That's 26 question marks, or if you prefer to specify a value:

find . -name "$(printf "%%26s*"|tr ' ' '?')"

2.11: Perl Books

A number of books on Perl and/or CGI programming are available. A few of
these are good, some are OK, but many aren't worth your money. There is
a list of these books, some with extensive reviews, at
http://books.perl.org/ . If you don't see your book listed here, you can
write to perlfaq-workers@perl.org .

The incontestably definitive reference book on Perl, written by the
creator of Perl, is Programming Perl:

Programming Perl (the "Camel Book"):
by Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, and Jon Orwant
ISBN 0-596-00027-8 [3rd edition July 2000]

(English, translations to several languages are also available)

Hi,

I am please to announce a preview release of Dao (1.0). Dao is a
simple yet powerful object-oriented programming language featured by,
optional typing, BNF-like macro system, regular expression,
multidimensional numeric array, asynchronous function call for
concurrent programming etc.

Since the last beta release (2006 november), a number of new features
have been added to the language with some significant improvements on
the implementation. Here I will just list some of them:

1. Added a new typing system, so that the type of an variable can be
either declared explicitly or inferred implicitly, and type checking
is performed at compiling time when possible. More over the type
information is used for function overloading and function
specialization (with type-optimized VM instructions) according to
paramter types. Some types can be compounded into new types, e.g.,
list, tuple>...

2. A flexible macro-system that allows writting macro in a form close
to BNF, and can be used to define new syntax;

2.10: Where should I post source code?

You should post source code to whichever group is most appropriate, but
feel free to cross-post to comp.lang.perl.misc. If you want to
cross-post to alt.sources, please make sure it follows their posting
standards, including setting the Followup-To header line to NOT include
alt.sources; see their FAQ ( http://www.faqs.org/faqs/alt-sources-intro/
) for details.

If you're just looking for software, first use Google (
http://www.google.com ), Google's usenet search interface (
http://groups.google.com ), and CPAN Search ( http://search.cpan.org ).
This is faster and more productive than just posting a request.

I generate a series of paper files every morning, anywhere from a few
dozen to a couple of thousand. I have copied the function that I use
below. This function takes a file name, which is an ASCII file with a
name like 'john_doe.txt' with a number of fields (name, address,
previous college, enrollment date, etc., maybe 30 in all) and the
resulting output is distriubted to personnel for further processing
and filing (in a physical file folder -- which is one reason why we
need to actually print the file).

We have an employee who has been used to getting output from an Access
database. The field names are printed in italic, the values are
printed in san-serif, and the values have nice little boxes drawn
around them. She has convinced everyone that they all need pretty
output rather than a plain ASCII output.

So ... I'm sitting here wondering how I can convince the printer to
print some part in italics, some part in sans-serif, and draw pretty
boxes. Any ideas?

Thanks, CC.

2.9: What are the Perl newsgroups on Usenet? Where do I post questions?

Several groups devoted to the Perl language are on Usenet:

comp.lang.perl.announce Moderated announcement group
comp.lang.perl.misc High traffic general Perl discussion
comp.lang.perl.moderated Moderated discussion group
comp.lang.perl.modules Use and development of Perl modules
comp.lang.perl.tk Using Tk (and X) from Perl

comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi Writing CGI scripts for the Web.

2.8: Where can I get information on Perl?

The complete Perl documentation is available with the Perl distribution.
If you have Perl installed locally, you probably have the documentation
installed as well: type "man perl" if you're on a system resembling
Unix. This will lead you to other important man pages, including how to
set your $MANPATH. If you're not on a Unix system, access to the
documentation will be different; for example, documentation might only
be in HTML format. All proper perl installations have fully-accessible
documentation.

You might also try "perldoc perl" in case your system doesn't have a
proper man command, or it's been misinstalled. If that doesn't work, try
looking in /usr/local/lib/perl5/pod for documentation.
