Dave... Although we have Net::SMTP installed on our servers and there is a formail program there, there is no way any member of support is going to tell an average 'my first homepage' AOL customer that they need to use a script that requires anything extra installed. They have difficulty enough telling the difference between binary and ascii mode let alone being able to handle module installation. If the script is meant to be a replacement for matts script then using Net::SMTP negates this based on the target audience for matts scripts IMHO. Will.

oh and this bit

Yes - it's a bit crap. And I'm having trouble with it (read: can't get it

I think we should be able to put all the Win32 specific bits in one place,

blat is as good a place to start as any I suppose.

RE: Not Matt's Scripts
more on blat/win32 mailers Arse, apologies for the two messages - I remembered the following and pressed send simultaneously... IMHO (and I've looked into this in some depth for various projects over the past 2 years), there aren't that many command-line mailers for win32. The only other anywhere-near-prolific one is W3JMail, which is an absolute arse to configure, and is only used in most outfits because it plugs very well into ASP pages. All the cheap hosting companies I've ever seen who do NT and offer mail-out facilities do blat. Any other command-line mailers which exist are generally unstable, unconfigurable or downright obscure. My advice would be to configure Win32 systems to use blat out of the box, and (possibly) invite input from people who use anything different. That's the OSS way, after all!

MWF Forum (as an example) has modules in the same directory as the scripts which seem to just get useed in the usual way. Could we not ship our own version of File::Find, and have the code use it if it can't use the real File::Find because it's not installed ? OK, so it would eat up disk space but if it were clever, there would be some run once code that would figure out what's there and what isn't and tell the user which files they could safely remove. Ideally it would rewrite itself and do the deletes automatically but I suspect that clueful ISPs will have removed write permissions for the webserver to write to cgi-bin ! Just a thought. Simon.

YAPC::E abstract
Any comments before I send this off? .robin. Type: talk Duration: 40 mins Title: Mutagenic Modules Slides (draft version): http://London.pm.org/~robin/semantic-talk/0.title.html Abstract: It's possible to write a Perl module which will change the meaning of subsequent code in some way. Pragmas (eg use integer) alter meaning in this way, but require significant co-operation from the perl interpreter. However, there are many different ways that you can write your own mutagenic modules. Mechanisms that make this possible include: * AUTOLOAD * CORE::UNIVERSAL:: * overload::constant * source filters * CHECK blocks * tie() ...and many more. You can do a lot of fun, interesting tricks using these mechanisms, and I shall demonstrate several different examples; but there are limits to what you can do. To take a simple example, there's no general way to change the behaviour of the print function. I'll briefly mention the difficulties I encountered trying to implement the mythical Symbol::Approx::Scalar module. Next I present a brief overview of the internal workings of the perl interpreter: How it parses your code and compiles it into an optree, and how the optree is then executed. A compiler backend (or, to speak more generally, a CHECK block) interposes itself between these two stages, and converts the optree into some other form. My favourite compiler backend is B::Deparse, which just converts the optree back into Perl source code! Finally I'll describe some work (currently still in the planning phase) to use a Deparse-like module to convert the optree into a structured object model which represents the original code. This object model can serialise itself as Perl code; but serialisation of any specific construct can be over-ridden to produce different code. (The objects will also have methods which enumerate the lexical variables which are in-scope at that point in the program.) This then amounts to a perfectly general mechanism for applying any kind of semantic transformation to any Perl code.
