How can I print a table with multi-line strings using the Text::Table module?
The Text::Table code calls split( /\n/ ) on each row of your data and puts the results into their own rows. You can work around this by calculating which rows actually correspond to multi-line data and only printing a rule at the appropriate boundaries: use strict; use warnings; use List::Util...
Reconnect using AnyEvent::Handle and tcp_connect
You can use the following: package MyConnector; use strict; use warnings; use AE qw( ); use AnyEvent::Handle qw( ); use Scalar::Util qw( ); sub new { my $class = shift; my %opts = @_; my $self = bless({}, $class); { Scalar::Util::weaken(my $self = $self); my $on_connect = delete($opts{on_connect}); my $on_connect_error...
CPAN module prereqs
The Makefile.PL doesn't install prerequisites; it just complains if they're not installed. It's the CPAN client's job to install prerequisites. Note: Module::Install has an auto_install feature that does this, but the general consensus seems to be that using it is a bad idea....
How to get an unique element from two arrays in Perl
@upd contains one element, the exit status of the shell that executed perl test.pl | grep '*.x86_64.rpm'. Similarly, @inst contains one element, the exit status of rpm. Perhaps you were trying to capture the output? Use backticks. my @upd = `perl test.pl | grep '*.x86_64.rpm'`; chomp(@upd); my @inst = `rpm...
Version-dependent fallback code
Many recent features are not forward-compatible. As you've seen, you'll get compile-time errors using a feature that is too new for the version of perl you are running. Using block-eval won't help, because the contents of the block need to be valid for the current perl interpreter. You are on...
perl inheritance and directory structure
My goal was to understand how classes can use each other when residing in various packages. It seems like, unlike Java where 'lib' generally means 3rd party jars, a lib in Perl denotes the root containing all the packages specific to a script. Seems like 'use lib (dirpath)' has to...
Iterating through a array of hashes in a hash that has multiple indexes
arrays,perl,loops,hash,hashmap
You do not actually need to loop through keys %details. I take it, you have built the %details hash based on Borodin's suggestion from Extracting data from log file into Perl hash. In this case what you have is not actually an array of hashes but rather a single hash...
Reducing code verbosity and efficiency
There is a famous quote: "Premature optimisation is the root of all evil" - Donald Knuth It is almost invariably the case that making code more concise really doesn't make much difference to the efficiency, and can cause significant penalties to readability and maintainability. Algorithm is important, code layout ......
Not moving files in perl grep in if expression
There's actually more than one thing wrong with your code.

Windows/Linux child process STDIN differences
linux,windows,perl,process,stdin
This isn't a Windows verus Linux thing. You simply picked two awful examples. type con reads from the console, not from STDIN. This can be seen using type con <nul. cat is extremely unusual. Buffering, on either system, is completely up to the individual application, but almost all applications work...
Perl SV value from pointer without copy
If you want Perl to manage the memory block, it needs to know how to reallocate it and deallocate it. The only memory it knows how to reallocate and deallocate is memory allocated using its allocator, Newx. (Otherwise, it would have to associate a reallocator and deallocator with each memory...

Perl - an array content
You can use grep to go through the array one at a time and see if any match: if ( grep $file ~= /\Q.$_\z/, @array ) { Or join the array elements into a single regex: my @array = qw(avi mp4 mov); my $selected_extensions = qr/^\.(?:@{[ join '|', map quotemeta,...
Perl to substitute string with a string containing spaces and double quotes
Use the -s switch to pass the variable to perl: perl -spe 's/PLACEHOLDER/$var/' -- -var="$arrayLMEs" filename The -- signifies the end of the command line arguments. -var="$arrayLMEs" sets a perl variable with the value of your shell variable $arrayLMEs. Alternatively, you could use awk: awk -v var="$arrayLMEs" '{sub(/PLACEHOLDER/, var)}1' filename...
Accessing data stored in .CSV file
I suspect that this is due to the CSV file originating on Windows but being processed on a different platform Tie::Array::CSV hard codes the record separator as LF, which is correct for almost any situation (including Windows files being processed on a Windows system) but the records of a Windows...
Perl Debugging Using Flags
perl,debugging,script-debugging
In perl, compile time is also run time. So there's really not a great deal of advantage in using #define type statements. My usual trick is: my $debug = 0; $debug += scalar grep ( "-d", @ARGV ); (GetOpt is probably honestly a better plan though) And then use: print...

How to print an empty XML element in perl

Why do I get “-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('” when I run my Perl one-liner?
Double quotes cause Bash to replace variable references like $1 and $2 with the values of these shell variables. Use single quotes around your Perl script to avoid this (or quote every dollar sign, backtick, etc in the script). However, you cannot escape single quotes inside single quotes easily; a...

C++ - back to start of loop without checking the condition
There is no redo keyword for going back to the start of a loop, but there's no reason you couldn't do it with goto. (Oh I feel so dirty recommending goto...) int tries = 0; for(int i=0; i<10; ++i) { loop_start: bool ok = ((i+tries)%3==0); if(ok) { ++tries; goto loop_start;...

The chapter of the Perl documentation that deals with this is called perlre. In the extended pattern matching section it explains this. Starting in Perl 5.14, a "^" (caret or circumflex accent) immediately after the "?" is a shorthand equivalent to d-imsx . Flags (except "d" ) may follow the...

how to print all the lines of a text file from hash - perl
You have while (my $line =<$fh>) which reads a single record via $fh. The default input record separator in Perl is "\n" meaning you are reading the file line-by-line. By definition, a single line has a single line-terminator. chomp ($line); then removes this single "\n" from the string in $line....
Perl regex replace slashes for converting path between windows and linux
When you use a regular expression, the conventional approach is to use a / character as a delimiter, e.g.: s/pattern/replacement/g; But you can use any character instead of a /, for example a pipe: s|pattern|replacement|g; This is useful if you want to use a / in your pattern. Normally you...
Do Mojolicious and Moose play well together?
In my experience, they work fine together. I've successfully built Mojolicious apps with Moose (and Moo should work fine as well.)

Perl: Static vs Package methods

As such, for the sake of the programmers using your module, you'll...
