Hi,
I ll follow the advice of one of you who generously asked me to go through
a book on perl, first, then try to set cgi on my web server. But just
before running to the library, my generous linux pal said : "
Your program should compile
cleanly with perl -c query.pl before you even think about using it as a cgi."
. Just adding that query.pl was a little cgi script I did put in my
cgi-bin directory and that I ve never been able to run.
So I just want to know what this person means by "compile cleanly with perl
-c
query.pl". Does that mean that it's not enough just to create a cgi-script
query.pl and hope that it'll work. Should I first launch the
command "perl -c query.pl" that will compile it..then..Anyway, I ll let
you give me more clarifications on that.
A last question: What would you suggest me as a Good perl book, with not
much theory, but that is all about straightforward indications,
techniques and bring me quickly and efficiently to a good understanding of
CGI-Perl dynamic web server set up.
Thanks
Marc
