Re: How do I run .pl script from Unix command line, and pass CGI variables to it?

Odd. CGI programs ran from the command line used to prompt the user for keyword/value pairs.

Anyway, have you read the DEBUGGING section in the CGI.pm manual page?

That's exactly what I needed. I can type in at the command line: summary.pl rpt_id=1_summary, and it passes the value of the CGI variable "rpt_id" to my script, which then ran beautimously. Thanks! Now, I just need to figure out why I get a "java" error on the web page, but not in Unix. More fun! ;-) Lori	[reply]
