Perhaps you'd like to talk to use about your favourite Perl Module, or one that you've recently encountered which solved your problem for you? You could walk us through creating tests to achieve 100% coverage. Perhaps you'd like to show us some of your favourite debugging tips, editor hacks, or useful tools. Think hard and when you come up with something send it through to this list. If you'd like to talk about something but August is too soon mention it anyway and we can put you down for October. If there's something you'd really like to hear about, but don't know yourself, mention that you'd like a presentation on it. For example, would you like to know more about Perl TK? How about using the Perl debugger? Profiling? Tracking memory usage? If you ask for a presentation it might encourage those with the knowledge to realise that they do have something to share. I'm probably going to be too busy over the next month to actually organise anything, but if you speak up now, you'll make next month's meeting much easier for the committee. all the best, Jacinta -- ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ | Jacinta Richardson | `6_ 6 ) `-.

I found this to be extremely powerful for writing a complex data validator (that was ultimately junked as the client could never decide what was and was not valid...sigh). My problems in writing this are several 1. I am not an expert in grammars - I dont even really know what LR and LL imply - hence my academic credentials for this most academic of subjects are shot to pieces 2. Theres a lot of terminology and theory behind P::RD, not all of which I understand 3. I tried once before to write a talk on this, and it was so dry and dull and long I just gave up... So if I hear a clamoring of people saying 'personally I stay at home on Saturday nights, just so as I can polish my P::RD grammar, so your talk sounds like 45 minutes of bliss', then I'll try again. -- Leif Eriksen Snr Developer http://www.hpa.com.au/ phone: +61 3 9217 5545 email: leif.eriksen at hpa.com.au From alfiejohn at acm.org Mon Jul 11 04:16:51 2005 From: alfiejohn at acm.org (Alfie John) Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2005 21:16:51 +1000 Subject: [Melbourne-pm] August's meeting In-Reply-To: <42D1D0F3.8090204@perltraining.com.au> References: <42D1D0F3.8090204@perltraining.com.au> Message-ID: <9B06694E-CA88-4EC6-8DD7-457359E44EA2@acm.org> Hi guys, If there is any time left in the end during the August or October's meet, I would like to give a lightning talk on source filtering.

I have a program I am trying to port from Linux to Windows. The program uses quite a few fork()s. The basic structure is something like this: for (;;) { my $pid=fork; unless ($pid) { #Do something here. exit; } my $pid2=fork; unless ($pid2) { #do something else here exit; } my $pid3=fork; unless ($pid3) { #And do something different again here.. exit; } sleep($an_arbitrary_amount); kill ('USR1',$pid2); } Under Perl V5.6.1, is the fork function able to handle this, or do I need to use Win32::Process to create distinct processes for each child? I have heard that windows doesn't fork very well. And what about the kill(USR1)? Regards, Leigh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I think the status of fork is still experimental ... but since I've never played with fork on Win32, I'm hardly qualified to go around making categorical statements about it. The fork() function is unavailable on Win32 perls built without threads support - at least that was the case as recently as perl 5.8.3 (which is the only unthreaded perl I have to test with). That's probably not an issue since perl on Win32 is usually built with threads support. Otoh, I know that Win32::Process, which I have used, gives pretty good milage - though the coding is a little kludgy. Fwiw, I tried a slightly modified version of the sample you posted (running on perl 5.6, ActiveState build 810). use warnings; for (1..5) { my $pid=fork; unless ($pid) { print "Exiting at Stage 1\n"; exit; } my $pid2=fork; unless ($pid2) { print "Exiting at Stage 2\n"; exit; } my $pid3=fork; unless ($pid3) { print "Exiting at Stage 3\n"; exit; } print "sleeping ..."; sleep(1); print ".. awake\n"; kill ('USR1',$pid2); } __END__ Which produces: D:\pscrpt>perl try.pl Exiting at Stage 1 Exiting at Stage 2 Exiting at Stage 3 sleeping ..... awake Unrecognized signal name "USR1" at try.pl line 26. At which point the script dies. The output is exactly the same on perl 5.8.7. You would probably get more definitive advice regarding fork() from the perl-win32-users mailing list ( http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/ ) than you will from me :-) Hth.
