You're asking about SLES11 SP3 but have posted in one of Novell's
Open Enterprise Server forums so are you perhaps using OES11 SP2
(which installs on top of SLES11 SP3)?
If you are just using "regular" SLES then you should repost in one
of SUSE's SLES Forums @ https://forums.suse.com/

Perl overloading CPU for no reason

Very frequently my iMac's fan will start running very hard and loud when I'm not doing anything to require it. In Activity Monitor the process "perl" is shown using up to 70% or 80% of my CPU capacity. If I select perl and quit it the CPU usage (and the fan noise) stops, and perl doesn't appear to restart unless I restart the computer.
I understand (barely) that perl is some kind of meta-programming language on which other applications may depend (?), so my question is this: Is quitting perl going to impair my system in any way? (It hasn't caused any obvious problems that I can see.) Also, if I really don't need it, is there a way to prevent it from starting up when I launch OSX 10.4?

Look at the launchd entries in these directories for one that mentions perl:
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/System/Library/LaunchAgents
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
... launchd starts the processes it executes based on the XML plist files in those directories. The only wrinkle in that is that the launchd plist file calls a script that uses perl to run it.
Best to leave perl running, then do (in Terminal.app):
*launchctl list*
... and see which label matches the PID given in Activity Monitor. The one with the same ID is the launchd item that started perl.

Yasql and perl-DBD-Oracle for RH7

Hi
I have installed yasql-1.61-1.noarch.rpm on RH7 but am having problems locating an appropriate perl-DBD-Oracle compatable with perl 5.6.0 for RH7.
Any pointers (or alternatives) on getting this running for RH7 and perl 5.6.0 would be much appreciated.

If you installed the base rdbms and PRO*C and Networking,
BDB-Oracle-0.5[56789] should build out of the box.
Follow the instructions in the READMEs and you should be fine.
There is a mailing list (referenced in the DBD-Oracle docs)
where you should be able to get help.
For your TNS problem. Check to make sure
that your listenr.ora and tnsnames.ora files are correct.
Also, you might check that your listener is running.
It looks like an install on a system not connected to
a network does not do that - this will cause all kinds of
TNS problems

Perl/TK binaries for SOLARIS10

Hi,
I am trying to generate binaries using SOLARIS compiler and the latest version of Perk/Tk. It does not work. I was able to do the same on AIX 5.1 and 5.3 but I am not able to repeat it on my SOLARIS box at home.
Is there someone that has compiled them and is ready to share them? I will cover shipping costs.
I need them bad.
All the best,

[perl] Writing my first module (IPTables::Rule); Looking for feedback

Well pretty much as the subject says... I've been hacking away with perl for a while, but this is the first time I've tried writing a module.
I think (hope) I'm on the right track in terms of doing it the "right" way (or one of the X "right" ways perl lets you!).
If you're bored and have time to have a glance over and tell me how I'm doing, that would be great

Sure, let's say shell scripting............
Removed them all.
juster wrote:I see you call private functions, preceded by the ampersand (&). This is the old perl 4 syntax for calling functions. Luckily this ugliness is behind us. The only practical reason to use it now is to disable argument checking which has been previously enforced by prototypes. If you remove the empty prototypes you won't have to call your "private" subs by prefixing their names with ampersands.
I was actually aware the ampersands are not required, but I like them... They're just a little hint when skimming code that it's a function... Just like $, @ or % on variables. Having a Google around, I didn't actually know there was a difference between using it and not using it, so I'm removed them too. I'll get used to it
juster wrote:The setters in your docs use assignment instead of passing the new values as arguments to methods.
Doh, that's why an extra set of eyes is useful... The test module can't pick that up
Fixed also.

Nice set of perl scripts for h264 encoding stuff

I have found a nice set of perl script written for flexible h264 related encoding. They were originally developed for gentoo but they also run fine under Debian. I guess running them under arch will work as well.

PaCPAN: tool for building Perl packages for Pacman from CPAN

http://xyne.archlinux.ca/info/pacpan
*edit*
Pacpan functionality has evolved as of version 4.0. CPAN distribution and metadata handling has improved and there are now functions which can query installed packages to determine their adherence to the packaging guidelines.
Building packages with dependency resolution etc has been move to bauerbill, which can now build CPAN packages using standard pacman options, e.g. "bauerbill -S perl-foo-bar" or "bauerbill -S Foo::Bar".

