At any of the CPAN locations go into the doc/ directory to retrieve either the ptkFAQ.gz file (gzipped plaintext), the ptkFAQ.html.gz file (gzipped html [with some links relative to "http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/"]), or the ptkFAQ.ps.gz file (gzipped PostScript(c)).
See a previous question in this document for a more extensive list of CPAN locations.
Those without FTP access can get the plaintext version via e-mail from the rtfm archive. For help send e-mail to <mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu> with a message of:
send usenet/news.answers/finding-sourcesThe mail server at rtfm may be able to e-mail a plaintext version of this faq. Send e-mail to <mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu> containing:
send /pub/usenet/news.answers/perl-faq/ptk-faq/part0Then send several more (separate) requests, such as:
send /pub/usenet/news.answers/perl-faq/ptk-faq/part1 send /pub/usenet/news.answers/perl-faq/ptk-faq/part2 send /pub/usenet/news.answers/perl-faq/ptk-faq/part3 send /pub/usenet/news.answers/perl-faq/ptk-faq/part4 send /pub/usenet/news.answers/perl-faq/ptk-faq/part5
The ptk@lists.stanford.edu mailing list is devoted more to porting and development issues. The URL's to this FAQ will occasionally be posted there, but not the full text (it is simply too big - sorry).
When last tested the service at
<webmail@www.ucc.ie>
reported that the single ptkFAQ.txt
file was too large to send. Hence, you must send several separate e-mail
requests to
<webmail@www.ucc.ie>
A Subject: line is not required but do include the following
one line message body in your first e-mail:
GO http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkFAQ0.txtThen send several more (separate) requests as follows:
GO http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkFAQ1.txt GO http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkFAQ2.txt GO http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkFAQ3.txt GO http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkFAQ4.txt GO http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkFAQ5.txtplease note: In days gone by this service would take several hours to send back both a plaintext and a uuencoded version of the stated file - both within a single mail message. The service did mention receiving more than 17,000 requests in October 1995 alone and it is not known whether they will continue.
Send e-mail to <agora@mail.w3.org>
with a one line message body (Subject: line not required) such as:
SEND http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkFAQ.txt
please note: this last method bounced backed a "permanently out of
service" message when last attempted. The home page at
http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/Agora/ mentions "temporarily out of
service", caveat netsurfer; the page at
http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/MailRobot/send.html does not mention being out of
service.
System administrator and webmasters are encouraged to visit any of the
following pages:
http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/MailRobot/Overview.html http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/MailRobot/send.html http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/Mailing/Form.html http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/Agora/and decide if they wish to set up a webmail gateway of their own. The
agora.pl
script is written in perl and makes use of the
www
line mode browser. It could presumably be re-written to use
url-get.pl
or any other fine code such as the latest, greatest
perl5 module for URL fetching :-)
