How can one set the perl tk topLevel window over the MainWindow always?

By this, I mean that one can click around on the MainWindow, but the focus remains on the topLevel window.

Web space with password protection and perl scripting options?

I'm just basically looking for a website that offeres webspace that allows for password protection so that only people who know the password can access the website, along with the ability to use perl scripts. Anyone know of anything?

Web space with password protection and perl scripting options?
Yahoo's hosting service comes close. You can password protect the site, and you can use PHP. PHP is very similar to Perl, shares most of the commands.
Reply:www.sdhinternet.co.uk can provide you with all you need, mail admin@sdhinternet.co.uk or visit the site. The will also offer support with building your site as well

How do i make my perl scripts private?

on other systems a cgi-bin directory can be created to host the perl files where the contents of the scripts is not visible to the public. Yahoo instructs one to place the .pl files anywhere in my work area. this is a problem for me because my scripts may contain private information

How do i make my perl scripts private?
The chmod above answer does secure the files, but that's probably not what you really want. Unless you really want to have .pl files in your work area that no one can access or execute...





I'm guessing that you expect the .pl script to actually be executable by the web server as a cgi script? If so, it must be executable and readable by the server. Securing the file will just make it unusable in this case. In theory if the server is configured correctly, it will never serve the source code of the .pl file but always execute. This can sometimes fail resulting in the source code being delivered to the end-user's browser. This would reveal the private info you mentioned.





A better solution is to not keep sensitive data in the perl script. Always have the perl script open, read and close a file elsewhere on the web server's filesystem. This "elsewhere" should be in an area that the web server is prohibited from serving, but that a cgi script can read. In this scenario, if the code were ever delivered as text, the end-user could deduce where you keep the sensitive data. However would not be able to access this data with just web requests.
Reply:I've never done anything like that with Yahoo. Just a random attempt here -- what happens when you begin the file name with a dot?
Reply:Change the mode of the file like so:





chmod 600 filename.pl





Now only the owner can read, write the file.





The chmod commands can be a bit confusing. But it is easy, if you remember the following:





read access: 4 points


write access: 2 points


execute access: 1 point





First place number: owner


Second place number: group


Third place number: anyone





ex: chmod 777 filename


(Extreamly unsecure: anyone can read, write and execute the file)





ex: chmod 644 filename


(Standard: owner can read,write, anyone can read)





That's it!

How to test CGI/perl script in windos, without puting it in web server?

I just want to see my work in windows beofre uploading it in webserver, and also if you got any sites which provide perl/cgi script do tell me,


thanks

How to test CGI/perl script in windos, without puting it in web server?
You need to be running a server locally, i.e. on the machine that you are trying to test on. Not sure about Windows, but on Linux I use Apache for testing php in this way, and it works just fine.

What is the best hosting service that support PHP and Perl?

I need a server host which has Windows Apache server enviroment that support PHP and MySQL, and it will be good if Perl can be used. I need a huge disk space like 200 GB. I dont need those rubhish site builder.





any good plan?


thanks in advance.

What is the best hosting service that support PHP and Perl?
I'm glad you don't want the site builder crap! but why the windows req? Apache is Apache.... linux should be easier to find!





You didn't say how much you could spend.. anywhere from free to 50 bucks... but you get what you pay for!





I use http://verio.com and they're always up and available!








UPDATE:


if you are writing the site for an oppressed minority or a liberal political site, I can recommend a free service! Drop me a note!

.PHP, .ASP, .XML, PERL, CGI, javascript ... Where do I start and is it necessary to know them all?

I already know HTML. I know flash and understand actionscript, but could not make anything fancy without any tutorials at the moment. I have used XML in my flash slideshow I made once. there are all these other languages, as far as I know, CGI and ASP and PERL do basically the same thing.. so which should I learn.. do i need to know them all... what is PHP? aghh... I need help =( I also want to learn C++. Object oriented whatever that means ( i know u can make games in it). Is flash object oriented too? AGHHH


my school doesnt even teach any programming. Blah. where can I learn it without wastin all my cash. im poor. GAH.

.PHP, .ASP, .XML, PERL, CGI, javascript ... Where do I start and is it necessary to know them all?
"CGI and ASP and PERL do basically the same thing."


Not quite. CGI is a standard of sorts, that allows programs to be run by webservers. You can have CGI used by any programming language that supports it: Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, even C++ if you do some exotic programming.





ASP (I'll talk about ASP.NET actually) is really a platform for writing dynamic websites/web applications. Complex websites have their HTML autogenerated, and you can use ASP (typically by using a .NET language like C# or VB.NET) for a programming language.





Perl is a general purpose language. It's extremely useful for text manipulations, but because it is basically a very powerful and vast language. That makes it suitable for everything from basic scripts to whole web applications. You typically use Perl for web applications as a CGI script or with mod_perl (for Apache webservers). Perl is comparable to C# in that they are programming languages.





"what is PHP?"