Sed and perl not replacing a letter in a file

I have a file 1.htm. I want to replace a letter ṣ (s with dot below). I tried with both sed and perl and it does not replace.
sed -i 's/ṣ/s/g' "1.htm"
perl -i -pe 's/ṣ/s/g' "1.htm"
can anyone suggest what to do
1.html

Perl also has that operator, but it usually goes by its alias tr (for transliteration). y is provided if you want to use that instead, but I don't think it will help; keep reading to find out why.
\x{0323} is a special Perl-specific syntax for Unicode character U+0323 (COMBINING DOT BELOW). Since 323 is its Unicode code point, not a byte value, that won't tell you what encoding you're using. (In UTF-8, that character becomes the 2-byte sequence cca3, which is what you'll see if you examine the file with a dumb viewer like xxd.) Fortunately, since it comes through correctly, you know Perl is properly set up and isn't trying to use some weird encoding to read your file, or interpreting it as just bytes. This makes your job in principle much easier.
However, you'll notice that Perl doesn't recognize ṣ as a single character. That's because the way your file is encoded, it isn't one character: it's an s followed by the Unicode character U+0323. This is a valid way to represent the glyph ṣ using Unicode, but it doesn't treat that glyph as a single character (in, for instance, tr/foo/bar/). Since tr can only do one-to-one character transliteration, you can't use it to transform ṣ (2 characters) into s (one character) while doing other similar transformations in one pass.
One thing you might do is to simply strip out all the U+0323 characters:
s/\x{0323}//g
# or as I would write it,
s/\N{COMBINING DOT BELOW}//g
which would leave you with just the ASCII remaining for those glyphs that use it. This works for ṛ, ṣ, and ṇ (for instance), but it will not work on ā, and you can't use a similar tactic there because ā in your file is not made by combining the ASCII 'a' with U+0305 COMBINING OVERLINE, but is in fact a single Unicode character, U+0101 (LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH MACRON).
To make a long story even longer, there is a Unicode character for ṣ (U+1E63 LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH DOT BELOW), which does not appear in your 1.htm file, but is the character you will get if you copy and paste from this forum (at least, it works that way for me). So if you typed or pasted "s/ṣ/s/g" into your perl or sed command, whether or not it would have the desired effect depends on which form of the ṣ glyph your input method gives you.
If this is a one-off, quick script, I'd write something like the following: (incomplete!)
#!/usr/bin/perl -p -i.bak
tr/ā/a/; # here add all multibyte characters that you want to transliterate
s/
\N{COMBINING DOT BELOW} | # this should take care of ḌḍḤḥḶḷṆṇṚṛṢṣṬṭ
\N{COMBINING CANDRABINDU} # this should take care of l̐
# add other combining characters that you want to get rid of here
//gx;
I added ā to the tr/// as an example; if you don't actually want to replace ā in the file, you'll want to remove that part. Without seeing the other files or knowing how they were created (different encoders produce the same glyphs in different ways), I couldn't say with certainty which of the glyphs you want to replace are represented by a single Unicode code point and which ones are represented by a letter + a combining diacritic or other mark, so you'll have to examine your files (or the encoder that generated them) to see which ones you have to deal with in which way.
You can use this tool to look up a UTF-8 byte sequence like "cc a3" to get its Unicode code point and name. Again, you'll have to examine the file with something like xxd to see the bare bytes, since any editor will probably present them as characters.
You may also wish to investigate the Text::Unidecode module on CPAN; I can't say for sure whether it will do what you want, but maybe it's close enough.

Running perl scripts off the preinstall script during a pkgadd

Hello,
I'm trying to build a custom package (apache2 + mysql + php + other stuff) and get stuck on some stone wall that I can't figure.
Correct me if I'm wrong in my assumptions, and if able, could you provide a work around ? Here it is :
- The preinstall script must be in /bin/sh , /bin/bash or any valid shell
- Must be run by root, 'f course
Now.. As I'm not that strong on bash/sh scripting, I tried to call a perl script off my preinstall script. Somehow my preinstall script just never call the .pl .
This leads me to my third assumption :
- It is impossible, not permissible to run other scripts from the preinstall script.
Basically the perl script checks for some users in /etc/passwd + /etc/group, checks for some directories, create a custom SMF manifest, etc etc . I pretty much want the .pl script to be run.
The script itself is well packaged, correctly inserted in the package's pkgmap, and so on.
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Jeff

Perl applications failing after switch from 5.16 to 5.18

I recently updated my system and it seems perl recieved an update too as it is now at 5.18. However, after the system update I could not start rxvt-unicode anymore (it segfaulted). After some research and reinstalling I found that perl is responsible for that: Going back to 5.16 fixed it.
To keep a long story short: A lot of my perl modules could not handle the new perl version. I am not a 100% sure if these would all be aur packages but I suppose not, as I also had an issue with ImageMagick (its' perl module). Finally I somehow hacked together a few commands that reinstalled most of my perl modules. However, this does not string strike me as a pretty solution (as I just searched for packages containing "perl" and reinstalled them.
For example, ImageMagick needed this as a seperate install. Now, I am wondering whether there is way to do something about this problem. I can't imagine I am the only one having a problem with this perl update, so maybe there is someone who could help me straighten this up.
Thanks in advance,
javex

