Hey Perl Mongers,

Just a quick reminder, we have our monthly meeting next week.  So come on by
to Panera Bread around 7 PM on Thursday and we can talk about your questions
and comments, Damian's talk, future presentations, SOAP::Lite, and anything
else that people can think of.

I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Hi Miguel,

Your best source of information would probably be the general San Diego Perl
Mongers mailing list, which I'm CC'ing this message to.  If you're not
subscribed, it's quite easy to do and is worth doing for questions like these.

Message-ID: <20081017192756.GB21656@chrisgrau.com>

=head1 NAME

SanDiego::Meeting::Social - Social gathering of the San Diego Perl
Mongers

=head1 DATE

Thursday, 16 October 2008, 19:00 - 21:00

=head1 LOCATION

Panera Bread, Mira Mesa, Calif., USA

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a simple meeting recap, conveniently written in pod so everyone
can read it in whatever format they prefer.  If you lack an appropriate
formatter, well, you can always write one.  As an added bonus, if you're
using a decent MUA *cough*Mutt*cough*, a formatter is only a few
keystrokes away:

    macro pager ,pd "<pipe-message>pod2text<enter>"

=head1 ATTENDEES

In no particular order.

=over

=item 

Bob

=item

Manny

Who spent some quality alone time before the meeting with Bob and a pink plush
camel between them.

=item

Brad

=item

Tracy

Joined by his better half.

=item

Chris

=item

Miguel

First timer, looking for some help with Perl and XML.

=item

George

=item

Rod

=item

Brian

=item

Urivan

=item

Al

=item

Andy

First timer.  Yet another Qualcommer.

=item

Ryan

Also joined by his better half, who skipped belly dancing to be with us.  A
change of venue to said belly dancing was briefly considered by the group.

=item

Cathy

=back

Qualcomm Ratio = 5:9

Notably missing was Jonathan.  Unfortunately, heavy traffic prevented him from
joining us.  He did pop on to the IRC channel to say hi during the meeting.

=head1 TOPICS

It was crowded.  It was loud.  Multiple conversations ebbed and flowed.  I
punted on the notes this time.

=head2 What's That Smell?

As usual, our Panera meeting ended shortly after 21:00 as the restaurant was
being closed and cleaned.  Sadly, the after-meeting meeting outside the side
door was cut short when we were driven away by the stench of raw sewage.

=head2 Meeting Location

The Panera Bread venue doesn't lend itself to the number of people we've been
able to attract lately.  To that end, we'd like to solicit ideas for a new
venue.  Free wi-fi is a requirement, and food would be a big bonus.  If anyone
has any ideas, please either post them to the list or contact Bob or me
off-list.

=head1 NEXT MEETING

Thursday, 20 November 2008, 19:00 - 21:00

Panera Bread, Mira Mesa, Calif., USA

I would like to check a few places, to help.

Message-ID: <48FD3DEB.3050508@fentin.com>

The following is within a perl program on the server. My goal is to know 
the width of the surfer's screen so that I can make adjustments.

my ($SWW);
print qq|
<script language="JavaScript">
   var SW = screen.width;
alert(SW);
</script>|;

# $SWW = SW;

===========================

How do you get the javascript value into a perl variable?

If SW is equal to 1280, how do I get that 1280 into $SWW?

Disclaimer #1: I haven't been a web developer for a few years.

When do you want this into a Perl variable?  On form submission?  That
would be easy enough, just have the JavaScript set a hidden input field.
If you want it at an arbitrary time, people use Ajax for that.

Disclaimer #2: I've never developed anything with Ajax.

http://search.cpan.org/~bpederse/CGI-Ajax-0.707/lib/CGI/Ajax.pm

There are probably a number of other modules that will do the job, but
that one looks like the simplest for a small script (like
CGI::Application versus Catalyst).

Well, you could call another URL with the screen.width as part of the URL.
Something like:

http://server/screen.pl?screen=screen.width

You'd call this URL within javascript with document.location.href. Then you
could use CGI.pm to take that screen value, and it'll all be within Perl.

Kind of a hack, I wouldn't want to do it for a bunch of javascript vars,
that's for sure.

Just add a hidden input field to the form before submit in pre-ajax style:

// not tested, probably has errors ... not robust at all (for
instance, doesn't handle multiple forms in a page)
var windowSize = document.createElement("input");
windowSize.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
windowSize.setAttribute("name", "window_size");
windowSize.setAttribute("id", "window_size");
windowSize.setAttribute("value", window.width + "x" + window.height);
document.getElementsByTagName()[0].appendChild(windowSize);

Or something like that ...
