Hello,
i am still at the same stage.... thanks to Oliver Elphick the plperl
module is working, as a stand alone per program the thing works (sole
difference, i use $toparse = shift; instead of the $toparse = $_[0];
in the sql-function....
here's the thing:
CREATE FUNCTION cleanFromSep(text,text) RETURNS int4 AS ' $toparse = $_[0]; $work = $_[0];
$format = $_[1]; print "first step $work\n"; $work =~s/\.//g; print "second step $work\n";
$work=~s/\,//g; print "final step $work\n"; $work *= 100 if($format =~/,\d{2}$/ &&
!($toparse=~/,\d{2}$/)); print "eventual mult step $work\n"; return $work; ' LANGUAGE 'plperl';
the perl script gives:
./test.pl 1.000.000 999.999.999,99
first step 1.000.000
second step 1000000
final step 1000000
eventual mult step 100000000
and the SQL function:
select cleanFromSep('1.000.000','999.999.999,99');cleanfromsep -------------- 0
(1 row)
so what am i doing wrong? besides how can i output debug stuff from the
perl script? print manifestingly doesn't work...
