Perl and SSL
Hello all, My problem is that I have two GCIs that work without no problem under HTTP, but does not happen the same under HTTPS. Under HTTPS, the first cgi load without no problem, when from the first cgi pulse the button "continue" and I redirect to the second cgi leaves the page to me error. If I return to try this same one second then time if it works to me. This problem does not give me under HTTP but if under HTTPS, in addition, just before redirecting to the second cgi and being under HTTPS (a safe connection assumes that) the navigator it says to me that I am going to leave a safe connection, what is what happens? it is problem to use Perl under SSL? Note: The pages are in a safe server.
Re: Global Constants in Perl ?

RE: What is the value of @_4_[0], and $return_me? (see below)
Well, for a start, you have a spelling mistake in there...
my $retun_me = shift; - probably should be - my $return_me = shift;
Secondly, what exactly are you trying to do with this code ? I don't know
too much about perl, but I think the assignment:
@_ = @arr;
might be a little suspicious. I normally grab the arguments passed to my
sub routine from @_ , I don't usually assign *to* it.
In the end, it seems like this subroutine should return the first value in
@arr, which is 0.
Does any of this help ?

Regular Expressions
Hi everyone
I am trying to learn Perl looking into some scripts.
One of them has a regular expression inside.
First of all, I need to know what two specific lines are doing. The code is
bellow.
$req =~ s/\r//g ;
$req =~ s/([^\n]{72,72})\n([^\n]{1,71})\n([^\n]{1,71})$/$1\n$2$3/
I know they are replacing some things but cannot understand what. Specially
the second one.
I would really appreciate if somebody could explain to me what that regular
expression means. It is kind of an emergency.
And, if someone knows a link where there is more information about regular
expressions, I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Linux Box,
Hi Doug here. I want to create a service like http://twistedhumor.com/ from a home server I have a old Pentium 1 PC which used to run VVindows 98 and I was wondering what type of "MODEM/NETCARD" do I need to run RedHatLinux to run Apache to run CGI/Perl? - And if I get a Bell Dialup connection - Question (1) What is the name of a hardware modem to attach to my Linux Box? - And if I get a Bell high speed connection - Question (2) What is the name of the netcard to attach to my Linux Box? Question (3) What is the best List or Group to get Linux Box information? Question (4) When I am done all of this can I, will I be able to use my Linux Box to automatically send email as a reply to someone that sent me a email with the word "Join" in the subject line, using CGI? Any Infomation would be helpful :-) Question (5) And the most important question! Where can I learn all there is to know about creating this email server using Linux, Apache, Perl/CGI. If you have a email service using CGI and a home Server, Please let me know about your setup. Hardware, Software, Configurations, just email me. Many Thanks as I am new to CGI/Perl [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please email me directly if you have any information that isn't CGI/Perl related. ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It pulls off the first element of the array passed to it. Using shift
with no arguments always pulls from @_ -- it returns $_[0] and also shifts
the other elements down ($_[1] becomes $_[0], $_[2] becomes $_[1], etc).
@_ is the 'default' array (analogous to $_), and in a subroutine, is the
array of subroutine arguments. If you say
mysub('arg1', 'arg2');
then
sub mysub {
$arg1 = shift; #gets the first argument 'arg1'
$arg2 = shift; #gets the second argument 'arg2'
...
}

Brett,
Great description with one minor caveat: shift with no arguments will pull from @ARGV
if not used
in a subroutine.

inputting a text file into an HTML page
ok I have the CGI script that will generate an html page based on what the
user selects. I also want to give the user the oportunity to choose one of
many different text files that can also be inputted into the html page via
the cgi script. I have the opening tags and closing tags and tables set up
in the script. The addition I would like to put in is between the lines
with the # to help you find it.
Thanks for any suggestions you can make
$filename =<<__this_is_the_file__;
$BODYTAG
$params
) {
$text = "$text.$_"
}
print $text
would somthing like this work to allow the user to select a premade text
file from an HTML form to have inputted into the HTML page. The rest of the
script works fine this is an addition I am trying to do to it
#
FACE=ARIAL>$fields{'the_title'}
$fields{'poam_select'}
$fields{'the_message'}
$fields{'sig_line'}
This card was created by
$fields{'sender_name'}
(mailto:$fields{'sender_email'}>

RE: Time sensative Sub Routine
Using the Cron function on the server is not a problem. The promlem I have is not knowing how to set up the commands in the script and the HTML form that would let the users choose when they want the action preformed. From what I understand with the cron function, is that it will run the script at predetermined intervals. This does not give the users the ability to choose the date they want the action preformed. I'm sorry if it sounds confusing. I can not find any sub routines or scripts that allow for users to pre-select dates for actions to be preformed. I have a greeting card script and want users to be able to send cards days in advance that woulf only be delivered on the requested date.

RE: Time sensative Sub Routine
Ok I understand part of the Cron and it checking often to see if a script needs to be executed. But i still dotn understand if I set up the HTML page where the user selects the date they want the function to happen, how do I set up the CGI script to read this and how does the Cron function know read they date selected for this function. Keep in mind today we could get 10 people choosing 10 different dates. So yes I have cron set to run daily at 12.05 am but how will it know if the cgi script has any files that a user has chosen to make for that date. I know I am confusing things now. I am just trying to understand the process of how this happens.

I don't have the time to write this for you... 1 - there is a CGI script that is called by the HTML page that writes the user's requested time & other info into a list on the server. a database would even be better. 1 - the cron runs probably every hour of the day 2 - there is a script that the cron calls that reads the list/database & gets all the users that are within that time period & does whatever you need with the info - send an email, whatever. it's really pretty straight ahead. hth Al Hospers CamberSoft, Inc. alcambersoftcom http://www.cambersoft.com Shockwave and Director development, CD-ROM, HTML, CGI scripting, and Graphic Design.
