I have copied a CGI script <cwdmail.cgi> into

This is not a problem/question with/about perl, but one that I think can be
solved *with* perl in macosx. Please forgive it's off-topicness:
Internet Connection in Panther 10.3.2 sometimes hangs forever in its
"Disconnecting..." status. I have not been able to find a reason nor a ...

Mac OS X Perl List,
Regarding DBD-mysql and DBI on Mac OS X SERVER-- this is my success
story after a many days of research and attempts to get it all
compiled.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the screen resolution by using
Perl or even an Unix command?  I know Unix can search a .plist file to
get this information, but I'm wondering if it might have a simple

In my efforts to get Perl5.8.3 all set up I tried
installing Mac::Carbon via the CPAN shell. But it just

I use iBook with Panther (shell: tcsh), I downloaded Tk804.025 beta 14

So I finally made the switch from MacPerl to Perl
5.8.3 on OSX (10.2.8) and I can't seem to get things
working quite right. I'm having problems using
modules.

I just installed Perl 5.8.3 per the instructions on
<http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/perl.html>.
They worked as advertised up until the end when I
type:

Dear Perl-on-Mac OS X List,
Using OS X Server 10.2.8, Upgraded to 10.3 Server
Since I upgraded to 10.3 I have not been able to get Perl to work.
Although I think perhaps the Perl is working from the 10.3 install, I

I'm working on a linguistic module and I'm trying to
find a good way to split a string up into "segments".
I can't assume single charecter strings and want to
assume maximal segments. As an example, the word

I'm converting a PHP script to perl so I can run it on the command line
in Panther. The following sub routine is a cut down example of what one
I'm using. It gets called once, passing the name of a directory. It is
meant to recursively call itself for each directory it finds, so ...

Installing the dev tools has done horrible things to
my computer. The drive says it has 80MB or so left,
but most every program I run complains about the disk
being full and won't run; including trying to burn CDs
