<0> ic] ...............
<0> Sorry.
<0> Any ideas why i keep getting this:
<0> Error in tempfile() using ./XXXXXXXXXX: Parent directory (./) is not writable at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/Pod/Perldoc.pm line 1474
<0> When i call perldoc. Google wasnt of much help.
<1> Perhaps there's a permissions problem or the %temp% path does not exist.



<1> (Or whatever the temp system variable is under unix.)
<1> ahh... perhaps the user does not have root access and perldoc wants to write a temp file to that directory.
<1> Or it could be something completely different
<0> I'm using root >.<
<1> It's obvoisly not a CGI script been run by the internet user access account (or the webserver daemon).
<1> (Which is where I've seen similar module errors caused from.
<0> nope, just plain: perldoc -q [xxx]
<0> manually settingh $TEMP didnt help either :\\
<0> [root@summer root]# export TEMP=/tmp;echo $TEMP
<0> /tmp
<0> line 1474 in Perldoc.pm is: return File::Temp::tempfile(UNLINK => 1);
<1> Does perl have a sleep command?
<2> Darkchanter, i dont think so
<2> call bash command to re-run the script
<2> $null = `some bash here`;
<1> I was really just fishing/guessing for idea's as to what is beind xterm's error report.
<0> noobish question :(
<0> how do i explicitly cast integer data (unicode) to the relevant character :]
<0> ie: (char)97 -> 'a'
<1> hmmm... most languages use # for that.
<1> Let's have a look...



<0> I think i saw somewhere that it could be done using char(97), yet there's no such function in perl
<1> ah... chr()
<0> damn it.
<1> It's in da Camel Book: http://www.india-seo.com/perl/prog/ch03_016.htm#PERL2-CMD-CHR
<0> thanks, where'd you find that
<0> thanksss
<1> I've seen that pack (C thing before too, before the days of cgi.pm
<0> of all the times i've done client-server apps in perl
<0> i've never ever liked using select
<0> IO::Select
<0> yet any resource i read, encourages the use of IO::Select over Threading.
<1> hmmm...
<1> I'd suppose that threading might be the more efficacious option on more modern machines.
<0> The problem is, how many people/systems enable multithreading on perl install.
<1> I always do.
<0> that camel book
<0> is quite nice.
<0> Darkchanter what's a good Windowing toolkit to use with perl
<3> I'm one of those irritating purists who uses a text editor.
<0> as do i
<0> vi all the way.
<0> I was talking about a toolkit similar to Tk.
<3> I havent come across one. Then again I haven't been looking as I use Delphi for most of the stuff that one would use Tk for.
<0> i'm going to need a control panel for my application, i guess i'll stick with Tk,
