Re^2: Open Vieditor using perl/perl cgi script

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

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)` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
