dynamic flash calendar
good morning, I have a calendar that is powered by perl. The problem - works on a pc, not on a mac. Basically, my mac can read the file, but not write to it. My PC reads and writes no problem. My friend wrote the perl and we are pretty much without answers at this point. If anyone has time to help/look at the .pl that would be great. You can test the calendar at http://debpasternak.com/newdeb/newseditor.html just click on edit calendar in the nav - the password is fred. I can send the .pl as attachment if someone is willing to take a look at it. thanks, Doug

Re: Process table information
Well, If we were running linux we could look in /proc. Possible solutions: 1) Get the source for darwin and study the code for the ps command. 2) Study the header files to find the format for the proc table, examine the kernel symbol table to get the start address of the proc table. Write code that fetches the table from /dev/kmem and parses it. ( I have done this with some other unix systems...). proc.h might be a good starting point. Regrettably sysctl does not give access to table info in the kernel. --Jerry Hey, I was thinking about working on Proc::ProcessTable to get support for OS X.

Source code and commentary: http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1123.html You can get a list of all BSD processes, which includes daemon processes, using the BSD sysctl routine. Code for doing this is shown in Listing 1. When using this code you should note the following. * The returned kinfo_proc structures contain a huge amount of information about the process, including the process ID (in kp_proc.p_pid) and the process name (in kp_proc.p_comm). * As far as BSD is concerned all Classic applications run within a single process. * You do not need any special privileges to make this sysctl; any user can get a list of all processes on the system. * The UNIX Programming FAQ lists a number of alternative ways to do this. Of these, the only approach that works on Mac OS X is exec'ing the ps command line tool. exec'ing ps will require parsing the tool's output and will not use system resources as efficiently as Listing 1. -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
Re: Math::Pari -- anyone using it on MacOS X?
Convenient that I just ran into this problem. It appears that the module will attempt to download the source for PARI if it can't find it, but it appears that the module can't find that source from the PARI site. As to why I have no idea, but if you go to the ftp site manually (ftp://megrez.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/unix/) and download the source tar ball and then unpack it somewhere near where your perl is installed it will find it and build the module for you. For instance I was building my modules in my home directory and installing them to ~/rearch/lib, I unpacked PARI in my home directory ~/pari-2.1.4 and it successfully found the headers it needed and installed properly. As to whether this will work on Mac OS X I can't say, I was installing on a solaris box and my poor little lap top is without a net connection right now so I can't test it. Mac OS X is BSDish enough that there is a good chance it will work, but the readme in the Mac dir at the FTP site says Macs are no longer maintained, whether this includes X is probably up in the air. However it is my understanding that it is only using the headers as reference material so there is a chance perl will be smart enough to correct itself for the X platform Good luck, http://danconia.org On Tue, 3 Dec 2002 10:34:18 -0600, Christopher D.

The next step in the development is to be able to produce bingo plates and I have been given some code dependent on PDFLib from a kind soul. I have downloaded the PDFLib tarball from www.pdflib.com, but I cannot seem to find any installation guidelines, and the package looks somewhat weird. have any of you installed these libraries, and can provide me with a link or a brief explanation on how to proceed? Matt Sergeant described how to generate such things in one of his use.perl.org journal entries. That'd require little more than pdflib and his PDFLib.pm module to produce. Maybe that's the code you're heading towards... To install pdflib you should grab the source tarball and simply follow the generic unix installation instructions (ie, ./configure, make, sudo make install). I'm pretty sure it **just worked** under 10.1.x when I installed the libraries onto my machine. Yep, just found a noteworthy piece of shouting amidst my old pdflib compile notes: it goes like this... HOORAY, NO NEED FOR ACROBATICS ANYMORE: PDFLIB 4.02 IS UP AND RUNNING STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX!! It sounds like you might have grabbed the binary distribution, which will watermark all the pages it produces until you buy a not-inexpensive license. At the bottom of the download page (http://www.pdflib.com/pdflib/download/index.html) you'll see Unix: pdflib-4.0.3.tar.gz Hopefully that tarball should look a lot more familiar. If you have any problems with that give the list archives the once-over: details are provided at http://www.pdflib.com/pdflib/resources.html Best of luck, Paul

When you feed MacPerl *.pl to MacOS X, should linefeeds in heretext emit \015 or \012? I am talking here about taking (for example) a perl program with Mac OS newlines, and making it run under Unix perl. In order for that to happen, you need to translate all the CRs to LFs. That would include the CRs in the heretext, as well as in every literal string. [revisiting an old thread] I don't think it's really a good idea to translate newlines in string literals (let's lump heretext in with string literals, since that's how they function). That stuff is part of the data of a program, not part of the instruction set. So by doing one mass CR-LF conversion blindly, you'd get the program to run, but it would run differently given the exact same data input. I don't think that's desirable. It's quite useful to have \n and File::Spec-catfile() and so on mean different things on different platforms, but literal characters changing themselves seems like quite another matter. -Ken

Re: OT praise for the cookbook
Having become a fan of OOPerl I would really love to see some good treatment of using all those nifty Class::* modules. Especially with multiple inheritance. I have to admit that I've been a bit timid to do much in the way of experimentation... BTW, any time anyone approaches me with a desire to learn Perl, I tell them to buy three books (in order), Learning Perl, Perl in a Nutshell and Perl Cookbook. The book has been a huge help, it spurred me into learning new things as a newbie and now with a few years under my belt, it is an invaluable reference. I've got high hope for a second edition. ---Mark -- American ideas of freedom are bound up with a vision of information policy that counts information as social wealth owned by all.

We've been doing this for years on Mac OS without problem. Whenever I unpack a tarball or fetch a file via FTP or HTTP, my programs are doing mass/blind newline conversions on text files. It's long been accepted as the Right Thing, and it only rarely causes problems. And on the contrary, it would cause major problems to do it the other way, not only in terms of effort (Yes, you downloaded the file via FTP as text, and it converted the newlines from Unix to Mac, but you need to go back and convert the newlines in string literals back into Unix newlines), but also in the simple fact that it would rarely be what we want. When you do a here doc, 99.99% of the time you want native newlines in there. The basic tenet is that if you embed an actual newline anywhere at all in your code, it is a logical newline, no matter where it is or what it is doing, and it should be converted to the native format of whatever the target platform is. If you want a literal \012, then you should encode it as \012 or \0xA or \cJ. -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
