Here are some Perl scripts that I coded years ago, when I was
just starting with Perl. They just work, even if the code is not
so pretty.
- mail-lib.pl - If you submit a lot
of email thru the scripts you will want to use this library,
since it uses SMTP to talk directly to the mailhost and
you don't get the overhead of loading a client mail program
like sendmail each time you send email.
Check if you have
SMTP running by 'telnet mailhost 25' on Unices, replace
mailhost with your mailhost server, in many cases it would be
the name of your server.
- cgidie-lib.pl - This little lib
assigns a subroutine to SIG{__DIE__} so when something wrong
happens during the run of your script, you will not get the
ugly "Error Occured" message but a nice html with
complete information: what was the error, where the
script was called from and other parameters, and the most
important with email link so user can easily report to you
about it and include all the info you will ever need to locate
the error.
Also you will not need that custom Cgierror()
subroutine people use everywhere. just use die() and it'll
produce the same thing as you did with Cgierror() but with no
extra coding.
It also knows to handle the shell vs browser
mode. so if you debug the script from shell you will never see
the html around the error but the sole error message
- ls2html.pl- script to create
index.html recursively in all subdirectories to include all
images so you can view all of them at once. You can modify the
maching patten to collect any type of the files. This is also
a good example of making recursive scripts just write your own
subroutine to do something for each dir/file and you can run
it recursively now.
- replace.pl- script to replace
pieces of code in sequence of files (options: -case
insensitive/sensitive, -global ,-backup the original file
- condense.pl - Script to remove
the redundant empty lines (generally when you turn html file
to text file)
- hex2bin.pl - Converts hex number
to binary representation and prints each hex symbol as XXXX
binary
- parg2html.pl - Converts input
file with paragraphs of text separated by newlines into set of
files named pattern.DD.html one paragraph per file packed in
standard html headers. where DD is the number of the
paragraph
- setrights.pl - Runs recursilvely
on one of your dirs and sets regular files access modes and
directories access modes. You can change the modes by
modifying the patterns.
- tagstrip.pl - Strips HTML
<TAG>s from html files. It's not 100% works yet, but
it's better than doing it by hand. (It makes troubles when you
have recursive <!-- <TAG > -->)
- imgextract.pl - This program
extracts image path/filename from your html source and prints
it out the sorted and unique results As well supposed that
your system has "uniq" and "sort"
utilities. (was written when starting using perl so no
internal function has been used) Now program supports
following patterns: <IMG SRC=""> and <BODY
BACKGROUND="">
- findpat.pl - Script that browses
recursively all the dirs down the one you have called from
Finds all the pattern occurencies you need, Prints the name of
the file with relative path, lines where is has found and the
lines themselves
- fixhtml.pl - Breaks lines with
\n after each ">" closing tag (except
">\n") So you can read the source of the html
file if someone produced it with cgi which spit all in one
line.
- recurs.pl - This script executes
recursively on subdirs the command you supply as a parameter
Scripts by Other Authors.
- rename.pl- (by Larry Wall)
Does mv *.c *.cc by rename.pl s/\.c/\.cc/ *.c
- traceroute.pl - (by Marc
Spitzler) Does Ping and Traceroute thru CGI (you
will need CGI.pm)
