Netcat result as a perl script argument - perl

I'm traying to get the output of netcat as a perl script argument in linux :) , here is my perl code: while(1){ if(#ARGV>1){some traitement ....}
in the terminal I tested this: netcat -l -u -p 1111 | perl myscript.pl
and this is not working, I'm receiving data I can check it on wireshark.
but this data need to be redirected to myscript.pl as parameter. if it is possible to do it with .sh file it will be ok.
thank you.

You're passing the output to perl's STDIN. You can simply do the following to read it:
while (<>) {
...
}
If you really need the output as a parameter, use the following (but keep in mind there are limits on the size of parameters):
perl myscript.pl "$( netcat ... )"

use xargs like this (older/different netcat program called nc)
nc -l 1111 | xargs perl -e '$!=1;print #ARGV'
At the other end of the socket send an EOF. Once this happens all the parameters are passed to the script

Output of perl debugger to file (Windows)

I tried to list all the subroutines of a script with the perl debugger and put the results in an external file. But It didn't work.
My code:
perl -d -S myscript.pl > results.txt
-S = list all subroutines
-d = debug perl script
Greets,
The -S isn't supposed to be used as a command line switch. Running perl -d will start a debugger process, and one of the commands you can use there is S.
Example:
$ perl -d tmp/splithttpdconf.pl
Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.28
Editor support available.
Enter h or `h h' for help, or `man perldebug' for more help.
main::(tmp/splithttpdconf.pl:6): my $basedir = shift;
DB<1> S main::
main::BEGIN
main::debug
main::splitconf
DB<2>
In order to get the kind of output you want, you can to use the profiler module Devel::DProf instead. It'll output profiler info into a file which can be read by the dprofpp program. Here's an example to get the list of subroutines:
perl -d:DProf perlscript.pl; dprofpp -T
If you only want the subroutines within your own script, and not those loaded from other modules, add a grep to it, e.g.:
perl -d:DProf perlscript.pl; dprofpp -T | grep main::
Though for the particular question of knowing what subroutines exist in a given program, provided you use a consistent coding style it'd probably be easier to just do a grep "sub.*{" to start with.
In your home directory, create a file called .perldb with the following contents:
parse_options("NonStop=1 LineInfo=results.txt AutoTrace=1 frame=2");
And then run the command
perl -d myscript.pl
If you want to scan and list the entire subroutine's what Perl see's before it runs:
perl -MO=Deparse -f myscript.pl

Pass parameter to a perl script executed trough qsub

Hi would like to pass a parameter to my perl script that should be executed trough qsub.
So I run:
qsub -l nodes=node01 -v "i=500" Test.pl
While in Test.pl I try to call i parameter in several way:
use Getopt::Long;
$result = GetOptions ("i" => \$num);
open(FILE,">/data/home/FILEout.txt");
print FILE "$num\n";
print FILE "$ARGV[0]";
close(FILE);
Unfortunatelly output file of the perl script is always empty.
Do you have any suggestions? Where I'm wrong? Help please
According to all documentation I can find -v sets an environment var, so you'd use $ENV{i} to get 500. (Check your own documentation to confirm.)
If you wanted to actually pass an arg to your script, you could try using
qsub ... Test.pl -i=500
But based on my web search, that might only work for some versions of qsub. Others would require that you make a helper script (say Test.sh)
#!/bin/sh
Test.pl "-i=$i"
along with the command
qsub ... -v 'i=500' Test.sh
If qsub ... Test.pl ...args... is supported and you can change your script, the simplest solution is
qsub ... Test.pl 500
and
my ($i) = #ARGV;
I Finally get the solution that works with PBRProfessional 10.4.
There are two way to solve it:
First one is the following
echo "perl /path/to/Test.pl -i 500" | qsub -l nodes=node06
Second one is two use
qsub -l nodes=node06 -v i=500 Test.pl
and read the parameter in the Test.pl through $ENV{i}

< operator in UNIX, passing to Perl script

When evaluating if(-t STDIN), does the < UNIX operator count as STDIN? If not, how do I get that data?
So someone types perl example.pl < testing.txt. This doesn't behave like data piped in via ls | ./example.pl. How can I get that behavior?
Test -p STDIN, which checks if the filehandle STDIN is attached to a pipe.
touch foo
perl -e 'print -p STDIN' < foo # nothing
cat foo | perl -e 'print -p STDIN' # 1
But I'm not sure I understand your question. In all three of these cases
1. perl -e 'print $_=<STDIN>' < <(echo foo)
2. echo foo | perl -e 'print $_=<STDIN>'
3. perl -e 'print $_=<STDIN>' # then type "foo\n" to the console
the inputs are the same and all accessible through the STDIN filehandle. In the first two cases, -t STDIN will evaluate to false, and in the second case, -p STDIN will be true.
The differences in behavior between these three cases are subtle, and usually not important. The third case, obviously, will wait until at least one line of input (terminated with "\n" or EOF) is received. The difference between the first two cases is even more subtle. When the input to your program is piped from the output of another process, you are somewhat at the mercy of that first process with respect to latency or whether that program buffers its output.
Maybe you could expand on what you mean when you say
perl example.pl < testing.txt
doesn't behave like
ls | ./example.pl
-t tests whether or not STDIN is attached to a tty.
When you pipe data to perl, it will not be attached to a tty. This should not depend on the mechanism you use to pipe (ie, whether you pipe a command using | or pipe a file using <.) However, you will have a tty attached when you run the program directly. Given the following example:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print ((-t STDIN) ? "is a tty\n" : "is not a tty\n");
You would expect the following output:
% perl ./ttytest.pl
is a tty
% perl ./ttytest.pl < somefile
is not a tty
% ls | perl ./ttytest.pl
is not a tty

Can't find the process after invoking this Perl script in shell

t:
#!/usr/bin/perl
exec("perl -Ilib -d" . $ARGV[0]);
It's invoked as t perl_script.
But after that I can't find it by ps,and can't terminate it by ^C
What's wrong ?
http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/exec.html
You're exec'ing perl with the args and perl_script you pass in. This means the current script t ceases to exist and is replaced by perl -Ilib -dperl_script.
The process you're looking for with ps will be the one you passed in (perl_script)
Edit for comment from OP below:
The actual process is perl since that's what you exec'd, but you can certainly find it via the perl_script you passed in using grep:
$ ps -ef |grep perl_script
broach 13039 2264 0 01:08 pts/0 00:00:00 perl -Ilib -dperl_script
Do you need to include a space after -d? Otherwise you are exec'ing
perl -Ilib -dperl_script
instead of
perl -Ilib -d perl_script
Cleaner still:
exec("perl","-Ilib","-d",$ARGV[0]);
exec($^X, "-Ilib", "-d", $ARGV[0]);

how to trim wipe output with sed?

i want to trim an output of wipe command with sed.
i try to use this one:
wipe -vx7 /dev/sdb 2>&1 | sed -u 's/.*\ \([0-9]\+\).*/\1/g'
but it don't work for some reason.
when i use echo & sed to print the output of wipe command it works!
echo "/dev/sdb: 10%" | sed -u 's/.*\ \([0-9]\+\).*/\1/g'
what i'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
That looks like a progress indicator. They are often output directly to the tty instead of to stdout or stderr. You may be able to use the expect script called unbuffer (source) or some other method to create a pseudo tty. Be aware that there will probably be more junk such as \r, etc., that you may need to filter out.
Demonstration:
$ cat foo
#!/bin/sh
echo hello > /dev/tty
$ a=$(./foo)
hello
$ echo $a
$ a=$(unbuffer ./foo)
$ echo $a
hello