Many things broke with perl 5.18, I think you should report bugs upstream.
Marc Lehmann (the guy behind urxvt) was pretty unhappy about perl 5.18 http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/rxvt- … 01795.html

Do a perl command from applescript

I'd like to use Perl from AppleScript for text replacements. The snippet below works, however when the var haystackString starts to include apostrophes, this fails. I tried using AppleScript's "quoted form of" on haystackString however it fails I think because the shell command I'm using needs single quotes to enclose the commands being executed by Perl. Any tips? Thanks, Ted
set haystackString to "this this"
set findString to "this"
set replaceString to "that"
set shellscript to ("perl -e '$s=\"" & haystackString & "\";$toFind=\"" & findString & "\";$replaceWith =\"" & replaceString & "\";$s =~ s/$toFind/$replaceWith/g;print $s;'") as string
set testString to do shell script shellscript

Hi,
Ted Fitzpatrick wrote:

Yes, that's right.
Solution, use the arguments:
set haystackString to "can't can't"
set findString to "can't"
set replaceString to "that's all"
set args to (quoted form of haystackString) & " " & (quoted form of findString) & " " & quoted form of replaceString
set testString to do shell script "perl -e '$s=\"$ARGV[0]\";$s =~ s/$ARGV[1]/$ARGV[2]/g; print \"$s\"' " & args

Pre-requisite checker script for EBS R12 and R12.1

hi
is it possible to make a pre-requisite checker script (in perl or shell) for EBS R12 and R12.1 in RHEL5 or sun OS??
can anyone help / guide me to do so??
rgrds

I don't know about EBS R12, but apparently the Oracle Universal Installer can use options to just run the prerequisite checks without having to install the product.
E.g. /runInstaller -prereqChecker or -executeSysPrereqs

Portlet - PERL communication

Hi all,
We are developing a portlet which has to access a perl module. For the portlet-perl communication which one of the below will be better.
1.Using JCA adapter.
2. Using JMS.
3. Using SOAP messaging.
4. Using CORBA.
Regards,
Muthu.

Hi oli,
as concerns the piece of code:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("perl
d://perlscripts/konverta1.pl");
I used a different syntax:
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = null;
try
p= r.exec("c:\\windows\\command.com /c C:\\Perl\\bin\\perl C:\\myPath\\myFile.pl"); (one line)
catch (Exception e)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, "Error!!!!");
and it works well under windows 98!
Good Luck!

Package requiring certain perl modules

I just recently installed UT on my system, and found that the sourceforge project UmodPack is probably the best way to get Umod files installed. Since I'm taking an interest in making packages of software I install if I can't find it in the repos, I wanted to package this up, maybe submit it to AUR too. However, the install requires certain perl modules to be installed from CPAN.
From the INSTALL file:
UmodPack requires/makes use of:
* Perl 5 (required)
* Tie::IxHash (required, for .ini file access)
* Archive::Zip and Compress::Zlib (required, for zip file support)
* Perl/Tk (optional, for the GUI)
UNIX
To install Perl/Tk first use "perl -MCPAN -e shell" to get into the CPAN
shell; and then enter "install Tie::IxHash", "install Data::Dumper",
"install Compress::Zlib", "install Archive::Zip" and then "install Tk".
To install UmodPack change to the directory in which the distribution
files are unpacked. Type "perl Makefile.PL" and then "make install".
I am not sure how to automate this installation of perl modules within a PKGBUILD. Does anyone have an idea as to how I would accomplish it?

For all of the perl modules I need to install, this was sufficient to put in the build{}:
perl Makefile.PL
make || return 1
make PREFIX=$startdir/pkg/usr SITEPREFIX=$startdir/pkg/usr install
An example PKGBUILD:
pkgname=perl-term-animation
pkgver=2.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Module that provides a framework to produce sprite animations using ASCII art."
url="http://search.cpan.org/~kbaucom/Term-Animation-$pkgver/lib/Term/Animation.pm"

Compiler flags for GCCFSS to support POSIX & Solaris threads

My team is working on compiling a custom Perl with support for both POSIX and Solaris threads, and I'm trying to work out the appropriate compiler and linker flags to set for GCCFSS. At present I've come up with:
gcc -mt -lpthread -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L
which expands to:
gcc -D_REENTRANT -lthread -lpthread -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L
According to the [Solaris 9 Multithreaded Programming Guide|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/806-6867/6jfpgdcob?a=view], this should allow for both POSIX and Solaris threads support via POSIX semantics.
Any comments or recommendations on this?
Thanks,
RT.

It sounds about right. The interoperability question may be better posted on the Solaris forum though.
Thanks
