Subject: Can't write to a text file through CGI-Perl
Message-Id: <e1c7fb54.0408300752.33936253@posting.google.com>
Hi,
I have perl program and it writes some data to a text file that is in
cgi-bin/log. And this file does not exist. So the program creates it
and then writes to it.
When I run the perl program from shell it creates and writes to the
text file fine.
But when I run the same program from http as a cgi, it gives me an
error saying that I do not have permission to create or write to this
file.
The cgi-bin has 0755 and log directory in cgi-bin also has 0755
permission settings.
Is there anything else I should do.
When I run from shell, I login as root.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Kishore.

"When I run from shell, I login as root"
There's your answer. root has permission to write to any directory.
I doubt that the owner of the http process has the same permissions
unless (forbid) you're running as root.
Change ownership of the log directory to the same user as is running
the webserver.

And here too. I dare you to show me one posting where a well-reasoned
question is posted with relevant info that isn't answered in a FAQ, that
doesn't get a serious answer in response.
The problem is that 90% of the posts here are the kind that wouldn't

No, most folk starting out should get tutorial books or take training
classes, not ask their first question in the first two hours on here
or any other free resource.
Programming is not trivial. It takes study and discipline, and not
running to mommy every time something doesn't work. Unless you're
paying mommy to stand there. :)

Please note, the programming language you are probably talking about is
called Perl, the interpreter for Perl is called perl.
If you really want to discuss PERL (whatever that may be), then you came to
the wrong place.
Some people are very particular about the proper spelling.

Perl comes with an extensive online documentation. You should become
familiar with it asap.
Once you've installed the Perl system just do a "perldoc -q <SubjectMatter>"
to search the FAQ for "SubjectMatter".
A quick search for "book" ("perldoc -q book") reveals:
<FAQ>
Perl Books
A number of books on Perl and/or CGI programming are available.
A few of these are good, some are OK, but many aren't worth your
money. Tom Christiansen maintains a list of these books, some
with extensive reviews, at
http://www.perl.com/perl/critiques/index.html .
The incontestably definitive reference book on Perl, written by
the creator of Perl, is now (July 2000) in its third edition:
Programming Perl (the "Camel Book"):
by Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, and Jon Orwant
0-596-00027-8 [3rd edition July 2000]
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pperl3/
(English, translations to several languages are also
available)
The companion volume to the Camel containing thousands of
real-world examples, mini-tutorials, and complete programs is:
The Perl Cookbook (the "Ram Book"):
by Tom Christiansen and Nathan Torkington,
with Foreword by Larry Wall
ISBN 1-56592-243-3 [1st Edition August 1998]
http://perl.oreilly.com/cookbook/
If you're already a hard-core systems programmer, then the Camel
Book might suffice for you to learn Perl from. If you're not,
check out
Learning Perl (the "Llama Book"):
by Randal Schwartz and Tom Christiansen
with Foreword by Larry Wall
ISBN 1-56592-284-0 [2nd Edition July 1997]
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lperl2/
Despite the picture at the URL above, the second edition of
"Llama Book" really has a blue cover and was updated for the
5.004 release of Perl. Various foreign language editions are
available, including *Learning Perl on Win32 Systems* (the
"Gecko Book").
If you're not an accidental programmer, but a more serious and
possibly even degreed computer scientist who doesn't need as
much hand-holding as we try to provide in the Llama or its
defurred cousin the Gecko, please check out the delightful book,
*Perl: The Programmer's Companion*, written by Nigel Chapman.
Addison-Wesley (http://www.awlonline.com/) and Manning
(http://www.manning.com/) are also publishers of some fine Perl
books such as Object Oriented Programming with Perl by Damian
Conway and Network Programming with Perl by Lincoln Stein.
An excellent technical book discounter is Bookpool at
http://www.bookpool.com/ where a 30% discount or more is not
unusual.
What follows is a list of the books that the FAQ authors found
personally useful. Your mileage may (but, we hope, probably
won't) vary.
Recommended books on (or mostly on) Perl follow.

First learn how to parse MIB's (pretty simple).
Then learn RegEx's, after that you can use IO::Socket or one
of the SNMP modules on CPAN to issue SNMP commands.

Subject: Net::SSH::Perl to connect to a remote server via a web page
Message-Id: <cgv8q9$7991@nrn2.NRCan.gc.ca>
Hi,
I'm trying to use Net::SSH::Perl to connect to a remote server via a web
page. The webserver is running as an unprivileged user (webserve).
This code does work fine from the command line (as user webserve), but when
I try the same code from the web interface, it prints everything up to the
$ssh->cmd() line...
Is this a security feature? Any solution for something like this to work?
Thanks!

print "<html><body>\n";
print "Testing Net::SSH::Perl\n";
my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new("$server", port=>'22', protocol=>'1,2');
print "1...<br>";
$ssh->login($un, $pw);
print "2...<br>";
my ($stdout, $stderr, $exit) = $ssh->cmd("ls");

You were looking at the wrong place. Your problem has nothing to do with
Perl.

You must have missed the first day of the "Basics of Computer Numerics"

==> Thou shalt not use equality tests for floating point numbers
Futher details see e.g. "perldoc -q 999" and google.com
Hint: instead of comparing for equality you can test if the numbers are
within an epsilon distance of each other.

By the grace of God and great good luck. *Never* test a floating-point
number for equality; floating-point numbers are approximations, and
may not line up equal when they should

You got an infinite loop, right?

Comparing floating-point numbers for equality does not work
reliably; don't do it. In the above example, use "until ($var >= 1.2)"
(or 1.1). Then your program will always come to halt. In fact,
in the above example, you could use "until ($var >=1.15)" (or
1.05). Now, not only will your program always come to a halt, it
will always come to a halt where you expect it to. Always remember
to make allowances for the imprecision of float-point.

To end a loop like that, I'd use
until ( $var >= 1.1 )
That way you don't have to use and (the hard part) decide about an epsilon.
In fact, I tend to control loops with inequalities rather than equalities
even with integers, just in case an index is somehow skipped.

Print, with the default (STDOUT) file handle. Does that go through
syswrite?
If this is indeed the correcxt version, do I report the bug to CPAN?
If not, what is the proper URL?

perl is saying:

1) don't slurp large files.
2) figure out where the memory is going. Don't spend time optimizing

What do you mean to convey to us with this posting? Do you have a question?
Is this the solution of some problem (which problem?)? Did you just make and

communicate on Usenet because only very few people are mind readers.
