Re: abc HELP

Also, make sure that the .pl file that you're going to run has the proper permissions set. Generally speaking, if you run a chmod 0755 on the file, that is good enough for most purposes. If you don't, your file won't run.

Also, if you plan to print output to a browser, be sure to put the line print "Content-type: text/html\n"; in before any other print statements, or the browser won't understand in which format to display the content!

Hope this helps...

Also, if you get more in depth with CGI programming, check out CGI.pm because it is a VERY useful module, that comes with Perl anyways, and is used mainly for if you start to work with CGI forms. It also can parse, and do a ton of other useful stuff, but just check out the documentation s/if/when you decide to use it! Hope this helps! Andy Summers	[reply]
