Last night I installed Perl 5.16.1 in /usr/local/ and immediately encountered problems when I tried to install and update modules using CPAN. The error is copied below. I could see no solution to the problem and was expecting a very tiresome late night, until by some stroke of luck I thought of trying cpanplus to install the modules and to install CPAN itself. You can imagine my relief when this worked, and now CPAN runs without a hitch.

[snip] Hi, Bruce. I remember the LWP question well... I've always formatted my OS X drives case-insensitive & never had a problem 'til about a week ago when I tried to install Mojolicious which failed because the installer was looking for `Users` & found `users`. Brought up the problem with the developer via a GitHub issue & he basically just said it was case issue & there was nothing he could do about it (it installed fine on both my Linux boxes). So at a strike rate of just one fail strictly on case sensistivity/insensitivity I think I'll stick with what I've got.

Somewhere along the line I came to believe that I should set up my system with the boot drive formatted as Max OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled). Emphasis here on "Case-sensitive". My question is: Is this practice (still) needed? Background ---------- I started doing this after some discussions on this list several years ago; the issue was that some Perl modules assume(d) file-system case-sensitivity. For example, here's a quote from a message by Ari Kahn on Mar 8 2002: "... difficulties when installing a software package that was designed for a case-sensitive system. For example, libwww-perl by default installs an HTTP script called HEAD, which is used to make an HTTP HEAD request. If this is installed to /usr/bin, it can overwrite the BSD built-in /usr/bin/head command, used for reading the beginnings of files. To prevent this kind of collision when using HFS+, it's necessary to configure CPAN.pm to install modules to a private directory. " I didn't choose the recommended solution at the time of always installing CPAN modules in a private directory. Instead, every time I formatted a new boot drive, I made it case-sensitive. Over the years this has caused a few difficulties, particularly with some commercial software such as Quark Xpress refusing to install, but I only use case-sensitive formatting on my dev machine, so it's not usually a problem. I am about to set up a Mac Mini OS X 10.7 server as a new dev machine, and am wondering whether I still need to re-format as case-sensitive before proceeding. I'd like to avoid the limitations of case-sensitivity if possible. If I format as case-INsensitive, will CPAN now help me do the right thing? Thanks. - Bruce _bruce__van_allen__santa_cruz_ca_ http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.macosx/2012/01/msg10998.html Sun, 15 Jan 2012 12:42:51 +0000 Re: SQLite over MySQL? by merlyn >>>>> "Eberhard" == Eberhard W Lisse <nospam@lisse.NA> writes: Eberhard> I beg to differ, if one writes Perl code (and even if one only Eberhard> dabbles like the elderly Gynaecologist writing this) one can figure out Eberhard> how to set up and run mysql, which in my case involves fink or even Eberhard> PostgreSQL which now comes with Lion.

The problem is not knowledge of how to set up MySQL, but that MySQL is not the the thing to set up. At a minimum, if you need MySQL, install MariaDB. If you need an actual database, consider whether SQLite will do, or whether you need more power, in which case, install PostgreSQL. -- Randal L.

I am using Perl5.12 under Lion. I am finding that I cannot install term::screen or Cursres. I get a pile of compiling errors. So what modules should I use to clear the screen in Perl under MAC Lion? On this topic. I am trying to build a menu. I was wondering how difficult is it to create a very simple GUI interface? Can you access the Xcode libraries do do this? I am fairly new to Perl and want to expand my knowledge/skill. I have created a very simple database. The interface has up to 4 levels of menus. Such as: Main menu | -- Insert records | | |- transaction menu -- select month -- display result. | | |-- budget report menu -- display result | | |-- create and update categories. | | exit My current menu is very basic. Any tips on making this a GUI or better Text menu I would be greatful. The biggest challenge is that I have to make it accessible for the user who is going to use the program. They are blind and use voice-over. They cannot use other MAC accounting apps because they are not acccessible.

This list is for MacPerl, which is perl on the old pre-Mac OS X Mac systems. The list you probably want is at macosx@perl.org . I really shouldn't forward this to that list, but I will. As far as your question is concerned, I'm not familiar with SQLite, but it looks to me like your problem is not Mac OS X related. You might want to check your table definition again.

