1/17    Where can I find perl in Japanese? I'd also like to know where
        I can get hold of character recognition software for Japanese/
        Chinese characters? -fab@csua
        \_ You misunderstand the nature of perl.  There's nothing inherintly
           american or japanese or anything else about it.  Perl relies on the
           underlying OS for almost everything.  What are you trying to do that
           requires "perl in Japanese"?
           \_ Maybe he wants error messages in Japanese?
              \_ If you want to display messages in Japanese, use jcode.pl
                 (ftp://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/IIJ/dist/utashiro/perl/) and
                 http://ina.kappe.co.jp/~sabre/kcode/jcode.html has manual
                 for jcode.pl (in Japanese).
        \_ perl in XXX: http://www.perl.com if it ain't there, it either doesn't
           exist or is so pre-pre-pre-alpha that you don't want to go near
           it. The only usable implementations of optical character
           recognition for Asian languages are commercial.
        \_ Character recognition is an interesting AI problem.  If you are not
           in a rush and want to learn something (along with me), drop me
           a note, and I ll see what I can do. -- ilyas
                \_ aren't you just going to mumble something about stars
                   and evolution?
        \_ There is some free java program that allows users to mouse in
           kanji characters. "jdict"? Go find that, and steal the algorithm.
           But personally, I think doing it in perl is stupid.
          \_ handwriting recognition is not the same as character recognition
             since you can take advantage of stroke generation information.

It's a surprisingly high-level, high-performance target for all sorts of languages. Dan Sugalski demonstrates Parrot's capabilities by building a compiler for a simple, yet business-critical, 4GL. A lesser-known technique, Bloom filters, trades a tunable false-positive rate for compactness -- and has interesting applications for privacy concerns. Maciej Ceglowski explains the theory and practice of Bloom filters. How much more productive would you be if you could extract, index, and search that information? Robert Bernier demonstrates how to store data from emails into a database, where you can use data-mining techniques to analyze it. Casey West comes up with a new approach using Imager and Mason to fit in with Mason sites. While recent advances have improved privacy concerns, the specification leaves room for easy attacks. Alexander Prohorenko explains the situation and tests several recent browsers. If you follow this advice, you should be able to discover problems before your users begin calling you to complain. Duane is the creator of Squid and the author of 130 Squid: The Definitive Guide. He shows us how he uses Perl to layout and print these dictionaries. IO::All ties together almost all of Perl's IO handling libraries in one neat, cohesive package. Objects are nearly there, and the fight over "sort" cotinues. In this article, we'll look at how to use Plucene to build a search engine to index a web site. Pete Sergeant devises a way to convert a mailbox into a WAP page for you to easily check over the phone. Debian Hitting the Exchange 249 Steve Mallett 250 Where's the Camel?
