Finding a printer; need help

Wed, 7 May 2008 14:57:08 GMT

Gurus, Anybody know of a Perl module that can tell me 1. If there's a printer physically connected to a parallel (or serial) port on a PC and, 2. what printer it is? I've got a project that wants this info, and I've pretty much gotten nowhere trying to use WMI (unless I've missed something). In one instance, it (WMI) identifies seven printers connected to LPT1:, and says that all of them are in "Idle" status. Anybody want ...

DB_File Module not working

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:39:22 GMT

I'm trying to carry out some remote debugging with some Perl CGI scripts. My Mac with Leopard already had Perl installed but I needed some other Perl modules, including DB_File, so I installed ActivePerl in a separate directory, choosing the default one of /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/bin, and used PPM to install the missing modules. I changed PATH so that this directory came at the beginning. I have a script that checks that the extra modules ...

ActivePerl 822 and Windows GUI look/feel

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:56:05 GMT

activeperl: I am attempting to build a GUI application on XP using ActivePerl 822. It is required that I use/ configure widgets that match the look and feel of native Win32 controls (exactly, or very nearly so). I've played with several GUI toolkit/ framework choices: Tk Win32::GUI Prima Wx Of the four, Tk seems to be the best documented and the defacto standard for Perl GUI development. Both of these ...

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 04:01:32 GMT

perl installation wizard

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 06:02:44 GMT

hey all, I'm not sure I was clear in my last email about what I was looking for - I'm using ActiveState's perl, and perlApp, perlTray, etc. are really cool, but.. what I'm looking for is a perl application which does all of the stuff you'd expect from a self-installing executable: * checks for disk space * picks a installation directory in program files * allows for setup scripts to be run in the install ...

getopt long

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 13:51:14 GMT

I've been under the impression that Getopt::Long is included with most (if not all) distributions of perl. Recently I've encountered a few Activestate versions that don't seem to have it installed. What the current policy with this package - is it included? As of which version did it become standard? Thanks, Mike Ellery _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list ActivePerl To ...
