Webmaster Forum / Perl / Modules / April 2005

I'm rather tired of manually editing README files before each release,
and do not like using a straight pod2text either, since it contains a
lot of superfluous information.
So I'm thinking about writing a module which parses the POD,

I am going to be doing a lot of work with Microsoft SQL Server 2000
using perl and the Win32::ODBC module. Most of this will revolve around
date and time conversions, and as such I was wondering if anyone has
come up with  a module(s) for converting between SQL Server DATETIME

hey everybody, i have an issue i've been trying to work around for the past
few days, and i haven't gotten very far.
i hope i have the right group for this, apologies if not.  perhaps this is
more of a generic perl forum issue.

I want to usw Net:SSH::Perl to automatically run some commands on several
hosts.
All the hostnames are stored in a database.
I decided to use Net::SSH::Perl because I can configure everything I need.

I have released Sort::Key 0.02, a module for sorting objects by some key.
It's really fast, usually much faster than perl core sort function and
even than other popular methods like the Schwartzian or the GRM
transforms (and BTW, easier to use).

Under V 5.8.4 I could have data within a module, after the __DATA__ token, and
read it with:
        my(@line)    = grep{! /^#/} <DATA>;
        close DATA;

I have recently been trying to write some programs using D. Conway's
Quantum:superposition. What I can not tell is if there is any active use
of this module. The current version, 1.03, is about 3 years old. I am
trying to learn if this module is used by others and if there are ...

Is there a module that allows one to apply the Bradley-Terry method to data?

What's the best way to spread the word about a new module?  I've got a few
modules that I think a lot of people would find useful.  They're still in
active development (pre-1.0) but I'd like as many people as possible to try
them so I can get feedback from the community.  How do I ...

I am trying to install this module. I have installed XML-Parser-2.34 and
this seems to be ok. It is supposed to install XML::Expat with it.
On my system it seems to have partly installed XML:;Expat. I have:
Expat::Expat.so

(I had some conversation in c.l.p.m about this originally but it's no
longer a Perl coding problem so I'm moving it here.)
Using XML::Twig I'm reading in an XML file, adding an element to it
and writing the result out again.  The file is correctly written, but

All -
 I can't get a more complicated expect script to work, so I broke it
down to the basics, and I can't get that to work either. Maybe I have
been looking at it too long. Anyway, no matter what I do, the log file

Hello Jan,
I downloaded your module to my WindowsXP system, because I needed the
Win32::Process module and the function KillProcess.
Because I found out that the TerminateProcess Win32 API function does

    I have a problem. I need to first into a particular shell,not c shell
    but a vendor shell,like

    And then do a lot of things, and generates some files.

I'm a newb with Perl.  I'm using the Win32API::CommPort module and seem
to have most of what I need working.  One issue I'm hitting a wall on
is how to read everything in the serial in buffer.  The data I'm trying
to read doesn't have newline/linefeed (I can read that type of input) ...
