in reply to Open Vieditor using perl/perl cgi script

vi editor does not run in browser, so, if that is what you have in mind, it won't work :)

if you had something else in mind, what is it?

    first thanks for your reply. I want to open vi editor separately externally to open a file which is the output of Perl. This file I need to open in vi editor so that user can use the functions of editor to change anything he want to and upload the file back to original one

      What happens if the user doesn't have vi installed on their machine?

      So you want something like:

      my $file= "/tmp/file-to-edit";

# Let the user edit the file
system("vi $file") == 0
    or die "Uhoh: $? / $!";

# Now, reupload the file to the website (however)
