Hi there - I'm on both both perl lists so I'll save you repost
To call a script from a webpage you just have to link to that script with
the anchor tag
eg:
<a href="myscript.cgi">link here</a>
this will call the script
to pass variables into the script you can use web forms
eg:
<form action="myscript.cgi" method="post">
<input type="text" name="input">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
the cgi script at the other end should have cgi.pm or cgi-lib.pm included.
eg:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w ###path to perl on the server
use CGI qw(:all); ###include the cgi module
$output = param("input"); ####parse input from form and
####pass to a variable
called $output
####note input is the
same as the name
####of the text input in
the form
print header; ####print standard text/html
header
print <<endofhtm;
<html> #####start printing html
<head>
</head>
<body>
print $output; #####print the value of
$output
</body>
</html>
endofhtm ####stop printing html
If you are uploading via ftp - be sure to upload in ascii format and also
make sure that the file is executable on unix systems (chmod 755 will work
for this script).
If my code sucks guys then please bear in mind that I'm just a newbie too
and please correct any errors :)
cheers
Rick
