The Problem Tried to install the latest version of cpan and got stuck. Tracked it down to the dependency module Mac::SystemDirectory which was failing to build:

The Solution Use the MacOS installer command to deploy the needed files:
|
|
sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target / installer: Package name is macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14 installer: Installing at base path / installer: The install was successful. |
The, rerunning the cpan install works:

I have a task in Perl to list specific files based on pattern match, those with and those without the string “_from_”. There are two files in the directory to filter: static-east.properties static-east_from_west.properties To capture the files with the _from_ string was easy:
|
|
/^static-(.*?)_from_(.*?)\.properties$/ |
To capture the files WITHOUT the _from_ string was not quite […]

In the normal vim mode, typing gg=G will reindent the entire file. == will re-indent just the current line. http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Fix_indentation

Step 1: Enable Apache status and lock it down: Make sure mod_status is being loaded: grep -Rn mod_status /etc/httpd/*
|
|
/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-base.conf:58:LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so |
Add support for the call just under the first DocumentRoot statement: vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
|
|
<Location /server-status> SetHandler server-status Require ip 127.0.0.1 Require ip ::1 Require ip {Your_IP_Here} </Location> |
Step 2. Prepare your environment: cpan YAML HTML::TableExtract Step 3: Create and run the status script: vim /root/astat
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 |
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use HTML::TableExtract; # PATH to "curl" utility my $CURL = "/usr/bin/curl"; # URL of the server-status we want to process my $STATUS_URL = "http://localhost/server-status"; # those are the headers in the first row of the table we want to extract # Used by HTML::TableExtract to search for our table, within the whole HTML output my $headers =['Srv','PID','Acc','M','CPU','SS','Req','Conn','Child','Slot','Client','VHost','Request']; # Let's fetch the status page... my $output = `$CURL -s $STATUS_URL`; # Let's search for our table within the HTML... my $tables = HTML::TableExtract->new( headers => $headers ); # We found it (hopefully), so let's parse it... $tables->parse($output); # ...and let's stick to the first one my $status_table = $tables->first_table_found; # Now let's loop allover the rows... foreach my $row_ref ($status_table->rows) { # Let's de-reference the ARRAY reference, so to better manager # the various elements... my @row = @$row_ref; # Let's check for IP next if $row[10]=~/127.0.0.1/; next if $row[10]=~/216.66.125.161/; next if $row[10]=~/69.162.124.235/; # Let's check for an OPTIONS row... if ($row[12]=~/OPTIONS/) { # simply skip to next row in the loop next; } # Let's choose whatever columns we want (first column has index "0") # So here we have Srv, PID, Client and Request #foreach my $column (0,1,10,12) { foreach my $column (10,11,12) { print $row[$column]."|"; } print "\n"; } |

Using PERL, we can easily do a search and replace across multiple files. perl -pi -w -e ‘s/SEARCH_FOR/REPLACE_WITH/g;’ FILE_LIST The following example will replace all occurrences of “hello” with “goodbye” inside files ending with .txt:
|
|
perl -pi -w -e 's/hello/goodbye/g;' *.txt |
To handle special characters, use the hex value. For example, to convert MS web files that use control characters: […]

CPAN Error: Undefined subroutine &IO::Uncompress::Base::readonly called at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/IO/Uncompress/Base.pm Looks like CentOS update installs an older version of the Scalar::Util so that Perl could not load the module. Download the Scalar::Util module and manually install it:

wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/P/PE/PEVANS/Scalar-List-Utils-1.35.tar.gz tar xvzf Scalar-List-Utils-*.tar.gz cd Scalar-List-Utils-* perl Makefile.PL gmake gmake test gmake install |
To test: perl -MCPAN -e ‘shell’ For more information, visit the CPAN Util.pm page. Original Post: http://www.perlmonks.org/?displaytype=print;node_id=965635;replies=1

I had to patch the distribution by adding the following variable into the code: $Config::Auto::Untaint = 1; Here is the fix on AWS Linux: vim /usr/local/share/perl5/CGI/Application/Plugin/ConfigAuto.pm 141 sub cfg { 142 my $self = shift; 143 144 if (!$self->{__CFG}) { 145 require Config::Auto; 146 $Config::Auto::Untaint = 1; (ADD THIS NEW LINE HERE)

For example, to see the version for DBD::mysql, do this: perl -MDBD::mysql -we ‘print $DBD::mysql::VERSION;’
