Just as a follow-up to our last meeting, I think we don't have too much to do on the coding end of things in order to get the new site online.  IIRC, we're still waiting on Stuart for some of the XML functionality.  Is this correct?  Anything else that is holding us up?

Hi Folks,

I'm a bit clueless when it comes to vim.  Given comments in code which look like this:

# blah
# blah blah blah blah
# blah

I'd like to be able to reflow them to look like this:

# blah blah blah blah blah blah

I'd like to preserve indentation and respect the line wrap at X chars to that anything which spills over to the next line is correctly commented and indented. I had looked at this stack overflow question, but it's not working for me.  However, that may just be because I'm "doing it wrong".

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7338214/nicely-formatting-long-comments-in-vim

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks! That's almost there, but it leaves me with this:

 # blah # blah blah blah blah # blah

I guess I'd need to uncomment it first and then re-comment?

This came the closest of all, but it wasn't quite perfect.  It turns out that selecting the lines and and then "gq" solves it.  I had stupidly had ":set paste" in my .vimrc which was messing with the formatting.

Thanks to everyone for your help!

Maybe something like this would be better:

:function CCC()
:  let l = line(".") + 1
:  let content = getline(l)
:  if(content =~ "^\\s*#")
:    execute "normal Jdf#"
:    call CCC()
:  endif
:endfunction

:map ccc :call CCC()<CR>

On a Unix or Linux system you can also use "par" (if it's installed) to
reflow a paragraph intelligently; it knows about repeated characters at
the start of each line.

!}par
will filter from here to the next blank line;
!Lpar
will go from here to the bottom of the screen
and so on and so forth.

I use Emacs + c-perl-mode with Damian Conway's recommended settings
from the PBP book (though I use 4 space indents). Emacs modes are
pretty consistent so hitting Esc-x on any paragraph will reflow any
paragrah in any mode. If they are comments it will adjust the comment
character intelligently as well.

gq} will do that in vim too. But, "there's more than one way to do

Yes, it could. Be sure to read the follow-up

Shopping for the Geek in Your Life

The hardest person on your list to shop for is Andrew. Why? Because he just won't tell you what he needs or wants. It's not because he doesn't want anything; it's just that telling you isn't logical. If he needs it or wants it, he'll get it himself, right? In the meantime, you're left with trying to figure out the perfect gift for someone who spends 18 hours at a stretch in front of his computer (including meal times) and answers most of your questions with, "Um, okay" while looking like he wonders what planet you're from.

So here's the secret to making Andrew happy with your holiday gift. Get him the perfect programming book from O'Reilly. Just look (or ask him) what color his favorite O'Reilly books are, and select one you don't see on his shelf. He uses ebooks, you say? That's easy too: ask, "What do you think about JavaScript Web Applications?" Keep at it until you find one he doesn't know. Sure, it's a little work but it'll pay off. This year you won't have to see his unenthusiastic smile as he opens yet-another-geek t-shirt that in a moment of madness you thought he'd find amusing.

Message-ID: <348FBDE1-620F-437D-AD47-D5E834B23F0D@stok.ca>

Season's greetings to you all.

I am looking for one or two people to give presentations at the first Toronto Perl Mongers meeting of 2012, on Thursday 26 January.  

I am looking for a volunteer to run (or help run) the Toronto Perl Mongers.  The key piece of work is to make something happen each month, keep the web site up to date, and deal with mailing list adminstrivia (typically cleaning out spam a few times a week.)

Looking forward to seeing a few of you at C'est What? (67 Front Street, http://www.cestwhat.com/) on the 29th.

Mike

Message-ID: <CAG0DXd6rKQ0vUfz6FWrMfHsct2zhitwpg1T5Sjkc_58sXrKFXQ@mail.gmail.com>

My brother is moving a simple web site for someone, but while he is
competent handling HTML, he doesn't program. I developed a simple CGI
script to email the contents of the form .... not expected to be large
volume, but it will be information that needs to be incorporated into the
history being presented, along with pictures and such  files to be added.

The script worked fine on my website and on my brother's, but arriving to
the server actually being used, it's a windows machine ( so I changed the
#! as instructed ); they won't let me do more that ftp up the file. They
don't have sendmail. How can I send mail from a  windows machine using
MIME-Lite, without having local sendmail. All mail will be going to one
address.

Use Mail::Transport::SMTP.

You will need to know the name or IP address of an SMTP server that you can use.  This will come from the ISP.

Use port 587, not 25.

I haven't touched Windows in quite a while, but you could check if
Windows/IIS has .pl files associated with Perl (if memory serves, Windows
bypasses the shebang line). If executing the script isn't the issue, then
you can try to set MIME::Lite to send using smtp with the following (taken
from CPAN docs)

As a class method:

    MIME::Lite->send('smtp','some.host',Debug=>0);

or when sending the message:

    ### use Net:SMTP to do the sending
    $msg->send('smtp','some.host', Debug=>1 );


Cheers
