| synth | well he said reference so :) thats THE reference |
| Randal | welcome to the loony bin |
| mrpengu1n | i need a reference |
| synth | not a how to |
| amnesiac | bullshit |
| Caelum | mrpengu1n: you can also read all the perl and CPAN module docs on http://search.cpan.org/ |
| Randal | but you should use "perldoc" instead type "perldoc" at your command-line |
| mrpengu1n | perldoc then what |
| synth | entterrrr |
| Randal | "perldoc perl" |
| hobbs | mrpengu1n: perldoc perldoc, then perldoc perl or perldoc perltoc. Also, "Programming Perl" is partly reference and "Perl in a Nutshell" is mostly reference |
| Randal | "perldoc perldoc" for starts |
| mrpengu1n | the problem with pdfs on linux is it sucks compared to acrobat are there any good pdf viewers |
| Randal | Preview.app |
| mrpengu1n | for instance, i cant even get the list view like acrobat has instead i always get images on the left bar |
| Randal | but you have to upgrade to OSX |
| simcop2387 | kpdf isn't bad, there's also acrobat for linux, and a few others |
| hobbs | mrpengu1n: you mean a TOC? |
| mrpengu1n | ya basically |
| QtPlatypus | gvv is not a bad reader, unless you wish to print. |
| mrpengu1n | my pdf viewer has no TOC on the left |
| hobbs | mrpengu1n: if you have "the images on the left", you see where it says "thumbnails"? click "contents" instead. (Sounds like KPDF anyway) |
| mrpengu1n | im using kpdf |
| babagump_ | I was wondering what putting a \ in front of a variable means? |
| kers | mrpengu1n, go buy a book |
| simcop2387 | mrpengu1n: ah cool let me go look up what to do, its been a while :) |
| gnube | The issue is passing $anything to the shell when $anything comes from the command line. f00li5h, Ah yes, now I remember. Thanks@ |
| nahasa | is there anything wrong with this perl program http://textpaste.net/grfqr4 |
| f00li5h | gnube: when $anything comes from /the user/ using -T will tell you when you do that |
| Randal | perlbot, paste > nahasa |
| snow_ru | f00li5h, very bad coder |
| Randal | nahasa - did you write the code? |
| nahasa | ya |
| f00li5h | snow_ru: where? |
