Hi,
should I use $ENV{HTTP_REFERER} to check wether a form was sent from my
site.
Because I don't want people to download my webpage, put a link to a form,
and modify some of the forms so it can crash the script.(eventough i tried
to protect from that).
The best way i can think of for the moment i
Hello, I've been trying to write a cgi script that will clear and restart

Rob,
The problem is in the permissions of the user id that is running the
script, not the owner of the script. In this case, your webserver is
the person running the script. So more than likely, you should use
'clearpq.cgi' to kick off a different script 'clearpl.pl' as ROOT. The
script should

Enough error handling in your script
I have found CGI::FormBuilder a great way to do the validation for you.
First it ignores anything you didn't specifically ask for. Second, you can
easily validate using regexes. An additional benefit is that this module
provides client side (for legitimate users of your form), and server side
check

Wrong. Try:
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
my $record = $q->param('text_field');
open(OUTFILE, ">output.txt") or die "Can't open output.txt: $!";
print OUTFILE $record;
close OUTFILE;

Bare in mind that I am still a beginner at coding. Why is it "good
practice" to create an object when using CGI, rather than just diving
in?
For example:
use CGI ':standard';
my $q=new CGI;
my $input=$q->param('input');
and
use CGI ':standard';
my $input=param('input');
both put the contents o

And if anyone tells me anything about the RequestHandler not being setup to
handle random URI's, I'll bite!
I'll fix that once I'm reasonable close ot done writing the dispatch table.
Eventually this beast will have SQL shoved into it and will begin making
database queries.
Thank you Randall Sch
You could escape them. That usualy works for me.
Example:
$dir= "\/\/ITC\/home\/techs";
Yes I know how sloppy that looks, but if it works and doesnt matter, why
worry bout it?
