Perl, IIRC, has been used for dynamic page creation for ages, and contains modules to dynamically create pages on-the-fly, and handle various other CGI tasks. (Among other things, it can also reformat text, and take a binary file and pass it to a user in a browser.) > i have an ongoing theory about the destruction that has befallen my > life; occasionally, everything makes sense if i blame it all on daring > to ask perl questions via the irc on #gimp. Oh ho ho. Have you read the documentation that comes packaged with Perl? If you use linux, install the perl-doc package (or whatever) and read the results in "perldoc perldoc" and "perldoc perl". If you use Windows, get the ActiveState installer, and open up the documentation viewer, by default, at "C:\perl\html\index.html". [I personally read this version in Firefox in Linux when working with my computer...] > i have seen python scripts used in the cgi-bin. True. But, then again, I've always worked with free web hosts to date (icky) and the ones that support scripting use Perl. PHP is too user-friendly (so they will make people pay for it), and I don't see Python *that* often on these sites. > > Sounds like a good idea.

You could always generate the content *on* the website, as opposed to sending it to the website... just upload all the gradients and whatnot and your script first, and then have the script serve it to you. > > > it does need to be cleaned up to read the ChangeLog less hacky. > > > this is not unlike how i read the ChangeLog, however: > http://carol.gimp.org/writing/listsoflists/cgo-Y3K.html How sad. > i am too old and blameless to learn c++. Well, I don't really use C++ -- and I believe I've deleted all the things I've done in C++ to date. Once, I had a CLI (Command Line Interface) version of the game Mancala. Of course, a nearly identical version, except with an AI, and a GUI (graphical user inteface), was nicely packaged in a package on Linux, so I got rid of my little program. It was an interesting exercise though, and gave me something to brag about to my friends. ^^ > i dunno, i am watching the network seem to gurgle here with rsync. this > is the one time i know that the net traffic on my computer was from > something i did. :) > lol. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
