I have attended several of your meetings in San Diego and got advice from many of you, but now I need to look over someone's shoulder as they show me how to get ImageMagick working. I have a RedHat subscription and I'd like to use rpm's from the RedHat site when possible. I'll be in S.D. several times this month. If I bring my RedHat box will someone help this struggling (chemical) engineer sort out this tangle of modules and libraries? I got a couple of encouraging e-mail threads going in the Yuma area, but when I ask to meet for a tutorial they go silent. What's wrong? It couldn't be a body odor thing.

IIRC, you can look at your path in the shell typing echo %PATH% or something. I don't recall where or how to modify the default.

That works. One shebang fits all - here and on-line. I just change it when I install ActivePerl. There's an option in the installer to choose a different directory. > Of course if I shell out to DOS and type: perl temp.pl I run into > trouble.

As someone else pointed out, it's in System->Advanced->Environment Variables on Windows. It won't show up in any cmd windows you had running before the change. In an XP cmd window you can look at your path with the "path" command or with "echo %Path%" Or just use Unix/Linux :) From joel at fentin.com Thu Feb 9 22:38:55 2006 From: joel at fentin.com (Joel Fentin) Date: Thu, 09 Feb 2006 22:38:55 -0800 Subject: [San-Diego-pm] question In-Reply-To: <66304A1704D6FF4C88CCB39CB7A6ADA30129518E@gafcon-5.gafcon.local> References: <66304A1704D6FF4C88CCB39CB7A6ADA30129518E@gafcon-5.gafcon.local> Message-ID: <43EC34FF.40503@fentin.com> Lance J.

Lance, billdav, & David Romano. Thank you. Problem was solved by substituting usr for perl in the path statement. I had no idea where the path statement was. It use to be in autoexec.bat but then it wandered off. -- Joel Fentin tel: 760-749-8863 FAX: 760-749-8864 Email me: http://fentin.com/me/ContactMe.html Biz Website: http://fentin.com Personal Website: http://fentin.com/me From menolly at mib.org Mon Feb 13 08:52:34 2006 From: menolly at mib.org (Menolly) Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 08:52:34 -0800 (PST) Subject: [San-Diego-pm] Meeting this Monday In-Reply-To: <20060209194301.GA18325@energoncube.net> References: <20060209194301.GA18325@energoncube.net> Message-ID: I can't be there until ~8, but I'll be there! -- Cathy On Thu, 9 Feb 2006, Bob Kleemann wrote: > Just a quick reminder folks, there will be a meeting this Monday, > February 13, at the normal place and time (Panera Bread on Mira Mesa > Blvd, 7PM).

About 200 people attended the event and it was a great success, largely due to strong support from the participating User and Technology Interest Groups. Consider this an official invitation for the SD PERL Mongers to join us again at the Third Annual March Mingle. Just like last year, the March Mingle is a technology agnostic event that brings together developers of all kinds, a sort of annual "Technology Woodstock" or "Ultimate Geek Happy Hour" for San Diego. No sales or technical presentations, just talking shop and munching on finger food while relaxing and enjoying the games and atmosphere. Thanks to our sponsors, we will have a buffet of finger food and plenty of door prizes, including software and books. Since your group participated last year, I've already listed your group as a "participating group" on the new website. If you'd like your group to participate again this year, I just ask that you use whatever normal announcement vehicles you employ for meeting announcements to let your membership know about this event. Ideally this would include a mention and link on your Group's website and an announcement via email. Feel free to forward this entire email message to your membership, or adjust it to suit your needs. Also, please send me a note confirming that your group would like to participate. When: Wed, March 22nd, 5:30PM - 9:00PM Where: Dave and Busters (map @ marchmingle.com) Cost: Free Finger Food (Cash Bar) RSVP/Info: http://www.marchmingle.com Sponsors: Adobe (adobe.com) More on the way... If you have any questions or comments, please call my cell, AIM or Email me! Hope to see your group there! -Cameron President, San Diego ColdFusion User Group --- cell: 678.637.5072 aim: cameroncf email: cameronc at mindspring.com ----- End forwarded message -----
