Perl6 though IIS7 CGI

Hi All,
I know this is a bit off topic, but I couldn't think of a list that
would have as much IIS/CGI knowledge as you guys.

I'm trying to get the latest build of Rakudo Perl 6 to run as a CGI
through IIS7 on my Vista32 machine.

At first I thought it might be something in my code, but after trying
several things I tried it under Apache on the same machine and it worked
fine. It's a very basic hello script:-

#!c:/temp/rakudo/perl6.exe

$*ERR = open("C:/inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/perl6/err.txt", :w);
my $crlf = "\x[0D]\x[0A]";
$*OUT.say( "Content-Type: text/html$crlf$crlf" );
$*OUT.say( 'hello' );
#$*ERR.say( 'hello' );

I've had problems in the past with IIS treating STDERR the same as
STDOUT, which is why I've redirected it to a file to see if any errors
were coming out (which there aren't).

I thought things might not be going to STDOUT for some reason which is
why the content-type, etc, is sent explicitly to $*OUT. But this made no
difference.

The Perl6.exe file is configured in IIS in exactly the same way as Perl.exe.

If I run this through the browser I get a 502 error. If I run it on the
command prompt it returns the headers as expected. If I uncomment the
#$*ERR.say( 'hello' ); on the end and run through the browser then
err.txt is being filled with 'hello' so I know the script it definitely
being executed.

I can't figure out why IIS isn't picking up the headers? It doesn't seem
to be picking up any of the program output as it says headers returned
were "".

I've started a thread on the IIS.net forum about this as well:-

http://forums.iis.net/p/1156635/1899524.aspx

Jan, I know you did an awful lot of the work to get Perl 5 working well
under IIS. Is there anything that springs to mind that Perl6 needs to be
doing for this to work?

Re: Perl6 though IIS7 CGI

I think he meant Jan did a lot of the really hard work and is calling awful
the hard part, the nasty part that needed work, not the work Jan
accomplished. But yes, just as it is now, seems like he called awful a lot
of Jan's work. Not with that intention, I want to think.

Lyle,

I havent played too much with perl6 or IIS7, but I would hazard a guess that
the open on err.txt is failing. Have you tried a bare bones version without
opening any files? i.e. just printing out the Content-Type and hello with
say without any filehandles prepended.

Xiao,

Awful in this context means that there was a lot of work done. Lyle is
actually complementing Jan on his hard work believe it or not!

You guys are complicating it - awful can be used to just mean an intensifier -
like 'amazing', etc.

adv : used as intensifiers; "terribly interesting"; "I'm awful
sorry" [syn: {terribly}, {awfully}, {frightfully}]

Just substitute 'awful lot' => 'a whole bunch'.

PERL Pattern matching

Hi all,
I have a requirement to match a file against a number of possible
strings.
I also need to retain the successfully matching elements, and based on
the match from the primary list, see if a corresponding secondary match
is also in the file.

E.g.. Picture the list below

A B
---------
1 a
2 b
3 c
4 d
5 e
6 f

I need to match any of the first column in the file, and for any matches
in the first row match the corresponding entry for the second column.
So if I match 3 and 5 in the file, I rescan and see if I can match c or
e in the same file.

Here is a snippet of how I am matching anything from column A, and then
rescanning for only corresponding entries from column B.
Is there a more efficient method than what I am doing here?

while()
{
foreach my $string (@strings)
{
if (grep /$string/i, $_)
{
$primary =++$primary;
if (!grep /$string/i,
@matchindex){push(@matchindex, "$string");}
print gmtime()."\"$file\" matched on primary -
$string\n";
}
}
}
close(FILE);
if (@matchindex)
{
# GetSecondaries() Reads array to get 2nd column entries for
primary matches by splitting row on seperators
my @matches = GetSecondaries(@matchindex);
open(FILE, $file);
LOOP: while()
{
foreach my $string (@matches)
{
if (grep /$string/i, $_)
{
$secondarycounter = ++$secondarycounter;
print gmtime()."********\t: Also matched
on secondary - $string\n";
logger("$string,$file"); #
Logs output to a log file
last LOOP;
}
}
}
close(FILE);

I started with a very simple script, that didn't work. I added in the
extra stuff to see what is going on. The open on err.txt is working to
as the file gets written to. As far as I can tell it executes and
completes as it should, just IIS doesn't pickup any of the output. This
is what I started with:-

#!c:/temp/rakudo/perl6.exe
say( "Content-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n" );
say( 'hello' );


As I said, they all work on Vista/Apache.

I doubt your data is as simplistic as you describe which is why I miss
the point of 'rescanning' the data for a 2nd time after the first
match. Based on your example is there a possibility that say 3 from
column A could relate to anything other than 'c'?

Looking at your sample the i modifier in the grep in the foreach is a
prime candidate for hashes and the exists function. Have a look at
perldsc which may give you some ideas of how your data structure
should really appear.

