apache localhost cookies

2002-01-03 Thread Carl Franks
In short, I'm using a perl script to set a cookie, and Netscape Navigator isn't seeing it. It sets cookies o.k. on a '.com' webserver, but not on my localhost. I'm running RedHat 7.2 with apache installed. Viewing http://localhost in Netscape works, as does running scripts at http://localhost/

Unfriendly messages from people who should know better

The reason I was first attracted to this list was because of an article, announcing its launch (and that of the perl beginners list), in which the general theme was that for too long, newcomers to Perl had been subjected to "RTFM" in response to pleas for help. The lists were being set up to p

I'm going to have to agree with Randal, here. Maybe I can chime in with a less acidic tone. If you don't want people to see your code, don't write it in a scripting language. Buy a commercial C compiler and write commercial grade code. Perl is a marvelous language for writing public domain code t

I still say that Perl is not the language of choice for hiding code. Why not package the secret security risk code in a compiled C module of some sort? Then you can develop the rest of the code in Perl. - Original Message - From: "Barrie Heck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

If you must use perl, one thing you might try (although it's not a perfect solution) is obfuscation. Many people (even those in the open source community!) have been trying to make it very difficult if not impossible for people to read their perl code for years. Check out the perlmonks for examp

Hello, I don't have a working example, this is for a friend. He says he has a guest book set up on his site. All is fine with it. People submit their entry, it takes you to a view page (dynamic, from the Perl program) where it shows you all the entries. But he says when people refresh that pag
