    Cygwin vs. ActiveState Perl and Newlines

    I'm looking for a simple (or simple-minded) way to convert a text file from DOS-ish CR/LF end-of-line pairs to Unix-ish LF end-of-line characters. It should be pretty straightforward, since Perl contains a robust pattern matching facility. So here's my code. #! /usr/bin/perl while($line =...

    HTML for opening in new tab

    Is there any extension to HTML that Mozilla uses to open pages in a new tab? This would be analagous to the <A HREF='whatever' target='_new'> construction that's commonly used to open pages in a new window. Oddly, though, a quick read of the HTML 4.01 spec didn't show me _new. Thanks!

    Handling Win32 shutdown

    I want to write a program in Perl that sits and waits for Windows to shut down, then does something. I know that I have to use the Win32::Event module, and I have some code that I've written here. ======== use Win32::Event; $manual = 0; $initial = 0; $name = &quot;WM_QUERYENDSESSION&quot...

    Mozilla locking on Linux

    Has anyone had problems with the Linux version of Netscape's browsers locking pretty frequently? I ususally get 10 or so minutes of good run time before I have to kill -9. I'm using Red Hat 6.1, but it doesn't seem to matter which Netscape browser I use.

    Embedding data in a Java program

    In Perl, one can embed data in the actual program by including an __END__ directive. Anything else in the Perl source file, including binary data, is treated as file input that can be seen by using the DATA file handle. I want to write a Java applet that plays a midi file on the web, but I...
