Re: Getting the web page language
Hi, Just to clarify... ISO-8859-1 is not 'Plain American English'. The charset for that is US-ASCII. ISO-8869-1 is extended ASCII (Latin1), and covers glyphs from most Western European languages. ( French (fr), Spanish (es), Catalan (ca), Basque (eu), Portuguese (pt), Italian (it), Albanian (sq), Rhaeto-Romanic (rm), Dutch (nl), German (de), Danish (da), Swedish (sv), Norwegian (no), Finnish (fi), Faroese (fo), Icelandic (is), Irish (ga), Scottish (gd), and English (en), incidentally also Afrikaans (af) and Swahili (sw), thus in effect also the entire American continent, Australia and much of Africa.) Having a -2, -3, etc... are other extended Latin charsets which add more glyphs. For example, Latin5 (ISO-8859-5) covers Cyrillic, which is not a part of ISO-8869-1. So, although ISO-8859-1 is usually a default, it doesn't mean you are typing/getting plain English.

Does it matter what language, or what charset? meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1/ You can always look at this and the lang=foo tags to try to determine what language, or at least what charset, the page is in. Of course, a charset (like iso-8869-1) can cover many languages, but at least you can narrow it down a little if you don't find a lang=foo tag.

Re: MIME::Lite 'Datestamp' problem -- truncating timezone? (UT instead of UTC)
UT (Universal Time) is a valid TZ. It is the same as UTC and GMT. So, treat it as if it is GMT when parsing. Smart mail clients don't always use the abbreviation, and use the offset (the -0500 bit). So, sending as UT is perfectly valid, although not always the best way to do it. You can set the TZ manually in MIME::Lite (which you really should do, IMO) like: $msg = MIME::Lite-new( From = $from, To = $to, Cc = $cc, Subject= $subject, Type = 'TEXT', Encoding = $transfer_encoding, ... more stuff if you need ... Date = $date, Data = $body ); So, if you create a valid Date string, just set it yourself. This can also help make your software more internationalized, since you can properly send email from a users TZ, as opposed to UT with an offset based on your server (for example, people who use my web-based email system may be in JST, not EST5EDT, so they want their email to reflect this). Cheers, Kevin On Mon, Aug 26, 2002 at 04:52:45PM -0500, Karl Kaufman ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) said something similar to: Hello, I'm trying to determine whether there's a problem with the MIME::Lite module.

(It's my opinion that the UT timezone on line 1057 of MIME::Lite is a typo/error.) Thanks in advance..! Karl K. Details --- I noticed that timestamps on my emails generated using MIME::Lite were off by 5 hours, so I looked into how MIME::Lite was timestamping the messages. I quickly noticed what appeared to be the problem: UTC is being truncated to just UT in the prepared message -- so the receiving system, unable to translate the unknown timezone (i.e. 'UT'), assumes local time instead of UTC/GMT -- causing the 5-hour difference (since my systems are in CDT).

##
## printenv -- demo CGI program which just prints its environment

Netscape6 works fine and displays the environment in the browser window, but
IE 6 tries to download the script and it looks like the server isn't being

Hi list,
I'm just trying to get started with cgi (w2k, Apache 2.0.40), and have been
using the sample script printenv.pl which is included with Apache:
#!c:/Perl/bin/Perl.exe
##
## printenv -- demo CGI program which just prints its environment
##
print Content-type: text/plain\n\n;
foreach $var (sort(keys(%ENV))) {
$val = $ENV{$var};
$val =~ s|\n|\\n|g;
$val =~ s||\\|g;
print ${var}=\${val}\\n;
}
However, if I try to run this script from a browser using the url:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/printenv.pl
Netscape6 works fine and displays the environment in the browser window, but
IE 6 tries to download the script and it looks like the server isn't being
allowed to run it.
I appreciate that this is probably a bit off-topic, but any advice or
pointers to other resources would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks
Matt

Re: newbie question
This is actually a bug. It just seems that nobody seems to care :) It
would break too many JAPHs which use this.
So, don't depend on it, in case it is ever fixed.

Re: time and date
Hi Anadi, You want to take a look at the MIME-tools, specifically MIME::Parser and MIME::Head (look for MIME::Tools on http://search.cpan.org). If that seems too heavy duty for your needs, take a look at the Mail::* modules on the CPAN. Also look there for ways to access the mail, if you haven't gotten that far yet (Mail::POP3Client, Mail::IMAPClient, etc...).

