Hi Teddy,
you may try the following:
Write into your conf-file:
%assembly = (
title => 'Assembly language page',
description => 'Download free manuals and tutorials for assembly
language',
.....
);
%basic = (
title => 'Basic and Visual Basic page',
description => 'Download Basic and Visual Basic tutorials',
.....
);
And in your main-skript which should be called with something like
"context=basic or assembly or ..." as a parameter:
use CGI;
$q = new CGI;
$context = $q->param(context);
require "conf.txt";
open(READ, "conf.txt") or die "Error opening file: conf.txt, Errorcode:
$!\n";
close(READ);
if ($context eq "assembly") { %conf_data = %assembly ; }
elsif ($context eq "basic") { %conf_data = %basic ; }
print $q->header;
print <<END_OF_HTML;
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>$conf_data{title}</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="0">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>$conf_data{description}</H1>
</BODY>
</HTML>
END_OF_HTML
