Doing some Unicode research I'm finding several different ways to generate Unicode characters:

```perl binmode(STDOUT, ":utf8");

my $thumbs_up = "";

$thumbs_up = "\x{1F44D}"; $thumbs_up = "\N{U+1F44D}"; $thumbs_up = chr(0x1F44D); $thumbs_up = pack("U", 0x1F44D);

print $thumbs_up x 2 . "\n"; ```

What is that \x syntax? I tried looking it up on Perldoc and couldn't find anything. Is the \N specific for Unicode?

Bit of a weird question:
I am working on a save game editor for an old game that nobody cares about, and I have to run a Perl script as part of it.
I have been trying to convert the logic of the script to C#, which I am writing the application itself in, but due to differences in how Perl and C# handle bytes, this is proving impossible for me to figure out with my limited skill set. If anyone would like to workshop this issue, I would welcome the help.

Anyway, my question: Since I need to include the script with my application, the user needs a way to run it. I would like to avoid having the user install Perl themselves, as that would just be another step I'd have to troubleshoot every time someone had a problem.
So would it be legal for me to include Strawberry Perl in its portable form with my application?
From quick googling, I think it would, but I don't want to risk anything.

Thank you for your help.

Now that the CPAN module sealed.pm has stabilized at v7 after a year of solid real world live mod_perl 2 + ithread hosting , I think it's time to step back and ask exactly *why* this feature - first offered to p5p in 2001 by Doug MacEachern, wasn't ever incorporated into the core feature set of the language. For background, see

https://iconoclasts.blog/joe/perl7-sealed-lexicals

Instead of "it" being a technical issue at stake, it seems clear that the reason Doug's patch was rejected was more of a social problem. The Language Design Weenies in the Damian Conway Personality Cult at the time didn't *want* this feature, since only Dylan had it, and Python was never going to get it. So it was rejected outright.

Sadly, that attitude still is pervasive in the upper echelons of the community, but I think the community is better served by breaking out this functionality into a subroutine attribute that only operates on typed lexicals, which otherwise serve no useful purpose.

What do you think? Have you tried sealed.pm out in your codebase yet?

Hello everyone! First, let me start off by saying I am no Linux guru and I am definitely no Perl expert, so I apologize if these are dumb questions or if I don't provide enough information... Let me preface this post with a little backstory!

I want to test Request Tracker for my IT team to use. It looks promising and it looks like what we need. That being said, this install has been an absolute nightmare. The guides are very hit and miss, the other walkthroughs that I've been able to google have only been partially accurate... It's been a very frustrating time. I know, most people would have walked away from it at this point, but I'm stubborn and now I'm determined to make it work - even if we don't go forward using it. I HAVE been able to piece together a complete walk through, which is nice, and it gives me the base install. In order to get what I feel like I need to make this work for my environment, I need to have a few of their add-ins installed, and that's where my trouble comes in...

Example - Here is an example of what I'm trying to get installed. Initially, when I ran the perl Makefile.PL command, I got the error listed in the title. After digging for a few days, I was able to find this on another post in the RT forums:

$ sudo apt-get install libgd-dev libgraphviz-dev graphviz autoconf apache2 libapache2-mod-fcgid slapd ldap-utils expat openssl libssl-dev # Install standalone Perl for RT $ wget http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.26.3.tar.gz $ tar -xzf perl-5.26.3.tar.gz $ cd perl-5.26.3 $ sudo ./Configure -des -Dprefix=/opt/perl5 $ sudo make $ sudo make test $ sudo make install # Use new Perl install: $ export PATH=/opt/perl5/bin:$PATH $ which Perl # Install Meta CPAN $ wget https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/M/MI/MIYAGAWA/App-cpanminus-1.7044.tar.gz $ /opt/perl5/bin/perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make test $ sudo make install # Tell RT to use metacpan $ export RT_FIX_DEPS_CMD='/opt/perl5/bin/cpanm --sudo --notest' # Configure RT $ ./configure --enable-gd --enable-graphviz 

# CD into App-cpanminus-1.7044.tar.gz $ cd App-cpanminus-1.7044.tar.gz # Run perl Makefile.PL $ perl Makefile.PL 

would resolve that? Or am I mistaken?

I can run the perl Makefile.PL in the above directory, but then to continue the steps for the add-in (Example link from above), when I get to the make initdb command, I get a totally different error:
make: *** No rule to make target \initialize-database’.? Stop.`

Which completely stops me again... which is why I'm hoping if I can get the initial error resolved, the rest of this will work like it should. There are about a dozen add-ins that I'd like to add, but if I can't get past any of this, then it's a moot point. I know I should give up and look for something else, but my company is in the middle of a divestiture, and I need something to help cover my US sites until we are completely integrated into the new parent company.

