Everything worked fine. However,and it may not be actually related to PPM3, when I finished working withPPM3 and returned to the DOS prompt, I found that I could not longer runPERL scripts directly from the command line. Prior to my excursion intothe world of PPM3, I would type, for example, Question_load.pl at thecommand prompt and Question_load.pl would compile and run. Now itdoesn't. Instead I get an error dialog message box with the message:"The Windows Installer failed to install the program associated withthis file. Please contact your system administrator." After clickingthe OK button, I get in the DOS window, "Access Denied". However,fortunately, and strangely, typing: perl Question_load.pl worksperfectly.Any suggestions on what happened and how to fix it? I liked being ableto just type the script name again.BTW, I'm using v5.6.1 Build 631 for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread on an WinNT4 SP6James H.

FILEHANDLE Problem
This is going to drive me nuts I have my test snippet below
#!/Perl
When I run this as shown below, I get the error: Invalid argument.
open(FILE, d:\path_to\textfiles\test.txt) or die Can't open $!;
if(eof(FILE)) {
print IM EMPTY;
}
else {
while (FILE) {
chomp;
print;
}
}
When I run it as:
open(File, ../textfiles/test.txt)
I get file or directory not found. Now I know that all is well and the file
exists. I come out of the cgi-bin, and into the textfiles directory, and get
the test.txt file. But to no prevail.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Steve.

Fernando, Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the associations and file typing are correct: Well, I'm out of sugestions here. Other than trying to upgrade your current version to the same one, that is, reinstalling ActivePerl, but that you probably already tried...

Is that viable, or do I have to test for either one, and split accordingly. To Moshe and other newbie posters: This is kind of a silly question. Why ? Because it would take but 2-3 minutes to test the premise instead of waiting for hours for a list response. You need to take a little initiative and test these things on your own. Plus you'll learn more by a little trial and error and save a lot of bandwidth. Try your code above and use Data:Dumper (or just print the @array in quotes) to determine what results you got. Everyone posting to the list should weigh the time involved to test something against the amount of time for thousands of list members to read/delete your message. I've never posted to the list for core Perl help and never had a Perl class, but somehow I manage to write Perl programs that get the job done. Sometimes it can take hours to work out a problem and you have to at least make the effort before asking for help. If you've already tested several ways and are still stumped, then by all means ask the list for help - that's what it's there for. I don't think it's there to do your learning/testing for you though - we all need to do a lot of that on our own to become proficient. Also consider the Perl beginners list at Yahoo groups until you get comfortable with Perl. -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert ICQ=162126130 (_/ / )// // DBE Collectibles Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /-- o // // http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (Free site for Perl) -/-' /___/__/_/_ Castle of Medieval Myth Magic http://www.todbe.com/ ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
DBI::XBase
Hello, I am getting unreliable behavior from using DBI::XBase and am trying to get to the bottom of it. Besides the .dbf files, should any other files be in the directory that I am pointing to (such as .cdx, etc.)? Any pointers in working with XBase? The behavior I am getting is that the computer freezes and I have to reset the machine. Thanks in advance. Kevin.

Looking at the native interface is no use; you have to check the IDispatch interface to see what parameters foo() expects. Or does the application also define a GUID object? In that case you need to create an instance of that and pass a reference to it.

Re: (was Re: win32 and win32::Lanman conflicting?)
Hey Jan (and anyone else with thoughts),
So I did what you said. Completely uninstalled activeperl, removed the
Perl tree, and then reinstalled activeperl (5.6.1 build 633) and lanman
(1.0.9.2). I still get the mess at the end of this e-mail. My program
consists of only this much code:
#! perl -w
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use Win32;
use Win32::Lanman;
Do you have any other thoughts?
Thanks
Jason
