In ActivePerl, "ppm" installs a package from the Internet, "ppm install x.ppd" installs from a ppd file, but most CPAN packages are distributed as .tar.gz How do you supply modules to a machine running ActivePerl that doesn't have an Internet connection? ("make" will probably not be available.) Update: an Internet connection can be us...
I'm trying to find out where a BerkeleyDB PPM is for ActivePerl 5.10. Anyone have a clue where to find this, or how to build it? I had found a lead here. They claim BerkeleyDB 0.33 had built ok for Perl 5.10. They provide a link to the PPM, but not to the supporting zip file. So I got around it, manually getting the ppm and the zip and ...

I can call it with wperl script.pl arg1 arg2 from a command prompt and it runs in the background fine.

I want to be able to use a module kept in the lib directory of my source code repository, and I want the only prerequisite for a developer to use the scripts that I'm writing is to have a standard Perl installation, but I'm not sure how to accomplish this.

Given some unix program which I've compiled, what might I need to do to relocate it to a different directory and have it continue running correctly. I'm thinking of Perl, but would be interested in other systems like Apache which also seem to fail when this is done. To motivate the question, being able to perform this sort of relocation...

Is it possible to chang...
LS, I'm using the following code to test the outputting of fatal errors to the browser: use CGI; use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); die "test"; I am expecting to see some error in the browser, but there isn't any, I just get a regular 500 response. I forgot that I had custom error pages on for remote requests, and I now get Script f...
I'm using fork() on Perl on Windows (ActivePerl) for a basic socket server, but apparently there are problems (it won't accept connections after a few times), is there any workaround? Here is the portion of the relevant code: while($client = $bind->accept()) { $client->autoflush(); if(fork()){ $client->close(); } else { $bi...
Tom Christiansen's example code (à la perlthrtut) is a recursive, threaded implementation of finding and printing all prime numbers between 3 and 1000. Below is a mildly adapted version of the script #!/usr/bin/perl # adapted from prime-pthread, courtesy of Tom Christiansen use strict; use warnings; use threads; use Thread::Queue; su...
I cannot get in-place editing Perl one-liners running under ActivePerl to work unless I specify them with a backup extension: C:\> perl -i -ape "splice (@F, 2, 0, q(inserted text)); $_ = qq(@F\n);" file1.txt Can't do inplace edit without backup. The same command with -i.bak or -i.orig works a treat but creates an unwanted backup file ...

I am trying to set up an application dependant on few Perl modules, but the server I am installing to, does not have Internet connection. I read about offline module installs via ppd files, however I would have to resolve all the dependencies one by one.. All the more tedious considering I don't have direct internet connection. I am hop...
I installed ActivePerl 5.10.1.1007 on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine.
