I am using Perl 5.8.x, Windows XP SP2 and Novell GroupWise email client. 
I have written a program to send an email which contains HTML.  Issue is that in the email body the 'body' shows up as HTML text and GroupWise has the choice to read it in HTML grayed-out (for this email ...

I am having a small problem with my if looops. I have
written a small script to parse a file I have
input:
HMU00030     2522     4840            DNA gyrase subunit B

Insi de my Makefile.PL, I would like to do something like:
LIBS   => ['-lm -L$(PATH) -lmlib'],
with $PATH define at the beginning of the file, but I cannot make it
work !!!!

Is it not possible to use $_ in subroutines?
For example, my temptation was to do this:
**************************************
sub isDate {

I noticed this error appearing when I stop/started my httpd server
recently (yes this is modperl 1 code).
This offending code reads a like this:
package Some::Pack;

Perl Beginners:
I am thinking about a Perl web/ database application for political
organizing and campaigns -- generating precinct walk lists, generating
phone banking lists, tracking contacts, etc..  I am using Debian

I have some data I will read into an array that is the format
"some_string"@"date" such as "foo/bar/biz@07-23-2009-11.42.02".
To work with this, I will convert the date part (everything after
the "@" to the epoch format so it's easy to sort accurately. I

I'm a little lost even what to look for to do this.
With a variable like this:
$var = 'American Express offers individuals online access to its world-class Card, Financial, and Travel services, including financial advice, retirement planning, air and hotel reservations and more'

I'm miss understanding something basic about the numbered values like
$1 $2 in a s/// operation.
In this script... I don't understand why $line has the value it does
when the $2 paren enclosed regex does not match anything.

Dear Friend!

When I got a word list, I want it to be sorted with special order.
for example, I got this array:
("dog","is","a","there");
I want the sorted result is:

I just ran into an issue where I was loosing literally half of some
expected data, which for a theoretical accounting system, would make for
some interesting audit trails (I already shave a fraction for myself,
but 50% will be noticeable ;)

I need to used some perl code in k and C shell. But it is giving me bad
substitution. Same code works fine in bash. Any help would be
appreciated.
perl -i -e '$re=q~'${1//~/\\~}'~; print "$re"; while (<>) { /$re/ ? $c++
