If you can, use ftp, samba or a usb thumb drive/usb hard drive to grab a copy of the data. If that fails or the laptop is the actual issue you'll need a drive interface ( I do have one, but I'm up in Brampton ), also Tiger sells a USB - ATA enclosure for 12.99 ( http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1042924&CatId=2781 ). If you can't read the drive then the next thing to do is make an image of the drive and work on the image to see if you can repair it. Besides Knoppix there is the bootable cd's from www.sysresccd.org or for windows is a bootable live XP or dos tool called Hiren's BootCD ( http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd ). If that fails then the next option is to try SpinRite to repair the drive. If that fails your SOL or looking at taking it to Critical Data Recovery, but that is not cheap! Last time I sent a drive it was 1400 for the recovery.

This is all free stuff. Source level debugging works OK, although I have had a few issues with Catalyst applications on Windows. In practice, I tend to use the classic command-line debugger for most debugging, but EPIC does do source-level stepping, variable inspection, etc. Eclipse also has the advantage I'm using the same environment to edit templates, CSS, JavaScript, etc. For bar-column charts, I now use a JavaScript toolkit (Dojo) rather than rendering them server-side. This makes them more interactive, and they look better too. With a little patience, most modules which can work in ActiveState will install in Strawberry. So do a lot which don't work/aren't available in ActiveState, as you can fiddle with the scripts.

ActivePerl does not cost money. However, it does have restrictive licensing terms. 2.

'Render on Caesar'. I have two 10 minute items I can do if there's room and interest. #1 - Perl & Android - Getting GUI Recently the Android Scripting Environment (ASE) was renamed Scripting Layer 4 Android. The second release (SL4A r1) was just posted a couple days ago which address several issues from my talk a couple months back - including packaging scripts for distribution on the Android Market and creating GUI's with a WebView. #2 - Pirate Party of Canada - One year on Last year I described a bit about the Pirate Party of Canada and we had some short discussion on IP & Privacy matters. There's been a lot of activity in the last year and I'd be happy to talk a bit about what we've been up to. -- ? Scott Elcomb ? http://www.psema4.com/?? @psema4 ?

I told them that my C experience is weak, to be polite, and that the bulk of my experience is in Perl. They want to give me a chance though, so I've been given some time to write a relatively simple C program. So my question is; Can anyone recommend a C tutorial, guide or similar aimed at Perl programmers? Most of the guides I've found assume little to no programming experience, so I've spent a lot of time reading things I know. Normally I wouldn't mind, but I've got a fairly limited amount of time to submit this program and prove my ability to learn. I'm specifically not talking about the program, as I want to see for myself how quickly I can adapt. The main things I need to know are file reads and string manipulation, if that helps with recommending resources. Thanks in advance all! If this wasn't such a potential awesome job on the line, I'd not bother the list with non-perl stuff. :) -- Digimer E-Mail: linux at alteeve.com AN!Whitepapers: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org From shlomif at iglu.org.il Sat Aug 28 02:00:46 2010 From: shlomif at iglu.org.il (Shlomi Fish) Date: Sat, 28 Aug 2010 12:00:46 +0300 Subject: [tpm] Perl to C learnings In-Reply-To: <4C788F46.5080002@alteeve.com> References: <4C788F46.5080002@alteeve.com> Message-ID: <201008281200.47089.shlomif@iglu.org.il> Hi Digimer, On Saturday 28 August 2010 07:23:34 Digimer wrote: > Hi all, > > This may seem like an odd post, but I have a potential job lined up.

When installing the required modules, at least one of those modules tells CPAN to upgrade Perl (from 5.10 to 5.12); this completely messed up my previous Debian 5 environment. After that little learning experience, I've moved to virtualization (under Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) so I can take snapshots and simply revert to an earlier image when/if things blow up. Unfortunately, I still haven't figured out a way to safely upgrade the system-wide Perl installation without affecting other installed debian packages. It looks like they're working on getting a package out[1], but I can't wait... I need to get this working asap. If worst comes to worst, I'll just do same as before (build, install into /usr/local then symlink /usr/bin/perl to the 5.12 install). It was ugly but mostly sorta worked. Any suggestions?

I know that the Debian base Perl is pretty good, but it is installed for a different purpose (to help manage the OS) and cannot be guaranteed to be maintained as you need. It isn't too bad to do this, and most of your modules will probably build OK. If you stick with the OS Perl there is a risk that an OS update breaks something for you, or that you break the OS in some subtle way by upgrading a system module. I tend to use PATH hacking rather than a link, though, so that perldoc and the cpan command and its friends relate to your Perl rather than the system one. I just tend to regard the OS Perl is best not touched, or even used, when I can help it. I learnt this approach through bitter experience with OSX and CentOS, both of which had slightly funny Perl versions, which generally were best left alone. I did slightly break my Mac briefly (temporarily) by upgrading a CPAN module in a way that was incompatible with some Perl stuff that Apple used somewhere internally.
