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

This question is silly on multiple levels:

  • You don't pick tools and then try to fit them to the problem. You specify the problem as well as you can and then identify the correct tools.
  • "...for this I can't use Perl." Why are you asking this question in Perlmonks then?
  • "...communicate to a server"..."over bluetooth or wireless lan"..."server process just interacts with...command line tools..." Pretty much every toolkit for mobile devices can communicate via bluetooth and/or wireless LAN and every language worth learning or using can shell out to utilize 'command line tools.' That is not a specification. That is like saying 'I need an elephant for my parade' only to be surprised when someone arrives with an eight inch toy elephant.
  • "..what do I need to read up on..." I can help you here. Perl is not the right tool for your task. Your task requires someone to do your work for you and to help you do your research and thinking. There are many toolsets available out there that purport to do exactly that. You should use one of those.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
