G'day Everyone,

Last year I was privileged enough to be involved in many different
facets of the Australian Perl community.  I was able to attend Perl
Mongers meetings across Australia.  I was able to teach both beginner
and experienced programmers.  I became involved with businesses that
either specialised in providing Perl services, or who use Perl for
internal development and regularly seek programmers.

Between all these groups, I discovered there was a common desire, for
there to be more connections in the Australian Perl community.

"Where can I find a job working with Perl?"
"Where can I find Perl developers or consultants?"
"Who else in Australia are using Perl, and what for?"
"How can I show my clients that there is plenty of Perl support in
Australia?"
"I want to help with a local Perl project, where do I start?"

Having a more active and more interconnected Perl community is something
that I feel would be of great benefit to us all.  As such, I have
registered the domain perl.net.au, installed MediaWiki, and placed upon
it the skeleton of a portal site.  It's my hope that perl.net.au will
become a central meeting point for the Perl community in Australia and
New Zealand.

PerlNet is at the very start of its life, and in order for it to become
a success it needs the input and attention of the community.  I'm
writing to you to ask for feedback, ideas, and contributions to PerlNet.

I'm only notifying select groups to begin with.  Many people will not
return to PerlNet if their first experience is a bad one, and currently
the site is very much under construction.  I want to be able to bring it
up to speed before announcing it to the world.

At the moment we're looking for content, ideas and suggestions.
Melbourne.PM is Australia's most active Perl user group, and I'd like to
encourage you to add to PerlNet whatever you feel is relevant to
yourself and your peers.  Don't be afraid to change things, the whole
purpose of the site is that it can be run and maintained by the
community.

If you have the time, I would appreciate it if you could go to
http://perl.net.au/ and give your contributions, feedback, and ideas.  I
also ask in particular that you read and respect the requests at:

    http://perl.net.au/wiki/PerlNet:Beta_phase

In particular, while you may tell other *individuals* to whom you feel
PerlNet has value, I'd ask that you do not otherwise publicise PerlNet.
Please do not mention PerlNet at user groups, in your journal/blog, or
in other media outlets.
 Once the site has grown further with your help we will be able make a
proper announcement to the world.

I sincerely look forward to your feedback and contributions.  I would
encourage you to provide these using the facilities on the site itself
on the community portal, in order to promote an open and transparent
discussion.  However, if there are matters that you wish to communicate
to me personally, feel free to do so by return e-mail.

All the very best, and thanks in advance for your contributions and
feedback,

	Paul

Hi

Is there a Perl script that allows you to view a text
file 132 column report without wrapping around.

OS: SCO Unix
TERM=ansi

I doubt that you'll find a ready-written perl script to do this.  What
you 
need to do is make sure that your terminal emulator is capable of 
understanding the DECCOLM switch which will allow the terminal to switch

between 80/132 column mode.

In most cases, the sequence:
        <esc>[?3h
will put the screen into 132-col condensed mode, and
        <esc>[?3i
will switch back to normal 80-col mode.

I spent _ages_ many years go tinkering with this, trying to get 132-col

reports to view properly in 'less'.  It can be a real PITA to get right
(what 
works for one terminal type never necessarily worked for another).

Once you get the sequences working, you might be able to wrap it in a
shell 
script:
        echo -e "\033[?3h"
        less $@
        echo -e "\033[?3i"

(FWIW, you can test this in "xterm -132" - it will jump to 132 col wide,
but 
it won't switch back to 80-col mode).

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

- Brendon.

Like I said, it can be a PITA and nothing's guaranteed ;-)

To switch out of condensed mode you might need something a bit more
"brutal", 
a full terminal reset perhaps:
	tput reset
	tput sgr0
(that's a zero, not letter 'o').  You might also need to do it like:
	echo `tput reset`

> Terminal Emulator is Powerterm, not sure what the
> DECCOLM switch is about

I believe It's a mnemonic (DEC column mode perhaps?) for a control
sequence 
described by DEC for their original VT terminals (from which a lot of
other 
terminal definitions were derived).  You could also have a look at:
	http://www.wlug.org.nz/console_codes(4)
might explain things a bit better than I can.

Good luck!

- Brendon.

Melbourne, Australia MySQL, Perl, PHP, Linux, guru programmer

# Working on an exciting global system
# Great company
# 1.5 Mbps home Internet connection included

If you're a Perlmonger and PHP guru with deep mastery of MySQL then this
is
the dream job that you've been looking for. Primarily this is a job for
a
talented and highly experienced programmer.

You'll be working in a small software company that is highly successful.

You'll be working directly with the Technical Director helping to
design,
develop and maintain a set of low-level Internet applications. You'll be
developing applications that drive a global distributed network
analyzing
and processing data in RFC821, RFC822 and RFC2822 format.

You'll be given a 1.5Mbps Internet connection for home and if you want
to
telework for a couple of days per week then that's fine. Most of your
time
will be spent working in the office just outside the CBD.

# We're looking for someone who thinks logically and can design the
architecture for new systems as well as write the code to build them.

# We're looking for someone who is creative and innovative, who can
contribute their good ideas and bring them to life in the software.

# We're looking for someone who is a tenacious problem solver, who will
absolutely work out what the problem is regardless of how tough.

# We're looking for someone who does this work because they love it -
perhaps maybe someone from the classic "Linux Hacker" culture (Hacker as
in
old-school coder, not as in Cracker).

# We're looking for someone who is self-driven and autonomous, who needs
minimal direction and can see what needs to be done and will take up the
challenge without the need for micro management.

# We're looking for someone with a deep understanding and experience of
SQL.
Someone who understands MySQL in depth. Someone who knows other database
systems such as Oracle however and can advise on future database
strategic
direction.

# We're looking for someone with first class verbal and written
communication skills. You must communicate extremely clearly and be
highly
articulate.

Our systems are running on Redhat Linux and while we're not looking for
a
Linux kernel hacker, it would be valuable if you have in-depth
experience
working with Linux.

Naturally you will be skilled in building user interfaces using
Javascript,
HTML, DHTML and CSS.

If you have solid C experience then that is an advantage but not
essential.

Formal qualifications would be good, but not a requirement. We're more
interested in what you can do than what piece of paper you have.

This is an exciting, growing company with great future possibilities.
You'd
be getting in on the ground floor. Send your resume to Andrew Stuart
info at xse.com.au

Please note this is a salaried full time role and we cannot accept
international or interstate applications.
