Also, I'd be happy to pass along what I've learned about Inline::C next time or whenever. Some of the material would be from practical experience, some from what I learned at Brian Ingerson's half day tutorial at the O'Reilly Conference.

I'm working on getting everything in place for the next to come. Just to let everyone know, Toorcon is a security confrence in San Diego that takes place on Sept. 28th-30th. (Friday, the first day, isn't anything interesting. Just registration opens and the reception.) The cost is $50 and I recommend everyone to go :) Unlike DefCon, it's not just people looking for a party, but good talks and good people. If we get a few more people to pre-reg with us, everyone gets $10 off and everyone gets a free T-shirt. So if you're interested in going, please tell us and we'll get some info to you. -- Samy Kamkar -- (877) 898-1424 -- CommPort5@LucidX.com LucidX.com / LA.pm.org From darkuncle at darkuncle.net Mon Sep 10 02:02:37 2001 From: darkuncle at darkuncle.net (Scott Francis) Date: Wed Aug 4 00:02:05 2004 Subject: LA.pm: Meeting on Saturday In-Reply-To: <3B9A76C0.255C8AB3@LucidX.com>; from CommPort5@LucidX.com on Sat, Sep 08, 2001 at 12:51:28PM -0700 References: <3B9955CA.B5B556EE@LucidX.com> <20010907164446.J27816@darkuncle.net> <3B9A76C0.255C8AB3@LucidX.com> Message-ID: <20010910000236.A36794@darkuncle.net> On Sat, Sep 08, 2001 at 12:51:28PM -0700, Samy Kamkar [CommPort5] pontificated: > You ever get your wireless MP3 setup goin?

Joe asked how I generate the map, so here's brief answer: 1. Drop data into a file that looks something like this: # Robert home: 34.186238 118.300898 work: 34.171746 118.323148 # etc... 2. Run simple perl script to convert it into tiger format, which looks like this. #tms-data -118.300898,34.186238:bludot10: -118.323148,34.171746:reddot10: This is what lets me put multiple points on the map. It's documented in the instructions document, which is a little hard to find. http://tiger.census.gov/instruct.html#MURL 3. Go to tiger web page, tell it the URL of the file generated in step 2. Tweak settings of position, scale, size, etc. 4. Save generated .gif file and put on web somewhere. It's really that simple. Joe- as for your specific question about circles, I don't think it's possible - but, you could probably make circles with a little bit of math and some small dots, or just draw them on afterwards :) One thing to remember about Tiger, is a) it's free, and b) it's mostly unsupported. It was an experiment, that thankfully (Thanks Lisa's coworkers!) they've kept running. -R From asudarikov at xceed.com Thu Sep 27 12:04:23 2001 From: asudarikov at xceed.com (Arkadiy Sudarikov) Date: Wed Aug 4 00:02:05 2004 Subject: LA.pm: Perl Tomorrow Message-ID: Hi peeps. Can Perl tell me about my tomorrow? See, I need to find out tomorrow's and yesterday's date (MM/DD/YYYY), based on arbitrary date supplied (MM/DD/YYYY).

Anyway, can anyone recommend a decent module or maybe have some kode Date::Manip is excellent, but overkill for this application. Check out Date::Calc . Using localtime() and Time::Local, this would be easy to do manually, but I won't post the code here because it is better to use a module like Date::Calc.

Though Jeff already suggested Date::Calc, which is probably a better way to go, its not the module producing the taint error, its your environment. The module uses a system call (with backticks), but your environment is tainted, and so the system call fails, as it should. You need to untaint $ENV{PATH} and $ENV{ENV} in your script, (set them to the empty string if you don't need'em for anything else).
