In File::Remote,  the actual call (in my case to scp) is made by this

I'm using HTML::Parser to strip HTML tags from my files. I noticed

I'm happy to announce the very first version of a Xorg configuration
model [1] for Config::Model [2] perl module.
With this module and Config::Model, you have a tool to modify the
configuration of your favourite X server.

Does anyone know what the file pattern format is for the -filter
argument of the perl tk::fbox module?  The CPAN documentation for the
module says filter is to be documented at a later date.
The following code doesn't crash, however, the fileselector that is

Hi guys, long time no see
I have a script on a website: http://www.webu.co.uk/cgi-bin/

Hi..
 I am a newbie trying to install DBD::Oracle on a linux box. The
Oracle server is on a remote host.
I read online that I would have to install the Oracle Instantclient to

I use this script :
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;

If you look at http://lists.perl.org/ or http://lists.cpan.org/ (the  
former just redirects to the latter) you'll see a list that  
apparently has lost its maintainer.  For instance, I've tried  
variously over the past 6 months to change the address of the  

I created a new module called File::FilterFuncs. I believe that it's
ready to upload to CPAN, but I'd like some contructive comments on it first.
I'm hoping that I haven't made any glaring oversights :-)
The module is on my website right now:

I'm trying to write a simple script to upload a file to a remote server
using Net::FTPSSL. Everything works fine until I try to actually upload
the file. Based on the warnings and trace info it seems to have
something to do with using PASV mode. I'm able to connect and transfer

I'm using the perl module Email::Send to generate email.  In my tests,
the send function executes and no errors are thrown.  But, even though
I'm sending the email to myself through my local SMTP email server to
my local exchange server, nothing seems to happen.

Has anyone encountered problems with using the Win32::ole perl module
on a 64bit version of Windows?
I have some scripts which run perfectly on 32bit Windows but I am

following error: No value specified for 'ForceArray' option in call to
XMLin() at XMLto837I.pl line 23
Here's the code I'm using...

This may be more of a Unix question, but in any case, here goes.  I'm
using Expect as a wrapper for 'ssh' (don't worry, I have RSA keys
enabled, so no password issues).  Now, Expect provides a nice interface
for getting the PID of it's own spawned process (locally), but I would

I am debating whether to just install some scripts when users
install my modules from CPAN.
I can't see many of the installations being by people who want to
work with the modules rather than the scripts.
