Be careful -- there are a ton of cgi scripts out there that are no good (and an entire book by Elizabeth Castro, "Perl and CGI for the World Wide Web).
If you're using perl for cgi, it's pretty much mandatory from a practical standpoint to use the fantastic CGI module that ships with your perl. It is easy to use and handles all of the CGI protocol for you automatically. Use it and you'll be happy and more productive. Plus you'll learn a great deal from it. I know I did, and still do. perldoc CGI will tell you how to use the module, and you'll find that you'll be able to open your text file and print it out to a browser with ease. Most servers will default to a type of "text/plain" or "text/html", so you should be able to do something like this: ############################## use CGI qw(:standard); use diagnostics; # great for learning to troubleshoot perl ! use strict; open (FILE, "Test.txt"); my @data=(<FILE>); #print "@data"; print header('File Output'), start_html, pre(@data), end_html; ############################# Will include preformatted text in your browser.
