XNThe string "\033" would be converted to what?

yes, on the first line I wrote "(if possible)", as you guess right,
this is not possible.
But for example (I write DEC numbers):
128 -c
129 -u
130 -e
and so on (http://www.lookuptables.com/)

So I guess I'm looking for some conversion table, if this is not done,
I will create one, but never do this before, don't know what to use
:( hm, maybe tr will help here

Yeah, looks like you need some kind of conversion table, but I still
do no understand the problem to solve. Can you be more specific? Do
you have examples of actual inputs and their corresponding conversions?

this is selfexplain: http://www.lookuptables.com/
when the character is possible to convert to something printable, I
can write conversion (161 -i), but for example 241 has no printable
character, so it should be space or nothing.

As I look to these codes, I found around 36 characters, which I should
convert.

And need for this? I'm sending to client some file, but name of
attachment is created from database. In DB I have iso-8859-1
characters, which looks ugly (I don't know client's encoding, I don't
know how to encode filename of attachment), so I just want send
clear characters

, there are not enough details to provide actual code, but I think
you'll be done with tr///, it is documented in perlop.

Hi All,
I am trying to install perl modules locally since I dont have a
root aceess. I installed a local version of perl. However I
am having problems installing modules:

ExtUtils::AutoInstall 0.49 required. Install it from CPAN? [Y/n] y
Installing ExtUtils::AutoInstall
Password:

It asks me for the password when I use MCPAN (perl -MCPAN -e shell) to
install it.

this is what my male_pl_arg looks like:

makepl_arg PREFIX=/ws/ifp-22/scratch/Perl

INSTALLBIN= /ws/ifp-22/scratch/Perl/bin

Whats is going wrong ?

thanks,
Mandar

Mandar:

Download the module's source code and install the module manually but
modify the installation location by providing Makefile.PL the PREFIX=
argument. i.e.,

%perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/your/home/dir
%make
%make test
%make install
