Directory Structures!

2001-01-12 Thread Andy Williams

Hi,

I'm having a mental block today, so my apologies in advance!!

I'm using File::Find to recursively get all the files from a directory
structure, then splitting each $File::Find::name into an array.
What I need to do is put this into a data structure like:
$dirstruct{"mydir"}-{dir1}-{dir2}-["A.A","B.B"]
$dirstruct{"mydir"}-{dir1}-{dir3}-{dir4}-["C.C","D.D"]
$dirstruct{"mydir"}-{dir4}-{dir5}-["E.E"]
The directory listing would be:
/dir1/dir2/A.A
/dir1/dir2/B.B
/dir1/dir3/dir4/C.C
/dir1/dir3/dir4/D.D
/dir4/dir5/E.E

I know I've done this before, but I'll be damned if I can find it or
remember how I did it.

Please Help!

TIA

Andy

  Exactly.  I just can't handle bernsteinisms when there are good
 alternatives
  available - exim (easy), postfix (secure), mailman.  I can only put up with

 Totally agreed. FWIW, exim + mailman is a slick, effective solution.

Re: Mailman in Perl (Re: the list is dead, long live the list)

2001-01-12 Thread Aaron Trevena


Following  the interest in rope/pope, etc perhaps it would be an idea for
some of the more perl / oss oriented companies in london (or wherever) to
agree to take part in the project on a semi official basis - much of what
the work that the london and UK companies do is replicated because of lack
of comunications and worry over company secrets and competition.

If a handful of london companies can put together a press release saying
that they are supporting or backing the project with time, money, services
in lieu, etc then it would be a publicity coup and get the ball rolling.

Simultaneously a list and a hash

2001-01-12 Thread Robin Houston

In the "Directory to Data Structure" thread, there's been some
talk of a value which is a list *and* a hash, so you can have
a structure like 

$dirstruct{'mydir'}-['file1.txt', 'file2.txt']
$dirstruct{'mydir'}-{'anotherdir'}-['file3.txt', 'file4.txt']

and there was talk of tie().

But really there's a much easier way to do it:

  local *mydir;
  @mydir = qw(file1.txt file2.txt);
  %mydir = (anotherdir = [qw(file3.txt file4.txt)]);

  my $dirstruct = {mydir = *mydir};

  $,=", "; $\="\n";
  print @{$dirstruct-{mydir}};
  print @{$dirstruct-{mydir}-{anotherdir}};


or if you're offended by dynamic scoping,

  use Symbol 'gensym';

  my $mydir = *{gensym};
  @$mydir = qw(file1.txt file2.txt);
  %$mydir = (anotherdir = [qw(file3.txt file4.txt)]);

  my $dirstruct = {mydir = $mydir};

  $,=", "; $\="\n";
  print @{$dirstruct-{mydir}};
  print @{$dirstruct-{mydir}-{anotherdir}};


 .robin.

the first thing they could offer to do is to host the final rpms/tar.gz's

what about the actual mechanics of putting rope together? i'm assuming
we'd create a /usr/local/Rope, build the latest stable perl in there,
then configure apache for mod_perl etc and install it under there as 
well, the the other modules.

finally is it enough to simply tar.gz /usr/local/Rope and tag it
with the architecture details

we would probably need some final install program to be run, that
would handle the local details of the system - such as what user
to run apache as

comments? suggestions?
