I have a file that was exported as an XML file using UFT-8 encoding. Is there a module that will allow me to convert the text so that it is readable on a Unix system. The text needs to be imported into a legacy system that does not understand UTF-8 so I end up losing some characters (',",`,\t etc). Any help would be greatly appreicated.

I am looking for some additions to a Perl-based auction script. I need to set up a system that allows buyers and sellers to e-mail each other without sharing their contact information. This will include some mechanism that uses my auction site as a proxy for the messages and a parser of the e-mail messages to identify any contact information...

Hello- I have OLE objects (mostly word and excel) stored in a field in an Oracle database. I need to extract them and save them as files on the filesystem (MS Word and MS Excel files). I used the DBI module to query the database and get the OLE into a scalar variable - I read through the Win32::OLE module but didn't get a clue on how to...

can some one help me get started with this module, it appears that it very difficult to work with; all I am wanting to do is connect to local QManager and inquire Queue's QDepth. Any help is kindly appreciative

I've been using ActiveState's PPM3 to install most of my modules, but I've found it doesn't have many very useful modules. This was mostly forced, since I could never get the CPAN module to actually build the modules. This morning, I finally had enough, and decided to try and figure out exactly what was wrong, and try to fix it. Nomatter...

Hello! We use embedded Perl (5.8.2) into the RADIUS server (using persistent interpreter as described in perlembed). The problem is if the Perl code uses some module, which is not available on the local system (e.g. Crypt::CBC) the evaluation fails with "panic: top_env" message and the whole process exits... Any ideas or suggestions how it...

How do I control it to have the 2nd one run after the 1st one? I need to run them in backgound and if the 1st one failed the 2nd one will stll be running.

Hi, I have a script that runs perfectly natively. However, when compiled (using perlapp from ActiveState's Dev Kit) it fails to run from a DOS command window, and fails with … Can't locate object method "load" via package "Win32::Exe::PE" at /PerlApp/Parse/Binary.pm line 453. I assuming, perhaps naively, that this is something that can be...

I am from Sweden and I am trying to use Simple Search from Matt's Script Archive on my home page (web server is located in the United States) but it cannot find anything with Swedish special characters in it. Does anybody know if something can be done, or where I might find some info about how to do it myself? Any help would be most...

I'm unsure how to break down and use what is returned by expect in the rest of my script. I want to issue a command and split the results of that command into several different variables. I then want to use those variables in the rest of my script. Here is a snipet: $expcxn = Expect->spawn("telnet 10.10.10.10\r") or die "Cannot spawn...

I need to have a perl cgi script move files from the machine it is running on to a mounted server volume. This is complicated by the fact that the files are images with resource forks (on MacOSX) and the destination is a windows machine. As they are mac files I need to use ditto, but the line system "ditto", "--rsrc", "/source/file/path",...

I'm trying to use Net::MSN 1.022 to IM from a Perl script. I am not having any luck, but I think it is because Microsoft updated the Passport stuff and the Net::MSN hasn't been updated. Has anyone else seen this and/or know a work around? I've been tinkering with the .pm files, but I'm not very familiar with the way MSN's login stuff works....

But when I try: --------------------------------------------------------------- use Win32::SerialPort qw( :STAT 0.19 ); $ob = new Win32::SerialPort ('COM5') || die "Can't open...

I've looked high and low for this answer and have finally landed here to ask the question: I want to distribure perlglob.exe with a compiled perl application (created with the PAR package on Windows). Is including a copy of the GPL sufficient to cover licensing issues? Or should I include win32/perlglob.c in my distribution along with the...

Hello, Starting to code a robust routine to add two arrays element by element $new = $a + $b ... I thought that this should already be done and searched CPAN for a sutiable module. Despite Math:::Matrix I could not realy find much and the ::Matrix module seemed to be more that I needed...

I'm moving an application from XP to Linux. The XP version of the application uses com automation to instantiate an instance of IE6 and then drive it to various web sites. These are generally fairly sophisticated with content driven by scripts, involve frames, etc. I need to measure the time between the start of navigation and its...

Hi, Has any one used the XML::Parser module with the Subs style? The Perl documentation states: "Each time an element starts, a sub by that name in the package specified by the Pkg option is called with the same parameters that the Start handler gets called with.

I inherited a large perl project with many small perl files spread out over different directories. The project is an admin tool with a cgi interface. I suspect that many of the files are no longer being used. Some entire directories may be obsolete. Is there a way I can identify the unused code? Basically I need to locate Perl files that...
