Hi,
The HTML4 spec reads:
"Each scripting language has its own conventions for referring to HTML
objects from within a script. This specification does not define a
standard mechanism for referring to HTML objects. However, scripts should

Note that this is only set for authenticated pages. You didn't mention if
your script autheticates or not.

Yes, that works, but escaping characters can get very ugly on screen.
Another option is the qq operator:

Hi,
When a CGI script runs from the command line but not from the web server,
a common culprit is permissions. Be sure that anything the script does,
like create files, write to files, read files, execute commands, etc, are
allowed for the web server user and group.

Hi,
Have you printed the variable $vars::name to be sure it contains what you
think it does?
Also, try the grep command:
open(LINKS, "$statedir/links.dat") or die "Error at LINKS: $!\n"
my @all_matches = grep (/$vars::name/, );
&print_link (@all_matches)
You can use arguments to grep to get in

Hi,
To get the server, you can send a telnet request to port 80 and read the
header:
telnet www.cnn.com 80
Connected to cnn.com.
GET / HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Netscape-Enterprise/4.1
Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 18:40:20 GMT
etc.
Be sure you enter two blank lines after the GET request.

Hi,
One thing to do is to be sure that the db user who accesses the db
from a web page has properly restricted rights within the database.
For example, in mysql, you can set table and column priveledges for each
user and table.

Hi,
You can do a couple of things.
1) just print a Location: header like
if ($name eq 'invader') {
print "Location:http://www.foo.com/invader\n\n";;
}
Or, using CGI.pm, use the redirect function:
if ($name eq 'invader') {
print redirect('http://www.foo.com/invader');

Sure it is. In fact, you always want to trap errors in a web app so you

Hi,
If you mean top reasons why a script produces an error?
1) The script is trying to do something that the http user can't do.
2) Your script is not executable.
3) The script directory is not a recognized script directory.
4) The script doesn't produce a valid HTTP header.
5) The script tries
