How can I import scalars, arrays, etc. from external perl and text
files?
This is what I have in index.pl:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI qw/ :standard /;
print header ( 'text/html' );
open(TEXT,"<fried.txt") or die ("error: fried.txt failed\n");
while(<TEXT>) {
print;
}
close(TEXT) or die("error: fried.txt failed\n");
print "$name chicken";
And this is what I have in fried.txt:
my $name = "chicken";
So why doesn't it work?
And also, when appending a file how can I set it to overwrite when it
reaches a certain number of lines and then continue appending. (so the
external text file doesn't get any larger than xx lines at any time)
Thank you,
Kyle
