I don't see the advantage of having a single CGI do a bunch of unrelated
stuff. That seems like a disadvantage to me.

If you want to spend 5 minutes writing a new form, and have it look like it
was written in 5 minutes, I'd stick with CGI.pm. If you want your forms to
look like they were designed by a professional graphics artist with a lot
of time on their hands (and are actually willing to hire one to spend that
time!) then I certainly wouldn't CGI.pm, although I don't exactly what to
recommend instead.
I'm from the get-er-done school myself.

Hello again,
of course if you don't want to see Excel on the screen and you want
to
completly automate the ploting and the saving of your GIF file, just
set $app->{'Visible'} to 0 inside ok1.pl and ok.pl; like this:
$app->{'Visible'} =3D 0;
That's all.
Thank you,

I encourage your good attitude!

I was disappointed by the first thing I looked for. :-(
They do not have both of these in them:
use warnings;
use strict;
Please update your programs to work silently with both of those enabled.
More people will be willing to try it then.

In trying to recompile SSHD and friends from the tarball I ran into

I guess you didn't read the second paragraph before replying.

OK, so at least Firefox refetches and redraws just the image when you
serve it up with Refresh header.
Huh. Didn't know that one. Live and learn, I guess.

I couldn't post a working example because I have no idea of the kind
of file the OP wanted to print. In my example, I assumed that it was
some kind of ASCII file (maybe ASCII are) but it could have been
something else.
Working code also requires a working HTTP server set up to serve CGI
scripts. I just dashed this off at work, while waiting on some other
processes to complete, and didn't have access to such. If I had, I
would have picked up on the omission of the Copntent-type header right
away.
Still, none of that prevented me from making the point that the OP
really couldn't use CGI for doing what he said he wanted to do. I just
wanted to illustrate that point as well as I could while taking a
short break at work.

The code is really trivial, but here it is:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# refresh_html2.cgi
use warnings;
use strict;
print "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n";
print "\n";
print "<html>\n";
print " <head>\n";
print " <title>Refresh header test</title>\n";
print " </head>\n";
print " <body>\n";
print " <h1>Refresh header test</h1>\n";
print " <p>This script tests the effect of a Refresh header on an\n";
print " embedded image. The page should not be reloaded, but the\n";
print " image should.</p>\n";
print " <p>Time: ", scalar(gmtime), "</p>\n";
print " <iframe width='200', height='200' src='refresh_img.cgi'></iframe>\n";
print " <p>Time: ", scalar(gmtime), "</p>\n";
print " </body>\n";
print "</html>\n";
__END__
#!/usr/bin/perl
# refresh_img.cgi
use warnings;
use strict;
use Imager;
use Math::Trig qw(deg2rad);
print "Content-Type: image/png\n";
print "Refresh: 1\n";
print "\n";
my $img = Imager->new(xsize=>200, ysize=>200, channels=>4);
my ($sec, $min, $hour) = gmtime;
my $red = Imager::Color->new(255, 0, 0);
my $black = Imager::Color->new(0, 0, 0);
$img->circle(x => 100, y => 100, r => 99, color => $black, filled => 0);
$img->line(x1 => 100, y1 => 100,
x2 => 100 + sin(deg2rad($sec * 6)) * 90,
y2 => 100 - cos(deg2rad($sec * 6)) * 90,
color => $red);
$img->line(x1 => 100, y1 => 100,
x2 => 100 + sin(deg2rad($min * 6)) * 80,
y2 => 100 - cos(deg2rad($min * 6)) * 80,
color => $red);
$img->line(x1 => 100, y1 => 100,
x2 => 100 + sin(deg2rad($hour * 15)) * 70,
y2 => 100 - cos(deg2rad($hour * 15)) * 70,
color => $red);
$img->write(fh => \*STDOUT, type => 'png');
__END__
The relevant parts are the use of an iframe in the first script (it
doesn't work with <img/>, at least not with Firefox) and the Refresh
header in the second script.

No, it doesn't work at all. You are aware of 'perldoc -q "remove HTML"'?
The examples given there for why REs are not suitable to parse HTML
apply just as well for your limited scope of only 7 tags.
If you want to parse HTML then use a parser for HTM but don't dwadle
with home-brewn RE approaches. Those can't work as has been discussed ad
nauseam before.

You have nothing between $1 and $2 or between $2 and $3 so why not just
use one pair of capturing parentheses:
$text =~ s/<(\/?(?:div|span|table|tr|td|font|img).*?)>/$lt$1$gt/gsi;

Yes, that is how alternation works. Each alternative can be any valid
pattern, including strings.

No, that would not make sense.

I hit on the right search terms (if only I knew what they were).
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=862 by ambrus, from 2005, points to
perlsyn. The current version says
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Declarations
The only things you need to declare in Perl are report formats and
subroutines (and sometimes not even subroutines). A variable holds
the undefined value ("undef") until it has been assigned a defined
value, which is anything other than "undef". When used as a number,
"undef" is treated as 0; when used as a string, it is treated as the
empty string, ""; and when used as a reference that isn't being
assigned to, it is treated as an error. If you enable warnings,
you'll be notified of an uninitialized value whenever you treat
"undef" as a string or a number. Well, usually. Boolean contexts,
such as:
my $a;
if ($a) {}
are exempt from warnings (because they care about truth rather than
definedness). Operators such as "++", "--", "+=", "-=", and ".=",
that operate on undefined left values such as:
my $a;
$a++;
are also always exempt from such warnings.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I would put it as: A Boolean context is a scalar context, but it does
not convert values to be either string or a number. Therefore, undef
in a boolean context evaluates as false without producing a
uninitialized warning.
Also, "when used as a reference that isn't being assigned to, it is
treated as an error" does not appear to be accurate.
$x = undef;
if (exists $x->{notdef}) {
print "Huh?\n";
}
printf "after bad ref #3 [%s] [%d] [%s]\n", ref $x,
scalar keys %{$x}, join(',', keys %{$x});
produces only
after bad ref #3 [HASH] [0] []
That is, it doesn't create a something->{notdef} element, but it does
assign $x a reference to a new hash, and there's no error or warning.
I need to go read up on autovivification.

Eating is common across every field of human endeavor. Mastery of a
programming environment seems common only in programming.
'Rudeness' is much a matter of convention. I certainly did not
perceive myself as rude in my original post. I'm sorry if others did,
but I don't control how others feel.
In any case, my comment about penumbras stands. There is no bright
line between things that are 'clearly' off topic and those that
'clearly' on topic. In any case, I strongly disagree that IN THE
GENERAL CASE questions relating to regular expressions are ALWAYS off
topic. I just did a search for regex questions in clpm, and found
thousands of them. If I hadn't mentioned vi probably no one would have
had hurt feelings, but I can't figure out why mentioning vi caused
such an uproar.
