Problem calling two perl modules from java in seperate threads(JVM CRASHES)

Dear Friends,
I have one severe problem regarding calling perl modules from java
I had to call two perl modules simultaneously (i.e.) from two threads,,, but jvm crashes when one of the perl calls is exiting earlier
I am unable to spot out why ....
For calling perl from java ...., We are first calling C code from java using JNI and then Perl code from C
All works fine if we call only one perl call at a time.... If we call them in a synchronized manner the JVM is not crashing .... But we don't want blocking..
The following is the code snippet
<JAVA FILE>
class Sample
     static {
          System.loadLibrary("xyz"); // Here xyz is the library file generated by compiling c code
     public native void call_PrintList();
     public native void call_PrintListNew();
     Sample()
          new Thread1(this).start();
     public static void main(String args[])
          System.out.println("In the main Method");
          new Sample().call_PrintList();
     class Thread1 extends Thread

ITunes cannot read ID3 tags written by Perl module MP3::Tag?

Greetings,
Just trying to re-arrange ID3 information in a large set of MP3 files. Before I run the following Perl script, iTunes can read the ID3 tagging information. After writing ID3 inform ation to the MP3, iTunes no longer reads any tagging information from the MP3.
Does anyone have any information regarding this? There is some cryptic information in the MP3::Tag POD regarding setting the "id3v23_unsync" option but that doesn't seem to alter the impact on iTunes at all. Windows and other tag readers seem to be able to read the all ID 3v1 and ID3v2 tags just fine (including the altered fields) after running the following script.
Thanks for any suggestions/guidance anyone can provide.
Description: the following program takes an MP3 filename as input.
Action: It appends the value in the Album field to front of the TITLE Field. That's it! Easy!
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use MP3::Tag;
MP3::Tag-> config(id3v23_unsync=>FALSE);
my $filename = $ARGV[0];
$mp3 = MP3::Tag-> new($filename);
@info=$mp3-> autoinfo;
@albnum = split(/_/, $info[3]);
$frame = $mp3-> {ID3v2}->get_frame("TIT2");
print $frame;
$mp3-> {ID3v1}->title("$albnum[0] $info[0]");
$mp3-> {ID3v2}->change_frame("TIT2","$albnum[0] $info[0]");
$mp3-> {ID3v1}->write_tag();
$mp3-> {ID3v2}->write_tag();
@info=$mp3-> autoinfo;
print $info[0]; //print ID3v1 TITLE field
$frame = $mp3-> {ID3v2}->get_frame("TIT2");
print $frame; //print ID3v2 Title2 field
$mp3-> close();
Thanks!

SOLVED
Changing the config entry (Line 3 in original listing) to:
MP3::Tag->config("id3v23_unsync",0);
fixed the problem with iTunes.
NOTE: This means that iTunes version 7.x still has the synchronization problem alluded to in the documentation (POD) for this Perl module. I just had the syntax wrong to set the workaround parameter.
That aside, iTunes 7.2 works quite nicely with the modified MP3. Artwork (even though this was a modified and obscure (and legal) Bible audio, it found additional information about the MP3 in the online database).

make: *** [blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so] Error 1I am sure that installing a previous(older) version of oracle client will fix this issue i.e. either 11.2.0.1 or older (that is tested) but I want to know if it is possible to resolve the above issue with a work around and not having to install a previous version.
Fyi.. I've tried to install DBD::Oracle version 1.24 and 1.50 but that doesn't seem to make any difference. I couldn't find any related thread either for this error so I desperately need a solution to the same(if any).
If anyone can help here, would really appreciate it or else, I will have no choice but to install previous version of oracle client.
Thanks

Perl modules are being installed to the wrong root directory

This is kind of a package, kind of an AUR question. I don't think it is the usual "upgrade to perl-5.20" issue; I've done lots of searching with no obvious mention of my issue.
I have downloaded the PKGBUILDs for perl-tk (in extra) and perl-pdl (in AUR). When I run makepkg on them, the resultant package has the wrong root directory. For example, perl-pdl tries to install into
/home/<username>/perl5/bin/
rather than
/usr/bin
and the libraries want to go into
/home/<username>/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/PDL
rather than something like
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/PDL
I don't think I'm doing anything unusual with the build. For perl-pdl, I download the tarball from the AUR and untar it in ~/tmp. Cd to ~/tmp/perl-pdl and then run makepkg. The start of the build process says:

It seems like the $pkgdir variable is screwed up, but non-perl AUR packages have installed just fine. Any pointers? Thanks.