I am the one who watches the lists, if you haven't noticed or read the FAQs. Admins cross-posting isn't unheard of when it comes to administriva situations. Never ever do this if that's not CGI related to CGI, and not to Perl to either any of them. If you don't understand, please read the FAQ. I wrote the FAQ. In case, I can't assume the subs.ers are subs. on both group, but my question is related to both on CGI issues and Perl issues. So I have the reason to cross posting. On my point of view, this actually asking to 2 independent groups. No, you don't. If the question is related to Perl _and_ CGI, then it should go to the beginners-cgi list. If it is CGI related, it doesn't belong on the beginners list. This isn't rocket science. Many people subscribe to both list. But, as with any list(s), it is appropriate to post to the best suited one for the topic of your question. Some people have even emailed me privately asking if it is OK to say 'thanks' on a list (which it is, of course). Why is it some people are so polite, and others are so argumentative? I believe that I behaves good on almost postes, to the right list. I seldom cross posting unless I have the reason to. There is no reason to, unless you are an admin for the lists. This has been discussed before, if you searched the archives you would likely find me saying don't cross-post multiple times. You would also find list members asking people not to cross-post. These are sister lists, not independent groups. If the FAQ and the members of the lists hasn't made that apparant, me stating it should. Also, if you are not giving ans. to my question, but a warning, pls go on by private, if you are not trying to telling the world that you are a police. I am the police of the lists. Again, (re)read the FAQs. Sorry I used your email as the one to respond to, but as someone active on the lists, you should know better. I do send PLENTY of emails in private, believe me. I also get emails in private asking me to make sure people do not cross-post. In fact, I do believe I have sent you private emails before about cross-posting. I still submit to beginners list, as I have the impression that this list is more leadership. If some guys still warn or suggestion me to choose either one of the group for even my questions are related to both, I will follow and respect on it. When you go to someones house, and they ask you to remove your shoes.. do you give them back-talk and wait for other guests to make the request to you?

Re: undef of nested data structures
As a side note, you can play around with Devel::Peek to see how many things are referencing a variable. # perl -MDevel::Peek -e '$foo=foo;$bar=\$foo;$zog=\$foo;Dump($foo);$bar=bar;Dump($foo);print $foo;'; SV = PV(0x80f2424) at 0x810b3cc REFCNT = 3 FLAGS = (POK,pPOK) PV = 0x80f10a0 foo\0 CUR = 3 LEN = 4 SV = PV(0x80f2424) at 0x810b3cc REFCNT = 2 FLAGS = (POK,pPOK) PV = 0x80f10a0 foo\0 CUR = 3 LEN = 4 foo There, you can see $foo has a REFCNT (ref count) of 3 ($foo, $bar and $zog), then a REFCNT of 2 after the value of $bar is re-assigned. Of course, the value in $foo is still 'foo'; # perl -MDevel::Peek -e '$foo=foo;$bar=\$foo;$zog=\$foo;Dump($foo);$$bar=bar;Dump($foo);print $foo;'; SV = PV(0x80f2424) at 0x810b3cc REFCNT = 3 FLAGS = (POK,pPOK) PV = 0x80f10a0 foo\0 CUR = 3 LEN = 4 SV = PV(0x80f2424) at 0x810b3cc REFCNT = 3 FLAGS = (POK,pPOK) PV = 0x80f10a0 bar\0 CUR = 3 LEN = 4 bar Here, the REFCNT, as expected, stays the same. And the value in $foo is changed. If you are within code and want to make sure you don't undef things which have refs to it, you can use: # perl -MDevel::Peek=SvREFCNT -e \ '$foo=foo;$bar=\$foo;$zog=\$foo;print SvREFCNT($foo);'; 3 Which will tell you how many refs there are. Of course, if it is 1, then nothing else should be referencing $foo aside $foo. This doesn't answer the question in any way, but thought some may be interested in this side-note.

I also know that it doesn't actually free up the memory but tells Perl that it's now available to be recycled for other data. Well, you probably should't worry about memory allocation details. Perl takes care of all those details behind the scenes. but what about nested data (ie. hashes of hashes, arrays of arrays, etc.). if $ref is a reference to a nested structure (let's say a hash of hashes). will - undef $ref; - undefine the enitre nested data structure if no other variables contain references to any part of it? (assuming no cyclical references) undef($ref) undefines the scalar $ref. Now, if whatever $ref was pointing to had no other references to it, then yes, that data would be freed. But this is a side effect of the undef(), not something special about undef() itself. The same thing would happen if you assigned foo to $ref, so that $ref no longer contained a reference to some data. Data is freed when the last reference to it is removed. You can think of undef like this: undef($scalar); is the same as: $scalar = undef; undef(@array); is the same as: @array = (); undef(%hash); is the same as: %hash = (); -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [Writing CGI Applications with Perl - http://perlcgi-book.com] Children are naive -- they trust everyone.

