I have been using the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel to list the contents of spreadsheet. I've seen several examples on how to dump the entire spreadsheet. I really would like to see how to use this script more selectively. The example below from IBM basically dumps the content of all cells that have data. #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel; my $oExcel = new Spreadsheet::ParseExcel; die "You must provide a filename to $0 to be parsed as an Excel file" unless @ARGV; my $oBook = $oExcel->Parse($ARGV[0]); my($iR, $iC, $oWkS, $oWkC); print "FILE :", $oBook->{File} , "\n"; print

Here is an excellent question and the wonderful tchrist 's answer with 7+24+52 advices&comments how to make an perl program utf8 safe. But here is 19k CPAN modules. What is possible to do for differentiating "good" and "bad" ones? (from the utf8's point of view) For example: File::Slurp if you will read the file with #use strict encoding warnings utf8 autodie... etc.... my $str = read_file($file, binmode => ':utf8'); you will get different results based on command line switches, and perl -CSDA will not work. Sad. (Yes, i know than Encode::decode("utf8", read_file($file, binmode => ':raw'));

I've found a few related questions, like Python vs. Perl (now deleted) and Is Perl Worth it? (now deleted), but I can't seem to find anything that directly addresses this question. Is there a legitimate future in Perl? I work in a Perl shop right now, and I came from PHP so I see some of the advantages of an arguably "lower" level language when doing things on the server-level, but it seems to me a lot of the tasks in Perl can be performed more quickly in PHP, and SOME ARGUE (subjective, not my opinion) that Python does these tasks in a more explicit way that's easier to maintain.

I want to connect to an Oracle Database through Perl. For this, I'm trying to install DBD::Oracle from CPAN by using the following command: [root@localhost Admin]# cpan DBD::Oracle While running above command on my Linux terminal, I'm getting the following error: [root@localhost Admin]# cpan DBD::Oracle CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.45) Going to read '/root/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Thu, 27 Feb 2014 06:17:02 GMT Running install for module 'DBD::Oracle' CPAN: YAML loaded ok (v0.88) Running make for P/PY/PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.70.tar.gz CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok (v5.47) CPAN:

I've been trying to install the IPTables module for perl http://metacpan.org/pod/IPTables::IPv4 and I've been running into errors during installation. I've tried installing using the CPAN in shell as well as downloading the tarball form the link above. Both installation give me errors. I am not sure how to get the dump from CPAN but what I can get is a dump of my shell when I run the MAKE file from the tarball: [root@localhost IPTables-IPv4-0.98]# make make -C libiptc/ all make[1]: Entering directory `/home/student/Downloads/IPTables-IPv4-0.98/libiptc' gcc -o libip6tc.o -c libip6tc.c -I..

I'm researching about how to package some of my Perl apps and better manage their dependencies to make distribution easier for me and my customers, which most likely doesn't include uploading to CPAN at all. Instead, I would provide custom repos if necessary or, more likely, access to SCMs like Subversion. CPAN::Meta::Spec seems to provide what I need to describe my apps, their dependencies and even where to get them from, but what I'm wondering is about the level of detail of pre-requisites. The spec contains the following sentence: The set of relations must be specified as a Map of package
