So I hope I can get a quick help from my dear perlists. UTF-8 is just binary. If your link can't handle 8-bit characters, then uuencode the UTF-8 and uudecode it on the other end. My guess is that's not the problem -- your terminal (or shell) are probably confused by UTF-8 and you need to play around with locales.

I can't remember what versions of perl I was using at the time, but I was using IO::Socket to send data between two Linux machines. I wasn't even using utf-8. After transfer, the file would be corrupt on the destination machine. One had a perl I had compiled myself, and one had the default perl that came with the distribution. I didn't investigate it too thoroughly, I just tar-ed up my compiled perl and put it on the other machine and everything worked.

I did precisely "nothing", for long enough time, that I also then recieved the corresponding "nothing" seal-of-approval for my record. This merely buries the legal records deeply enough that for nearly all practical purposes, I've never been convicted. This does nothing to the hearts and minds of humans who have been around me, or databases that have their own view of history. This is also not an admission by the state that the conviction was without merit, only that time has passed. Don't get me wrong. This is a good, freeing thing for me, and I'm very happy that I've made it to this point. But it doesn't reset me in all respects, and certainly doesn't give me back any part of the lost resources over the past 13 years. However, I'm a big boy, and I'll move on. -- Randal L.

It depends. The perl code itself is write-once run anywhere. If you use operating-system specific features they may not be portable between systems. For example, the values returned by 'stat' on windows may not have a lot to do with what you'd get on *NIX. *NIX and OS/X (which is basically BSD) are pretty much portable. Filesystms are particularly pernicious in this respect (e.g., don't try to find "c:\usr" on linux). File::Spec goes a long way to standardizing these things. -- Steven Lembark 85-09 90th Street Workhorse Computing Woodhaven, NY 11421 lembark at wrkhors.com +1 888 359 3508 From hwigoda at mindspring.com Wed Mar 7 14:48:05 2007 From: hwigoda at mindspring.com (Hal Wigoda) Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2007 16:48:05 -0600 Subject: [Chicago-talk] perl question In-Reply-To: <934133.87897.qm@web36514.mail.mud.yahoo.com> References: <934133.87897.qm@web36514.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <690902FF-56D7-46EC-87C2-03C96257459B@mindspring.com> yes.

The perl executable performs the compile automatically as part of running the code (sort of like gcc calling the assembler for you to create object files). That provides the portability between systems (source is the only thing that has to be moved). It's also why calling Perl an "interpreter" is incorrect: the execution engine doesn't have to re-interpret the source as, say, a shell program would be. Beyond the code itself, however, many functins within Perl are rather specific to *NIX. The password and group lookups return a gecos filed, for example, that has nada to do with msdog or VMS. The O'Reilly perl for SysAdmins book gives a good look at writing cross-platform coding (e.g., using File::Spec instead of join '/', @dirz, $basename). -- Steven Lembark 85-09 90th Street Workhorse Computing Woodhaven, NY 11421 lembark at wrkhors.com +1 888 359 3508 From jason at hostedlabs.com Thu Mar 8 07:00:36 2007 From: jason at hostedlabs.com (Jason Rexilius) Date: Thu, 08 Mar 2007 09:00:36 -0600 Subject: [Chicago-talk] perl question In-Reply-To: <45F01ECE.70205@wrkhors.com> References: <20070307233119.4FE932439A7@node002.hostedlabs.com> <7D2944D5-FA02-4A77-911A-8FB2839AC122@petdance.com> <45F01ECE.70205@wrkhors.com> Message-ID: <45F02514.1040101@hostedlabs.com> I think the poor guys brain is going to pop with that one ;-) But yes, it is difficult to write a single perl program and have it truly cross platform. I think the best way to get started is reading the various books people have mentioned and getting a windows box loaded with Active State's perl and a linux box and start hacking. I learned perl by coding, as I think most people did, so I always advocate jumping right in and giving it a try. One of the many things I love about perl is that you dont have to compile it and you can test every little change right as you are making it. Really friendly to rapid learning and development.

I'm going to talk about learning Haskell for half the time (or so), and then we'll have the Text Editor Wars (tm). Josh said he'd talk about Eclipse, and I'll talk about Emacs, but it would be great if others were willing to talk a bit about their favorite features in their favorite text editors. Someone should talk about vi, for example :) Anyway, if you're coming, please RSVP (so we can get you past security). All are welcome. If you'd like to talk about an editor, just let the list know.