As usual I am probably too late to help. If you have local::lib installed and activated, it will override your destination directory when building packages. This is accomplished by setting environment variables. Joel hinted at this and you've seemed to fix them. Here is a decent list of them, mostly written by me I believe: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pe … _variables
I've made tools that generate PKGBUILDs for perl modules and I always try to override these environment variables for just such an occasion. Entirely too much info on the subject is available at the wiki page above. Very few official PKGBUILDs will override these. Only the packages I used to maintain which retain my PKGBUILD will work for you. So... beware.

How to remove/uninstall custom installed perl modules?

Hello all.
Yesterday I upgraded from 10.3.7 to 10.4.5, then started to reinstall a bundle of perl modules (via the Terminal and 'perl Makefile.PL -- make -- make test -- [sudo] make install').
As I saw too late, some of those modules I installed are now part of the standard OS X installation -- now some perl modules are twice on my machine, the 'originals' (so to say) in '/System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/...', and the 're-installed' are -- as usually -- in '/Library/Perl/5.8.6/...'.
My questions:
(1) Can these duplicates do any harm while executing perl code?
(2) Is there an easy way to get rid of the duplicates (e.g., move the associated files in '/Library/Perl/5.8.6/...' to the trash)?
Fortunately I have saved the terminal output of every installation, so it should be easy to find everything that was changed.
Any advice is appreciated -- thanks in advance.

Perl has a list of paths it searches when it needs to find a given module, similar to how the shell uses the PATH variable. If the things you installed are in a directory after that which contains Apple's official stuff, your stuff is invisible. Check the section labeled "@INC" in the output of 'perl -V'...that list is searched top-to-bottom.
If what you installed is ahead of Apple's but what you installed is at least as high a version number as Apple's, again no problem in general. The modules Apple supplies have genereally quite stable API, so there's no problem if a program expects Appl'es but gets yours instead. OTOH, if you have a lower version, there could be trouble, since things may rely on the features only present in new versions (something for a certain OS X would reasonably assume "the stuff that came with that OS X" as a minimum).
Anything you installed manually you can remove manually as well, using "rm" or dragging stuff to the trash. Modules often install a .packlist file somewhere in $arch/auto/ in your perl lib dir.
I think you can often do '[sudo] make uninstall UNINST=1' to uninstall, assuming you kept the original builds or feel like redoing 'perl Makefile.PL' in the exact same version of the modules you installed. However, the 'uninstall' target is generally frowned upon by perl folks.

Perl module not working/installed properly

I have a perl script that worked fine on Ubuntu. I've now replaced Ubuntu with Arch and installed the perl modules I need to run this script and one of them doesn't seem to be working properly, I think I had a hiccup during installation of this particular module. Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to fix this please.
This is the output of my script falling over:
[me@arch ~]$ perl -e 'use MP4::Info;'
Can't locate IO/String.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl .) at /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/MP4/Info.pm line 16.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/MP4/Info.pm line 16.
Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
The 'MP4::Info' module "appears" to be installed ok though, as shown thusly:
[me@arch ~]$ cpan
Terminal does not support AddHistory.
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9600)
Enter 'h' for help.

Going to read '/home/wayne/.cpan/Metadata'
Database was generated on Fri, 23 Sep 2011 01:50:05 GMT
MP4::Info is up to date (1.13).
cpan[2]>
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

For some reason IO::String was not installed. Try installing it from the cpan shell.

Calling Perl module in Java

Hai,
I like to know, How do I call a perl module from my java program such that the
output of the perl module is used in my Java program ?
Regards
ackumar

This is my sample perl program.
#!/usr/bin/perl
        $s=hello();
        print "$s\n";
        sub hello{
                return "HELLO WORLD"
        }I like to use the perl program in my java program. So I wrote the following code.
But I don't know how to get the output "HELLO WORLD" of my sample.pl by running my code
perl_java. java
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
class perl_java{
        public static void main(String args[]){
                try{
                Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("perl sample.pl");
                OutputStream os=p.getOutputStream();
                }catch(Exception ee){ee.printStackTrace();}
}

