Mainting State On IIS 4 Without Cookies/Hidden Fields

2001-06-26 Thread David Simcik
Hi, I'm looking for a way to maintain session-like state in my perl scripts running on IIS. While I'm certain I've seen modules for this under Apache, are there any equivalents under IIS? I certainly willing to look at workarounds as well. :-) Thanks. DTS

Perl Boilerplate???

2001-06-28 Thread David Simcik
Hey, I, like the rest of you, am always looking for ways to make my life more convenient. Especially when coding. To this end, I am looking to fashion a well-rounded template doc that I can use in Homesite (where I do most of my work right now) made up of the essential pieces I'd expect to

Embedding HTML in XML - Slightly OT

2001-07-30 Thread David Simcik
Hey folks, I think this is a relatively simple question, but it has puzzled me a bit lately. How does one embed fully marked up HTML "data" into an XML document without accidentally parsing the HTML??? This is probably deceptively simple, but I haven't a clue. ;-) Thanks, DTS -- To uns

Best Practices: Error Handling???

2001-08-14 Thread David Simcik
I've been perusing the Camel book, the Cookbook, CGI Programming w/Perl, and Effective Perl for answers to this question, but have yet to find one or two definitive solutions. I've seen the standard die/eval() statements and the use of the various incarnations of Carp, but I have yet to see anyon

Passing Scalar Reference to Subroutine

2001-08-16 Thread David Simcik
Newbie question here... I've created a CGI.pm object and want to pass its reference to a function. It keeps on puking though, returning this message: Type of arg 1 to main::isPresent must be scalar (not single ref constructor) at C:\src\Orion\cgi-bin\share.pl line 45, near "$user)" Basically, I

FW: Searching for Particular XML Element Values???

2001-08-22 Thread David Simcik
Hey folks, I'm working on a simple app that doesn't allow for any true DB persistent storage/access of data. I only need a small amount of data access anyways, but I would like to structure it a bit via XML/DTD. What I'd REALLY like to do is have the ability to search the entire XML docume

Access Denied When Trying to Create Directory?

2001-09-04 Thread David Simcik
Hey all, I'm simply trying to create a directory on a mapped (remote) drive from a CGI script using the mkdir() function. I keep on getting "Access Denied" errors or the like every time I try to create a new directory. What do I need to do to assign the proper rights to my script so it can

A Framework for Building An WML/HTML Application Using Perl???

2001-09-10 Thread David Simcik
Hey all, I'm trying to modify an existing script that searches a test file for what one could qualify as normal phonebook style entries; name, phone #, email addy, etc. We've got an internal presentation coming up in two weeks, and my boss would like to WAP-ify this directory for it. That

Win32::FileSecurity::Set() Woes

Hey folks, To sum things up, I've got two servers: one in an NT Domain and one not in an NT Domain. I would like to set NTFS permissions on shared directories residing on the server in the NT Domain using a Perl/CGI script running off of the other server without a domain. Big Problem. I've

Hey folks, I'm trying to cobble together some form of authentication mechanism on a website I am building for a friend. His ISP uses Perl & Apache (it's on a linux box). I (obviously) don't have root priviledges and have limited access to the filesystem. What are my options (if any)??? I t

Expiring Form Content

2001-10-22 Thread David Simcik
Howdy! Got a bit of a newbie question here (naturally)-how does one expire form content after a user has submitted the form? As annoying as it may be, I would like that wonderful dialog box to popup in IE and ask me if I want to "attempt" to repopulate the form (even if it would be unsucce
