Well, not without warnings, but I don't really want to hook $SIG{__WARN__} looking for specific strings, which is pretty fragile.

"utf8" and "UTF-8" are not the same. UTF-8 can only encode characters in Unicode, but utf8 will use UTF-8's algorithm to encode all "characters" up to 0xffffffffffffffff. So while something may be valid utf8, it might not be valid UTF-8. Confused yet? Perl ignores case and treats "-" and "_" as equal, so you could also refer to UTF-8 as "utf-8" (as I usually do) or "utf_8" (or "UtF-8" and so on). You can call UTF-8 "utf-8-strict" also.

This is a Perl thing. In Unicode, there only 2**21 codepoints. So while the UTF-8 encoding algorithm *works* on numbers bigger than that, it doesn't make sense. So in Perl, when you say "UTF-8", it will die when you do something that doesn't make sense. If you say "utf8", it will just use the utf-8 encoding algorithm to dump whatever data it has in memory.

Come up to my place in Rogers Park and we'll play with git and I'll provide dinner. Jon Rockway has already said he'll help out :) Bring your laptop with you (or you'll be forced to use one of my old Macs). We'll show you how to set up a repo, share it with others, make patches, apply patches, and other source control stuff. If you're interested, RSVP with me and I'll send you directions. Please note if you are a vegetarian so I can make sure dinner works for you. :) Oh, and it's BYOB, although I do have a couple bottles of wine and the makings for cocktails. -- brian d foy http://www.pair.com/~comdog/ From lembark at wrkhors.com Thu Oct 9 10:46:54 2008 From: lembark at wrkhors.com (Steven Lembark) Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2008 13:46:54 -0400 Subject: [Chicago-talk] Need help with a very, very unlazy situation.

Message-ID: <43299c0d0810231345t1f19b0aak501108c329681573@mail.gmail.com> Hi gang, I'm hoping someone familiar with this module can help me out, as searching the web has failed. I'm trying to create a new campaign with the Yahoo::Marketing module as detailed here: http://search.cpan.org/~shenj/Yahoo-Marketing-4.30/lib/Yahoo/Marketing.pm#Example_1_-_creating_a_campaign but it fails with this error: SOAP FAULT! String: XML document invalid. Code: E1037 Message: XML document invalid. - I'm sure my credentials and permissions are right, since I can use Yahoo's test file yahoo_ews_client.pl just fine. - I'm using a start date in the future, as required, and an end date for a year later. I can't tell what's causing the XML to be invalid though. Dumping the stream from SOAP::Lite I can see that it is actually a well-formed XML document, so I don't know what the deal is. Anyone encountered this before and have a solution? ~Scott -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The README for DBD::ODBC suggests that you build it by hand, because there are problems if you do it using the CPAN shell. (I tried it, and it doesn't work) I can make the Makefile, and it builds just fine. But when you run make test, it comes back with the 3 errors shown below. I'm using: perl Makefile.PL MAKE=dmake dmake dmake test TEST_VERBOSE=1 I've tried doing the tests using a local Access database DSN, SQL Server DSN, and Excel file DSN. They all fail (slightly differently). The errors below are when using SQL Server 2000.

Maybe google the results of testing DBD::ODBC against MSSQL and db requirements and environment flags before running tests. multi-platform testing is a pain and I'll bet this is just a "do this before that" issue.

Git is an open source version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency, but just as well suited for small personal repositories; it is especially popular in the open source community, serving as a development platform for projects like the Linux Kernel, Ruby on Rails, WINE, X.org, and even the Perl core.

As you know, on Windows the line terminator is the two character sequence [carriage-retrun, line-feed] aka "\r\n", rather than Unix [line-feed] aka " \n". Sometimes, the creator of the test makes sample data that includes the carriage-return. Sometimes, the test itself dynamically creates a data file and if you are on a windows platform the new data file might have a carriage-return on output, but the input might not be prepared for that. I have had these issues when building under Cygwin. In Cygwin, there is the Unix utility "od" (octal dump) which can be run in character mode; this will let you look at the file under the test or "t" directories. Use option "-c" to run in character mode: $ od -c myfile You might also have utilities like the following: unix2dos dos2unix Alternatively, you might consider just skipping the test phase, and going straight to install. Then, run a test of your own.

I hope to be a regular attendee in the future. I'm not sure what you talked about, but the msysGit guys (http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/) need help compiling Perl and the git-svn bindings for the msys environment on Windows. You can read the saga here: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/w/list In order to get more users attracted to Git on Windows, the git-svn component has to work. Currently it doesn't. So, if anyone wants to jump in and help, let Johannes Schindelin know vi the msysgit email list.
