Thanks very much, Barbie. If you don't mind, I have a few further questions. The list returned from /(xyz)/g is an array, correct? Does that mean that whenever you load an array into a scalar variable, such as my $count = ($string =~ /(xyz)/g); the number of indices of the array is returned...

I'm not sure, but I think the module you need is called Digest-MD5. The latest version is 2.24 and can be obtained here http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/ Thats unusual though, I think most standard perl packages have that module pre-installed. Maybe their server is really old, or they...

Hey all, I ran into something with regular expressions that I can't figure out how to do. I've looked at the online perl regex docs and the O'reilly Llama. Lets say you have a string $string. $string contains N number of /xyz/'s. Is there a way to count the number of /xyz/'s that occur in...

Thanks for the advice Paul, I actually figured out how to do it using command line browsers (lynx) in a script. Symbiotic

I want to be able to write a script that will automatically fill in and submit a form to the web. No, I don't want to write it so I can spam boards like this with random meaningless data. The application I actually have in mind is for automating the submission of trades to my online brokerage...

Ok I fixed this problem. My hostname was incorrect. I forgot that when I first set it up I had manually changed hostname to my domain name but didn't actually change it in the system configuration

Ok, I read the thread a few days back in which RythymAce described how to set up domain realying. I did so exactly as he said, and it worked perfectly. I have access.db and FEATURE(`relay_local_from') in my sendmail.mc. It worked totally smoothly, until I rebooted my server. Now it doesn't...

oops, I accidentally posted an update to this in another thread. Please read "Ok, I found another post regarding this" before responding

Ok, I found an older post regarding this issue. using mount -t smbfs -o username //server/share /mnt-point It appears to try really hard to log on, then dies with: "smbfs filesystem not supported by kernel" Which I guess means that my kernel wasn't compiled with some code or...

Hi all, I was wondering what the best solution for this is: I have a network with one linux server, running samba, and several windows workstations. The linux box runs a mysql server. I want to create a cron job to back up the database files onto a windows machine. Is there a way to make a...

Hi, I'm trying to figure out what the accepted way of using Query Strings is in PHP. Consider this example: http://www.theserver.com/somepage.php?var1=this&var2=that <?php //code in somepage.php echo $var1; echo &var2; ?> Now, this code will not work if register_globals is Off, as is...

Wow! I just finally fixed this problem, after a week of utter frustration! Ah, the taste of victory! This wonderful feeling of being smarter than a machine, the only reason for having computers as a hobby/occupation. Since I have been switching over to linux, I've been befuddled, confused...

I dunno, my dsl company wanted 20 bucks extra a month to give me a static ip, cable is like 15 bucks less, and it's faster in my area. The cable people said that my ip will be static if I'm using a router and not a direct connection. Although that doesn't really make much sense. Ah well, I'll...

I think bluegroper is right. It may be my ISP. I would contact them, but I'm changing ISPs in a week, anyways, from dsl to cable. I do have a domain name, but it points at a dynamic IP. My IP has been the same for a month, but due to a power outage last night, I have to wait for my DNS...

yeah dude, too much code, not enough English
