Re: cgi theory

a thing i always do at the begining of a cgi is:

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
[download]

if you whant to use the cgi module you can do this:

use CGI;
my $cgi = new CGI;
print $cgi->header( "text/html" );
....
do stuff here
....
print $cgi->end_html;
[download]

maybe you want to take a look in the O´Reilly Perl CGI book.
it will teach you clean perl/cgi and O´Reilly books are always worth the price when it comes to Perl.

so, have a nice time coding perl...

If you want to use the CGI.pm module but only to print a header you can do this: `use CGI qw(header); print header;` [download] Note that calling `header()` without any arguments returns the header for an HTML file. jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply] [d/l]
