Subject: Perl Tk questions
Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2000 11:12:52 -0500
The problem
I have an app that can run for a long time, even hours, leaving the user to
stare at an hourglass. Progress messages are written to the command box,
but most of the users are at such a level, that asking them to open the
command prompt window strains their capabilities.
I would like to open a window, using Perl TK and then display the messages
as they are written to this window, and to a log file
I already have a program which uses the Message widget and displays a text
string. (The Text widget does not work as it does not accept either -text
or =-textvariable parameters). How do I update this as more lines are
written out. That is how do I trigger an event and capture the output from
the filehandle when new output arrives.
I have looked at the TK documentation, especially Eventloop and fileevent.
I find a lot of information, but no simple answer to my question. My quest
is complicated since this is my first excursion into GUI event-driven
programming. In the TK eventloop documentation
(http://velocity.activestate.com/docs/ActivePerl/site/lib/Tk/Eventloop.html
)there is a routine that claims to solve this problem, but I do not
understand it. This is complicated by the fact that it won't compile under
the "use strict" pragma.
I should note that I am using 5.5. Also even if it works, will it
compile? I understand that there are many caveats on compiling TK .

You need to change the PPM setup to remove the SOAP, and use HTTP instead.
Type 'ppm set' and look for the "Current PPD repository paths". If this path
includes a "soap" URL, you need to delete it, and then replace it with the
following URL:
ActiveState Package Repository:
http://www.ActiveState.com/PPMPackages/5.6
Use the "ppm help set" to find out how to modify the PPD repository paths.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Subject: emailing from NT using Mail::Mailer
Hi Gang,
I had an application that was using Mail::Mailer to email a log file. It
was working on my workstation, but when I went to put it on the production
server it wouldn't work. So I went back and replicated the situation on
the workstation (basically started with a clean install) and am now getting
the same error. I believe this is a newer version of the MailTools module
and am wondering why this is a problem?
Here is a small program that I'm using to test:
use strict;
use Mail::Mailer;
my $Manager = "jjeffrie\@hq.marh.gov.bc.ca";
my $logfile = "c:\\NTtestPrograms\\logs\\doForms.log";
print "I'm here\n";
my $mailer = Mail::Mailer->new("smtp", "thor.marh.gov.bc.ca");
print "I'm here2\n";
$mailer->open({ 'From' => 'doForms',
'To' => $Manager,
'Subject' => 'doForms' }) or die "Can't open: $!\n";
print "I'm here3\n";
open (LOG, $logfile);
while (<LOG>) {
print $mailer $_;
}
close(LOG);
$mailer->close();
#EOF
The error message is:
"Died at c:/Perl/site/lib/Mail/Mailer.pm line 264"
The error message comes from:
# Fork and start a mailer ******** this is where it dies??? ********
(defined($exe) && open($self,"|-"))
|| $self->exec($exe, $args, \@to)
|| die $!;
So, there you have it.. any suggestions??? Maybe I need to scrap the whole
thing and find another way to email from NT?
Thanks,
Janice

Subject: Win32::Service Assist
Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2000 13:23:18 -0500
Hi all,
I am trying to add some perl lines to determine whether an NT service is
running. All seems okay except status hash contains numerics instead of the
expected strings. The numerics vary depending on the service but oddly don't
change whether the service is running or stopped.
Specifically, here's the snippet:
use Win32::Service;
my $ServiceStatus;
$ServiceStatus = Win32::Service::GetStatus( '', 'Messenger', \%ServiceStatus
);
while((my $a, my $b ) = each(%ServiceStatus)) {
print "$a, $b\n";
}
END
$ServiceStatus = 1 so the function thinks it did something, but this the
output:
CurrentState, 4
ServiceType, 32
CheckPoint, 0
ServiceSpecificExitCode, 0
WaitHint, 0
Win32ExitCode, 0
ControlsAccepted, 5
I would expect "CurrentState, SERVICE_RUNNING" and other hash elements to
be as specified in Win32 Platform SDK for the SERVICE_STATUS structure.
What am I doing wrong here? tia
Bob

PPM does not actually compile modules, but what it does do is unpack them
and remember where they are, so if you want to uninstall a module, PPM knows
where it is and removes it for you. There are other benefits like using
'search' command to find the module packages, and 'verify' to check if you
have the latest versions.
Notwithstanding all this, some modules do need compiling (when they contain
C code as well as plain Perl). For those modules you do need to make sure
they are compiled for the right version of Perl on your machine. PPM will
check this for you, and avoid incompatibilities. However, it won't actually
compile the modules, so if the module is not available in your version of
Perl, it will simply not install it. At that point, you have to do manual
compiling, or persuade someone (usually at ActiveState) to compile it for
you/us.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Subject: Installing Modules without PPM
I want to install some modules which are not in the PPM repository. I have
succeeded by placing these modules in a dircectory pointed to by @INC. It
works.
My question is, what does the PPM ( or for that matter the makefile under
Unix) do differently. Does it compile to modules into the perl binary?

OK.
Your TEMP area is different than mine. I use C:\TEMP
Not sure if that matters.
If it's WinNT, make sure the permissions are open (Full Control everyone)
When I saw this error before, I did totally reinstall perl and it went away,
but I cannot remember whether that fixed it or whether it was what I posted
below.
The important thing when installing new perl is to uninstall ALL old version
first (including current version) using the Control Panel -> Add/Remove
Programs
Also, delete the C:\perl directory (or wherever you keep perl) before
installing the latest version.
Did you do all that when you installed the latest version? If not, I can
only suggest you try it (i.e. totally uninstall perl and delete spurious
files before reinstalling).
Cheers,
Jonathan

Jonathan,
The path seems to be correct as you can see:
H:\>ppm set
Commands will be confirmed.
Temporary files will be deleted.
Case-insensitive searches will be performed.
Package installations will continue if a dependency cannot be installed.
Tracing info will not be written.
Screens will not pause.
Query/search results will be verbose.
Current PPD repository paths:
ActiveState Package Repository:
http://www.ActiveState.com/PPMPackages/5.6
Packages will be built under: C:\DOCUME~1\effad.CMISNT\Local Settings\Temp

You need to change the PPM setup to remove the SOAP, and use HTTP instead.
Type 'ppm set' and look for the "Current PPD repository paths". If this path
includes a "soap" URL, you need to delete it, and then replace it with the
following URL:
ActiveState Package Repository:
http://www.ActiveState.com/PPMPackages/5.6
Use the "ppm help set" to find out how to modify the PPD repository paths.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Does anyone have any ideas for this problem (below).
This happens on both a Windows NT V4 SP 6a server and a Windows 2000 SP 1
workstation with Perl V5.6 Build 620.
