Congress Pkwy. The event is completely free unless you want to get a room at the hostel. At the hackathon we will have Perl programmers from around the country, including our special guest Dave Rolsky. Dave is responsible for the popular Mason templating system and for the Perl DateTime project. Feel free to stop by the hackathon and spend some time coding with your fellow Perl programmers. Not a Perl programmer? Ruby or Python more your style? Stop by anyway and enjoy the interaction with other talented programmers that you might not normally get the opportunity to work with. Talk sigils. Argue religious points about whitespace. It's all part of the fun.

Message-ID: <738665.18128.qm@web604.biz.mail.mud.yahoo.com> I would like to send mail via a perl script. I find sendmail pretty overwhelming. So I was relieved when I found the the module Mail::Sendmail. I downloaded it, installed it and put in my yahoo SMTP server in the appropriate config file as SBC yahoo is my ISP. However, much to my dismay when I ran the test I got: ok 1 Server set to: smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com Sending... MAIL FROM: error (530 authentication required - for help go to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/bizmail/pop/pop-11.html) !Error sending mail: I didn't see any place to put my sbc-yahoo password. Worse, I found his cryptic sentence under LIMITATIONS of Mail::Sendmail: "No support for the SMTP AUTH extension." Does this mean I can't use Mail::Sendmail since my SMTP server requires authentication, or do I just not know where to put it? Does anyone know of outgoing SMTP server that I can use that does not require authentication? Is there an easier way to send emails from perl on linux? Thanks in advance for any help.

Can't you "cat file > /dev/ttyS0" on the sending end and "cat /dev/ttyS0 > file" on the receiving end?* If you're worried about data loss, just md5 on both sides and manually compare the checksums. If you insist on perl, this look good: http://search.cpan.org/~cook/Device-SerialPort/SerialPort.pm [*] Incidentally, I was doing VoIP before it was called that many years ago like "cat /dev/dsp | nc remote.host 1337" and "nc -l -p 1337 > /dev/dsp".

They can also transfer multiple files in one shot. It's even simpler if the host on the other side of the serial link is running a shell, because "sz" will automatically start "rz" on the remote side. Without testing it, something like 'cat /dev/ttyS0 | sz $FILE1 [$FILE2 [...]] > /dev/ttyS0' ought to work.

Message-ID: <157738.7947.qm@web614.biz.mail.mud.yahoo.com> I am trying to find a way to continuously transfer files over a serial port. Thanks to Eric and Jonathon yesterday I learened how to send and receive files through a serial port. Many thanks. However, due to my inability to interpolate variables at the bash command line I decided to try: #!/usr/bin/perl5 -w use strict; while(1) { my ($yr, $mo, $day, $hr, $min, $sec) = (localtime)[5,4,3,2,1,0]; my $date = $sec . $min . $hr . $day . ($mo + 1) . ($yr + 1900); system("cat /dev/ttyS0 > $date"); } This does not work well because none of the files are written until the program is killed and then they seem to be empty on the receiving end. Would it be better to make this a shell script or is perl script fixable? Thanks for any help. Richard Your beliefs become your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words.

Secondly, try this in bash: something > "filename.$(date)" That will put the output of something into a file named like "filename.Thu Dec 20 17:10:50 CST 2007". Spaces are irritating, though, so I do this: something > "filename.$(date +%s)" Which yields "filename.1198192282".

This does give the incoming data a new file name. However, It puts evryting into one file. That is if if on the sending end I do: $: cat filename > /dev/ttyS0 and then: $: cat filename2 > /dev/ttyS0 boths files' contents end up in one file on the receivinging end, instead of two seperate files as I intend. I've played around and googled to try to find a way to make each a file to file transfer this way but am running out of ideas although I think I am very close. Thank you very much for the replies thus far. If anyone else has any ideas how I can do this your input would be GREATLY appreciated. Richard Your beliefs become your thoughts.
