Comment on Foswiki 1.1.3 Fast CGI installation by Laufeyjarson

I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with the installation. Considering I have no idea how your web host is set up, what problems you are having, and am not a Foswiki expert, I don’t think I can help you.

Try CGI mode, and being polite and asking specific questions on the IRC channel.

It’s all I can suggest from here.

Hello,

I am going crazy trying to install foswiki on my site. Have been to our web guys and the foswiki IRC channel etc but no help yet. Could you please help me with the installation or at least some guidance on what could be going wrong.
Thanks.

Comment on Can’t really override open()? by Laufeyjarson

And now, no, I can’t get it to work either. I tried Perl 5.10.0, as installed by Apple, and a clean install of 5.12.3. It’s something I’m doing wrong, not Perl.

The suggestions in the comments above were enough to get me unblocked.

I’m on a wildly different machine now, and can’t get the open() replacement called. Hrm. Let me fiddle with it…

Hey Laufey, did you find a way that works?

I’m trying to do the same thing in Perl 5.12.3 and am at my wits’ end

Assuming at least ‘use strict’ in above example (at least “we” use that around here).

I ran into a classic case @work of why lexical fh’s are better (e.g.):

open(SOMEFILE, “> $file”) or die “Fail: $!”;
while (…) {
print SOMEFILE “$stuff\n”;
}

close SOMEFH;

system(“do_something_with $file”);

When the error was found, I pointed out the “better” way to do it which would avoid the problem in the first place, and I’ve still failed to change anyone’s habit.

Thank you very much ‘wpns’, updating the date on my VirtualMachine did the trick and the installation of Bundle::CPAN worked fine.
