Free Perl scripts

R

Rainier

Can someone point me to a web site that provides free perl scripts? I've
looked and can find what I need.

I don't know perl and I need a script to list a text file backwards and
write it into another file.

thanks...

Ask Uri. He loves that kind of stuff...

It might be your site - but it's not your code. You forgot to remove the
original author's copyright notice from at least one of the scripts you've
stolen. And, you've left copies of the original README.txt files in two
of the zip files, renamed to README.txt.$$$.

What happened when you searched CPAN for "file backward"?

Oh, it is probably not even _her_ site. My guess is she is a student at
CSF, and got a job setting up web pages for these child care people who are
paying for the server space and bandwidth.

Are you sure you need a Perl script? There's always 'tac'...

Well, no, there's *not* always tac; a lot of commercial Unix releases
don't come with it. I grant you, it's generally not that tough to
drop in, but if you don't have a C compiler and you can't track down a
binary for it. Besides which, the OP hasn't actually defined what
he means by "backwards". The lines in reverse order (which is what
tac does) or the bytes in reverse order (which I believe tac *can't*
do...)?

Where on your site do you answer the question that was asked?

Somewhere near the tutorial:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print ("Hello world");

I for one am firmly convinced this has absolutely nothing to do with a
programming assignment at one of our finer higher educational
institutions. It's certainly disguised well enough to *sound* that way. :)
