You need to use the CGI script:
use CGI;
my $cgi = new CGI;
my $username = $cgi->param('username');
my $password = $cgi->param('password');

Subject: newbie need help
Hi all,
in new in perl language and i need help how to make my first cgi-perl script
work.
i have a web form that users can input a username and password and check if
the username is valid by parsing or extracting the contents of a file, here
the web form html:
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-bin/perl.pl">
<PRE>
Username<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="username" MAXLENGTH=15 SIZE=15>
Password<INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="password" MAXLENGTH=20 SIZE=20>·
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send Mail!">
<INPUT TYPE="reset" value=" Clear-Form">
</PRE>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
my perl.pl script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw(param);
$username = param('username');
$password = param('password');
$file= "/home/user/public_html/file.txt";
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
open (F1,"$file");
foreach (<F1>) {
chomp;
($field1,$field2,$field3,$field4,$field5,$field6) = split /\s/, $_;
if ($username =~ /\b$field2\b/) {
print "OK\n";
print "$username and $password\n";
}
else {
unless ($username |~ /\b$field2\b/) {
print "oppss try again\n";
}
}
}
close(F1);
and this is the content of the file.txt:
----snip----
user: user1 realm: my.domain.com mech:PLAIN
user: user2 realm: my.domain.com mech:PLAIN
user: user3 realm: my.domain.com mech:PLAIN
user: user4 realm: my.domain.com mech:PLAIN
---snip---
my problem with this script is, it doesnt display if the
username is valid or not but valid usernames display
OK, $username and $password.
whats the problem with the else statement? kindly correct my
script.
TIA
glen
