If I'm allowed to use Socket.pm then I can make the subs much shorter:

<CODE>
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Socket;

$ipnumber = ip2ipn( "192.168.0.1" );
if ( $ipnumber ) {
        print "IPN : $ipnumber\n";
        $ip = ipn2ip( $ipnumber );
        if ( $ip ) {
                print "IP  : $ip\n";
        }
}

sub ip2ipn {
     return unpack 'N', inet_aton(shift);
}

sub ipn2ip {
    return inet_ntoa( pack 'N', shift );
}

</CODE>

Sorry to reply to my own reply. Just a note that the above was
with freetds 0.53-7 - I don't know if later versions are
better.

Latest version is 0.61.

The numbers were numeric(18,0)s, if I remember correctly.

Many thanks to Spike for his solution on UX to MSSQL, a brilliant solution.
One actually has FULL functionality with this which includes stored procs,
triggers, creating DB's, users etc. I'm very impressed as I've tried almost
everything I've read on the net so far with no avail. All you actually need
is the freetds sybase library and teh DBD:Sybase module itself.
 
Well done
and many thanks,
Werner M?ller

Message-ID: <5.2.1.1.0.20030708124534.03a09458@pop3.mweb.co.za>


I have a hash of hashes and want to pass a reference to that HoH to a sub 
routine (which we call 'print_it' for this example).

So I go:-

<cut>
print_it(\%HoH);
<cut>

Now my problem comes when I want to de-reference the HoH values:-

<cut>

sub print_it

{
my $hash_ref = shift;
    foreach $key (keys %$hash_ref)
    {
       print "$key: ";
# up to here all is well!

# but I can't get the syntax to access the 'child' hash values
# This does not work:-

       foreach $code ( keys %{ %$hash_ref{$key} } )
       {
          #  print "$code = %$hash_ref{$key}{$code} ";
       }
# the problem is in the 'keys %{ %$hash_ref{$key}' bit.

<cut>

Using the hash directly the following would be valid:-

foreach $key (keys %HoH)
{
    print "$key: ";
    foreach $code ( keys %{ $HoH{$key} } )
    {
       print "$code = $HoH{$key}{$code} ";
    }
    print "\n";
}

Any ideas on the correct syntax??

Hi


Hope this helps.

There are various syntaxes that work, but I generally
use something like this:


#!/usr/bin/perl

my %hash;
$hash{first1}{second1} = 'hello';
$hash{first2}{second2} = 'world';
$hash{first3}{second3} = 1;

hash_display (\%hash);

sub hash_display {
        my $hash = shift;

        foreach my $key (keys %{ $hash }) {
                foreach my $subkey (keys %{ $$hash{$key} }) {
                        print "key $key, subkey $subkey, " . $$hash{$key}{$subkey} . "\n";
                }
        }
}


:~$ perl t.pl
key first1, subkey second1, hello
key first2, subkey second2, world
key first3, subkey second3, 1
:~$

dereferencing hash of hashes you do like this:
 
$$name_of_hash{'key1'}->{'key_of_inner_hash'};
 
I could be mistaken.

You have to either use threads (perldoc perlthrtut) or have several
perl processes running to take advantage of the extra CPUs.

Subject: [Za-pm] Spoofing UDP Packets
Message-ID: <200307121315.12136.nico@itfirms.co.za>


Hi all

Need some help. It seems since Kerlnel 2.4 ( Linux ), you cant 'spoof' the
source address of UDP packets. I need to do this to forward Netflow UDP
packets from Cisco devices to Netwatch (
<http://www.crannog-software.com/> ). Problem is, Netwatch sees my Linux
box as the source address for all the packets, and tries to do a SNMP walk
on my machine. Also, Netwatch can't forward Netflow pactets, so that's why
I get them first.

I already have a program that cathes the UDP pactets on the Linux box, and
then splits in in two, forwarding one leg to a Perl service on the Linux
box that does some Netflow analysis, and the second leg get's forwarded to the
Netwatch box. I tried with iptables to spoof the source address, but that
didn't work.

I can write a UDP client and UDP server ( from examples from the Perl
Cookbook ), but I want to know if my 'server' can simply rewrite the
source address and forward it to Netwatch.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Please forgive - I thought I rejected this, but it seems I didn't select the

Hi All
Anybody got ant recommendations for a perl graphing package. I need to 
present some database data as graphs on a web page. It's not complex data 
and I would like to find a nice simple-to-use package.

I couldn't get the image map code for HTML output to work. Hopefully they have 
fixed this, as I just don't have the time :)

BTW: something else you want want to look at is Ploticus 
<http://ploticus.sourceforge.net/> which has nothing realy to do with Perl, 
except that you can call it from Perl, and use it with your CGI/mod_perl 
environment. Also does wonders with MySQL data :)

humm, - it's the "time" bit I was hoping to avoid - just a nice simple 
package that would generate gifs.