Re: Extracting attachments from emails
I use MIME::Parser, and have always loved it. It will extract
attachments to files, and you can do what you want with them.
For example:
use MIME::Parser;
my $message = however you are getting the raw message;
$parser-output_dir('/some/directory');
my $entity = $parser-parse_data(\$message);
At this point, attachments should have been parsed out and created in
$INCOMING_DIR. Use $entity to fondle the rest of the message as you
want. Much more info in the docs.

suppose you could use a regular recursive call to the standard

I'm very grateful that we have these lists, and someone who's volunteered to monitor them. Anyone who's been on a list that's been spammed or flamed can appreciate that. Thanks. No grudge held on any perceived blasting :) There seems to be a happy medium between the lists that allow almost everything and those that allow almost nothing. The intent behind my I try to maintain that balance as best I can. I read both lists, *almost* every post on each. I try to make sure that when things get out of hand, it is stopped, when I think something (judgement call) could easily get out of hand, I stop it and when I think things may run their course, I try to allow it. Seeing as these lists have been a pretty friendly place, and I see people who were once asking questions now answering questions, I think whatever I have done hasn't been too bad :-) $self-hort(toot) poorly worded post was to just add a quiet voice of moderation, hoping to calm a frustrated belt-wielding mother. As with little children, drawing attention to misbehavior (especially in public) isn't nearly as productive If this were a paying job (feel free to send me money!) I would love to send emails to everyone thanking them. But, it isn't, so you only see the 'negative' things because I try to make sure there is order, and this list doesn't turn into one of the lists which allow almost anything. as reinforcing positive behavior. It was only a single post on this list, not a thread spinning out of control, and it probably would've died without further comment. And people seem to like that better. That's where, as a 'list mom', I need to make a judgement call. In this case, you may have seen a single post, but on the other beginners list I had said (10 minutes before) that is wasn't an appropriate topic for the beginners forum... then POW! It is posted here. So, I immediately closed it. Judgement calls, they aren't always popular. But, I feel that when a discussion on 'religious' or 'ethical' issues is about to begin, they can go on for WAY to long, and it simply isn't on topic for a list meant to help beginners. I, over the past year+, have let many threads run their course, as you said. So, similar to what you said, drawing attention in a public forum for one thing you disagree with isn't as productive as positive reinforcement. This happens every few months as new people cycle in and out.. I try my best :) If anyone has comments (good or bad), suggestions, money, thanks, flames, etc... please send them to me off the list.

Re: yahoo mail did't compile HTML mail
compiled like hotmail makes no sense. It is how the email client (in this case Hotmail and Yahoo!) handle incoming email messages. If you are not adding the proper header information, you can not expect the client to do what you want. Do you even know if Yahoo! handles HTML mail correctly? If it does, then you aren't doing the Right Thing when creating the email. Proper Content-Type header info should work. Hotmail may be displaying whatever is in the email body (HTML, in this case), while Yahoo! is treating it as text, since that is the default when no Content-Type is explicitly given. To create more robust emails, look into MIME::Lite, or some such modules. For the web-based email system I wrote, I use MIME::Lite and all is happy.

Re: [sorta OT] Re: Matt Wright's formMail
Ack.. I used to have a nice long, detailed reason why (I think I may have sent it to someone on this list at some point who asked me the same question). To sum up.. Matts code is bad. It has various security holes, is not maintained, and is in Perl 4. The 'vendetta' has come from years of him NOT removing his scripts from the internet (spreading cargo-cult programming), and not updating them accordingly. When someone is new to Perl (like yourself) you may just say Hey, here are some free scripts I can use! YAY! and not know they are outdated, poorly programmed, barely supported, and are know to have recurring security issues. As well, his code should not be used by beginners to learn how to program in Perl. Instead, it should be (and is) used in talks of what not to do. Many of us in the Perl community have repeatedly asked him to either rewrite his code fully, or simply remove it from his site. He has, each time, either ignored or flatly refused to do so. This is why NMS was finally started. So, it is the security concerns, as well as the others I mentioned. Someone else may even have a few I have forgotten. I hope this answers your question :) BTW folks, please do not turn this into an ever-going Matt bashing thread.. or I will be forced to close it (trying to be preventative here).

