And, if I may, I would request that posters not alter the Subject line in
any way (unless the Subject is inappropriate, as Rich discussed above). I am
forced to use an email client in which the only threading available is by
Subject line. I have seen Subject lines acquire extra (doubled) spaces in
them, become truncated, or simply misspelled (a typo). All this breaks the
limited threading I have available.

Thanks,

Subject: [MacPerl] EBCDIC in, ASCII out?

That's what I need to do, take an EBCDIC file, and translate it to ASCII.

While the task isn't that difficult, if somebody has already written an
elegant solution, I feel no need to do it too.  So, if anybody know of a
solution for this conversion that's already done, please let me know.

Thanks,
John

John,

There's a module in CPAN, Convert::Translit, which converts to and
from a very large number of characcter encodings.  It's in pure
Perl, so it probably will work on the Mac, though I haven't actually
used it.  Please let us know if it works for you.

<http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Convert/Convert-Translit-1.03.tar.gz>

There are a number of modules on CPAN that handle this.  Many are simply 
implemented using perl arrays and the tr// operator - hence they involve 
no XS coding at all.  Some allow for choosing and/or setting various 
codepages.  For example:

  http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/CXL/
  http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/CXL/Convert-EBCDIC-0.06.tar.gz
    
Geoffrey Rommel has recently posted a couple of Convert::IBM390
modules to the CPAN.  Convert-IBM390-0.01 is an xs based module
(fast) and Convert-IBM390p-0.01 is a pure perl module (may be slower
but easier to install, particularly on platforms without C compilers).
I've not yet had a chance to try them out but folks are certainly welcome
to do so.  See:

  http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/G/GR/GROMMEL/
  http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/G/GR/GROMMEL/Convert-IBM390-0_01_tar.gz

See also:

  http://www.cpan.org/authors/Genji_Schmeder/
  http://www.cpan.org/authors/Genji_Schmeder/Convert-Translit-1.03.tar.gz

which was developed on a Mac (I do not know what EBCDIC codepages are
mentioned in RFC 1345 unfortunately).

Subject: [MacPerl] MacPerl and IO::Socket::peeraddr()

- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

I'm new to the list, although not particularly to MacPerl.  

I have a problem with one of the examples from the documentation, in
the perlipc.pod file.  In the section on using IO::Socket, there is an
example of creating a server using ->new() and then ->accept() and
then getting a client socket back.  However, the call

$client->peeraddr;

fails with an error that the field is empty.  No matter what I try, I
cannot get data on the address of the client who has accessed my
server.  Has anyone encountered this before?  How can I locate the
address of the client who is hitting my server?  I'd like to keep it
OO using IO::Socket if I can.

Here are plain C solutions to translate from ISO1047 to ISO8859-1 and vice
versa. Simply compile and link under OS/390 Unix System services, no
subroutines are needed.

Thanks all.

I grabbed the Convert::EBCDIC module, and it works fine on the Mac. I
haven't finished looking at all of the solutions I got, but I will.  And I
really appreciate the help.

Thanks again,
John

Subject: [MacPerl] macperl with First Class

Hi,

Does anyone use MacPerl with Soft Arc's First Class Intranet 
Server?
I am having problems running scripts with my server, I keep getting 
an 'Internal Error 500'.  I put my scripts in the CGI-BIN directory in 
First Class and saved them as cgi scripts, however, I still get the 
error message.
Any help would be appreciated.
regards

James
