I have a question about this procedure.  I am trying to extract these 12
values of text from a text file.  I am trying to get my first two hash
values and this is the procedure that handles that.  Thanks Charles for all
your help and mentoring.  I appreciate your time and ...

I have the following perl program.
#!/opt/perl/bin/perl -w
require "test_init.pl" or die("Can't require test_init.pl");
require "configure.pl" or die("Can't require configure.pl");

   I had an earlier version of perl installed on my Win98
machine and I could never get Perldoc to work. I figured
something was misconfigured, so I didn't worry about it
until I installed a newer version of perl. And guess what,

i write script that open and read file but i have problem.
First, here are a script:
----
#!/usr/bin/perl

Was hoping some one may have some helpful suggestion as how to deal with the a
potiental problem. We have a dedicated server we would like to update perl on,
from v. 5.6.1 to 5.8.* and have found out the the existing .db files used by
alot of our customer with shopping carts that ...

Can anyone tell me where can I find a good tutorial about creating "multiple
pages" script?
Thank you.

In shell script file, I can call another program & checked the exit status.
Like:
./prog2

I have the following script (just a test):

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

 Hi, I've a question involving formats.
 I have a text file that has lines like this:
__LINE1__
__LINE2__

I have a piece of HTML code containing two Perl variable names, which is to be used in 6 scripts. So I tried to put it into a separate file to be executed with "do page_head.pl", where page_head.pl contains something like (simplified):
my $page_head = qq{<?xml version="1.0" ...

I've racked my brain for an answer to this one.  Probably real simple.....
I'd like to run a process reatedly until entering a character on the
keyboard (other than ^C).  When the character is entered the process would
complete some final tasks and exit the program.

   Backreferences( $1, $2 ...) are lexically scoped,
  which means
  in a match like m/(<REGEX1>)(<REGEX2>) etc ..../

In C programming language we have a function which looks like this:
main(int argc, char *argv[ ]).
Is there a equivalant function in Perl. I was looking at @ARGV but i feel it
does not behave the same way as the above function does. I might be wrong.

Hi all, I'm tring to load a module with:
use Fcntl;
but I get an error like:
Can't locate Fcntl.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/perl5/lib/5.00502/PA-RISC1.1 /opt/perl5/lib/5.00502 /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.005/PA-RISC1.1 /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.005 .) at ./sparse_file line 3.

I am getting a bit confused here, if I uncomment out the print statement
within the if block $date1 prints, however the $date1 after the if block
doesn't
if ($date eq ''){
