Reggy, The first line is "#!/usr/local/bin/perl". You can add -w = warning or -T = taint (#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w) Then you can add 'use strict'. Jerry reggy patagan wrote: > Good day: > >What are the basic comands in creating a perl > programs, do i have to do it in a text editor o

Using custom modules

I want to use a module I have created and stored in cgi-bin directory. It holds a few commonly used functions. I remember having done this before, but can't remember how I got it to work, and my error log says the module did not return a true value. Somebody please save me from wading through a

Hi, Could someone advise me on a program to use. I want to use a command-line program to resize .jpegs, and specify compression. I've not found anything suitable so far. The GD module looks promising, but I can't find useful documentation for it. I'm running linux (slackware). Thanks Carl --

almost there

Ok here is what it is returning. I fixed the code to this: if($textcolor eq "custom") { print " text=\"$textcolor\""; } else{ print " text=\"$txtcustom\""; } when textcolor equals custom thats what it's returning rather than reading

Re: almost there

Mark, It's not clear to me what you're wanting to do from your posting. One comment though if you don't mind... you can avoid the backslash character and in this case make the code more legible by using Perl's 'custom quotes' feature. For example, " text=\"$textcolor\"" can be rewritten as

I need to have perl return a # some how I am having my code write to a webpage. In the webpage I need to be able to change colors of the page and text. While yes it is possible and it is working to use default names of colors such as white, red, blue ect. I would also like the code to be able to

I figured it out :-)

Woohoo, I figured it out. I had my code backwards. If the textcolor was custom I was still trying to print custom when in fact I wanted to print a value that I specified. Thats where my loop was. I had to sit back get away from it and rethink it on paper till I found it. But thanks guys for tr

Explanation of what I was doing wrong

I am writing what I did wrong so others can see and learn. here is my code I sent out earlier. As you can see from the code I had it backwards. If custom was chosen on the web page I wanted it to use a custom color by way of hex code. However my code tells the program if custom is chosen use $
