Here is a specific Expect example:

If its true that we have to use two versions of Perl Expect.PM

Hi,
How do I best test for a valid host name? My script will read from a

Your regex did not allow (w2k-server-proxy2) a valid dns name.

Is there a nice clean perl way to test to see if only one key of a hash

%some_hash = ( key1 => 1, key2 => 2 ); should fail the test
%some_hash = ( key2 => 2 ); should pass the test

So, please tell me how to install it.
fyi, I've never installed a cpan or any perl package, if there is such a
thing.

Can someone shorten this upper routine?
sub toUpper
{ my $z = shift;
$z =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/;
return $z;
}
Also in a slightly different scenario, how can i change the value of the
parameter itself with a sub.
$a="ca";
toUpper($a); #change the $a value itself
print $a; #I want it to print "CA"
I like that - lc() and uc()
Hmm... I wonder why it is not in the orielly book?
thanks,

Great stuff everyone!
Some of it is still greek to me ;)
here's what I got to work for me:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $a="aBe";
my $b="bOb";
my $c="cAb";
aUpper($a);
bUpper($b);
cUpper($c);
print $a . " " . $b . " " . $c . "\n";

THanks alot for the install info. But I would like your opinion for the
following questions:
1 - Do you think that it will work without installing the XS? It seems to
be working fine but it is giving me a warning message all the time.
2 - DO I need to worry about it messing anything (kernel/perl
Can someone hlpe me clean up this trim?
Rule: remove all trailing blanks and newline/LF
Do I need a chomp here somewhere?
sub trim
{ my $z = $_[0];
$z =~ s/^\s+//;
$z =~ s/\s+$//;
return $z;
}
thanks,

Your response is great!
Being new to the environment, simple and fundamental things can be
frustrating. Your step-by-step instruction not only made it possible to
install but it gave me a clue into understanding how the perl/cpan are
structured/organized.
I just have a follow-up question. Is

Do you think you meant this?
