Perl 2 HTML

newperlbie has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Everyone, I have a very very basic question.Please assure my thoughts with your answers. I have a perl script which reads a csv file,and 2 text files and gives some output.My requirements :

1.I need a simple HTML page to take these files as input.(this needs to be static right?because I need to share this URL to others)

2.Then my perl script should be executed.

3.Finally the outut,again I need to display in the HTML page.

What is the simplest way to do this? can I get this done without a web server? if so how? Please help me with a starting tip, so that I get through

Thanks!

Welcome. The landing page for your application does not have to be static HTML. I suggest you use Mojolicious/Mojolicious::Lite. The documentation is great, the Get started with Mojolicious tutorial is something I highly recommend, it details almost everything you require, including file uploads, for working with csv I suggest you look at Text::CSV_XS, which is not part of Mojolicious.

You want a URL you can share with others, but you don't want it to be on a web server? toby döt ink	[reply]

Could always have your program do the listening instead of a webserver, e.g. using HTTP::Server::Simple. One world, one people	[reply]
