( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hello Monks,

I have a strange problem (may not be so strange for many of you - that is why I post it here!!) I have a CGI script that, picks the value of $bu based on the value of $j as per the logic below (checking for which bit is set in the number $j)

I run the code with $j = 65. That should give the value D. But, somehow, I find that the bitwise & returns true for all the values! Hence the end result is not good.

my %bj = (64,'D', 128,'A', 256,'H'); foreach my $flag (keys %bj) { $bu = $bj{$flag} if ($flag & $job_type); cluck("business_unit: $bu); }

I tried running this code standalone, in a separate pl script and it works good. But somehow it does not work in the CGI(?)

Are there some CGI/run options that could disable the bitwise & ? Tried to google around, but did not find anything useful.

Can you please help me with this?

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