Another server side programming language. Unlike C#, or Perl, it is not intended to be used outside of web programming. It's very popular especially because it is both free and has a very low barrier of entry.





"do i need to know them all"


No. You need *a* server side language to write web applications. Note my use of the singular in language. You may use more than one in very powerful/commercial programs, but to start with you can rely on just one.





"so which should I learn."


Take a good stock of web programming languages. You get PHP, Java, ASP.NET (C#, VB.NET), Perl, Python, and Ruby. I recommend Python or Ruby because they are high level languages, are general purpose languages, are mainstream, and have a low barrier to entry. PHP comes next as my recommendation, or perhaps C#/ASP.NET.





"I also want to learn C++"


C++ is a general purpose programming language. It's more suitable for lower level/systems programming tasks. It's very powerful, and it can be used to write everything from operating systems to a webserver or modules for a webserver. It's used to write quite a bit of programs used on your computers. It's a compact language, but very difficult to master.





"Object oriented whatever that means ( i know u can make games in it)"


Object oriented just reflects a programming paradigm. It's no magic bullet or one size fits all solution.





"Is flash object oriented too?"


I don't recall, but I think it is to some extent. Do you have the notion of classes and objects (I think you do)? Then you have the ideas of object oriented programming.





"Blah. where can I learn it without wastin all my cash"


Google. Please.





If you're going for C++, get a book from ACCU's review list (http://accu.org/index.php/book_reviews?u... ). I recommend C++ Primer by Stanley Lippman or Accelerated C++ by Koenig.





If you're going for Python: http://python.org/ . Really spend some time there, as they have quite a bit of documentation and resources.





PHP: http://php.net/





Google for the other programming languages...
Reply:HTML(which you know) and XML is a must, then I would recommend learning either or of ASP or PHP, My preference being PHP. JS would defiantly be a nice plus, but its not as needed as the rest for web dev.





C++ is not flash based, and a great codding language to learn. Some people prefer Visual Basic .NET, but I would go with C++ Myself.





A great place to learn all kinds of different computer languages is at http://w3schools.com





Edit: -Oh, I would also learn how to create and use CSS stylesheets if you don't already know.
Reply:http://www.w3schools.com





Here is a good place to start. I tend to download open source web applications such as PHP-Nuke, osCommerce, or any scripted application. Try backwards engineering the programs. Be aware that there is a lot of trial and error. You will love your undo button when attempting to "teach" yourself any scripting language.





PHP-Nuke - http://www.phpnuke.org


osCommerce - http://www.oscommerce.com

Reply:I've got good news for you: you won't need ANY money to learn! The net has so many tutorials and free resources these days that you should get by fine without spending any cash.





You don't need to learn all of the languages you mentioned- although I guess it depends on what you want out of it. In my opinion it's better to know a lot about one language than a little about many, to start with at least. Then once you know a language like the back of your hand it's generally pretty easy and quicker to learn others.





I'm not really an expert but from what I gather the best technologies to get into right now are Java and .NET (money-wise at least), but if you're just starting out then I recommend having a go with PHP (can still be pretty well paid)- it's pretty simple to use and very powerful, and there are thousands of tutorials and free scripts on the net because it's become so popular.





You won't even need a website to test your scripts if you set up your computer with the right software. If you go for PHP, a good package to use is WAMP (www.wampserver.com). This will install all the things you'll need to run PHP scripts locally on your PC. There's also a version for the Mac call MAMP.





(that reminds me, you really should look into learning a database language too- mysql is very good and free, and is also included with WAMP and MAMP)





As far as Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) goes, it's just a method of coding that is seen as very efficient to maintain. PHP5 is fully OOP capable so you'd do good to learn this way of programming, especially if you intend to move over to Java which requires it.





I hope that's of some help to you.

There any perl scripts that would automatically post a reply on an IPB when it approaches a set thread count?

I'm always on an Invision Power Board v2.0.4 every day that holds (Post-Count Contests.) An example would be; The 250th post on this thread wins a New 120g harddrive for free. Anyways, it seems like a really easy script, a program that would first index the particular loaded Power Board thread, Keep refreshing it every 5-10 seconds until the total post count is within 5 posts from the "set post count", and when the program reads it's within 5, it then automaticly posts a "set amount of posts" as quick as possible. I'd love to have the source code or program. If you have any answers... I'd love to know if you could do this programming. Sounds like a simple perl script to me.

There any perl scripts that would automatically post a reply on an IPB when it approaches a set thread count?
You'd have to scrape the page to find the post count for that thread, which won't be incredibly reliable, but it would work.





You might could get away with this for a short period of time, but when they see 17000 hits in one day from a single IP address, they are going to get you. Especially if it works one time and then they can link your IP address to your shipping address (from when they sent you the free hard drive).





I won't write it for you, but if you want to write it some useful PHP functions (perl has similar functions) will be:





file_get_contents()


strip_tags()


explode()


substr()


strpos()





Have fun, but ye be warned!
