    Installing packages

    Hello all. I'm using CPAN to install packages. Once I've done so, I write a small script to test them, and Perl doesn't seem to have any idea that they're there, or where they are. How do I tell Perl where to look for the new packages installed? Thanks.

    Email login via perl script

    Hello all. Do you think it's possible to write a script which will simulate a login to an email client, such as Hotmail, gmail, yahoo etc?

    Hidden HTML using CSS &amp; JS

    Hello all. Not sure if this should go in the CSS or JavaScript forum - it's a bit of both! What I want to do is to have a block of HTML which is only displayed when javascript is enabled on the browser. So, I think the HTML should be enclosed in a div, which calls a CSS class that hides it by...

    Using READDIR to scan files in order

    Hello, I have a simple script which uses the READDIR command to scan through some files in a directory. I thought the script was fine, as it always scanned the files in date order. But when we moved the script onto a different server (with different OS) these files are now being scanned in a...

    Setting the default submit action for a form

    Hello. I have a pretty normal form - a few textfields etc, except that there are two submit buttons. One goes back to the previous page (not javascript but a struts action) and the other goes to the next step. If you have the cursor placed in any of the text fields and press return, the...

    Basic javascript question

    Please could someone explain what the following line in my page does? <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" href="/somedir/somefile.js"></script> Does it actually execute the file specified, or does it just make available the file and hence any functions held within it? Thanks!
