What system error do you get when you try? e.g. print out $@ Likely problems are - * permission denied, if you don't have write permission for /projects/people to remove an entry from it - to remove a directory you need write access to the parent directory on many operating systems, probably including our iPhone. * FILES directory isn't really empty, e.g. there's a "hidden" file whose name starts with a "." or there's a subdirectory * there's a bug in your program :) Note that you need to use rmdir to remove a directory.

I would also recommend against using sendmail due to its arcane > configuration syntax. From my experience, qmail and sendmail are for the real masochists. I'm currently in the process of moving from an old qmail install to postfix, which is a lot easier to configure and troubleshoot.

Did you have the guts to localize $^I and @ARGV to do that? Now you can do that with a simple call to edit_file or edit_file_lines in the new .018 release of File::Slurp. Now you can modify a file in place with a simple call. edit_file reads a whole file into $_, calls its code block argument and writes $_ back out the file. These groups are equivalent operations: perl -0777 -pi -e 's/foo/bar/g' filename use File::Slurp qw( edit_file ) ; edit_file { s/foo/bar/g } 'filename' ; edit_file sub { s/foo/bar/g }, 'filename' ; edit_file \&replace_foo, 'filename' ; sub replace_foo { s/foo/bar/g } edit_file_lines reads a whole file and puts each line into $_, calls its code block argument and writes each $_ back out the file. These groups are equivalent operations: perl -pi -e '$_ = "" if /foo/' filename use File::Slurp qw( edit_file_lines ) ; edit_file_lines { $_ = '' if /foo/ } 'filename' ; edit_file_lines sub { $_ = '' if /foo/ }, 'filename' ; edit_file \&delete_foo, 'filename' ; sub delete_foo { $_ = '' if /foo/ } So now when someone asks for a simple way to modify a file from inside Perl, you have an easy answer to give them. -- Uri Guttman ------ uri at stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- From mike at stok.ca Sun May 15 15:49:34 2011 From: mike at stok.ca (Mike Stok) Date: Sun, 15 May 2011 18:49:34 -0400 Subject: [tpm] May meeting - speaker(s) and suggestions In-Reply-To: <30C31E5A-544C-4DE9-AF0C-93586575684B@stok.ca> References: <30C31E5A-544C-4DE9-AF0C-93586575684B@stok.ca> Message-ID: <4A510805-7293-4AEB-B5AE-3537BE7D9432@stok.ca> On 2011-04-29, at 7:26 AM, Mike Stok wrote: > Next Month's meeting will be on Thursday 26 May, 2011. > > I'm looking for volunteers and / or suggestions for topics. > > One thing I had thought of was people's favourite non-Perl technologies for work and play, as long as there is some connection, no matter how tenuous, to Perl.

There aren't any channels per-se. There are user & search streams. Searches can be simplified a bit by using hashtags... like #perl or #kungfu. The best way to get started is to create an account (even if you don't intend to keep it) and experiment... especially if you're going to write apps that use the API. Some pages I'd recommend having a peek at: I haven't really used any of the Net::Twitter modules since before OAuth was enforced and can't really give any up-to-date help or info on the module. Last I checked, Mark Mims (the modules' author) was active on the twitter-dev mailing list* & responded to help requests when they popped up (use Net::Twitter in the subject line ;-) * Best of luck, -- ?

Repeat the search every 5 minutes and iterate through the results until you get too many results you've already seen before.

Get more from this author Posted in Cloud, 6th May 2011 05:00 GMT Get a free report and consultation with an Agile expert PHP might dominate the web LAMP stack, but ActiveState is taking steps to fluff the two other dynamic languages that put the "P" in LAMP: Python and Perl. On Thursday, the company released an early implementation of VMware's open source Cloud Foundry, which ActiveState promised would help reduce the effort of migrating Python and Perl apps from a VMware environment behind the firewall to a public or private VMware cloud. ActiveState's implementation, a service it calls Stackato, also introduces early tooling to debug and test new applications built using Python and Perl for VMware clouds. Stackato also works with Node.JS, the fashionable server-side JavaScript platform based on the Google V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js is being hailed as what Ruby on Rails could or should have been. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
