Pausing function with Perl
Hi all,
I got the request to make a Perl script with the requirements as follow:
1. Make a program that just shows the time, a clock on the format 12:01:24.
2. When someone press key combination Ctrl -p the program should pause, ie the clock will stand still. When the Ctrl - p is pressed the second time the clock will start again.
I am a newbie in Perl & programming, so it's kind of a big job for me. Highly appreciate your support/advice.
Thanks alot.
Milo

xmlrpcsh
XMLRPCSH(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation XMLRPCSH(1p)
NAME
XMLRPCsh - Interactive shell for XMLRPC calls
SYNOPSIS
perl XMLRPCsh http://betty.userland.com/RPC2
> examples.getStateName(2)
> examples.getStateNames(1,2,3,7)
> examples.getStateList([1,9])
> examples.getStateStruct({a=>1, b=>24})
> Ctrl-D (Ctrl-Z on Windows)
or
# all parameters after uri will be executed as methods
perl XMLRPCsh http://betty.userland.com/RPC2 examples.getStateName(2)
> Ctrl-D (Ctrl-Z on Windows)
DESCRIPTION
XMLRPCsh is a shell for making XMLRPC calls. It takes one parameter, endpoint (actually it will tell you about it if you try to run it).
Additional commands can follow.
After that you'll be able to run any methods of XMLRPC::Lite, like autotype, readable, etc. You can run it the same way as you do it in
your Perl script. You'll see output from method, result of XMLRPC call, detailed info on XMLRPC faulure or transport error.
For full list of available methods see documentation for XMLRPC::Lite.
Along with methods of XMLRPC::Lite you'll be able (and that's much more interesting) run any XMLRPC methods you know about on remote server
and see processed results. You can even switch on debugging (with call something like: "on_debug(sub{print@_})") and see XMLRPC code with
headers sent and received.
