is there a way of getting perl scripts to run behind a university wireless lan network?
Of course there is. But that depends on what your perl script is, and what you mean by "behind".
What does the program prompt for?
--shmem
_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo. G°\ /
/\_¯/(q /
---------------------------- \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

when I say it prompts I mean after typing in
perl script1.pl
it just stays on to the same line and keeps flashing at
c:/perl/bin/ perl script1.pl
without doing anything, but a few hours ago at home same script worked just fine

You're going to have to provide a lot more information. I suspect that the university's system administrators have procedures in place which restrict what software can be used, e.g., ssh, or which sites can be accessed. Try talking with your university's system administrators, as I think the reason your program isn't working is because something it's trying to do is forbidden.

Welcome to the Monastery rentacode90
You don’t say where the script is that you are trying to run.
Is it on the server on the Uni machines or is it on your laptop Hard drive?
As pointed out by shmen and swampyankee more information is needed, a lot of Universities run Perl mostly on their Unix machines which may not be connected to a wireless Network.
From past experience I have been able to upload a script to the Unix server by ftp but have been unable to run the same via a wireless connection for the above reasons.
Update
Do you have access to the Sun Secure Global Desktop by an Internet connection, this could give you access to a gnome (Unix) terminal, you could try running your Perl script via that, this would also allow you to check the file location.
Further Update
Is your laptop MAC address registered on the Uni system?
Do you have a Uni log in and password and does it allow access. | [reply] |