If that doesn't help and the others on the list can't see what you're
after then sanitise some of the real data (I'm sure its confidential
looking at your e-mail address ; ) and re-describe the end desired
result - which most probably involves account numbers and the amount
of times they have used their debit facility : p

Thanks for the response. I am scanning randomly formatted text files to see=
if any of the elements in column A appear. For those that do appear, I am =
rescanning the file for the corresponding values in column B. In some cases=
there are multiple matches in column B for a value in column A, but I mana=
ge that using the function GetSecondaries() that is not included, but this =
element is working fine (accurately and quickly) from debugging it previous=
ly.

The reason for the rescan is that using the while() read statement I =
am already at the end of the file when I know how many matches for column A=
I have, and for all matches I have to rescan the file for the related valu=
es in column B. I need to know all matches for col. A before I can rescan f=
or column B matches.

Part of the issue may be that I have 130 "pairs" of data to scan for. Howev=
er the analysis on a 2 MB file is taking 70 seconds, just on column A value=
s, so that suggests grepping against the $_ variable while reading the file=
is not economic. My server is a new Win2003 file server with 3GB RAM and 4=
CPU so hardware performance should really not be a bottleneck. Perl seems =
to sit on one CPU looking at task manager, the CPU usage doesn't exceed 25%=
(RAM utilisation is also very little).

What I guess I am really hoping for is a more economic method to read the f=
ile and match any of the 130 primary elements of the array against the file=
, but retain the matching values for re-use in the 2nd loop. =

Perhaps grep is not the most appropriate mechanism to use for this type of =
retrieval?

It is an unusual request I agree. What I can do is generate a test data fil=
e and upload the whole script & data file for completeness if this is any u=
se in clarifying what I am trying to achieve..

Ok. Have you considered Tie::File? You could use a data structure
where column A is your key and the value is composed of the count of
column A, a corresponding value (or a list of values) for column B,
and a list (if necessary) of all line numbers (well array indices for
Tie::File) where column A occurs.

2MB is trivial for that amount of hardware and even though I'm still
confused by your code I'd say that the foreach grep ignore case
negated grep ignore case would be far better off being replaced by a
hash and an exists call.

Probably, but if it works, and is fast enough, why bother.

So, assuming that it isn't fast enough (not sure if it works, as I am
not sure if I understand what you are trying to do), here is where I get
to pick holes in your code. (:-) in cast it isn't obvious).

First, I realise that this is just a code fragment, but you do have "use
strict; use warnings;" at the start, don't you? If not consider this the
first comment. Note that Outlook has decided to wrap some of your lines.

grep is wasted here. "if (/$string/i)" is more Perl-ish. Also it would
probably be more efficient to perform a single match for the whole set
of strings, than multiple matches for each one. See below.

> {
> $primary =++$primary;

Weird! What's wrong with just "++$primary;". That's the equivalent of
saying "$primary += 1; $primary = $primary".

> if (!grep /$string/i,
> @matchindex){push(@matchindex, "$string");}

That's more appropriate use of grep, but your quoting of $string is
unnecessary. Useless quoting is generally frowned upon.

No need to close the file here.

You could just seek back to the beginning of the file rather than open
the file again. Also, you should always check that the open call was
successful.

As above.

Are you sure about that? You exit from the loop after the very first
secondary match. What about the others?

> }

If my guess about what you are trying to do is right, the following
might be a bit more efficient.

-------------------------------------------------------
use strict;
use warnings;
use Fcntl qw{:seek};

my %match_table = (1 => "a",
2 => "b",
3 => "c",
4 => "d",
5 => "e",
6 => "f");

my $fn = shift;
die "Expecting filename\n" unless $fn;

open my $fd, "<", $fn or die "Failed to open $fn: $!\n";

my @primaries = find_matches($fd, sort keys %match_table);
@primaries > 0 or die "No primaries found in $fn\n";
print "Found primaries: @primaries\n";

seek $fd, 0, SEEK_SET or die "Failed to seek: $!\n";
$. = undef;

my @secondaries = find_matches($fd, sort @match_table{@primaries});
@secondaries > 0 or die "No secondaries found\n";
print "Found secondaries: @secondaries\n";

close $fd;

sub find_matches {
my $fd = shift;
my @strings = @_;
my @matches;
return () unless @strings > 0;
my $matchRE = makeRE(@strings);
print "Start looking at line $.\n";
while (<$fd>) {
if (/($matchRE)/i) {
my $match_str = $1;
push @matches, $match_str;
@strings = grep {$_ ne $match_str} @strings;
$matchRE = makeRE(@strings);
# No point continuing if nothing left to look for
last unless $matchRE;
}
}
print "Stopped looking at line $.\n";
return @matches;
}

# Make regexp to match a list of words.
sub makeRE {
return undef unless @_ > 0;
my $str = join "|", map {"(?:$_)"} @_;
return qr{$str};
}
-------------------------------------------------------

You may be able to do better with a single pass through the file,
depending upon the size of your file and the table of strings you are
looking for.

Re: Perl6 though IIS7 CGI

Let's put this issue to rest. As Bill Luebkert said in a previous response, "awful" was being used as an intensifier.

