( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I had problems in using this script, as at least on recent Linux systems (Ubuntu jaunty 64bit), readline doesn't honor ALRM at all.

The following workaround is a bit simpleminded, but at least automatically updates the display every n seconds, at the cost of the user entering an extra CR to reach the readline prompt (just normal reading from stdin, which still honors ALRM...).

Patch -u for just the workaround follows

Update: Slight clean up. The 2nd variant below does fix the ALRM issue nicely, but I cannot get the partial user input when interrupted, regardless of using PERL_RL=Gnu or not; which makes it impossible to type longer answers, esp. with a low timeout. So this version is the one to use for now.

There's also a little issue when PM doesn't return a page. Can happen every few hours, leading to XMLin dying, as LWP didn't provide sane input and the return isn't tested. It seems to be sufficient to change the XMLin statements to my $xml; eval{$xml = XMLin($r->content)}; return if $@;. Another small one in case you print timestamps: Change the unpack template from 8x to 10x to account for the modified timestamp fields. chmod 0600 on cookie file. Changed to add the node titles on numeric id:// links.

Note that type-ahead isn't affected by the alarm issue, so I now just insert the type-ahead into the readline handling in case you start typing w/o pressing RETURN first for the readline-prompt. This way start typing, press RETURN for full line editing and continue typing, then press a 2nd RETURN to send the message.

pm_chat2 in the version I'm currently using (as of 20091021; slightly extended, see /help), and which I'll keep updated in this node.
