Need to GZip a file using Perl?

Use Compress::Zlib.

This is a simple perl script which creates a GZip file.

I've found it kind of complicated to strip newline chars from a file with just the commandline. This tiny piece of code does just that.

I've found it especially useful when extracting tabulated data from a grabbed site where each cell is on a different html line. This way I can pre-filter the html, remove the newlines, and insert them again at register boundaries (row end in this case), so that with just a couple more replacement from within a regex enabled text editor I can copy&paste it directly to a database.

This could be used for any type of simple hash checking. It could also be used to store a "password" that had to be verified. This code is completely managed.

This perl function will output to a file of your choosing the current localtime as defined by perl's localtime function. It will output the date in ISO 8601 date format plus the current localtime such as:
2006-08-21 09:26:35 am
The function also returns the localtime without the date to the calling environment.

Function to capitalize the first letter in every word in a string, but only if the entire string is in ALL CAPS.

Example:
"I LIKE TO SCREAM" becomes "I Like To Scream"
"I LIKE to RUN" remains "I LIKE to RUN".

Get a FileSize

Prints the user's IP address and localtime on a web page.

This is a little example of how to use threads in Perl. It creates three threads and runs them... That's it...
