How to use the arguments to use() in the package being used
Howdy,=20 The subject says it all believe it or not :) What I'm trying to figure out is how to pass an argument=20 (pragma I believe is the proper term) to use() and do=20 sonethign in the package based on it. I've looked at CGI.pm source but can't seem to track it down.=20 (Similar idea as to CGIs -oldstyle_urls -newstyel_urls) http://search.cpan.org/~lds/CGI.pm-3.04/CGI.pm#PRAGMAS What I'd like to do is something like this: # for old time's sake we'll just use our favorite module use Foo::Monkey qw(:Foo :Bar -doamazingthings); #then in Foo::Monkey...

Using Using
I have just completed reading a chapter in my book on performance. The books says to speed up performance on your web site you should use the using statement when opening connections. My question is how do you catch errors if you are using this as apposed to a try catch block.thanksBryan  Why would you use it as an alternative to a try/catch statement. Couldn't you just do something like  public void UsingSomeMethod() { try { SomeMethod(); } catch(SomeException e) { /// do something useful }}public void SomeMethod() { using (Something) { ...

When to use ( and when to use ((?
I'm just not getting it. When do you use ( in a statement, when do you need to use ((, and is the space after either or both mandatory? For example, I coded this statement: if (( $_ eq $bad_guys_ip )) { more_stuff_here }; Why the two (( in an if? And why does it seem to not work when I miss the space after the ((? Thanx!

Using Use:CGI to process form variables
Hi all, As a Perl Newbie I just felt more comfortable processing form variables using the method I'm most comfortable with As Jenda pointed out in a previous post that this is not the best method. > #read STDIN, $PostData, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'}; > > #print "post data =$PostData<br>"; > > #postdata will look like this > #txtEmailAddr=colin.johnstone@det.nsw.edu.au&radAction=unsubscribe&rad > #Format=html&Submit=Submit I need to extract from this string the > #fields and their values > my @fields = split( /\&a...

When to use/not use ViewState
I'm creating a client app and I'm wondering is it neccessary to enable viewstate for "All" the fields. When should you use viewstate and when should you "NOT" use viewstate. Thanks.Daniel It depends on your requirements. if you dont need to preserve the contents of inputboxes past the initial post then dont turn on viewstate for them. you could take the approach of turning off viewstate for everything, and then turn it back on item by item as you find you need it. It shouldnt just be enabled for everything as it does make the page heavier - especially with ...

To use or not to use Delphi
Sadly, it seems to me that there is a sort of race between the two threads, for and against using Delphi in new projects, with more or less the same users posting in both threads. Arguments are fiercely debated in both camps. Borland had their own vision. As a community, now that Delphi has changed ownership I believe we should try to be more consistent, more clear, and more articulate in what we expect from Embercadero in terms of Delphi. We can contribute to keeping Delphi alive and moving in the right direction. "Laurent Cocea" schrieb: > Sadly, it seems to me that there ...

DSRepair
Any good information on when to use Dsrepair which settings to use ? Is this something that should be run on a monthly /weekly basis and which of the million settings should be turned on:o) Use DSREPAIR to fix a broken database - that is what it is intended to be used for. It is not intended to be used as a "regular maintenance" tool. Using it in this way can in fact hide more serious issues by removing symptoms that indicate a more serious problem. Use it as a last resort for trying to identify problems with the database. Run health checks weekly or monthly (...

To use signatures or not to use?
--001a11c3871a8a8fe2051b7b8b18 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Dear all, Perl now has subroutine signatures. However, they are marked as experimental feature. As I really like it, I'm always tempted to use it. On the other hand, I don't want to wast efforts to something I have to roll back. So, does anyone know the tendency if signatures are going to stay? I'm not looking for the standard "do if you want to do it because TIMTOWTDI" answer, it will not help me. I'm looking for rumors, or eventually an assessment from the people who did the fe...
