Subject: Strange string formatting error
Message-Id: <lR3kf.286$5V1.97@trnddc02>
I've written some helper perl scripts to pull data from a mysql database
and output the data to a textfile for inclusion on a web front page that
I am using.
When I output the data directly from a script, I get strange garbled
characters rather than expected punctuation.
http://test.bluesites.net/topstory.html
When the page is filtered through drupal's rendering engine, the problem
gets solved:
http://test.bluesites.net
I suspect that this has something to do with the strings being encoded in
some format that my perl interpreter isn't set up to recognize, but the
pho interpreter used by drupal appears to. I haven't really been able to
describe the problem in a way that has given me useful leads to fixing
the problem in google or google groups, can someone point me in the right
direction?
TIA

Hi,
I'm trying to parse a URL string with the help of the CGI module. I'm sure
this is really simple but I just can't seem to retrieve the first variable
after the question mark in the URL - my code returns nothing for this
variable - variables after this are printed as expected. I've tried looking
at the perldoc but I still can't figure out why this isn't working... Any
help appreciated!
Thanks,
Francis.
# Example Code
use warnings;
use strict;
use CGI;
my $URL =
"http://.someurl.com/somepath?test1=testresult1&test2=testresult2&test3=testresult3";
my $test = new CGI($URL);
print $test -> param('test1');
print $test -> param('test2');
print $test -> param('test3');
