Ensuring a perl script runs

46 New Member
Hello,

I am the owner of some bots on AOL's instant messenger service (Screenames: TrivDaddy and WordToYourBrain if you want to try them out :) ) I use windows xp media center edition.

My bots are coded in perl and they use the NET-OSCAR package which can found in the perl package manager.

My problem is as follows. My internet router isn't the greatest, and my connection drops every now and then. When this happens, my bots get disconnected and I have to restart them manually from the windows command prompt. The error message I get is:

Can't locate object method "chat_send" via package "Lost connection to chat" (pe
rhaps you forgot to load "Lost connection to chat"?) at bot.pl line 289.

I was wondering, is there any script that could periodically check if "bot.pl" is being executed, and if not it could restart it by itself? Or something of that nature?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have two different scripts that do pretty much the same thing. The main perl script is on Windows. It runs and in the middle of it, it then calls out another perl script that then should run on a Unix box I have. Both scripts run ok, except for the part when Windows try's to call out the Unix script. I have it set up where the Unix is mapped through a drive letter and can drop stuff into the Unix box. It is going through another...

Hi all; I code Perl for CGI, I using regular expression to check the validation of user input, because the form is small and it run only from my own computer, anyways if many people using my form, do you think it will be slow due to Perl is run under server. How about using JavaSCript to check validation for user input? Do you think it a bit faster?

So, I download the latest "stable" tar for perl (5.8.7) and try to compile it on the Solaris 8 (SPARC) box that I administrate. I try all sorts of different switches, but I can't get it to compile. I need it to be compiled with threads. Anyone have any wisdom on how best to do this? Here's a transcript of my latest attempt. It's long; you might want to skip to the bottom, where I try "make" and the fatal errors start happening.

Greetings! I thought I'd add a little something to a web site, a "tip of the week," and wanted it automated so that if I get hit by a truck (or, more likely, am forgetful), the tip is updated automatically. I learned enough Perl (read: just enough) to code a script that does what I want it to do. Now the question is: how to get it to run automatically. I would like the program to be invoked when someone, anyone, hits my homepage. I...

A few days ago, i was trying to make my perl script an executable (with no success). but that's not the direction of my question (at least not right now). Once i stopped trying to make the executable work, i ran my perl script as a perl script (*.pl), but now when the console window comes up when it runs, i noticed that it's running through C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe instead of C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe...which is causing the script to freak...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
