yea i know what you mean about perl and it not complaining but i guess that's the reason for the rant. perl doesn't care about my 'critical' step in the code. but i'm not lazy, i'll figure it out some way.
I tried to simplify the output as you suggested in both examples but for some reason my browser just spins when I try to load the page even with the system call commented out. I had to kill this on my box.
Looking at the man, i tried to follow but got lost at `$?`
Quote:
You can check all the failure possibilities by inspecting $?
like this:
if ($? == -1) {
print "failed to execute: $!\n";
}
elsif ($? & 127) {
printf "child died with signal %d, %s coredump\n",
($? & 127), ($? & 128) ? 'with' : 'without';
}
else {
printf "child exited with value %d\n", $? >> 8;
}
So my next task is to learn how to take this tidbit to test this and any other future shell scripts against perl. My command 'hellow' still works fine when typed directly into the cl. I forgot to mention that the hellow.sh was copied, moved, and exported into my shell env ~/home/root/bin.. that's why i'm somewhat dumbfounded... pwd works but hellow doesn't still and i'm clueless. I'm hoping that testing it in perl with the code above might give me some more info. Need some input on what to put where. Should i just replace all `?` to `hellow`??
Hello,
I have a problem with trying to run a shell script that reads in user input, validates, and sets to a 'default' value if the input is not valid. I cannot get the portion of resetting to a default value to work. These lines are skipped, and the

test::tcp
Test::TCP(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::TCP(3pm)NAME
Test::TCP - testing TCP program
SYNOPSIS
use Test::TCP;
my $server = Test::TCP->new(
code => sub {
my $port = shift;
...
},
);
my $client = MyClient->new(host => '127.0.0.1', port => $server->port);
undef $server; # kill child process on DESTROY
Using memcached:
use Test::TCP;
my $memcached = Test::TCP->new(
code => sub {
my $port = shift;
exec $bin, '-p' => $port;
die "cannot execute $bin: $!";
},
);
my $memd = Cache::Memcached->new({servers => ['127.0.0.1:' . $memcached->port]});
...
And functional interface is available:
use Test::TCP;
test_tcp(
client => sub {
my ($port, $server_pid) = @_;
# send request to the server
},
server => sub {
my $port = shift;
# run server
},
);
DESCRIPTION
Test::TCP is test utilities for TCP/IP programs.
METHODS
empty_port
my $port = empty_port();
Get the available port number, you can use.
test_tcp
Functional interface.
test_tcp(
client => sub {
my $port = shift;
# send request to the server
},
server => sub {
my $port = shift;
# run server
},
# optional
port => 8080
);
wait_port
wait_port(8080);
Waits for a particular port is available for connect.
OO-ish interface
my $server = Test::TCP->new(%args);
Create new instance of Test::TCP.
Arguments are following:
$args{auto_start}: Boolean
Call "$server->start()" after create instance.
Default: true
$args{code}: CodeRef
The callback function. Argument for callback function is: "$code->($pid)".
This parameter is required.
$server->start()
Start the server process. Normally, you don't need to call this method.
$server->stop()
Stop the server process.
my $pid = $server->pid();
Get the pid of child process.
my $port = $server->port();
Get the port number of child process.
FAQ
How to invoke two servers?
You can call test_tcp() twice!
test_tcp(
client => sub {
my $port1 = shift;
test_tcp(
client => sub {
my $port2 = shift;
# some client code here
},
server => sub {
my $port2 = shift;
# some server2 code here
},
);
},
server => sub {
my $port1 = shift;
# some server1 code here
},
);
Or use OO-ish interface instead.
my $server1 = Test::TCP->new(code => sub {
my $port1 = shift;
...
});
my $server2 = Test::TCP->new(code => sub {
my $port2 = shift;
...
});
# your client code here.
...
How do you test server program written in other languages like memcached?
You can use "exec()" in child process.
use strict;
use warnings;
use utf8;
use Test::More;
use Test::TCP 1.08;
use File::Which;
my $bin = scalar which 'memcached';
plan skip_all => 'memcached binary is not found' unless defined $bin;
my $memcached = Test::TCP->new(
code => sub {
my $port = shift;
exec $bin, '-p' => $port;
die "cannot execute $bin: $!";
},
);
use Cache::Memcached;
my $memd = Cache::Memcached->new({servers => ['127.0.0.1:' . $memcached->port]});
$memd->set(foo => 'bar');
is $memd->get('foo'), 'bar';
done_testing;
