At the end of your perl program, add the line:

Two things:
1) Your action parameter of the form tag was pointing to a separate program.
If you leave it blank (or leave it out altogether), then this same script
will process it.
2) You don't need to split param('list') - CGI.pm will automatically make an
array for you, if it contains multiple ent

MySQL can do a lot of this for you, I believe...
You want a random record from the database and retrieve a particular field
from that record:
# Untested, but you would call this subr
You can most likely preclude empty/invalid data with SQL. Let's say your
field/column name is 'name'. Then with your DBI prepare() call, you can
preclude records where name is blank, null, or whatever you'd like.
$sth = $dbh->prepare( 'SELECT * FROM table WHERE name IS NOT NULL' );
$sth->execute
I wrote this simple lil' diddy as a reusable module to check required fields and
wanted to share it. You can put this in a central .pl file to be required by any CGI
script that needs to verify that certain fields have been filled out. Probably makes
more sense to do this type of verification

Oops - found another little tweak - it should be $formHandle->param instead
of $formHandle->keywords (unless your form is using an search).
Sorry 'bout that...

I'm not familiar with WinCGI, but your code is missing the important shebang
line. I have Apache running on my Windoze box and my shebang is:
#!\Perl\bin\perl
Everything's off my C drive and the DOS path to Perl is: C:\Perl\bin\perl.

I posted the original message, but my code is not an alternative to CGI -
it's a supplement to validate a form-fed CGI script and that certain
elements were filled out by the user. It requires CGI, actually.

Well, I posted my method recently (see Re: Required Fields Module), BUT

Check out the CGI documentation - it's very thorough and has a lot of
excellent examples. Looking at the synopsis example, it looks like you're
missing an if ($q->param()) { ... } around the file uploading part of your
code. Give that a shot...

When you're running the script on the terminal, it's using your ID to
connect to the database server. When the webserver's running the script,
it's using the server process' ID.
I'm not sure if that's the right answer, thoug
I've never seen a MOVE command, but I wouldn't put it past someone like
Micro$oft or Oracle to put in a proprietary SQL command that would allow you
to do that. Just a word of warning: if you do find a MOVE command (or any

I'm working on a web site that's hosted by ValueWeb (not important, but they give you

there's no way to actually get the error_log output redirected for the life

Gotta know a few things ahead of time: what kind of server (Windows or
UNIX) and the location of the perl interpreter.
Making some gross assumptions, try:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello World!\n";

Next, see if the server has CGI installed:

You can also create/install modules without having telnet access, but it's
