Redirection
Another question: how can I redirect a Perl script to another page? For example: I submit a for to a page called "receive.pl". In "receive.pl" I process the given information the way I want and then I send the user to a place like http://www.internic.com Does anyone knows how can I do that? Thanks in advance!! Lilian.
Re: Redirection
Hi, You can redirect the user to a page by simply using: print "Location: http://www.internic.com\n\n";; This should be the first line to print to your 'webpage'. good luck! - Jan-Willem On Wed, 21 Nov 2001, Lilian Alvarenga Caravela Godoy wrote: > Another question: how can I redirect a Perl script to another page? > > For example: I submit a for to a page called "receive.pl".

Re: Call for Top 10 reasons your form is broken
Hi, If you mean top reasons why a script produces an error? 1) The script is trying to do something that the http user can't do. 2) Your script is not executable. 3) The script directory is not a recognized script directory. 4) The script doesn't produce a valid HTTP header. 5) The script tries to output something before a header.

Accessing wintel volumes/directories/files via browser
From: RE: Call for Top 10 reasons your form is broken > 1) The script is trying to do something that the http user can't do. This brings up some issues I have been trying to solve, which may or may not apply here. Basically, I have a web accessed script that (ideally) will go out and read in some files from another machine, do some text processing and spit it out to the browser. The one thing I am having problems with is really a permissions issue I guess. When I run the script from the command line, it runs fine. but when I run it through the browser, it cant open the files on the far end machine. Both machines are wintel boxes with IIS on them. Right now, I have a drive mapped on my native box, to the directory on the far end machine. As I said, this works fine in the command line. I guess my question is, what are my ways to get around this HTTP permissions (or lack there of) problem? Can I make the script run as a different user? Would a module of some sort be better suited for accessing the files (currently using system calls) I can have the script reside on a unix box if that makes things easier. (actually ported it over to wintel, thinking that would make things easier!) The far end box (with the text files) will always be a wintel box. I realize this entails several things outside of perl, so I apologize for its lacking in topicality. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated though! Thanks!

form question
ok so im building an online employee application and i have split it up into a couple of different html pages so that its not a huge scrolling document, so i was thinking of using like a 'Next ->' button to continue filling out the application and having the action to the form use a perl script that gets all the info and prints it to a temp file or something, so that at the completion of the application all the info from all the pages is in one place, and then all that info could be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] anyone who has done something like this before, with a different method, or that has a better way to do it... anything, enlighten me :) thanx a ton nate "365 slices of american cheese...mmm" -homer simpson

requests through proxy
I'm have some scripts I put on my isp's server that work fine when I access from my home machine which has dialup access. But at work I get a "www server not found" error. I'm guessing that this is because at work I have to go through a proxy server though I could be wrong. I imagine I have to add some code to handle requests that happen to come from behind a proxy, but I'm not quite sure what I need to be looking at. From poking around on the web it looks like I need LWP::UserAgent, though from reading the documentation it seems that would let to put requests through a proxy server, not receive requests from. At this point I'm thoroughly confused and could anyone give me a point in the right direction? thanks in advance, Jack Daly -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I noticed that and used something like this to get around that.
# set up major input/output variables in such a way that it supresses
# "used only once" warnings for the variables brought in via the
# import_names() sub, but also keep some main-only vars separate from
# the dupes to cut down on memory usage.
BEGIN {
@main::globals =
qw($mapname $author $author_first $author_nick $author_last
$version $release_date $filename
$last_update $email $website_url $website_name $credits
$other_levels_by_author $gametype $bot_able $single_player
$teamplay $difficulty_settings $new_sounds $new_textures
$mutators $mods $construction_base $build_time $editors_used
$ext_description $known_bugs $mod_type $mod_description
$authors_notes $game $weapons $power_ups $new_music
$num_playerstarts
);
}
# this takes advantage of the fact that use vars is looking for
# list context
use vars @main::globals,
qw($internal_comment1 $style $namefill $output_path $htmlout
$textout @htmldata @textdata $current_date);
# the namespace used will be ' import_names("UT"); ' later in the script
package UT; # slip into the package
# and slide in our 'globals' that get imported to that namespace
use vars @main::globals;
package main; # then slide back out to main again.
a semi-slick workaround for a semi-ugly problem. supresses all those
'used only once' warnings quite nicely though.
