I suppose what makes it different from other perlxs tutorial pages is that I try to use copy and paste examples. I'll add links to other useful pages too. http://www.rappture.org/wiki/DevelopersPerlExtending dsk From jacoby at csociety.ecn.purdue.edu Wed Nov 15 09:20:37 2006 From: jacoby at csociety.ecn.purdue.edu (David Jacoby) Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2006 12:20:37 -0500 (EST) Subject: [Purdue-pm] XSS and Firefox 2.0 Message-ID: Just did a test. I changed my code to do the Ajax.get on a URL with an absolute path on csociety.org. http://csociety.org/~jacoby/Code/AJAX/small_ff20.html Thing is csociety.org is also pm.purdue.org, so if we call the same page on another server http://pm.purdue.org/~jacoby/Code/AJAX/small_ff20.html You'll see it flakes. And yes, in afterthought it might be nice to have a better failure mode for this example code, like "information not found", but I'll beat myself up about this later. Interestingly, it used to work on IE 6, but it does not on IE 7. -- Dave Jacoby jacoby at csociety.org setenv EDITOR /usr/bin/vi From westerman at purdue.edu Wed Nov 15 09:09:21 2006 From: westerman at purdue.edu (Rick Westerman) Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2006 12:09:21 -0500 Subject: [Purdue-pm] Perl Modules & C Libraries In-Reply-To: <455B350B.6060406@csociety.org> References: <455B350B.6060406@csociety.org> Message-ID: <7.0.1.0.0.20061115115704.032c4d30@purdue.edu> At 10:40 AM 11/15/2006, derrick wrote: >I put my notes up from yesterday's talk on building Perl Modules from C >Libraries, Thanks Derrick. The examples are very complete and I was able to use them to replicate some of the examples you showed last night. You may wish to put down that 'h2xs -cn Example' will create the proper directory structure to do a C-to-Perl interface. Your current 'h2xs -X Example' code does not create this ... and it is this directory that we generally want. For the people who were at the meeting last night, I asked Derrick what would happen if I sent floating point numbers to a C routine that expected integers. As might be expected Perl handles this gracefully via truncating the floating point numbers into ints. -- Rick Westerman westerman at purdue.edu Bioinformatics specialist at the Genomics Facility.
