My site got exploited the other week. I had a backup of my WordPress domain, so after importing the backup, most of the infected files were gone. However, some files outside the public_html folder were infected. I deleted those files, and my website loads up fine. Just wondering, is there a way I can restore those files without having my hosting company reinstall Perl?

Thx in advance.

Sorry I didn't get this out here earlier (and it's an xpost from Perlmonks), but Perl Community (parent org of the Science Perl Committee that is initiated the Science Track) is giving out a "peoples choice" award at the end of Conference Lightning Talks. It's sincere gesture from us and allows anyone to vote for anyone in the Perl community at large, as a "thank you" from us.

The Science Track talks have been great, some are even starting to come online. Thanks to everyone who made this happen, especially the TPRC Planning Committee.

I am using Selenium to obtain a numeric value from a website with code such as:

my @divwrap = $driver->find_elements('whatever', 'id'); my $return_value = $driver->find_child_element($divwrap, 'changeValue', 'class')->get_text(); 

This works fine, and returns the correct expected value.

If the value is POSITIVE, it return the plus sign, such as "+64.43"

But if the value is NEGATIVE, it returns a "wide Character" string: "" instead of the minus sign.

So the return looks like "64.43"

Interestingly, I cannot do a substitution.

If I have explicit code, such as:

my $output = "64.43" ; $output =~ s/"/\-/ ; 

... then $output will print as "-64.43"

... but if I try to do the same substitution on the return from the find_child_element function:

$return_value =~ s/"/\-/ ; 

... the substitution does not take... and printing $return_value continues to output "64.43".

Any ideas why it doesn't... and how to solve it?

I’m a dev with 20yoe in mostly Java and js but have various amounts of experience with other languages. I’ve decided that I need Perl in my toolkit because I find it on even the most minimal boxes preinstalled and I can’t always install Java or Js just to do admin things. Typically I use bash for these tasks but I just need a little more ability to abstract than what bash easily provides. What would you all recommend as the place to start? Most guides that I run into assume that I’m a beginner to programming and it feels slow. My normal method of learning a new language is to stumble through building a web server but I’m not sure that the way to go here.

I am working with the IP::Geolocation::MMDB module which replaces the deprecated modules for GeoIP databases.

I am having trouble understanding how to extract data.

my $ip = "8.8.8.8"; my $db = IP::Geolocation::MMDB->new(file => "$geolitecitydb"); my $geodata = $db->record_for_address($ip); print Dumper($geodata); 

Using Data::Dumper as above to show the results, I see something like (truncated):
Dumper...........$VAR1 = { 'continent' => { 'geoname_id' => 6255149, 'names' => { 'de' => 'Nordamerika', 'es' => "Norteam\x{e9}rica", 'zh-CN' => "\x{5317}\x{7f8e}\x{6d32}", 'ru' => "\x{421}\x{435}\x{432}\x{435}\x{440}\x{43d}\x{430}\x{44f} \x{410}\x{43c}\x{435}\x{440}\x{438}\x{43a}\x{430}", 'fr' => "Am\x{e9}rique du Nord", 'ja' => "\x{5317}\x{30a2}\x{30e1}\x{30ea}\x{30ab}", 'en' => 'North America', 'pt-BR' => "Am\x{e9}rica do Norte" }, 'code' => 'NA' 

Supposing I just want to grab the value of continent=>names=>en portion (value: 'North America') and write it to a value -- how would I do this? I'm having problems understanding the documentation I'm reading to deal with hashes of hashes.

Most examples I can find online involve looping through all of this; but in my case, I just want to make $somevar = 'North America.' I'd like to repeat it for other data as well, which is returned in this hash.

It feels like something like:

$geodata{city=>names=>en} should work, but it doesn't.

I want to repeat a process for every key in a hash, with numeric keys. So there are 3 possibilities, with 3 if, and each one compares the value of the index of an array, so that if that position eq to "sp", "sp2" or "sp3" it will search in a document some value so then it can be printed. It doesn´t work and every times gives me only one value, i would like to get the values that correspond with the hash. For example the hash could be %grupos=(1,'A',2,'G',3,'J')

and the array @hibridaciones=("sp","sp2",sp3")

The document .txt (simplified) is:

HS0.32 CS0,77 CD0.62 CT0,59 C10,77 C20,62 C30,59 OS0.73 OD0,6 O10,73 O20,6 NS0.75

The code is:

open (covalencia,"<", "cov.txt") or die "$!\n"; print keys %grupos; keys %grupos; foreach my $z (keys %grupos) { print "\n$z\n"; if (@hibridaciones[my $z-1] eq “sp") { while (my $line = <covalencia>) { if ( $line=~/C1/) { $line =~s/C1//; $radio=$line; print "\n$radio"; } } } if (@hibridaciones[my $z-1] eq "sp2") { while (my $line = <covalencia>) { if ($line=~/C2/) { $line =~s/C2//; $radio=$line; print "\n$radio"; } } } if (@hibridaciones[my $z-1] eq "sp3") { while (my $line = <covalencia>) { if ($line=~/C3/) { $line =~s/C3//; $radio=$line; print "\n$radio"; } } } } close (covalencia);

On this site: https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/246845/convert-json-object-of-directories-to-list-of-paths

There is an interesting perl solution but I'm trying to wrap my head around it and am baffled.

map/}/?/{/&&say($s)..$s=~s|[^/]+/$||:($s.=s/"//gr."/"),/{?}|".+?"/g When I do a simple test: my $s = <some json string> .. the map above I don't get any output. Thanks in advance

I have a bunch of files that I am parsing out a simple tag
<institution content-type="division">(.+?)?<\/institution>

Everything is going fine until I hit this result:
2) School of Chemical &amp; Biomolecular Engineering

This is complaining because it thinks the ) is unmatched. How do I get it to accept whatever is in the capture? I tried playing around with \Q and \E but that isn't working. For clarity, I won't know what is in this tag, it could be anything at all and the tag is simple enough that I don't want to use some XML parser.
