PSA: to get Net::SSLeay to build on a new M3 MBP I had to do export OPENSSL_PREFIX=/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/include/openssl/ to get it to build on a new M3 MBP with an OpenSSL that was installed via brew install openssl

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?
