OpenSUSE :: Difference Between Perl And Perl-devel?
Jun 28, 2010
I'm new in perl programming and linux OS. What is the difference between perl and perl-devel? What does mean devel? Iwant to install Catalyst and before install as required I have to check if make, gcc and perl-devel are installed in my system. make and gcc are installed. But I have to install perl-devel. First I searched for make, gcc and perl-devel in YAST Software Management and search did not find perl-devel. I visited the software.opensuse.org and wrote "perl-devel" and searched. The result was many similar zips with a prefix perl-devel and I can not choose one for needed perl-devel.
I am new here and want to lern CentOS. Current I have installed CentOS 5.5 x64 and Perl 5.8.8. Now i have install Perl 5.12.1 which located to /usr/local/bin/perl. But how I can move it to /usr/bin/perl so root based on Perl 5.12.1?
I recently reinstalled the B module for perl. Now I found out it didn't just do that, it installed a whole new copy of perl into /usr/local/bin/perl. When I type 'which perl' at the terminal, it says '/usr/local/bin/perl' instead of '/usr/bin/perl'. Normally, this wouldn't bother me. But I installed the one in local/bin without threading support. The one that comes with the system already is build with threading support, which is why I want to switch back to the system perl, and possibly remove the one in /usr/local/bin.
So how do I change it so that the result of 'which perl' returns as '/usr/bin/perl'? And what do I have to do to remove /usr/local/bin/perl?
The reason I need threading support is because I'm designing a file copier that copies several chunks of a file simultaneously to speed up the copying process. Guaranteed a useful script if it works.
If I use "#!/usr/bin/perl" in the beginning of a perl script the script won't work if the script is at all complicated. Simple scripts like "Hello World" works.
But if I use "#!/usr/bin/perl -w" in the beginning all scripts work?
If I don't use the -w this is whats in the logs:
(2)No such file or directory: exec of '/home/test.net/html/cgi-bin/uh/meny.pl' failed
Premature end of script headers: meny.pl
When I use the -w in the script the error-log shows me this.
meny.pl: Name "main::http_path_cgi" used only once: possible typo at /home/test.net/html/cgi-bin/uh/meny.pl line 24.
Am just wondering what the notion is behind having a package without all needed files, and having a -devel package with the rest. Such that whenever am installing a package fron tarball, and it says it cannot get a package, I always install the -devel equivalent and all gets to be OK. Why dont they just have everything in the original package?
I have a server with a domain running and im trying to resolve the mail server but i can't see where to start. I use OpenSuse 11.2. Basically, for starting, i want postfix to send incoming emails to a php script or perl. for outgoing emails i guess that i could use php mail function and i will see what else to have. I configured the dns. I do a dig.mydomain.tld MX and i get the following:
I am using Fedora 11 and am interested in starting to use perl. Does Fedora 11 come with perl? If so, how do I invoke it? If not, what is the usual (popular) way of installing and running perl on Fedora 11?
I just downloaded Tk-804.028 and try to install it (according to the README.linux) but I get:
> perl Makefile.PL /opt/ActivePerl-5.10/bin/perl-static is installed in /opt/ActivePerl-5.10/lib okay PPM for perl5.010001 Test Compiling config/perlrx.c Test Compiling config/pmop.c Test Compiling config/pregcomp2.c
I Installed perl-doc in ubuntu 10.04 using sudo apt-get install perl-doc,in the same way I installed doc for postgreSQL. How to use perl-doc so that I can get from perl-doc.
I want the output of this file to be in a column, not next to each ohter. I tired putting a a newline escape character in a few places, but it breaks the script. It is easy in awk, just ls -ltr | awk '{print $8 }'
I really would like Perl Qt4 bindings. The best I could find is this:[URL]The problem is that the sources would not compile, and the RPMs are for 32-bit machines.Is there really no such thing as good Perl Qt4 bindings?
I am a newbie on linux and just searching everything about perl scripting and modules nearly 3-4 days. I need a perl script but one of not easy to find on searching google. Okay now I need a perl script which create or recreate (edit) id3 tags (artist, comment, album, year, cover) of mp3 files stored on my linux centos server. I installed MP3::Tag version 1.13 pearl module to my server. I Searched tutorials about how to use it, finally I get through reading id3 tag of mp3 file but not achieve to modify it or create a new id3tag.
These are the details: I have a mp3 file called 1.mp3 this script will process that '1.mp3' file read its id3tag if there is one, than modify or create id3tag for it by my fix artist name for example: '1.mp3' files id3 tag details are like this Artist: Dj xx Year:2010 Title:yyyyy Comment:eerwer Cover: x.jpg
Now via this perl script which uses MP3::TAG I will change it's artist as YYY Title:ttt Comment:cool Cover:t.jpg these are gonna be my fixed values. I mean all '1.mp3' file will have same artist based on script value.
The reason of this script is I will share Dj podcasts on my server and Dj's would have upload their mp3's which has got different id3 tags and cover pics. etc. I want to create more organized podcasts of them by the way I would trigger this perl script via Cronjob.
I'm getting the following error when I'm trying to install from 'testing' repo. E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'perl' I'm doing apt pinning to install XFCE 4.8 on Squeeze. I've already added all the necessary sources and my /etc/apt/preferences file looks like this.
Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 400 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 300 Here is what I'm trying to install.
I am on a friend's box and we are atm transitioning from stable to sid on his box. Instead of doing the whole thing at one shot via update-manager we are doing it using the apt tools. Now while upgrading, I'm not able to update any of the perl 5.12 packages, perhaps due to circular dependencies or what. This is the error I'm seeing :-
I have a CD with the Fedora 14 ISO burned. It doesn't appear to have perl installed on it. (Open a terminal, type "perl" and press Enter, and get the "Command not found." response.)Further, once I install to the hard drive and boot from it, run the updates and let them complete, and reboot, I still don't seem to have perl and I can't find a package for fc14 that would install perl.I must be the only one having this problem because I don't see any references to this and somebody would have noticed by now, but is there anyone who can tell me what I might have done wrong?
We are having perl version 5.8 and executing the perl scripts to maintain oracle database on Solaris10. Our existing perl version is 5.8.Now, we want to try the same existing perl scripts on Fedora14.Is it possible to run the existing perl scripts on Fedoara14?Do I have to seperately install the perl on Fedora14 ?
I had a problem recently, where a perl script was consuming server resources. I found out it was a perl script by using "top". But it didn't give the path to the script. Nor did ps.Also, ps -ef showed that the process with that pid is /usr/bin/httpd (apache), so it must have been apache serving some perl page I suppose.Is it possible to get the path to currently running perl script, if I only know the process PID of the perl process that is running that script? If so, how? I don't need the path to the perl binary, I need the path to the perl script that binary is currently executing.
