( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I liked to put user names, passwords and email addresses in my script(s) like this:
my ($user, $pass, $mail) = qw(root $ecret someone@somewhe.re);
This works with sigils, but there are problems with e.g. Unicode characters, therefore I now prefer
use Config::Tiny; my $ini = Config::Tiny->read( 'whoamI.ini', 'encoding(Windows-1252)' ) +; my ($user, $pass, $mail) = ($ini->{Main}{user},$ini->{Main}{pass},$ini +->{Main}{mail});
and have the data in a config file like
[Main] user=root pass=$ecret mail=someone@somewhe.re
This has the additional advantage, that you can share your script (or brag with it :-)) without compromising confidential data, and can avoid problems with foreign or other unusual characters (of course, you have to adapt the encoding(Windows-1252) part). Plus you don't need to change the script when the password changes.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
