Recently I bought an iMac for my wife and I want her to help me print reports from this new computer. How do I get her computer to get data from the MySQL database that lives on my computer via Airport? Do you have any suggestions on things I can try? You're digging in a little too deep, friend. Airport is irrelevant. That's at a whole different level of the TCP/IP stack. Just treat it like it's another Ethernet address. Good Luck. Gregg

It makes me a little queasy, since .local was supposed to be reserved for a slightly different administrative purpose, but, on the other hand, it kind of makes sense. (Thanks, Wikipedia.)

How to know if a module is installed
Hello,
This is a newbie question: how can I determine if a specific module
is installed on a client machine?
I would like to do something like this:
if (MacPerl installed is true) {
do this...;
}
else {
do nothing...;
}
Thank you in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Nobumi Iyanaga

Wrap a require() in an eval block, and then check to see if the eval
() succeeded. Untested, typed in Mail, etc.:
my $has_modulename;
BEGIN {
eval {
require Module::Name;
# If you'd ordinarily use Module::Name qw(foo bar baz);, pass
# the qw(foo bar baz) to import here.
import Module::Name qw(foo bar baz);
};
# If the eval failed, we don't have the module
if ($@) {
$ has_modulename = 0;
} else {
$ has_modulename = 1;
}
}
That's if you want to check within a script - if you want to quickly
check from a command-line, there's an easier way:
perl -MModule::Name -e 'print $Module::Name::VERSION, \n'

In that case, use the host name you've configured for it. :)