Uninstall all CPAN-installed Perl modules

A while back, there was a large perl upgrade which required rebuilding of manually-installed Perl modules. At the time, I did not take much of any action as I did not use any applications which depended on CPAN-installed modules -- all I did was to uninstall some older Perl apps which I no longer used.
Unfortunately, that has recently changed.
Though I know exactly which modules I need to have on my system when all is said and done, I have no idea how to uninstall all of the old ones which came from the CPAN shell. Does anyone know how to do so?

rowdog wrote:
Well, modules are just files so, if you're lucky, the easy way is to find the directory where the modules were installed and delete them.
If you're unlucky, you've intermingled CPAN modules with those installed by Arch. If that's the case, you might be able to delete each module by hand but you need to be careful not to wipe out Arch's modules. This is slow and hazardous work so please be careful.
My guess would be that the files are installed in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl, because mine's empty and that's what it's for. The exact location is controlled by whatever you used to install the modules. (cpan probably, but there are others.)
If you're really lucky, you can get away with
cd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
rm -rf .
Yes, I do have such bad luck. I have used the CPAN.pm shell, the AUR, and pacman to install Perl modules. I shall do more research regarding exactly what goes where during a CPAN.pm-based install. I am not at my own computer so I cannot do all of this now. I will get back to you on this tomorrow. Thank you for your response.

I understand that this means a Perl module is missing (I guess it's not installed, it's probably not installed but absent from the path). How would I go about installing it?
And why is it talking about compilation on the last line?
Thanks.

$ locate Symbol.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/current/Symbol.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/current/i686-linux-thread-multi/Encode/Symbol.pm
$pacman -Qo /usr/lib/perl5/current/Symbol.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/current/Symbol.pm is owned by perl 5.8.8-5
Symbol.pm is a core perl module and should be installed. Try:
# updatedb && locate Symbol.pm
This will tell you if Symbol.pm is installed. If it isn't, I guess you could try reinstalling perl.

Perl module install noob question - Solved

hello everybody,
i've been away from the *nix world for some time now, and there are some things i remember better than others.
atm i am trying to install perl-term-readline, as it is a dependency for the metasploit framework - although i am surprised that package isn't already installed, as it belongs to the core modules group (that means the module should come with every perl install) if i recall correctly.
This is what i have tried so far (i read some perl wiki page and this is what came up):
[root@Omega /]# pacman -S -f perl-term-readline
perl-term-readline: not found in sync db
where do i have to look for that module?

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I figured it out. I discovered that the developer tools weren't installed by default on the Darwin OS. I downloaded them from the Apple site, installed the dmg file and then installed the required Perl modules and then it worked beautifully.
The problem was that the modules couldn't make properly when being installed.

Location of perl module?

howdy guys,
I'm installing insipid (a delicious clone) on my local webserver to try.
It's pretty straight forward, but needs a bunch of "extra" perl modules, most of which I used pacman to fetch. Except at least one. I get this error:
insipid wrote:Couldn't find the module "XML/Writer.pm"
what package contains Writer.pm?

scrawler wrote:thanks. Still, if Writer.pm is already in an arch package, I would prefer to install it that way.
This seems to be a bit late for you, but it's in the AUR here.
Re the general topic of perl modules, I prefer to install everything I can with pacman, and with perl I've succeeded so far, either from the official repos, the AUR, or my own PKGBUILDs. If I ever find myself needing 100s of the things, though, I might have to go with the cpan stuff.

Calling a perl module

Is the best way to call a perl module to use JNI or just use exec? I haven't seen any examples of calling Perl via JNI nor was I able to get any of the JPL (Java Perl Library) stuff to compile on my machine. Thanks!

Invoking Perl module from Apex

I am developing an application using Apex that needs to be integrated with some other modules written in different languages.
In my application I need to invoke a perl module/API based on some button action.
Please suggest me the ways how I can do this.
The perl module is already existing one and now we can not change it to Java program.

Hello,
Whilst it's possibly to 'call out' to an external Perl module, I think you're actually probably making things more complicated by going that route.
As an alternative, why not have the Perl code actually connect to the Oracle database and check for the data changing itself?
If you do want to perform the external call yourself, then the following AskTom thread should give you some ideas on how to do it -
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:9608971842817866565::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:952229840241
There's actually some other options, you could actually connect to the other databases directly from the Oracle DB (using dblinks, hetrogenous connectivity etc), or you could convert the Perl module (or wrap it) so that it's callable via a URL in which case you could then perform an HTTP call from out of the database using utl_http.
It really depends on the specifics of what your perl module does, what sort of processing etc.
