Some sort of scoping problem

This is *not* a trivial problem. If you know Perl well, please take a bit of time to look at this. I have the following code in a file Foo.pm package Foo; my @xyzzy = (1,2,3); sub new { my $self = bless {}, shift; $self->ini('xyzzy'); print \@xyzzy, ' ', scalar @xyzzy; print $self->{xyzzy}, ' ', scalar @{$self->{xyzzy}};

A Repeating Symptom - Parts are out of place

I'll probably set up several "Repeating symptom" entries - probably because they are easy to talk about, being repetitive and all. I recall a young man quipping - "Does your nose run and your feet smell? Then you're probably built upside down!" Okay, a little kid-humor there to get thinking about something that arises quite a bit - that of organically-grown environments that once-upon-a-time

Oracle - NO listener.ora and NO tnsnames.ora Needed

For some reason Oracle's networking environment is very difficult to understand. I myself was a bit confused when Oracle first introduced this feature. Oracle's networking environment is nothing more than letting some client computer connect to a database host computer—establishing and maintaining a connection through the network using standard protocols. For this to work, the client computer needs

Error in Handling Unicode(UTF16-LE) File & String

In most cases, I converted utf-16le files into utf-8 encoding. But, I want to handle utf-16le files directly. My first source is "read a line from utf-16le file and write it in utf-16le encoding". It works well. ============================== ============================ use utf8; use Encode; open ($infile, "<:encoding(UTF-16LE):crlf", "unicodefile.dat");

Re: Process to fix a broken CPAN module?

I hope you do realize that 'od -x' does reverse the bytes when used on a little endian system. Just create a file that only contains two letter, e.g. first 'a' and then 'b'. Now look at the file with 'od -x' and you will find (at least if you're on a little endian system) 0000000 6261 i.e. the 'b' seems to come first and only then the 'a'.

Why doesn't Perl complain about this bareword?

By chance I found out that no error is issued on the following program: perl -w -e 'use strict; print(Does::Not::Exist,"\n")' Instead, "Does::Not::Exist" is printed. Shouldn't there be a warning about the improper use of a bareword? Similarily, the program perl -w -e 'use strict; system(Does::Not::Exist,"\n")'

Oracle 10g Express Connection Limitations?

Hello, I used Oracle 10g XE a lot last summer and will likely be using it again this summer. My database is essentially for experiment purposes and most connections to it are VIA ODBC. I noticed last year after so many (like 20 perhaps? I'm not sure an exact number) sequential ODBC connections (that is connect and disconnect, the connections were
