Everyone is welcome, no registration required (but if you want you can send me an email if you plan to come, so that I have an idea of how many people are coming and so that I can contact you if there is any change of program). Cheers, Frederic ---- cut ---- cut ---- cut ---- cut ---- cut ---- cut ---- cut ---- cut Tuesday 17 February, 11am WEHI Lecture Theater (http://www.wehi.edu.au/about/locations.html) Parkville Prof Damian Conway School of Computer Science and Software Engineering, Monash University. Title: The Perl 6 Programming Language Abstract: Perl 6 will be a major improvement on Perl 5 in many ways: syntactically, semantically, psychologically, and performance-wise. This talk looks at what is known, surmised, guessed, wished for, and dreaded about Perl 6. It discusses the history, motivations, syntax, semantics, and likely idioms of the new Perl. About the speaker: Damian Conway holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and is an Honorary Associate Professor with the School of Computer Science and Software Engineering at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. He is also the CEO and chief presenter of Thoughtstream Pty Ltd, an I.T. training company based in Australia. Thoughtstream provides world-class Perl training to Fortune 50 corporations, educational institutions, and government agencies around the world. Damian is the author of numerous well-known Perl software modules including: Class::Contract, Text::Autoformat, Parse::RecDescent, Text::Balanced, Lingua::EN::Inflect, Class::Multimethods, Switch, Quantum::Superpositions, NEXT, Filter::Simple, Attribute::Handlers, Inline::Files, and Coy (all available from your local CPAN mirror). A leading member of the international Perl community, Damian was the winner of the 1998, 1999, and 2000 Larry Wall Awards for Practical Utility. He is a member of the technical committee for the annual Open Source Conference, and author of the book "Object Oriented Perl". Renowned for his skills as a speaker, and for the entertaining and often off-beat nature of his technical talks, Damian is widely sought-after as a conference speaker. Currently Damian is collaborating with Larry Wall on the design of the new Perl 6 programming language.

If you mentally separate the role of "application" (script) from "application container" (runtime environment), then it's clearly up to the container to construct application-instance-specific URIs.

You can check $ENV{'SERVER_PORT'} to find out if the request came in on port 80, 443 (hence - probably - HTTPS) or a non-standard one. > 3) It does not necessarily come in with the host name that was selected > (ie: the HTTP 1.1) I think $r->hostname does actually reflect the hostname specified in the HTTP/1.1 Host header.

Anyway, it has an editfiles section which does some cool file editing stuff, although even the creator agrees the syntax is bad. Anyway, I was wondering if there are any perl modules which allow you to do something like (this is sort of a cross between cfengine and perl and pseudocode): with { ReplaceAll /regex/ With "string" IF Exists Line "" AppendLine "" } If cfengine sees this, it reads in the file mentioned in filename, and performs the listed transforms.

It has plenty of weak spots, IMO, and the file editing is one of them. Perl would actually make it much nicer. > Anyway, it has an editfiles section which does some cool file editing > stuff, although even the creator agrees the syntax is bad.

You probably want the 'cfperl' project, , which does this sort of thing in Perl. > Anyway, are there any modules with this stuff built in? Personally, I am starting to think that what *I* want is someone, possibly me, to build a set of Perl modules that do the things that cfengine does. /That/ would be a fine thing for the world.

If I change href back to B.pl, normal behaviour resumes. I'm bewildered by this. Is there something special in CGI which causes downloading rather than execution? Help, please.

There's nothing special in CGI, and it's the job of the web-server to determine if a given file should be executed, or simply returned in response to an http request. I would suggest that you check to see if the execute bit remains set on the file after you make the change. Many web-server configurations will refuse to execute a file that does not have the execute bit set. (This is assuming you're using a UNIX flavoured system that has an execute bit to set.) Besides from that, changing a URL (presumably a string) in a given file should not alter how the web server interprets that file.
