Webmaster Forum / Perl / Modules / December 2006

So I've been working on this thing for a while. What it does it is similar
to parts of Alzabo, but it's new code, so it needs a new name.
For now I've been calling it "Q" (for Query), but that's not a very
CPAN-friendly name.

Hi,
I want to use the Test.pm from the standard Perl distribution to test my
module, but the problem is that the output of my module is writing to
stdout. Do I have to use something else or there are workarounds?

Has anyone written a perly interface to the gnome planner file format?
It's XML so it's going to be basically a breeze, but I'd rather re-use someone
else's tool if available.

I've been trying to install DBomb on a new server and have run into
some problems. I installed all the pre-required modules and they went
for the most part without any trouble.
When I run the make on Dbomb though, it runs into a gazillion errors.

I have a script that reads a directory of all files, and creates an
output file of one file with the contents of each individual file from
the directory. The input is an HL7 file. In each individual file, the

Background: I'm testing installation of POE 0.95 on Windows, to see what
works and what doesn't, on ActivePerl 5.8.8 (817) (with the MinGW 3.2.3,
though I don't think it's used for this module) and on PXPerl 5.8.7. The
latter is an abandoned distribution, the website (http://pxperl ...

I am preparing a module for CPAN tentatively titled
List::RewriteElements.  Given a list of data records, typically in the
form of a flat file, optionally containing a header row, I am frequently
asked to generate a new file in which each record is transformed

I'm having trouble getting this program to work:

I am a new bee to perl, do not know even the basics of perl.
The Scenirion, why i choose perl
I have a exe file compiled with cygwin, need to execute in different
windows machine and get the output as log files, so i chose perl to ftp

I've been playing around with Sieve, a language for filtering incoming
messages. It's rather hateful (but that's a topic for another list), and
I serendipitiously encountered Mail::Sieve on a CPAN search. So I
thought I'd take a look. Except that it's not there.

I ve written a perl script which sends the user name and password
through a proxy for authentication,the problem is that after it is
getting authenticated it is not showing the contents of the desired
page i.e the page which the user wants to visit is not being displayed

I've read numerous related posts but can't seem to find the solution
I'm seeking.
I have 2 web sites on web hosts.  On host #1, I can use Annotate with
no problem.

Hi all,  topical question here regarding Sort::Maker
I have a poorly designed db table over which I have no control.  The
data isn't normalized but for each row I'd like to return the column
numbers which have the highest number of counts, and the highest column

I'm using the Spreadsheet::Read module (which works quite well
generally).  I have some spreadsheets with special characters like an
accented e (é).  I'm having some trouble processing these characters.
I haven't dealt much with these type of characters in this context in
