If your book really says that, then it is a Bad Book.
Most Perl books are very poor. You need to be careful when
selecting a book. Looks like you got one of the many
rip-off Perl books.
What Perl book do you have that says that?
The ultimate authority for how perl works are the docs that
come with perl.
perldoc -f last
says: "exits the loop in question"
A "statement block" and "a loop" are not the same thing.

And that is what it does do.

Your book is wrong.
That is going to make learning Perl very difficult...
Get a *good* Perl book, or expect a bloody forehead :-)

Space is missing in "Content-type: text/html\n\n". But you don't
even want to do this unless printing error message.

This would best be answered on the *.authoring.cgi newsgroup. What
puzzles me is that you have /usr/sbin/perl at the top of the script and
are then attempting to run what appears to be a DOS/Win program
incorrectly. Backslashes need to be escaped or use regular slashes for a
path (Perl will do the right thing). So the path in $str should either be
c:\\myprog.exe or c:/myprog.exe.
How to send the file depends upon whether it is a temp file that you send
and then delete (unlink) or a permanent file that you redirect to. Do not
print any "Content-type: text/html\n\n" if you intent to send a file or
redirect, unless you are printing an error message.
If it is a temp file you open it, print a proper Content-type, binmode
the filehandle (maybe STDOUT too?), print it, close it and unlink it.
If redirecting to a file you should NOT print anything other than:
print "Location: http://www.yoursite.com/path_to/$filename\n\n";
For further info consult a CGI newsgroup and their FAQ's.

Well, you don't need to write a script to do this:

How do I do this.
I capture the IP adress and then want the www.xxxx.com/net etc etc name.
what function do I use.
A weird question for me, as I feel I shold know this by now, but I just
dont.
I had a look at perl.com, but didnt find anything, just a bunch of other
programming things to do with pinging and others.

Well constant.pm is part of the standard Perl distribution nowadays so it
has either been deleted or you have an old version of Perl - I would
recommend in either case that you install the latest version of Perl from

Perl4 does not support references in the way Perl5 does. However, Larry
included a bit of a hack to do this sort of thing (mostly to support the
debugger if my memory serves). Replace
&myfunc( \%myhash );
With
&myfunc( *myhash );
And it will work fine in all versions of perl. This is known as a
typeglob - see the camel book for more detail.

This has neither to do with perl nor with CGI. It has to do with HTML and
browser peculiarities. You would have better luck asking somewhere more
relevant.

It might also be no coincidence that you are not checking the success

open(CONFIG,"< $fname") || die "Cant open $fname - $!\n";

What do you get when you do 'httpd -l' - if you dont see mod_perl there
then you havent got mod_perl installed - you would probably be better off
asking in comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix for more information.

Subject: Perl and SSI
Message-Id: <3029eb15.edf8968c@usw-ex0101-007.remarq.com>
I am writing a little perl script that will create page titles on
the fly in the same way that page counters place gif image digits
on the fly.
I need to call the script using SSI with:
<!--#exec cgi="title.cgi" -->
Does anyone know a way of taking the filename of the page that
calls the CGI script and storing it as a string?
For example, if the CGI script is called from mypage.shtml, how
can I store "mypage.shtml" as a string in the script?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Rob Phillips.

This isn't a Perl problem. It's already telling you what happened...it
cannot find 'Configure'. Now, if you think really hard you might be able to

I work with Active Perl 522
I tested 613, but did not work as PerlScript
on my old Win95 system.
I hope for 614 to fix some small bugs.

Hi Bob,
There's another file you have to download.
ActivePerl-5.6.0.613.msi
Then run InstMsi.exe again, and the file mentioned
above will turn into an executable one.

The way I do this is to insert a .htaccess file in your
directory that looks like this.
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from none
then after login your script starts a session file and
rebuilds this .htaccess depending on the number of open sessions.
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from none
Allow from 206.171.###.###
Allow from 206.172.###.###
This gives them access to anything in that directory but just
giving out the web address to someone else will result in a 403 denied
error. Run a cron job to check the session files and delete them after
a certain time period and also rebuild the .htaccess file.
The session files should contain a time stamp and the IP of
the person logging in.

Like I figured. It was a very simple thing but something I had found
nowhere in all the tutorials I looked and also the docs at Apache. THE
MISSING LINK :
I had never seen the correct way to call the cgi script from the html file.
But, thanks to you, I got it.
Thanks again.

Paul,
Remember that CGI scripts have to be run by the
webserver, which has to know how to tell the difference
between serving a plain old HTML file and executing a
program who's output will be redirected to a web browser
(presumably). Usually, CGI scripts have to live in a special
directory which is specified in the Apache httpd.conf
file.
Of course, you'll want to look at http://www.apache.org
for more documentation on your server setup, but it might be
useful to check the O'Reilly CGI book here:
http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/cgi/
Good luck!

SMTP is for sending and receiving mail below the level
that users see, i.e. a transport. It's the system that
uses SMTP, not the user (normally).

POP3 will have a password protecting it (because POP is
about downloading and reading the mail of a specific user,
mail which was probably delivered using SMTP).
> It may be that my server doesn't have Net::SMTP
> installed, does it come as standard with version 5?? But
You can test this trivially with a small program, or just
ask the local sys admin if it's installed (if you don't
have that kind of access to the machine).
> even so I would have though a password would be needed
> to send mail??
Nope. Otherwise every user on every system connected to
the internet both directly and indirectly would need a
password on every machine that supports email on the
internet connected both directly and indirectly. I can't
remember 200000000 passwords :-)
You'll have to post the code you're using to get any
further help. If you can't do that for whatever reason,
make up a small example that demonstrates the same
behaviour and post that, along with error messages etc.