Thank you in advance for any advice or suggestions!

Hi! Asking for a wisdom here...

We have a module that modifies signal handler $SIG{__DIE__} to log information and to die afterwards. Hundreds of scripts relied on this module which worked fine in perl 5.10.1.

Recently we had the opportunity to install several Perl versions but unfortunately a large number of scripts that used to work with Perl 5.10.1 now behave differently:

• Failed in 5.14.4: /home/dev/perl-5.14.4/bin/perl -wc test.pl RECEIVED SIGNAL - S_IFFIFO is not a valid Fcntl macro at /home/dev/perl-5.14.4/lib/5.14.4/File/stat.pm line 41
• Worked without changes in 5.26.3: /home/dev/perl-5.26.3/bin/perl -wc test.pl test.pl syntax OK
• Worked without changes in 5.38.2: /home/dev/perl-5.38.2/bin/perl -wc test.pl test.pl syntax OK

Many of the scripts can only be updated to 5.14.4 due to the huge jumps between 5.10 and 3.58; But we are stuck on that failures.

Was there an internal Perl change in 5.14 which cause the failures but works on other recent versions without any update on the scripts?

Cheerio!

My environment is perl/5.18.2 on CentOs 7

I'm trying to use a SWIG generated module in perl, which has a c plus plus backend. The backend.cpp sets an environment variable, $MY_ENV_VAR =1

But when I try to access this in perl, using $ENV{MY_ENV_VAR} this is undef.

However doing something like print echo $MY_ENV_VAR works

So the variable is set in the process, but it's not reflected automatically since nothing updates the $ENV data structure.

I'm assuming it may work using some getEnv like mechanism, but is there a way to reset/ refresh the $ENV that it rebuilds itself from the current environment?

Im working on a script to test using a jump server to reach remote devices.

I'm able to connect to the jump server using Net::SSH::Expect, however, I'm not sure how to then ssh to a remote device (network element).

Is there a way to create that ssh to the remote device inside the jump server's connection?

First things first, I am a data engineer but have little experience in Perl. I've been able to make some easy updates to scripts in the past but this one is a bit tougher.

I have been asked to update a Perl cgi web app that someone wrote ages ago that is used to view and manipulate text files. Currently it is hosted on server (X) and manipulates the files on that same server. However, we have to have backups/mirrors of the data on a dev server and another prod sever (Y). I.e., if I push the button to move the file to a different folder, it should do that on all three servers instead of just X. I added code to do this, referencing the additional servers with their UNC names, but I just get an error "No such file or directory" (which is not true). Googling has suggested that there may be an issue with permissions, but I can bring up the Y and DEV servers from a windows file explorer using the same path so I don't think that is necessarily the issue.

Example: Here we are trying to copy the file with a letter appended a given number of times. It works fine on the X server, its when trying to make it also work on the Y and DEV servers I get an error.

our $DIR_X = "\\\\serverX\\folder\\subfolder" ; our $DIR_Y = "\\\\serverY\\folder\\subfolder"; our $DIR_DEV = "\\\\serverDEV\\folder\\subfolder"; . . . }elsif ($query->param('action') eq 'split' && $query->param('fileNum') ne "") { my $fileNum $query->param('fileNum'); my $fileX=$DIR_X . "\\" . $fileNum . ".txt"; my $fileY $DIR_Y . "\\" . $fileNum . ".txt"; my $fileDEV = $DIR_DEV . "\\" . $fileNum . ".txt"; my $splitNbr = $query->param('splitNbr'); my @letters1("a".. "z"); for (my $i = 0; $i < $splitNbr; $i++) { my $FileNew_X = $DIR_X . "\\" $fileNum. $letters[$i]=.txt"; my $FileNew_Y = $DIR_Y . "\\" $fileNum. $letters[$i]=.txt"; my $FileNew_DEV = $DIR_DEV . "\\" $fileNum. $letters[$i]=.txt"; copy($fileX, $FileNew_X) or die "WARNING: copy failed: $!\n"; ---->>>>>ERROR AT NEXT LINE copy($fileY, $FileNew_Y) or die "WARNING: copy failed: $!\n"; copy($fileDEV, $FileNew_DEV) or die "WARNING: copy failed: $!\n"; }
