The above would only display the message if you turned off buffering ($|=1;), and even then it's questionable whether or not that would work... It all depends on the rendering requirements of the particular user's browser. What it comes down to is that this is probably something that will just...

My IDS has caught 883 attempts so far. And this for a personal site. (-: brendanc@icehouse.net http://www.witheredpipedream.com

Here's one: In your .shtml file, use the #include virtual directive instead of #exec. <!--#include virtual=&quot;/cgi-bin/count.cgi&quot;--> And count.cgi can be something as simple as: #!/usr/bin/perl print &quot;Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n&quot;; open(FH,&quot;pet.db&quot;); print...

There really isn't much system overhead if you only import the functions/sets of functions that you need instead of the entire module. eg. #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI qw/:cgi/; or use CGI qw/param header start_html end_html/; brendanc@icehouse.net http://www.witheredpipedream.com

I agree, but isn't it fun to use long complicated shell scripts? Actually, there might be one use to the scripts above: verifying that the module isn't in some strange subdirectory... requiring that you call it with DBI::DBI.pm. Quite unlikely, but possible. Anyway, goBoating's right; if you...

On a linux system, you can use the following command to search for the DBI module: for x in `perl -e 'print join&quot;\n&quot;,@INC'`; do find $x -iname DBI.pm; done and see if it returns something. For anyone suffering this problem on Windows NT platform, the command would be: for /f %%x in...

Quick note, the above sort routine may mix the order of each upper/lower case pair. For instance: # Using these arrays: @sort1 = qw/ a B c D e A b C d E /; @sort2 = qw/ a b c d e A B C D E /; # this sort: print sort{uc($a) cmp uc($b)}@sort1,&quot;\n&quot;; print sort{uc($a) cmp...

I did notice the %Symbols thing, but there I agree with you -- a perfect use of a global var. I can see your point with $Unformat as well, so I'll retract that. Glad to be of help with the other items, though. Take care, brendanc@icehouse.net http://www.witheredpipedream.com

Tracy, Just caught this: next if ( $file =~ /\.bak\Z/ ); # ignore .bak (backup) files $file was defined with my in an earlier foreach loop and has since gone out of scope... so at this point, there is no $file. Easily rectified, though... Another thing I saw was that in the FixFile()...

Ah. I see. I was under the impression that the code actually read in the proprietary MSWord .doc format and did a conversion. Was wondering how you got your hands on that algorithm. ;-) Ah well. Useful code, nonetheless. Thanks. brendanc@icehouse.net http://www.witheredpipedream.com

CVS stands for &quot;Concurrent Versions System&quot; and can be found at http://www.cvshome.org . CVS does not require a unique platform/independent system; instead, it is simply a set of files that will run on pretty much anything -- win32, linux, unix, etc. (so you should be able to use your...

teser: You might consider looking into a CVS server. With that service, people are able to download documents from the main server, modify them and reupload them. The CVS server tracks the changes, when they were made, who made them, any comments the modifier had, etc. and creates continuous...

Well.. this gets a bit complicated, but the statement below will give you the results you're looking for. Well, almost. The ##a values come before the floating values. Perhaps someone can update the statement to change that? Basically, I'm left padding the numeric values with 0's, but there...

Haven't really taken a look at the code yet, but one thing catches my attention: the dbname, username and password data that you have in there isn't correct, is it? :-) brendanc@icehouse.net http://www.witheredpipedream.com

You're too kind, Tracy. But regardless of the knowledge goBoating, myself or any other member has, you're the most active poster in this forum. Kudos to you. brendanc@icehouse.net http://www.witheredpipedream.com
