Are we talking programming languages like C to Perl?
Or "spoken" languages like Spanish to Italian?

Hi Casey et al,
Thanks for the useful information! I was just noticing that all of our
email addresses are available as-is on the discussion archives
(http://archive.develooper.com/beginners-cgi%40perl.org/) where they could
easily be harvested by evil spam-bots and used to send us junk.

Another quick dirty trick is to just put a
;
at the end of your script. This makes yours script wait for input. When
you hit "enter" it will terminate and the window will close. Of course,
this only works if your script gets to the end. If it runs into a compile
error, you'll see the error mes
Another neat trick I use to get subroutine arguments is the old "shift"
function without an argument.
Since, @_ is the default array in a subroutine you can just say
my $firstParm = shift; #shift off the first arg from @_
Therefore,
print add(30,50);
sub addTwo{
my $firstNum = shift;
I don't know much about suidperl but if I were doing this, I probably
wouldn't give root privileges to my CGI. If it doesn't need to happen
instantaneously, I'd consider a two-step approach: (of course, it probably
does need to run instantaneously since you're doing it as a CGI anyway...)

Wiggins(?) has a good point about calling the script remotely. But

Yup...I'm afraid this isn't possible within a browser (for security reasons)
but you could easily build a simple perl client that would (using LWP) make
a request to a CGI and save the result locally. The problem there is the
UI...If you're not using a browser to retrieve the info from a server, t
In my experience, the only character you really have to watch out for with
mySQL is a single quote (') which you can just replace with a double-single
quote (''). So I usually do something like this on each piece of text that
I plan to write to a database:
$someInput =~ s/'/''/g;

AFAIK, browsers will only send cookies back to the domain that set them. So
this may not be possible without some sneakerylike somehow spoofing the
hostname, etc. It may also be possible if all the domains resolve to the
same IP...but even then I'm not sure how you could do it...
good luck.
Well...I'd do something like this:
open(IN,"myFile.txt");
#by undefining the input separator (below),
#we can read the whole file as one scalar
undef $/;
my $fileContents= ;
close(IN);
print<
Here's my file:
$fileContents

voila!

Hi Emma,
I've just run this script in a similar environment Win2k/IIS with no
problems... This error usually occurs if you're script runs into an infinite
loop. But that doesn't appear to be the case here. You might try a simpler
script to get started with, such as

Season's greets, Eric & fellow Perlites:
Yes, chances are, if you're getting *something* but not an image, you're
either sending the wrong headers to the browser OR you're sending the right
headers and then getting a compilation error...Or both. On a windows
machine, there's also the possibility
If you're only uploading jpgs then you could also write this as
my ($name) = $path =~ /\w+\.jpg$/i;
since a regexp match returns an array, you're actually creating an array
with a single element ($name) and mapping it to the return from your match
$path =~ /etc/i; you're match says "one or more w
Hi Stephen,

Hi List,
Sorry if this is a little offtopic but I'm trying to learn DBI for a
CGI I'm writing. Been reading http://www.perldoc.com/cpan/DBI.html but
seems a little over complex for what I need...just inserts, updates, and
queries really. Portability isn't too important. Probably going to
Thanks to Rob for his Class::DBI suggestion earlier. Looks like what I

If you're using Apache, you can read from the magical environment hash to
see what URL the script was called from.
try this: $ENV{'REQUEST_URI'};
or print them all like so:

I'm not sure how this behaves with other servers such as IIS, but it's

Get the mother of all perl books:
"Programming Perl" (from O'reilly)
by Larry Wall (perl creator), Tom Christainsen, and Jon Orwant.
It moves at a comfortable pace and lets you dig as deep as you want. It's
also actually a fun read! Try saying that about most programming books.

I also had no problem...

I think the problem may be in the value of $file_completename...

If you're just trying to implement some sort of templating for the

ways to create objects that you reuse, etc.

Yes, as Jeff pointed out, if you're running it from a console,

Hey all,
Anyone move scripts between IIS and Apache or need to write scripts that
