HPUX O8i ACS 4 PQAs Y2K+ Y? Cost of bandwidth. Will ACS clients ever exist on Palm Pilots. Well I can dream. I can't wait for something cheaper than the current USD$1 per 3K of palm.net<->Palm VII transmissions. One such transmission unit is approximately 40 bytes upstream (from the pilot) and 360 bytes downstream uncompressed*. Scary huh? And since it's not a raw interface to TCP/IP (much is stripped, between you and those tiny radio towers on the hilltop is simply a few UDP packets floating around)--and a pseudo CGI GET, you're expected to get no spontaneous updates from the server. It's a Quid Pro Quo situation. Give something (a preset cgi request) then you get something back (latest cgi response). * To help you visualize 40 bytes upstream (using hash characters to represent ascii text and spaces): ######################################## ** To help you visualize 360 bytes downstream: ######################################## ##################################...
Hola! from the most wired dormatory in America,
In case you were in a cave for the last 5 years, and just now discover a copy of Programming Perl at the entrance--why not read this tip on how to digest it easily.
I thought my CS friends were crazy. Fell asleep to Chapter 2. I dare not even look at the alphabetical Ch. 3 and 7. How can this be the famous tutorial? The problem is simple: it's a bible. Quite literally. No nonsense details, and lots of it. Don't give up. The authors thought of you. There's hope.
Heed Ch. 2's subtle suggestion as to how you might want to use the book as a tutorial:
A. The >contexts< in which Perl language features, basic Perl functions, and core Perl libraries will be used in are not in Ch. 2, 3, or 7--Ch. 4-6 reveals all. Look there instead. Code examples and real world use are simply saved for later. This is a great way to preserve the succinct nature of a deskside reference.
B. Read it ...
