Is there a way I can run my perl-scripts using a web-browser, and directing
the output to the browser. (Just like an ordinary CGI-script)
I don't want to install a web-server.
I use:
WinNT 4.00.1381; IE 5.5.50.4522.1800; perl, v5.6.0 built for
MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
Sorry if I passed the border of what's relevant in this newsgroup. At least
I considered this before posting, and decided that it's relevant enough. (I
may be wrong ... )

if you are using winnt client, i am sorry, there isn't a built in
server. if you are using winnt server, then install option pack 4. if
you have it, then use iis. sorry if this is hard to understand. i
can't type much more, as CT keeps me from typing much at all.

No.
CGI requires a web server.
(Unless you have a web browser that can execute Perl scripts directly,
of course. Maybe PerlScript may be able to help you, if you're on a
Windows system.)

Then the answer is No. (but what's up with installing a web server?)
But you could do something like this on the dos prompt:

yes, install a server... its not very hard.
Xitami.com has a free one that is small, fast, and runs cgi with no
tweaking. then your scripts can be fired up on your //localhost

.htaccess files are a unique feature for the Apache web servers. So the
documentetnation for Apache, or a newsgroup dedicated to this particular
webserver would be a better place to find out.

I'm kind of a newbie with Perl. I have installed ActivePerl in Win2K and it
appears to be working properly. I then installed ImageMagick with the
PerlMagick interface. But when I try to run a perl script which uses that
module, it gives me an error. If the script contains:
use Image::Magick;
I get the error:
Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.dll' for module
Image::Magick: load_file:The specified module could not be found at
C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 200.

---------------------
build/installing ImageMagick is NOT trivial if you try to do it manually
to get the "latest" Magick, especially on a windows machine. I have not
tried on win2k, but I know it took several tries to figure out
compatibility issues with ActivePerl on win98. I posted a very detailed
document of my solution a couple months ago for both PCs and non-root
UNIX webhosts. try using the Google search for something containing the
keywords "solution and magick". As I remember, the only thing that
worked on the PC was to use the ppm install utility to handle the
pre-compiled binaries correctly on the PC.

Thanks for your answer. Well, I did not mention the specific module(s)
because it happens *always* when a module uses one of the tests I
mentioned (date.t, message.t). If I remember it right, one of the
modules performing this test is libwww and another one is done during
installation of Bundle::XML.

When I have a problem like this, I think of two things:
1) Would I have the same problem in another computing language? If
I wrote your program in tcl, or c, would I still have the
same problem? If so, c.l.perl.misc is not the right place. It
is a cgi problem.
2) There is a group, comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi (or ciwac),
that apparently quite deftly handles the cases that fall between
perl and cgi. If I were unsure of a perl/cgi problem, I'd start
there.

False hubris because posting a FAQ rather than looking at the docs is saying

Mind you, I suppose this is literal hubris in the pejorative sense it once

Start by shunning that mantra of the ignorant, "doesn't run". Things
never just "don't work". They fail, and they fail in some specific way
that will tell you where the problem is, or at least where it isn't.
"Complains about an insecure dependency" is a useful starting point for
an investigation. So is "gives the expected output, but does not modify
the files it should." So is even "gives a 500 server error." But not
"it doesn't work!"
Once you know how it fails, you can ask yourself exactly what it is that
fails. Of course, sometimes you just can't narrow it down to a single
possible area. In that case, you first check the FAQs for *both* areas.
Then, if that didn't help, you post -- maybe even crosspost -- asking "I
can't tell if the following problem is caused by [foo] or by [bar]. Can
anyone suggest a way to figure out what the cause might be?"
The important thing is to be polite, and to offer enough information up
front so that the problem can be diagnosed in either case, preferably
even by people who themselves only know one of the areas. Say which
possibilities you've eliminated, too, both because that will save people
some extra work and because you _might_ have made a mistake there.
Most of all, show that you're willing to learn. Ask how to solve the
problem, not what the solution is. Ask how to tell the difference
between two kinds of problems, not which kind a particular problem is.
In the end, it all boils down to the impression you make. People are,
even here, more than willing to give you a push in the right direction.
They just don't want to start playing Sisyphus.
Ps. A good way to tell CGI and Perl problems apart is to test the script
from the command line. CGI.pm even has a convenient "offline mode" for
this. If your webspace provider doesn't give you shell access, install
Perl on your own computer. Actually, that would be a good idea anyway.

You almost certainly want to use HTML::Parser. I have some examples
that may get you started at http://www.gellyfish.com/htexamples/

Today the questions grow up...
How can I send out a mail when e.g. the reading of some parameters wasn´t
successful?
There is a nice perl module out there isn´t it?

Subject: Makefile question.
Message-Id: <9bmhjs$s7v$1@cpca14.uea.ac.uk>
Right, silly question but:
Any time I do perl Makefile.PL the Makefile produced contains
LDDLFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and sometimes CCFLAGS variables with the
options -arch i386 -arch ppc. Since this is on a powerpc (Mac OS X server)
the -arch i386 almost always makes 'make' die. If I edit the Makefile
by hand and remove -arch i386 from the file then the module will compile
usually without any problems.
However, this means I can't use perl -MCPAN -e shell (easily) and is
time consuming.
So how the heck do I get it *not* to stick in -arch i386 automagically?
Silly question I know, but any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
James

You could also build one with X11::Protocol, but that won't help too

See below for trivial X11::Protocol example.
