Hi,
I was wondering why ls * | echo does not print the contents of the directory to the screen? The way I see it, ls * returns a whole lot of information, and then we pipe all this info to echo, so surely it should all come to our screen!
Is there a serious flaw in my understanding?

I am attempting to continuously read a file that is being updated by doing a "tail -f" on the file and piping the output to stdin which can then be read by the next shell command

apache::session::oracle
Session::Oracle(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Session::Oracle(3)
NAME
Apache::Session::Oracle - An implementation of Apache::Session
SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Session::Oracle;
#if you want Apache::Session to open new DB handles:
tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Oracle', $id, {
DataSource => 'dbi:Oracle:sessions',
UserName => $db_user,
Password => $db_pass,
Commit => 1
};
#or, if your handles are already opened:
tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Oracle', $id, {
Handle => $dbh,
Commit => 1
};
DESCRIPTION
This module is an implementation of Apache::Session. It uses the Oracle backing store and no locking. See the example, and the
documentation for Apache::Session::Store::Oracle for more details.
USAGE
The special Apache::Session argument for this module is Commit. You MUST provide the Commit argument, which instructs this module to
either commit the transaction when it is finished, or to simply do nothing. This feature is provided so that this module will not have
adverse interactions with your local transaction policy, nor your local database handle caching policy. The argument is mandatory in order
to make you think about this problem.
This module also respects the LongReadLen argument, which specifies the maximum size of the session object. If not specified, the default
maximum is 8 KB.
AUTHOR
This module was written by Jeffrey William Baker <jwbaker@acm.org>.
