On October 1st, Python 2.6 was released on www.python.org. What is the expected upcoming release date for the ActiveState version of python 2.6?

We are very interested in using it when it is available.

I'm a new convert to Komodo from Dreamweaver and so far I'm very pleased with what I've seen Komodo able to do. But there is one thing holding me back from using it on my web projects that I can't seem to figure out.

I'd like to be able to save a file remotely manually, hopefully with just a keystroke.

In Dreamweaver, I would do the following:
1. Work on a file locally
2. Save often
3. When the file was finished, then upload it (using a quick keystroke).

Not able to Debug Perl fork code in komodo 4.4.1 . Can anyone please help out, what steps i need to follow so that i debug the when creating multiple process using fork.Debugger just hangs not sure whether its in child or parent.

Hi,
Rather than run the installer on each of our development computers, we typically copy our development tools to a network file server, then have an update script that ensures that everyone's individual computer has the latest from the server.

I installed ActiveState Perl 5.8.8 via the installer to c:\perl, then copied this to \\server\tools\perl\v5.8.8. The scripts would then copy this from the server to e:\workspace\lib\tools\perl\v5.8.8 in individual computers.

I then rename c:\perl out of the way so I know I'm picking up the e:\workspace... version.

Hi,
What is the best version of ActivePerl to use with Windows 2008? Or is there any version (even alpha/beta) that might work on Windows 2008?

Thanks before

I'm using Komodo at home on Linux, no worries.

Being pleased with that trial, I've installed Komodo on Windows at work, however I continuously get the message "You have exceeded your profile storage space".

Similar problem with Firefox, but I was able to redirect the profile space directory.

For Komodo I've tried overriding "APPDATA" in Preferences, to no avail. I do have administrative rights on the PC, but because of policy it is not an option to increase the size of the default profile storage. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

When installing, there is a screen that says "Choose Setup Options" and there are 7 check boxes. For me, only the first two are checked. The others are disabled and I cannot check them. One of the boxes, "Create .pl script mapping for Perl" is the one I need the most. Why won't it let me check the box? Can anyone help? I've attached a picture of the screen in question. Thanks so much in advance!

Trying to figure out how to do simple XML parsing. Can't figure out what needs to be done with this -- anyone know? (Fresh installation of Active Perl this morning.)

Tia,

jrc

/*----------------------------------------------------*/
Code is here:

# start.p

use XML::Simple;
use DATA::Dumper;

$xml = new XML::Simple;

$infil = "test1.xml";
$val = "opt";

$al = $xml->XMLin($infil, forcearray => 1);
$bl = XMLout($val);

print DUMPER($al);

exit;

/*----------------------------------------------------*/
Error message is here:

I have a perl program, which starts a Windows text mode application every few seconds to poll and output some data. It is quite a simple procedure i have realized with

open(HANDLE, '-|', "$filename parameters"); # use HANDLE to read the output

This works fine under the Komodo IDE. But when i compile the application with PerlApp, this command opens a CMD.EXE window every few seconds in the foreground.

What i already have tested is:

Hi everyone, i'm new in perl and i want to know if it is possible to authenticate users with their domain/windows accounts using activeperl via web? how can this be done?

thanks in advance.
