Perl – the programming language…
I’m hoping for just a english version of my blog. It’s not that I hate romanian, or romanian people. Most of my readers know english, so do I. But, I want more people to understand what the fuck is wrong in my head when I’m writing this (especially someone from Philippines
). I know my grammar sucks..and I have to learn lots of words that I don’t know, but I know this will be useful in the future..(Australia for example).
So..let’s begin this shit. Perl. It’s a programming language that is very good in manipulating strings. Very good at it! For some days now, i’m trying to make another mail server. This time, I wanna make it clockwise. With spam and antivirus scanning (SpamAssassin and ClamAV). Nothing wrong with that. So..I got my Qmail installed as it says in a document on www.qmailrocks.org. I got it running and it works. But without any scanning. So..this is the hard part. Before installing SpamAssassin and ClamAV I needed some Perl modules. And I tried installing them from the sources (tar.gz). 3 modules worked. 3 modules were fucked. Hmm..in the documents I read, it says that there are no rpms with them. Hmm..compile them again…and again…and again…Till..I got an idea. Try to find those rpms…maybe someone needed them before me, and some other guy did the job. “yum install ….”..nothing..Damn! On my computer, I have a FC5 to which I added some more repositories. So I added the same repositories to my mail server. “yum install …” Daaaaamn!!..it works!!..So ..after like..2 hours spending them on google search on the error I was getting when I was compilating that shit..it worked after 3 “yum install” commands.
The packages that need to be installed were:
perl-Parse-Syslog
perl-Statistics-Distributions
perl-Mail-Spamassassin
So, tomorrow I have to do the easy part. Installing SpamAssassin and ClamAV. Wish me luck!!
I have more to say about my SMS experience…that I had a few days..and turned out to be another Calarasi bullshit (and I’m not talking about Ana – but it’s related to her, I think it’s something in the air over there)..but maybe another time..not now. Prepairing to go to a beer and talk to an angel..the naked one..
(well..it’s vice-versa, first I’m talking to her, then going to a beer, or two…or..)