Re: Handling Charset
I rolled my own module to handle i18n issues with email, and parsing
strings such as that. One of the MIME::* or Mail::* modules may do it,
but I didn't see any which did it (which is why I did my own).
Basically, you need to parse out the bits of the string (not hard)..
then take the encoded part, either base64 or quote-print decode it (the
B or Q), then convert the charset to what you want (I used Text::Iconv
to go from charset to charset).
You will have to loop through the string, since it may contain various
encodings. Something like:
while ($string =~ s!(.*?)=\?(.+?)\?(.)\?(.*?)\?=(.*?)!!is) { .. parsing
and decoding .. }
I use MIME::Base64 and MIME::QuotedPrint for the decoding. Anyways,
that should get you started. You may also want to ask on the perl-i18n
list for these types of things, you can also email me directly since
this isn't really a beginners question (unless you ONLY want to parse
the string) and I have a lot of experience with this.

Kevin

Happy List Anniversary
Hey folk, This list has now been around for just over a year. It was created on April 11, 2001 and announced on use Perl; a few days later. Considering the number of people on here, there have been minimal issues with flaming, OT posts, and general mayhem (let's keep it up!). In all, based on private feedback I have gotten and public feedback, this is a kick-arse list for beginners and helpers alike. Good job folks, I think we have done a fine job at making this a comfortable forum for beginners to ask questions.

Re: Taint Mode
Hi Andrew, Please read the perlsec man page (perldoc perlsec) to learn about -T. If something still isn't clear, ask for some clarification. @INC is an array Perl uses to hold a list of directories which it will search for modules which are 'use'-ed or 'require'-ed. perl -wle 'print $_ . \n for @INC'; And, after you have read perlsec (why do I always type that as perlsex first?) you will be able to know why : perl -Twle 'print $_ . \n for @INC'; Gives slightly different output.

Have you looked at the LWP::* modules? Here's why: We're getting a new NT server. We currently run our pages on CGI scripts, but we're planning to move all our hosting to ASP in the next few months. In the meanwhile, we'll be running CGI on the new (ASP and Perl are both forms of CGI scripting) server. Since ASP has a built-in mail function, my boss doesn't want to ASP has it's own mail server built-in? Scary. I'd love to hear from anyone who has the experience to tell me: Is my boss brilliant, or crazy? Can this be done, and if so, how? Why are you moving from Perl to ASP? Perl does run fine under NT (with IIS and Apache). Anyways, look into the LWP modules which should help you with this problem.

MIME::Base64). You could use quotable-printable, but you'll have to do some
character translation and it gets yucky real fast.
o Take note that the filename is mentioned twice. You can provide
that any way you want.
o The number in $boundry is up to you. Just make it unique and
consistent throughout the message. The number of dashes is fixed and must
follow the format given.
o Change the path of sendmail to your own sendmail program.

Re: Simple error... I think....
Hi Daniel,
On Wed, Nov 28, 2001 at 11:13:59AM +1030, Daniel Falkenberg
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) said something similar to:
[snip]
%users = (
'crud' = '503',
'test' = '45',
'test4' = '45',
'test2' = '45',
'daniel'= '45'
);
[snip]
#Check to see if #user exists
if ( ! defined $users{$user} ) {
print Sorry user $user does not exist! \n;
}elsif (! defined $users{$user}{'45'} ) {
print Sorry the user $user does not have a GID of 45! \n;
} else {
print Found $user! This user has a GID of 45! \n;
}
For some reason it will check the first if statement (! defined
$users{$user}) and check this OK. But when I get to the second if
statement ( ! defined $users{$user}{'45'} ) it will never return true no
matter what $user is set to? I figured that ! defined
$users{$user}{'45'} would return false if for example $user = crud, but
if $user = test4 then it should return to the last else statement?
There is no $user{test4}{45}. If the hash looked like the following, there
would be:
%users = (
'crud' = '503',
'test' = '45',
'test4' = {45 = 'fortyfive'},
'test2' = '45',
'daniel'= '45'
);
You really want that statement to look like:
}elsif ($users{$user} != 45) {
Cheers,
Kevin

I sees the above openings in almost every script. What I could not understand is the reason for putting the die statement when the above statement will never die.

Re: XMLParser and Perl
Hi Art, What exactly are you looking for? You can look at the documentation for XML::Parser, XML::Simple, or any of the other XML::* modules. There are articles relating to XML and Perl on www.xml.com, and on www.perlmonks.com (search for some XML QA). There are Perl/XML related mailing lists which you can find on lists.perl.org.
