Dear Freinds
I came across a website which conducts Free Webinars on PMP
Certification (Project Management Institute, USA) Awareness and
The Roadmap. It proved to be quite useful.

This isn't about Perl, but it is about this newsgroup. I'm becoming
irritated by the spam that I see (I use Google Groups) and was
wondering if someone could suggest a great free newsreader, as well as
where and how to acquire it.

I am creating a web service in soap environment from which i am
inserting some data into database written in perl.
Whenever i use the DBD::Oracle module, i am getting 500 internal
server error.

I am trying to run a tcpdump and have perl kill the tcpdump once 10

Thanks,

I am developing a module to make throwing Exception::Class objects
easier. The goal is to make the code to throw an exception shorter
and to make it possible to keep all error messages at some central
place.

I'm writing a port to PyConstructs. website of the original:
http://construct.wikispaces.com/
In short, it's a library that parse binary structs. It can parse
complicate things like TCP headers, compressed files and image formats.

I'm packaging Lingua::BG::Numbers with Lingua::Slavic::Numbers for CPAN,
using ExtUtils::MakeMaker.  What's the proper way to structure
Makefile.PL to indicate this?  MANIFEST is already correct, but "make
test" doesn't automatically put Lingua::BG::Numbers in the lib path.

I'm trying to contact Colin Kuskie, maintainer of the
Statistics::Descriptive module, but mail to his cpan address bounces:

Hi fellow DBI'ers,
I was interested to know if there's been any conversations about creating a
DBD::Kdb module for Kx Systems Kdb database product?  I see the module on
CPAN called simply Kx which is a standard api into their product. Now i'd

Hey, all I have a db in production that uses a whole lot of string  
values as primary keys. (It's Oracle, FWIW)  Does DBIX::Class care  
what data type a primary key is?  I *vaguely* remember hearing some  
sort of remark in the Catalyst master class Jon Rockway taught at YAPC  

After getting the current versions of DBI and DBD::Oracle built and working, I no longer got the error.  When I moved my "fix" from our development environment to our test environment, I found that I still got the error.  I started removing the items in my "fix" from the ...

I've taken steps to get this fixed, but it may take a few days.

I just upgraded from DBD-ODBC 1.13 to 1.15 using the ActiveState
repository (e.g. ppm install DBD-ODBC) and am now experiencing a new

I am using Tk 5.8.3, getting problem in drag n drop.
I am creating a tree with optional scroll bar, on each child of this
tree i am creating a frame (colored green in following code), and a
label (colored blue) which is a child of frame.

I want to use Tk::Tree object to create a tree view, but I didn't see any
options to fold a tree item. Could anybody teach me that?
Thanks

Pls see below a price of code that uses table matrix widget. What I
have done is that I have increased the width of the last column. Now,
if you try to move the horizontal scrollbar, it move move only to a
certain distance and will not move after that and hence, the data in
