Comments:

<0> perlmonkey: I think the main point is that you can call a subroutine at a point, you could create a separate chunk of code with the {} but without a label you won't be able to refer it later..
<1> this is the leap I've been needing then, subroutines are the way forward now
<2> perlmonkey: welcome to procedural programming. soon you will encounter people who tell you about object-oriented programming ;-)
<0> perlmonkey: but I'm pretty new to perl, it's just a common knowledge due to other languages
<1> why do many programs use the defined/label like someSubroutine { }
<1> is it necessary to use lowercase letters for the start of the name?
<3> waiting: and functional programming
<4> perlbot, it makes it easier to have a standard.
<2> and extreme programming ;)
<2> and intuitionistic programming
<3> perlmonkey: no. that's up to you.
<1> :)
<4> it sometimes helps with readability though.
<0> how do I print an array lenght ?
<4> don't name your subs a b c and d.
<5> perlmonkey: It is not needed, and many consider fooBar bad Perl style, and prefer foo_bar instead.



<1> i see
<4> suppaman, print scalar(@array);
<0> Pete_I: thanks
<1> I have a perl book called Perl 5 by Example
<5> perlmonkey: In Perl, it's common to have UPPER_CASE constants, CamelCase packages, and lower_case for everything else.
<1> seems reasonable
<5> In older Perl code, you may see global filehandles without sigil, and they were also written UPPER_CASE.
<5> But modern Perl code has lexical filehandles with $ sigil, and they're typically lower_case.
<1> thats interesting
<6> modern perl is all about lowercase?
<5> unbalancedCamelCase is a sign you're looking at a Java coder :)
<3> Juerd: that works since what version?
<5> sphex: 5.6
<3> ok
<5> sphex: open my $fh, '<', $fn
<7> zamolxes: i usually use HTML::Parser. works with bad code too, but you might've found code that's worse than the code i came across
<3> Juerd: yeah. I guess most hosts have 5.8 by now.
<5> sphex: The professional world doesn't work with "hosts", but with their own machines.
<6> jink: thanks. i'm trying to categorize some websites, and i'm thinking I should ***ign different priorities on specific tags / atributes
<5> People who make money with Perl are generally limited by company policies, not hosting providers.
<7> for tag counting, HTML::Parser works well
<0> Petebye
<0> lol
<3> Juerd: yeah, PHP took the rest. :p
<0> just "bye"
<5> sphex: That's a good thing.
<5> Hehe
<8> mmmm, PHP.
<1> perl is infinitely superior
<5> sphex: With all the PHP-minded people gone, you have no idea how much that improved the level of competence among people who ask questions on IRC.
<1> i used php initially
<9> hi
<5> And PHP is, of course, a nice introduction to ugly code, after which Perl is acceptable practice.
<10> hello. is it possible given a filename to read all lines from the file into an array using a single line of perl?
<1> :-)
<5> Few people start with Ruby and then go to Perl. Perl's too ugly for them to handle.
<5> datrus: Yes. Do you have to pay for each line, or...?
<9> if($ret=$self->foo) { return $ret } # if foo() return Apache::Const::OK, why isn't it evaluated true?
<5> datrus: Perl itself doesn't care if you write something in one line, or fifteen.
<10> Juerd: i mean one statement
<1> I want to start work on a perl program to analyse commodities
<5> janhaa: Are you sure it returned that?
<3> Juerd: but some of us still have to do web monkey work. I kinda miss having Perl as the standard for that. :/
<9> Juerd, 99.99% ...
<9> Juerd, i can't see what else it could return...
<5> datrus: http://tnx.nl/File::Slurp
<5> janhaa: Do you have warnings enabled?
<9> Juerd, warnings and strict (always :))
<11> perlmonkey: it's not the best language for that ;)
<1> why
<11> depending on what you want to do exactly, i guess.
<9> Juerd, ! it seems like Apache2::Const::OK is 0 ...
<9> sorry.
<9> i thought it was 200 :/
<9> Error message: P***word must be longer than four characters # is this a good error message? :/
<12> hi - i have some troubles with Net::Daemon::SSL - after client connects, it sigsegv - my $daemon = new SyncDaemon ({'proto' => 'tcp', 'localport' => 5439, 'Listen' => 1, 'pidfile' => 'none', SSL_use_cert => 1, SSL_verify_mode => 0, SSL_key_file => 'sync.key', SSL_cert_file => 'sync.crt' }, \@ARGV);
<12> any ideas ?
<1> the markets are heading for financial meltdown
<3> oh noes! LET'S RAID THE TOYS'R'US'S while it's still time!
<1> hehe
<1> Vodafone is going to colapse



