Webmaster Forum / Perl / Modules / August 2005

FYI,
I've given up on using Windows (hooray! boo! yawn) for a while, and so
have a few Win32 modules which I will be unable to maintain for the
foreseeable future:

I created a perl module distro Net::eBay, and added to it a small
sample program get-ebay-official-time.pl. How do I make it install
into /usr/bin without being too unix specific.
thanks

I wrote a module Net::eBay for easy communication with ebay via
XML. You can use it to sell stuff, bid, search, and whatever. I use it
to sell various things effectively. You still need to get developer
keys to access ebay, to use with my module.

I am using Inline::C module to call few C functions from my perl
application. When I am building my perl application an _inline folder
is getting created which contains the Inline related DLLs.
Is it possible to package this folder also along with my perl exe, so

I've written a module, tentatively named Module::Bundled::Files.  A
section of the POD docs is included to (attempt) to explain it's
purpose.  It was inspired by the __tt_template_name() function in
CGI::Application::Plugin::TT.

  I've been trying to write modules in 'c'. I've gone through the
documentation of perlguts, perlapi & perlxs. Although what I'm trying to
do is much complicated to explain here, I am extracting out the problem
with a small example.

I am currently working on a project that experiences intermittent
errors, that we can not find any logical answer for.  Attached is a
copy of a method that will copy a given perl object....
sub _deep_copy

In order to get SOAP Lite installed, I had to install a bunch of other
prereq perl modules, including XML::PARSER.  The only prereq to
XML::PARSER I needed to install was expat.  I downloaded expat 1.95.8
from sourceforge and installed it ... all the output indicated that

Perhaps a Test::Boilerplate module is in order, which can be used by
Module::Starter, Module::Release, CPANTS, PAUSE, and any other place
that somebody deems it necessary.
That was my original idea anyhow.

I am implementing a module and seek the community's input about its
suitability for placement on CPAN.  File::SplitStream (I am open to
better names) is designed to be used when an OS supports large files,
but the Perl interpreter does not have large file support enabled

I'm rather annoyed by the spate of CPAN uploads which have defaults from
h2xs or Module::Install that are not edited, things like "Perl extension
for blah blah blah" or "A. U. Thor".  In other words, stupid mistakes.
So I've been toying ideas for a module which checks for files ...

I'm programming a web application that limits the number of downloads
for clients on certain files:
...
unless ( $r->header_only ) {

Situation is as follows: module MIME::Base64 is perl standard module in
SuSE Enterprise Server. Module version is 2.21. Now I would like to use
program, which requires the latest version of MIME::Base64, version of 3.05.
What is the correct way to upgrade the module?

I am using MIME::Lite to send an e-mail with a file attachment.
Everything works well except for the body of the message.
I am using Type => 'TEXT'  and Data => $comment
Where $comment has embedded carriage-returns (\n).

I have installed Apache2::Cookie on a gentoo-server. when i test a self
programmed module i get the following errormessage:
