You need a SUID script. First it needs to be owned by root:
#chown root [scriptname]
Then you need to make it setuid:
#chmod u+s [scriptname]
You need to be sure if your Perl version has been compiled to interpret
correctly setuids scripts. If not you should rebuild it with the aproppriate
flag (check the perl install docs).
And last but not least: You need to be ***very*** careful with SUID cgi
scripts!! Remember that anything there will be executed with root
privileges. You can confine the danger only to a specific part of the script
changing the effective uid during runtime with '$>' (if your system supports
it) .
Anyway Perl comes in your rescue turning any suid script automatically to
'taint' mode (-t).
I hope this helps.

Subject: Can I do this w/ Perl?
Message-Id: <36d78f01.14244715@news.tiac.net>
There are two applications I'd like and I'm wondering if I can do them
with Perl, and what the degree of difficulty of each would be (low,
medium, or high).
First, I'm the administrator of a soccer league. I need to collect
scores. Can I set up a web page where the managers can logon and
enter their own scores.
Second, I'd like to have users enter events on a web based calendar.
Is Perl a good language for these application and how hard would it be
to do them? I can write HTML reasonably well, and do some elementary
programming (PAL and OPAL).

Do I always/never have to quote my strings or use semicolons and commas?
Normally, a bareword doesn't need to be quoted, but in most cases
probably should be (and must be under `use strict'). But a hash key
consisting of a simple word (that isn't the name of a defined
subroutine) and the left-hand operand to the `=>' operator both count as
though they were quoted:
This is like this
------------ ---------------
$foo{line} $foo{"line"}
bar => stuff "bar" => stuff
The final semicolon in a block is optional, as is the final comma in a
list. Good style (see the perlstyle manpage) says to put them in except
for one-liners:
if ($whoops) { exit 1 }
@nums = (1, 2, 3);
if ($whoops) {
exit 1;
}
@lines = (
"There Beren came from mountains cold",
"And lost he wandered under leaves",
);

How do I skip some return values?
One way is to treat the return values as a list and index into it:
$dir = (getpwnam($user))[7];
Another way is to use undef as an element on the left-hand-side:
($dev, $ino, undef, undef, $uid, $gid) = stat($file);

Thanks a lot, I was fixated on using the format STDOUT = structure.
Now I have a 2nd question, I really don't want to print this to the screen, I
want to mail it to someone using the Net::SMTP module. Right now I'm doing
something like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$domain = "mydomain.com";
open (DOMAIN, ">/tmp/foo");
print DOMAIN <<EOF;
hello $domain,
EOF
close (DOMAIN);
open (DOMAIN, "/tmp/foo");
@body = <DOMAIN>;
close (DOMAIN);
$smtp->datasend(@body);
Just to get the nicely formated <<EOF stuff into @body so that I can send it
using the smtp module. I tried doing something like "@body = print <<EOF" but
print only returns true if it succeeds. Could I do something like telling
perl that DOMAIN isn't really a file, but rather the array @body? I thought
of doing something like:
$domain = "mydomain.com";
while (<DATA>) {
push @foo, $_;
}
print @foo;
__DATA__
Hello, $domain, how are you?
But it prints "Hello, $domain..." and doesn't fill it in (nor should it). I
thought that eval() might handle it, but I couldn't get it to work.
Is it just me, or is anyone else oppossed to opening temporary files to dump
data into? I would rather keep all this stuff just in variables.

Subject: Newbie Perl32 Question
Message-Id: <6HKB2.268$Rl2.11763012@news.en.com>
I just installed Perl32 on windows98 and PWS.
I can get the scripts to run from command line, but the HTML examples, I'm
not sure how to call the scriptsin the pages instead of #!/usr/local/bin
I thought I saw some instructions to make #! work when it is in an HTML
page. It just prints out the source code in the browser right now.
Once that works, do I change the correct path to the default perl32
installation directory like #!perl\bin ?
I know how to run cgi scripts on an Apache server but I'm kinda lost with
the PWS and perl.
TIA

Dear,
I wrote perl script to post message to ICQ WWPager like this.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Socket;
sub Commu_SendICQ {
local($no,$msg,$name) = @_;
local($r);
$r = &Connect80('wwp.icq.com',

}
sub Connect80 {
local($host,$method,$script,$ref,$param) = @_;
($sockaddr,$there,$response,$tries) = ("Snc4x8");
$there = pack($sockaddr,2,80,&getaddress($host));
($a,$b,$c,$d) = unpack('C4',$hostaddr);
$proto = (getprotobyname('tcp'))[2];
if(!socket(S,AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,$proto)) { return $Commu_CONNECTFAIL;
}
if(!connect(S,$there)) { return $Commu_CONNECTFAIL; }
select(S); $|=1;
select(STDOUT);
print S "$method $script HTTP/1.1\n";
print S "Referer: $ref\n";
print S "Host: $host\n";

close(S);
print @res;
}
sub getaddress {
local($host) = @_;
local(@ary);
@ary = gethostbyname($host);
return(unpack("C4",$ary[4]));
}
When I call &Commu_ICQ('1234567','test','test'); there is response
like this.
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Nothing more... And there is no any message sent to me.
I try this script with other post forms, wwwboard or guestbook, it
works very good.
What's wrong??

this is interesting but what if the program and saved are in different

]To do so, send mail to majordomo@eyrie.org with "subscribe clpm" in the
]body. Majordomo will then send you instructions on how to confirm your
]subscription. This is provided as a general service for those people who
]cannot receive the newsgroup for whatever reason or who just prefer to
]receive messages via e-mail.
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.
The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