<1> the US dollar is losing its place in the world
<1> times r a changing
<13> The U.S. is losing its place in the world and doing what every empire does when it nears its collapse
<1> what is the empire doing?
<1> war?
<1> conquest of new terrorities
<3> that kinda ****s. I get payments from the states... and now it's almost worth the same in CAD. it used to be 1.6. now it's 1.07 DAMMIT, can't you do better than that FFS?
<13> Making an *** of itself, war being one manifestation thereof
<1> theres a time of change and economic shifting taking place
<1> we live in uncertain times
<3> avar: and don't forget women gaining more power. that's a good sign of an empire's fall.
<1> US consumer confidence is very low
<1> yes
<3> avar: it happened in Rome, too.
<1> Al Gore is on a mission
<4> maybe it'll be different this time
<1> the US will either emerge stronger and more independent, or will continue to decline
<3> alright. OK. that's clear now.
<1> Al Gore, the president who never was
<9> i'm writing an external config-file to my mod_perl application - would it be a better idea to embed the config inside the apache config ?
<14> depends on the role
<5> Woooh
<5> I already browsed through it a little, and hate that I have work to do first :)
<9> Supaplex, my module can't run without the config...
<1> Juerd: a book?
<14> the config can be anywhere, as long as it knows where and how to get it.
<14> it's really up to you.
<9> Supaplex :)
<1> my lungs are filling up with some kind of goo
<5> perlmonkey: Yes
<5> perlmonkey: In the O'Reilly Hacks Series.
<1> cool
<1> too much dust or something, maybe I should clean a little
<1> cleaning just takes up valuable programming time tho
<1> woohoo
<1> sheesh I'm stuck
<15> foreach my $key (sort {$a <=> $b} values %h) -- how can I get hash key?
<16> lol
<5> ml666: Your code is wrong
<9> help keys ? :)
<1> I need to do 3 db queries, I want to use one call for each query to one subroutine for the database query code which dynamically changes for each call
<5> Well, not technically, but you are stuffing a *value* in a variable called *$key*. Something tells me that's not supposed to happen :)
<5> ml666: Do you want to get the keys, but sorted by their values?
<17> ml666, you want keys %h, and compare the values in the hash in the comparison block.
<15> I want get key from hash "sorted" by value
<1> how to make each request to the subroutine?
<16> ml666: for my $key (sort {$h{$a} <=> $h{$b}} keys %h){}
<5> ml666: sort { $h{$a} <=> $h{$b} } keys %h
<16> I win
<16> :P
<5> dec: My code is better formatted.
<11> perlmonkey: p*** it a string?
<5> In Perl 6 it'd just be: %h.sort:{.key}
<16> Juerd - because you have more spaces? some would differ.
<1> jpeg: how do you p*** it tho?
<11> foo($scalar)
<5> Eh, no
<5> In Perl 6 it'd just be: %h.sort:{.value}
<1> phew
<5> And they you get a list of pairs
<1> jpeg: how does it link to the subroutine tho?
<5> If you badly need only the keys, %h.sort:{.value}>>.key or map { .key }, %h.sort:{.value}
<5> But to want that makes little sense.
<11> perlmonkey: uh... 'link'?
<17> %h.keys.sort:{ %h<$_> }
<5> wolverian: No
<5> wolverian: That's %h{'$_'}
<1> jpeg: how do you push/send the string to the subroutine where the db query code resides
<17> agh, yeah.
<5> wolverian: Don't over-use <>.
