Re^2: running command line from Perl

Nice one! My first reaction was "someone wrote a DBD module to query some Windows API". But of course, there is a DBD for stuff like that. There always is.

perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'

> "someone wrote a DBD module to query some Windows API" FYI: The dominant "Windows API" of WMI is WQL which is kind of SQL, so it's not really that surprising Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

Didn't know that. I'm mostly on Linux these days. Probably spending less than 50 hours per year fiddling with Windows ;-) `perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'`	[reply] [d/l]

understandable ... I only started using it 20 years ago ;-) (no worries this was just FYI - I have fullest sympathies for wanting to ignore windows =) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