Configure -d does not find the prototypes for gethostent and shmatprototype. In the case of gethostent, it looks like configure is finds netdb.h but the call to $hasproto is fails. Some of the relevant output from Configure: gethostbyaddr() found. gethostbyname() found. gethostent() found. gethostname() found. uname() found. Every now and then someone has a gethostname() that lies about the hostname but can't be fixed for political or economic reasons. If you wish, I can pretend gethostname() isn't there and maybe compute hostname at run-time thanks to the 'hostname' command. Shall I ignore gethostname() from now on? [n] gethostbyaddr_r() NOT found. gethostbyname_r() NOT found. gethostent_r() NOT found. gethostent() prototype NOT found. shmctl() found. shmget() found. shmat() found. and it returns (void *). Hmm. Based on the hints in hints/darwin.sh, the recommended value for $d_shmatprototype on this machine was "define"! Keep the recommended value? [y] shmdt() found. I can get perl to compile by setting these 2 to 'define' in config.sh but one of the locale test cases fails, or so it seems: # The following locales <snip locale list> # tested okay. # # None of your locales were broken. ../lib/ locale.t ..................................................

Yes, provided you are using the Perl Apple installed or, which is most unlikely from what you have said, a version you have installed in /usr/local. Make sure you have installed the Developer Tools from your Mac OS X disks, without which you won't be able to compile the modules. Then, in Terminal, type sudo cpan and you will be asked for info needed to set up CPAN for use. You can choose to have prerequisites installed for modules, and I think this is the default. Once you are set up, then installing modules is very straightforward. Just type sudo cpan and then install Some::Module When you have finished with CPAN make sure always to do exit or q To exit to the bash shell otherwise you will have problems with a locked file.

This text from [SQLite's site][1] sums it up nicely: There are advantages and disadvantages to being serverless. The main advantage is that there is no separate server process to install, setup, configure, initialize, manage, and troubleshoot. This is one reason why SQLite is a "zero-configuration" database engine. Programs that use SQLite require no administrative support for setting up the database engine before they are run. Any program that is able to access the disk is able to use an SQLite database. On the other hand, a database engine that uses a server can provide better protection from bugs in the client application - stray pointers in a client cannot corrupt memory on the server. And because a server is a single persistent process, it is able to control database access with more precision, allowing for finer grain locking and better concurrency. You access SQLite DBs in Perl the same way as MySQL DBs, with a DBD module using the DBI. The primary difference is that the entire DB engine is contained within the DBD::SQLite module. There is no setup, you just say #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use DBI; my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=foo.db", "", ""); and if the file foo.db didn't exist already, it is created. That is it; you have a database now. That said, it doesn't provide some things you might expect. So far as I know, it provides no security layer. there is no username or password to connect, no users own tables (and therefore there are no privileges to grant). The database does no type checking. If you declare a column as being an integer, there is nothing to stop you from storing a string in it (this is a simplification of its dynamic typing, but an integer column can contain "fred").

I am sure perlbrew has its uses but I have a poor memory and if I install things in the usual places I can more easily find the answers to my problems.

Yes, first I was installing mysql, 64-bit, immediately after DBI, and than DBD::mysql, with some dirty tricks (see my first posting). And I have only one mysql installed on my HD ... MIA - I was googeling this abbreviation. Does it mean "Miami Dolphins" or "Miami Airport"? Sorry for this question, but some times there are not only native speakers in such kind of mailing list. Should I start over again, install everything for the 40th time?

I am installing since one year now all possible variants of this software, 32-bit, 64-bit. I am trying same time to install DBI module and DBD::mysql over it. DBI is installing always without any problem. But DBD::mysql only with many tricks. And the reason to change my one and a half year laptop, was also these troubles between 32-bit and 64-bit software, and all this Perl mess. Probably you are right: I should learn an other Database. Or should I switch to PHP? mysql daemon is running, when I start my script. The Database webdb is created: $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:host=localhost;database=webdb", "webdev","webdevpass", and there are four entries in "teams" ... $sth = $dbh->prepare ("SELECT name, wins, losses FROM teams"); Thank you!

This aroused my curiosity because I have to switch some Perl programs written long ago with various flat-file data tables accessed via howe-brew parsing to something more transferable. None of my uses has more than a few hundred thousand records, and most have far fewer. Would you care to say a bit more about your preference? Do you use the Perl DBI with SQLite? If something that reflects your views can be read elsewhere, please point. CAUTION: I'm not interested in enflaming a huge debate about the merits and demerits of these and other database systems, their developers, companies that "own" them, etc. Just a bit of practical curiosity...

DBD::mysql can't load, because it's linked against libmysqlclient.18.dylib, and that .dylib is MIA - that's the problem.
