- of its creation, its possibilities, structure and scope of use.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A17141
- Simple hook
- -----------
- Relative addressing hook is very simple way to hook any function without
- using DLLs.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A17146
- Shred XML Documents with DB2 on Linux
- -------------------------------------

- your videos organized and readily accessible. Start with Part 1, teaching
- you to assemble and install the necessary components and gather and
- convert the video.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A17256
- Riding the Rails with WebSphere Part 1
- --------------------------------------
- This article is the first of two that demonstrates how a Ruby on Rails
- application can be deployed inside of WAS V6.1, and how to integrate
- WAS existing features with Ruby on Rails applications. This marriage
- provides the best of both worlds: rapid development and testing while
- leveraging your investment in WAS.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A17144
- Response.Redirect versus Server.Transfer in Visual Studio 2003 and VS2005.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- A simple tutorial on using Response.Redirect and Server.Transfer -
- Userful tips to exchange data using Context.Handler
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A17259
- Perl XML Quickstart: Convenience Modules
- ----------------------------------------
- The third and final part of our guide to Perl XML modules covers some
- handy modules geared to specific tasks.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A2250
- Perl Tutorial
- -------------
- This manual includes some perl programming basics with a few examples
- to give a basic understanding on how to implement server side scripts
- when dealing with input from a client side web browser.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A12051
- Perl references and nested data structures
- ------------------------------------------
- Before release 5 of Perl it was difficult to represent complex data
- structures, because all references had to be symbolic--and even then
- it was difficult to refer to a variable instead of a symbol table
- entry. Perl now not only makes it easier to use symbolic references
- to variables, but also lets you have ``hard'' references to any piece
- of data or code. Any scalar may hold a hard reference. Because arrays
- and hashes contain scalars, you can now easily build arrays of arrays,
- arrays of hashes, hashes of arrays, arrays of hashes of functions,
- and so on.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A11584
- Perl programming with DB2 Universal Database
- --------------------------------------------
- Learn how to write simple Perl programs that extract or manipulate
- data stored in a DB2 Database. You will go from the simple task of
- selecting a row from a database into a Perl program, to more advanced
- topics, including dealing with large objects and invoking stored procedures.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A15318
- Perl Program Repair Shop and Red Flags
- --------------------------------------
- This article takes actual Perl code and shows how to make it more
- efficient.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A1532
- Perl modules (packages and symbol tables)
- -----------------------------------------
- Perl provides a mechanism for alternative namespaces to protect packages
- from stomping on each other's variables. In fact, there's really no
- such thing as a global variable in Perl. The package statement declares
- the compilation unit as being in the given namespace. The scope of
- the package declaration is from the declaration itself through the
- end of the enclosing block, eval, or file, whichever comes first (the
- same scope as the my() and local() operators).
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A11658
- Perl Module Mechanics
- ---------------------
- This page describes the mechanics of creating, compiling, releasing
- and maintaining Perl modules. This is not a reference manual. Rather,
- it is a running account of how to do these things. More to the point,
- it is an account of how I do these things.

Free Webinar on Node-Locked Software Licensing, from Agilis Software
====================================================================
Node-locking is the proven approach for ensuring that software doesn't
run on unlicensed users' machines. However simple locking to, say, the
MAC address is often no longer adequate faced with configurable system
parameters, virtualization and users' desire to relocate their licenses.
This webinar describes activation / node-locking solutions that maintain
high security despite these developments, while making it convenient for
end-users and software vendors.
