Re^2: how can I execute an html file from Perl

I am not stating my question adequately. I have constructed an HTML that consists of a number of inputs. Right now I am asking the user to enter the stated URL (in the browser) to display/execute this file. I would like to do this programactically.

I think what you are now saying is that, given an absolute path on the filesystem, convert that to a URL and print it. In which case something like this (untested) should do: `(my $url = $out_file) =~ s#$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}#http://$ENV{SERVER_NAME +}#; print "Go to $url now for prizes!\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

If you're working on something new, that generates a form, presents it to the user and processes the user input please seriously consider using a framework like Mojolicious::Lite, it makes all this a great deal easier and a lot more fun. http://mojolicious.org/perldoc/Mojolicious/Guides/Tutorial.

Why not use a link ? `print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; print qq!<html> <body><h3>$out_file created.... <a href="/shhabcam/LOGS/user_$assignment.html">here</a></h3> </body></html>\n!;` [download] poj	[reply] [d/l]
