Hello c.l.p.misc!

A resurgence of spam in places I would otherwise like has renewed my
interest in writing an nntp client. Someone else's (in the public domain)
has the following use statements, which I think I have to track down now.
The part I don't get right now is what follows the vanilla use statements

use strict; <---- this one I get for free
use Net::NNTP; <----already got this one
use Net::SMTP;
use HTTP::Date qw/time2str str2time/;
use MIME::QuotedPrint qw/encode_qp decode_qp/;
use Encode qw/encode decode/;
use POSIX qw/strftime/;
use File::stat;
use File::Temp qw/:mktemp/;
use Win32::ANSIConsole qw/coninit cls/;
, such as ^^^^^^^^.

What does it mean?

TIA, and cheers,

I want to make a cgi page like this:

there are 5 steps button, click one by one and get the step output.

Cgi should looks like this:

please click on each steps:

Step I button

step I execute output here:

then step II button:

step II output here:

....

the difficult part is the output is just below each steps' button. I
do not how to do it. Please help me.

Today I was editing a URL-likifying program I wrote several
weeks ago, and I ran across some issues with q{} and qr{}
which are puzzling me.

Here's an edited-for-brevity version of the program:

my $Legal = q{[[:alnum:];/?:@=&#%%$_.+!*'(),-]};
my $Regex1 = qr{($Legal+\.$Legal+/$Legal+)}
my $Regex2 = qr{(s?https?://$Legal+)};
while (<>)
{
s{$Regex1}{http://$1}g;
s{$Regex2}{\n

$1

\n}g;
print ($_);
}

(As an afterthought, I also tacked the entire program on the
end of this post, for anyone who's interested.)

I have two questions:

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.

9.14: How do I make sure users can't enter values into a form that cause my CGI script to do bad things?

trying to replace this

print "\n";
print "\n";

td>

\n";

with this

print table(
TR([
td([submit(),reset()])
])
);

seems to work but then a new name/value pair for "submit" shows up in
the browser address bar

original query string

http://192.168.1.1/rocket.pl?page=1&keywords_string=3

new query string

http://192.168.1.1/rocket.pl?page=1&keywords_string=3&.submit=Submit+Query

what does this mean?

appreciate the help

9.13: How do I edit my .htpasswd and .htgroup files with Perl?

The HTTPD::UserAdmin and HTTPD::GroupAdmin modules provide a consistent
OO interface to these files, regardless of how they're stored. Databases
may be text, dbm, Berkeley DB or any database with a DBI compatible
driver. HTTPD::UserAdmin supports files used by the "Basic" and "Digest"
authentication schemes. Here's an example:

use HTTPD::UserAdmin ();
HTTPD::UserAdmin
->new(DB => "/foo/.htpasswd")
->add($username => $password);

9.2: My CGI script runs from the command line but not the browser. (500 Server Error)

Several things could be wrong. You can go through the "Troubleshooting
Perl CGI scripts" guide at

http://www.perl.org/troubleshooting_CGI.html

If, after that, you can demonstrate that you've read the FAQs and that
your problem isn't something simple that can be easily answered, you'll
probably receive a courteous and useful reply to your question if you
post it on comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi (if it's something to do
with HTTP or the CGI protocols). Questions that appear to be Perl
questions but are really CGI ones that are posted to comp.lang.perl.misc
are not so well received.

The useful FAQs, related documents, and troubleshooting guides are
listed in the CGI Meta FAQ:
