Hello, I am trying to go to a script from within a script. This is a Perl CGI script and I want to transfer to various other perl cgi scripts based on user selections. From what I read I want to use exec for this -- since I want to leave and not return to the transferring script. The trasferring program outputs a screen heading (as it should) and just sits there --I get no error message -- it doesn't matter what name I put in as the program that I am transferring to (even if I put in a garbage name) nothing seems to happen. I would have expected it to die and give me a message based on the garbage name. This is the code:
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # PRINT HEADING # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print <<Heading; <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>CAE Solutions</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="teal" TEXT="silver"> <h1 align="center">CAE Solutions</h1> <BR> <BR> Heading # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # MAIN LOGIC # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # if ($work_type eq 'en') { print "I'm ready to leave\n\n"; # exec("log_enh.cgi $validemp") exec("tslslslsestit.cgi $validemp") or die "Couldni\'t go to log_enhi.cgi: $!\n"; print "I'm BACK!!!! \n\n"; }; Thanks, Maureen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
