Re^2: Why CGI is hard debug

There's nothing other than sanity preventing you creating a CGI application in COBOL.

Somewhere in a strange, off-kilter dimension there's a poor shoggoth commiserating while shuffling his punch cards and saying "You know that's right" . . .

The cake is a lie.
The cake is a lie.
The cake is a lie.

I just googled "COBOL CGI" and there are both open and closed source COBOL implementations providing a CGI interface, and I even find a working COBOL CGI form (with source code). I am appalled and amused at the same time.	[reply]

You can even cross-compile Cobol to JavaScript and run it in your browser as CobolScript, for whatever weird and wonderful reason you might have. `perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'`	[reply] [d/l]