An adverb which is used to modify adjectives and adverbs, but which is not usually used to modify verbs, can be referred to as an intensifier. In the following examples, the intensifiers are surrounded by *s.
e.g.,
I am *very* happy.
The film was *quite* good.
You did that *rather* well.
Must you leave *so* soon?
Jan did an *awful* lot of work.

The *intensifiers* carry little or no meaning by themselves in these sentences. Their purpose is to INTENSIFY or accentuate, or highlight, the adjective or adverb they are attached to.

One might say "This pen writes *awfully* well." This would mean that the pen writes *very* well. It does NOT mean that the pen writes awfully because, when used as an intensifier, the word carries no meaning.

The following words are commonly used as intensifiers:

awful
damn
fairly
quite
rather
really (informal)
so
too
very

I don't know IIS from a hole in the ground, so just to check. I suspect
that IIS might not honour the '#!' *nix magic as, I believe, Apache
does, so have you configured it to run the appropriate Perl executable?

Thanks for that, your makeRE function had great benefit performance
wise, but your other pointers are also appreciated, aswell as the time
you took to write the script at the bottom.
I got the scan on a sample file from 80 seconds down to 5 using this and
other tuning you suggested. I have 140 strings in column A, aswell as
multiple possible match strings in column B per row, which is why I
couldn't use a hash.

My input file is more like :-
Column A Column B
--------------------
[White] [dog]
[Black] [cat]
[Grey] [fox,cow] (match on grey and either fox or cow)

Thanks also to Justin and Martin for responding, all have provided
useful tips!

I don't think the shebang line is pertinent. You do have to associate
..pl files with CGI somehow in IIS (never used it) I believe. I think
IIS requires the status header ("HTTP/1.0 200 OK\n") prior to the
content-type. Not sure if that's the issue though.

RE: Perl6 though IIS7 CGI

For what it's worth, these comments from Bill Cole have saved me repeatedly
over the years (since Oct 31, 2003), when dealing with Windows, IIS and CGI.
Hope they help you too.

Dave,

I don't know if you are running it from the command line or in the browser.
Here are a few things to check:

*Make sure that IIS is running :Control Panel>Add/Remove programs>Add/Remove
Windows Components>Indexing Service>Internet Information Services(IIS)
options

*Make sure that you have permissions to run scripts in the given
folder:Right click folder>Properties>Web Sharing/Share this folder>check
Read, Script Source Access and check Scripts application button.

*File extension associations:C:>Tools>Folder Options>File Types>New>Type
CGI>Advanced>Associate with Perl File>OK

*Associate Perl extensions w/perl interpreter to run scripts in browser:
Choose Administrative Tools from Control panel>Computer Management>Services
and Applications>Internet Information Services>Expand Default Web Site
folder>Right click cgi-bin, click Properties>Click Virtual Directory tab if
necessary and click the Configuration ... button. Scroll until you see the
..pl extension info, click the Edit button and swlect the Script Engine
option. Also deselect the Check that file exists option, if necessary.
Click OK. Click the Add button. In the Executable box, type
C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe "%s" %s. In the extension box type.cgi. Select the
Limit to button, then type GET, HEAD, POST. If necessary selectScript
Engine option. Click OK.Click OK.Click OK.

I know this is kind of lengthy, but it is a checklist I went through just a
few days ago.

Regards,

Bill Cole

Re: Perl6 though IIS7 CGI

Update: This is a parrot/IIS issue.

Yes I've set the correct script mapping. The script is actually running,
IIS just isn't getting the output.

Install Truly Random from CPAN when not listed in the ppm search

Hello! I am trying to install the Math::TrulyRandom
(http://search.cpan.org/~gary/Math-TrulyRandom-1.0/TrulyRand om.pod)
using ppm but it is not located in the search option to install. How
would I install this so my local perl recognizes this new perl program?
I do have the .gz file from the website above. I am using perl 5.8 on
Windows XP.

Thanks,

Re: Perl6 though IIS7 CGI

Hi,
I've worked with the parrot people and we've (mostly they) found and
fixed the problem.

When calling a CGI script without any POST data IIS doesn't allow STDIN
to be opened. Parrot was trying to open STDIN then crashing before it
got anywhere near opening and printing to STDOUT. This has now be
remedied and should be fixed in future versions of parrot.

Now I can finally get on with my Perl 6 CGI scripting guides ;)

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and input.


Lyle

It's an XS module, so you would need to compile it yourself (which might mean
compiling Perl and everything else too unless you use a compatible compiler).
Alternatively, you could ask Randy if he has time to add it to his PPM repos:
randy@theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca

MinGW is usually compatible:-

.... or try compiling it yourself using Strawberry Perl [1]. You might
be able to get it to work by installing it with Strawberry's "cpan",
since it comes with its own C compiler and build tools.

That might not be enough, though; according to CPAN Testers
reports[2], Math-TrulyRandom has problems being installed on multiple
platforms. Maybe you could look for another modules which has been
better tested?

cheers,
