What are Barewords and how they disturb a PERL program execution?


If there is a symbol in a string that we are going to print or use further in a perl program but when we execute it the interpreter or compiler is not getting correct meaning of that string . In this condition compiler gives a error ‘Missing operator before’ ”your symbol “.
A bareword is series of characters outside of a string that PERL doesn’t recognize.
We can also take a example to understand the mean of bareword

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
print  255 , “\n”;
print  0377 , “\n”;
print   0b11111111, “\n”;
print  0xFF , “\n”;

The output of each print statement is
255
255
255
255

But if we turn the code of above program as :-

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
print  0378 , “\n”;
print   0b11111112, “\n”;
print  0xFG , “\n”;

Illegal octal digit ‘8’ at line 3 , at the end of line.
Illegal binary digit ‘2’ at line 4 , at the end of line.
Bareword found where operator expected at line 5 , near “0xfG”
(Missing operator before G)
Syntax error at line at line 5 , near “0xfG”.

  1. Its Perl not PERL
    and don't forget to use strict pragma in your script.

Failed to get D-Bus connection: Operation not permitted

" Failed to get D-Bus connection: Operation not permitted " - systemctl command is not working in Docker container. If systemctl command is not working in your container and giving subjected error message then simple solution of this error is, create container with -- privileged option and also provide init file full path  /usr/sbin/init [root@server109 ~]# docker container run -dit --privileged --name systemctl_not_working_centos1 centos:7 /usr/sbin/init For detailed explanation and understanding I am writing more about it, please have look below. If we have a daemon based program(httpd, sshd, jenkins, docker etc.) running inside a container and we would like to start/stop or check status of daemon inside docker then it becomes difficult for us to perform such operations , because by default systemctl and service  commands don't work inside docker. Normally we run below commands to check services status in Linux systems. [root@server109 ~]# systemctl status ...

AWS cloud automation using Terraform

In this post I'll create multiple resources in AWS cloud using Terraform . Terraform is an infrastructure as code( IAC ) software which can do lots of things but it is superb in cloud automation. To use Terraform we have write code in a high-level configuration language known as Hashicorp Configuration Language , optionally we can write code in JSON as well. I'll create below service using Terraform- 1. Create the key-pair and security group which allow inbound traffic on port 80 and 22 2. Launch EC2 instance. 3. To create EC2 instance use same key and security group which created in step 1 4. Launch Volume(EBS) and mount this volume into /var/www/html directory 5. Upload index.php file and an image on GitHub repository 6. Clone GitHub repository into /var/www/html 7. Create S3 bucket, copy images from GitHub repo into it and set permission to public readable 8 Create a CloudFront use S3 bucket(which contains images) and use the CloudFront URL to update code in /var/w...
