If you wanted to use it without importing it, you could do, for example: my $parsed_date = HTTP::Date::parse_date( $raw_date );

How about: $x = sub() || $x; That would maintain the pre-existing value of $x in the event that sub() returns a false value.

Probably slightly safer to use word boundaries too. perl -pi'.bak' -e 's/\btabular\b//g' *.lod

It's also possible to load multiple rows of data in one statement. See the INSERT documentation.

What error are you getting?

The logic in your logging is incorrect. File::Copy's 'copy' function returns 0 on failure, not success. Have a look at the contents of $! - that should hold any error message. How do $filename and $szNewBBSfile get set?

No problem. It would be unusual to declare all variables using 'local'. Any particular reason for it?

All variables are package variables by default, unless stated otherwise. You'll have to declare them. You should know that 'local' in Perl means something different to what people often expect. You're more than likely looking for a lexical variable, which are declared using "my".

Or: substr( $field3, length( $field3 ) - 2, 0, '.' );

Divide by 100.

Yes, either change the structure of @parts as it's being created, or else restructure it so it can be sorted easier. Here's an example (I've just used strings instead of the arrayrefs to illustrate): my @parts = (1,2602344000,'Ball Valve',1.0000,'array(memaddress)',2,2602345000,'Gate...

Also, try printing the outcome of using -M to see what values you are getting back. That'll give you a better indication of what comparisons you need to make.

I'd never rely on print statements to see if a file exists. Use -f or -e instead. I would expect that the files will only exist if $DirPath is the current working directory.

Firstly, make sure the file exists. Second, if you want it to be older than 60 minutes, you need -M to return a number greater than 0.0416, not less than it.

How about: $a = 'HELO'; $c = 'BHEO'; if ( ( $a = "B$a" ) =~ y/L//d && $a eq $c ) { $c = 'YES'; }
