[SLUG] 'butfirst' keyword in Perl.
G'day Erik, One thing thats been bugging me for a while about Perl is the lack of a butfirst keyword. Be careful what you wish for, it might come true. ;) http://search.cpan.org/~pjf/Acme-ButFirst-1.00/lib/Acme/ButFirst.pm Cheerio, Paul -- Paul Fenwick [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://perltraining.com.au/ Director of Training | Ph: +61 3 9354 6001 Perl Training Australia| Fax: +61 3 9354 2681 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Contrary to the BUGS section which states: Any use of this module should be considered a bug. I just know that at some time in the future I will be debugging someone else's Perl code and find a butfirst. And they'll be doing it just to piss me off.

[SLUG] .procmailrc + forwarding
Hello, When forwarding email with procmail, the from-address that procmail uses is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is it possible to force procmail to use something different from the login name? The problem is that the email address that's normally used is an alias and what I'm trying to do is to force forwarded mail to use this alias as the from address. Thanks. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] ISA Serial Card
Sluggers, If one was to put an ISA serial expansion card into a box running a moden (2.6 kernel) Linux version. How would one go about getting the card accessible via a /dev/ttySn device? I've a need for more than 2 serial ports and I've added such a card, installed Ubuntu then FC4 and neither appear to detect the card. With these modern versions that detect everything outta the box I've forgotten what steps are required, but so far I've poked around in /proc but still have no idea whether the card is visible or not. I've attached a modem to the ports but can't see it on /dev/ttyS2,3,4,5,6 though the other ports work via /dev/ttyS0,1 so I know the modem is good and the on-board ports are ok. Google returns a lot about compiling up a new version of the 2.2/4 kernel to install the drivers but. I guess I need to modprobe something, the card doesn't give much away, the main chip has DIGI INTL JAPAN on it and on the back a sticker says PC/2e ISA. Cluesticks TIA's Pete. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

System Administration Printing tells me that the printer HP-PSC-1600 is ready but if I try to print a test page nothing happens. From the above tool I find Ready: Open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds... Does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions I can try this evening when I can get back to it? For the record it turned out to be due to a faulty USB cable. The HPLIP Toolbox still does not think the printer exists but I can print things just the same! cheers, Ken -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
