Subject: "Program Working" web page ?
Message-Id: <f0tqm3tc61gt410iq9fjl75v21rm3dlrdu@4ax.com>
What is/are the technical approach(s) used to display "program
working" web pages?
I understand the cgi cycle well... and I'm thinking that if I send a
response page to the user with "program working" that then I'm all
done - I can't send another page of output with the program results.
I have a program that sometimes takes a little bit of time to run and
unless the used watches the browser indicators, I'm concerned that
they will terminate it early (before the results are sent to them).
I can think of some ways to do this with Javascript in the client, but
are there techniques to do this with cgi headers that are server
driven?
Thanks,

Exactly the same as you would use if your program were written in C,
Pascal, VB, or any other programming language.
Why don't you ask in a NG that is actually dedicated to discussing web
programming instead of in a NG that is about the Perl programming
language.

Well, because many of the folks here who write Perl are well versed in
using Perl for CGI applications and I know that some of them likely
have the expertise to answer the question. In addition, there are no
active groups that I know of that are dedicated to a discussion of CGI
programming at this detailed level without being bound to some
specific programming language.

My solution is to send some characters to visitor's browser and some
"needless" spaces to overfill browser's buffer.
print "program working, please wait ";
foreach my $cycle (1..10)
{
print ".", ' 'x512;
sleep 2;
}
print "<br>Done";
Maybe this help you.

I can accept "some", but "many" is a bit strong. I know *many* people who
have *never* written a CGI app in Perl, and yet are quite versed in Perl.
Heck, I was even in that camp for the first half dozen years of my Perl
experience.

This is also incorrect. CIWAC (comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi) certainly
covers this. I haven't poked my head in there lately, but it's definitely a
CGI group that is language agnostic.

That group has been defunct for 15 months, so your mentioning of ciwac
won't likely make a difference.
I thought you were aware of it, btw.

Message-Id: <476DCDEE.1FBEE5A6@earthlink.net>
I just loaded WinXP on my wife's computer. I hate that OS.
I just noticed that the command prompt window scrolls
real slow. I did some searching and don't see an easy way
to correct this. Does anybody have a recommendation
on how to fix it?
Obviously, I could just output my Perl output to a test file,
but I'd like an way to fix the cmd window so I wouldn't
need a separate list of perl scripts to run on the WinXP
computer.

Subject: File Upload/Download Program - FTP w/password via Perl cgi?
Message-Id: <a4rqm3di5clu6duonloh4ibfnn02gufim0@4ax.com>
I'm looking for some general advice on an approach to providing file
upload/download abilities using Perl through FTP to/from a web host.
I'm trying to build a web based interface that will allow novice users
to upload and download files. I need some sort of security so that one
user does not have access to another user's data. I am hoping to
utilize the servers FTP user/pass security to control access so that I
don't have to build that via a more complex d/b application. So, the
program would do a "login" of sorts to verify access and then upload
the files, or provide download of the files, as needed.
Is this a reasonable idea? Or should I just dash the idea and create
some sort of application based user/pass system?
If it makes sense, I could use some pointers to examples, etc, that
will help me on my way. I'm light on Perl skills, so be gentle :-)
Thanks,

Your subject line says you want a regex. The tr/// operator doesn't use regular expressions.

There is only one ASCII escape character in there, *the* ASCII escape character. The other characters '[', '2', '1', ';', '3', '2', 'H', etc. are just normal ASCII characters.

You need to remove the ANSI escape sequences:
