Subject: Perl CGI parameters in the URL?
Message-Id: <8mmldu$68p$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
I would like to create a link to a cgi script
including "command line parameters". I
thougth the way to do this is:
<href source"scipt.cgi?name=value"> , but it
does not work. I also tried to replace the '?'
with '#', but it did not help. In the script,
$name = $cgi->param('name')
is always empty.
So how should I create my link and how
shoud I read the paramters in the script
passed in the URL?
I really read all the FAQs at perl.com and could
not find an answer. Please help...
Thank you,

Try using this:
<a href="script.cgi?name=value">
making sure script.cgi is in a directory that CGI can be executed
from. For instance if it's in /cgi-bin, the anchor would need to be
<a href="/cgi-bin/script.cgi?name=value">

This is fine so long as you've created $cgi as a CGI object with
$cgi = nee CGI;

Subject: Perl on Windows - how to keep the window
Message-Id: <398EED1B.B2407334@email.sps.mot.com>
I wrote a little perl program on my PC yesterday
and it worked fine.
My problem was the DOS window that perl ran in
disappeared as soon as the program completed -
I couldn't read the terminal output.
How do I get the window to stay up? (I worked around
this by having the program read a line from the terminal.)

Open a DOS window
Start -> Programs -> MS-DOS Prompt
change to the directory your script is in (or set DOS window Properties
-> Working to the directory you want), and then execute it from the
command line like so:
perl scriptname
Or get PFE from http://www.lancs.ac.uk/people/cpaap/pfe/ which allows
you to execute your script from within PFE and returns output in one of
its own windows.

In the above statement I assume you mean that $test should contain a
reference to $var1 (if you want $test to contain the _value_ of $var1
use an assignment).
This is covered nicely in
perldoc perlref
$var1 = 'This is some stuff in $var1';
$test = \$var1; # store a reference to $var1 in $test
print $$test; # dereference the reference to $var1 in $test
BTW, your post is off-topic for comp.lang.perl.modules.

Also you should read a newsgroup before you post.
This question has bee asked a few times... a week for as long as I've
been reading this group.
Please get it into your head that placing a much higher value your
time more than ours is very rude.
> Newsgroups: comp.lang.perl.misc,comp.lang.perl.modules
What does this have to do with modules?
Crossposting to irrelevant newsgroups to increase your exposure is
rude. OK it's not as rude as multi-posting but it is still rude.
Please don't plead ignorance. The rudeness of these actions can be
determined from first principles - you should not need to be told that
they are rude.

Yes.

You do not mean that. You mean you want to print out the the result
of evaluating the expression in $test.
print eval $test;
But I don't think that's really what you wanted to ask. I think you
really wanted to ask about sybolic refs:
$var1 = 0;
$i=1;
$test = "var$i";
print $$test;
> does anyone know how to implement it?
Avoid getting into the situation. Never use sybolic references or
eval(EXPR) unless there is no better way. In most cases the better
way is to use hashes, or arrays or hard references.

What you are trying to do is called soft (symbolic) references. You
almost certainly don't need them. They're slower, munge the global
symbol table, and don't work under 'strict'. The general consensus here
is that you should never use symrefs unless (1) You know *why* you
shouldn't use them, and (2) You know that you *need* to. Hard references
are far preferred:
$var1 = 0;
$test = \$var1;
print $$test;
I'm guessing that you want to have $var1, $var2, etc. If that's the
case, why not use an array? If you tell us what you're trying to do, we
can probably show you a better way.

Huh, that is a new one to me. I don't really see a need to encourage people
to be less friendly, but maybe that is just me. Do folks actually use that as

The specifier .*$ at the end of a regex is superfluous.

Message-Id: <398ecec5.59740552@news.vt.edu>
I know- the mail module is supposed to be simple- tho I think my perl
inxperience is what's killing me here.
My goal is for this script to take stdin [from a sql program] to email
someone.
I believe my problem is I don't know how to get the stdin part done
right. syntactically the to => part needs single quotes... and this
is where i become a perl idiot... the standard in does not have the
quotes, and even if it does it still pukes
Many TIA

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

So remove it. I think you wanted:

I can't argue that this is untrue, but I'm happy to see this discussion
here. Here is my arguably bad reason:
The signal / noise ratio here is rounding area. And most of the off-topic
and FAQ stuff is so galactically uninteresting that it makes many wonder
if it is worth coming here ar all. At least this is interesting, and
given Perl's power and flexability it is probably more called upon for
evil than any other language. Many of the readers here have no doubt been
placed in this situation. I have.
Let's let this thread slide. Killfile it with a smile if you will. :-)

Kinda fun isn't it, this writing code to do something
experts proclaim you can only do with a module. I learn
more about programming by writing code, then finding my
bugs and mistakes, fixing them, than I do or would by
copy and paste of a module reference.
My presumption is you have exhaustively tested this
code and it works just fine, sans module. Only style
difference I would note and, this is just a personal
style notion, I would not use warnings nor strict.
Both slow your program down and bloat memory usage.
No real need for those in a program this simple.
Perhaps on your ' or die ' I would change this to
if (!($input)) .. flush the filehandle .. open (IN ..
and try for a second opening, then die if a second
try failed.
If I wrote code again, for this task, I would try
for code which simply substrings and substitutes
in situ, and not even worry about html tags other
than their relative numerical position in a string.
Good to read there is at least one other who can
write code to do what others claim only a module
can do.

I did just that (I forgot the "<A" only in my original post, not in the
html file) and the cgi is definitly executing, and I try to
print "Parameter: $name" , it outputs just "Parameter:".

Yes, I did so.

What is wrong with simply typing "perl myfile.pl" (assuming the file was
saved as myfile.pl)?

I need to upload two pictures with a cgi script via a form.
Can someone point me in the right direction as to good modules/methods to
use for this.
Thanks,

Yes, use directives only get processed at compile time, regardless of
where they appear in the script. Only exception (that i know of) is
within eval statements.

This is answered in the obvious place: perldoc -f use
If you have questions about a given Perl builting function it's easier
for you (and a lot cheaper in terms of the global Perl user
communities human resources) to check the manual entry for that
function rather than post a long question to Usenet.
BTW: the answer is "yes".

Hi there. If you are doing filtering of incoming mail with Perl, you
might look at Mail::Audit. It is discussed in the most recent issue of
The Perl Journal and seems to be mega-spiffy. I plan to hack with it a
bit later on today.
Good luck!

Message-Id: <null>
Administrivia:
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.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.
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.
