Could you please give me some suggestions on how to parse HTML in Perl? I plan to parse the keywords(including URL links) and save them to a MySQL database. I am using Windows XP. Also, do I first need to download some website pages to the local hard drive with some offline Explorer tool? If I do, could you point me to a good download t...

I'm trying to setup a Perl development environment on my Mac laptop and have been having a really hard time getting it working. I thought I had everything configured correctly but when I try to run a sample script it is reporting errors with the DBI module and can't access the DB.

I have an SQL file which will give me an output like below: 10|1 10|2 10|3 11|2 11|4 . . . I am using this in a Perl script like below: my @tmp_cycledef = `sqlplus -s $connstr \@DLCycleState.sql`; after this above statement, since @tmp_cycledef has all the output of the SQL query, I want to show the output as: 10 1,2,3 11 2,4 Ho...

The user enters a product code, price and name using a form. The script then either adds it to the database or deletes it from the database.

I just recently started out on Moose and its a great OO framework not only to use but also to learn new OO concepts. One of the things I wanted to do was to do error reporting from perspective of caller during object creation. I saw that Moose has the module Moose::Error::Croak which tells Moose to override the default error reporting by...
I'm trying to install Moose (a CPAN module) on my Macbook Pro. It finds a dependency on Sub-Name, and when it tries to install this, gets the following error messages. Any idea as to how I can cure this? XMATH/Sub-Name-0.04.tar.gz /usr/bin/make -- OK Running make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /opt/local/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command:...
Date::Simple objects display this behavior, where $date++ returns the next day's date. Date::Simple objects are immutable. After assigning $date1 to $date2, no change to $date1 can affect $date2. This means, for example, that there is nothing like a set_year operation, and $date++ assigns a new object to $date. How can one custom-d...

Let's say I have 2 components with 2 line/signals around them: component A: input - S1 output - S2 component B: input - S2 output - S1 This will be the input data file, and the output will be a scheme that shows it as 2 blocks with connecting line...
I sometimes need to search code for patterns in a way that goes beyond the regex capabilities of Visual Studio (e.g. patterns that depend on what was seen previously in the file or on the contents of other files). So I use Perl to analyze the source and output matching lines, along with the file name and line number. Since this is the ...
I'm not thrilled with the argument-passing architecture I'm evolving for the (many) Perl scripts that have been developed for some scripts that call various Hadoop MapReduce jobs. There are currently 8 scripts (of the form run_something.pl) that are run from cron. (And more on the way ... we expect anywhere from 1 to 3 more for every f...

I'm the author of an Open Source kiosk management system, Libki. The current version, though functional, was very much a learning experience for me. I'm working on a complete rewrite and am having a hard time deciding what protocol to use. The server will be written in PHP or Perl. Most likely PHP because I need to support some uncommon...
Since there is for almost everything a module and it is repeatedly said that we should not reinvent the wheel and since I do not write modules for CPAN I have no need to use OO. But my question is, is professional Perl code mainly written in OO-style? ...
I am working on a project where I am generating some code/scripts (specifically Perl scripts) via Java and Freemarker. I have it working for now, but was wondering if there was some way to change the default variable delimiter ($) in Freemarker? Or is there a different Java template engine that would use a variable delimiter more suita...

Everything's running fine except for Template Tookit which is giving the following error: "Template process failed: undef error - This shouldn't happen at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CGI/Carp.pm line 314." The templates are working fine on the other web host. I've set the DEBUG_ALL flag ...
