Re: [Perl-CGI] Print non-interpolated string

After clicking on submit Perl now starts to execute the contents of the textarea

I cannot reproduce the problem. If I run your script, HTML in the textarea is interpreted by the browser, but Perl commands are not run. To prevent the contents from evaluation, just replace all & to &, and all < to <.

    $text =~ s/&/&amp;/g;
    $text =~ s/</&lt;/g;

Thanks for the links all. I'll check them out. For now I have uploaded my sample script here: http://digioso.org/textareatest.pl Weird thing that you cannot reproduce it. Possibly could have to do with the webserver settings or the installed Perl version then. Neither are under my control unfortunately since I'm on a large webhoster.	[reply]
