent, but
am receiving them after the queue is removed. Seems like a blocking
issue but I am not sure. Posting the two small script I am stuck with.
Would appreciate constructive response.

Sending the message as the incoming argument.

use IPC::Msg;
use IPC::SysV;

$outgoing=$ARGV[0];
$key = 999;
$queue = msgget($key,0) or die $!;
my $type = 1234;

#$queue = new IPC::Msg($key,0);
$string = "This";
#$message = pack(A4,"This");
$message = pack("A*",$outgoing);
print $message;
msgsnd($queue,$message,0);

Try upgrading to GNU Emacs 22.x or at least try to grab the latest
version of CPerl mode.

Could you please paste some more lines of code as an example? I tried
the ones shown and I had no problem with it.

RMS Emacs comes with a modified version of CPerl which is, more or
less, unusable.

Hope this helps,
Ilya

Hi,

I'm looking for something that is like eval in that it can compile and
run code from strings, but will quit after a maximum given time.

The benchmark module tool "timethis" is very close, but it can only
ever specify a minimum time to iterate the given code. What I want is
code that iterates ONCE, breaking at a maximum time that I can specify
(if it runs that long).

If anybody knows of a function to do this I would appreciate it. I
would rather not have to start digging around in the source for
timethis to create my own.

Thanks.
