00:52 <****> WebDragon: a yield() is a post() to the currently running session.
00:52 <****> What if we know what not a thing is not and not what it is not? Would the knowing of the notness of its notness be better than not knowing what it is not?
00:53 <****> Yaakov: This statement is false.
00:53 <****> Is not.
00:53 <****> Is true.
00:53 * WebDragon has noticed that all the yields in the existing script are in the Master, and not the Checker
00:53 <****> Yaakov: YAAKOV. YAAKOV. YAAKOV.
00:53 <****> All generalizations are true.
00:53 <****> in general.
00:54 <****> buu: 82099
00:54 <****> I disagree.
00:54 <****> Hello, mmlj4.
00:54 <****> Also, this sentence no verb, amazingly.
00:54 <****> but it does adverb.
00:54 <****> What gets me is that 28% of people will never be aggreagated in any sort of statistical analysis!
00:54 <****> hey Yaakov... got a ping on your printer hacking post, here on our LUG mailing list
00:55 <****> mmlj4: I have 82099 new friends!
00:55 <****> i'll bet
00:55 <****> No, no sorry... it's 82309 now
00:56 <****> hello
00:56 <****> i have a few clients that would appreciate the hack... I've already trained them to expect weirdness from me (like putting a crash .wav for their windows startup sound)
00:57 <****> Hello, rajkosto.
00:57 <****> that gives you about 3.5 days to spend with each
00:57 <****> mmlj4: someone in my workgroup about 10 years ago made the Oz wicked witch of the west "LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" shriek as the error sound
00:57 <****> heh
00:57 <****> how do i do perl scripts
00:57 <****> hilarity ensued
00:57 <****> rajkosto: perldoc perlrun :)
00:57 <****> rajkosto: go read "beginning perl"
00:58 <****> bah
00:58 <****> rajkosto: Your question is a little vague.
00:58 <****> rajkosto: it can be read here or read there, but we'd rather not retype it all
00:58 <****> What are you tryin to do?
00:58 <****> considering they did a much better job describing it than we will
00:58 <****> i need to make a script that gets a html page, gets some info from it, then updates a db with the info it got, and runs a program
00:58 <****> WebDragon: SPEAK FOR YOURSELF!
00:58 <****> Yaakov: remember, you asked for all your newbie friends to come here and pester us
00:59 <****> O,o
00:59 <****> mmlj4: No, "pestering" was never suggested.
00:59 <****> rajkosto: There are perl modules to do all of that.
00:59 <****> yeah
00:59 <****> rajkosto: But you will have to get the foundation first.
00:59 <****> but i dont know perl i know php
00:59 <****> sounds like a web spider that will get information for html pages where DB access is not accessible... hrm, I wonder what that could be for
00:59 <****> rajkosto: The transition won't be too bad.
00:59 <****> rajkosto: perldoc LWP, HTML::Parser, HTML::ContentExtractor, DBI,
01:00 <****> rajkosto: there are pages that will help you migrate from that awful language to perl
01:00 <****> i just need to get my current global ip address, put it in the db, and then run a program that refreshes my bind dns entries
01:00 <****> perlbot: Beginning Perl
01:00 <****> http://www.perl.org/books/beginning-perl/
01:00 <****> That's cute.
01:00 <****> rajkosto: there are easier ways to do that
01:00 <****> Yaakov, you are the Yaakov that wrote the program that sets the HP laser printer's display to random things, right?
01:00 <****> what's the term for that? dyn-dns?
01:01 <****> rajkosto: Read that, it will take a little while but it would make you reasy.
01:01 <****> http://tnx.nl/php my favorite perl vs php page
01:01 <****> ready
01:01 <****> Chris62vw: Would I do something like that?!
01:01 <****> Chris62vw: Our little yaakov is famous on the innertubes.
01:01 <****> Yaakov, like, totally dude!!
01:01 <****> random things like counterfeit dollars?
01:01 <****> WebDragon: yes, favorite, but not helpful to migraters
01:01 * WebDragon didn't exactly say that :)
01:02 <****> Chris62vw: I got a comment that said you helped someone modify the script, then managed to lose th comment thanks to blogger's lousy interface.
01:02 <****> rajkosto: try searching for: eponym.pl
01:02 <****> yay that does half my work
01:02 <****> still need to update the db and run the program
01:03 <****> ffs its commercial
01:04 <****> hrm... anyone remember that rosetta stone page for PHP switchers?
01:05 <****> http://quark.humbug.org.au/publications/perl/perl-php-rosetta-stone.html
01:05 <****> that ?
01:05 <****> WebDragon's url is at http://xrl.us/7iis
01:07 * WebDragon had to get rid of Rosetta Stone -- in addition to talking too much she had this nasty habit of repeating exactly what she just said, in three different languages
01:09 <****> that page kinda sucks ...
01:12 * WebDragon just googled it up rather quickly and didn't look any further, so ... dunno if that's actually the one he was thinking of
01:13 <****> food break. gotta recharge a while
01:14 <****>$file") or die "Can't open $filename: $!\n";
01:14 <****> Where did $file come from and what does $filename have to do with it in the die?
01:15 <****> haha
01:16 <****>_+
01:16 <****> Moo.
01:18 <****> !
01:18 <****> Yaakov, yeah, I helped someone make it to where the script takes entries from a file for the display text...

01:18 <****> cool script, rather
01:18 <****> hey retard

01:19 <****> s/\(/\*/
01:19 <****> perhaps?
01:20 <****> oh nm
01:20 <****> maybe something like s/^\(.*$/\*/
01:21 <****> i am horrible at regexes
01:21 <****> squall__, tr /(/*/;
01:21 <****> eval: $_="foo(bar)"; s/
01:21 <****> Chris62vw: ''ERROR: 2090: Substitution pattern not terminated at (eval 238) line 1.
