I am running into a strange problem. I have perl script which reads the
"APPDATA" environment variable, and does some work on that directory.
When I a launch this script from Command Prompt, it works perfectly fine,
however when the same script is launched from a DLL hosted in a particular
Service, the script fails to read the envrionment variable.
Does any one has any clue, whats going wrong ?

The script is most likely loading environment variables, but the
environment variables will be for the account it is running on. Most
likely the service is not running in the same user account as the
account you expect. Try running the service on your user account and see
what happens, or try adding the environment variables to the local or
system account (guess) that your service is running as.
Same comment applies to the registry (I got bitten with this with the
registry - makes sense to me that the environment variables will be the
same).

The most probably cause is that the service is running with LOCAL_SYSTEM or
LOCAL_SERVICE account credentials for which that variable is not defined.
To test this you can go to control panel ->administrati ve services ->
services.
open the properties window for your service, and change the logon
credentials from whatever they are to your own account credentials.
then stop and start the service. if it works then, it means that the
variable does not exist for the LOCAL_SYSTEM or SERVICE account.

The subject says it all. I am doing a:
I have a perl script in which I am using a ReadParse routine that parses the
$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} or $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'} which are two variables passed
to the script under usual SSI (.shtml) containing form data submitted to the
page from which the script is executed from.
Well, since switching to PHP, I have moved most of my perl scripts to php
equivalents, but there are a few perl scripts...

What is the difference between Perl (CGI) and PHP (Apache module)? I thought both used servers to direct the
user to the appropiate Perl or PHP program in order to execute the program to interpret the user's Perl or PHP script
respectively.

Hey guys,
I have a need to install the DBD::Pg Perl module on many shared web servers,
which do not have PostgreSQL installed. Then the DBD::Pg module will just
connect to a remote PostgreSQL database, hosted elsewhere. I'm having some

First off, I modified the Makefile.PL, and added the three following links

We have two Perl script that use the open command to read an encrypted file. We just changed from gzip to gpg. One script works fine. The other is called from the web and fails on the open.
Both run on UNIX hosts running SunOS 5.9 and Perl 5.8.8.
To debug, I scaled down the problem script to something called testread4.pl. When I run it from the UNIX command prompt, it works fine. It opens the encrypted file and returns 10 line of...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
