Hello, I am builing file name dynamically after taking user inputs and then from the file, need to print the contents on the same page in table format. I am getting struck because the code is able to create the file name but not able to print the file contents.Any help/advice will be highly appreciated.
use strict; use warnings; use CGI qw(:all); my $cgi = new CGI; my $this_url = $cgi->url(); #Save this script's url my $first = $cgi->param('first_name'); my $last = $cgi->param('last_name'); my $file = $first . '_' . $last . '.csv'; open(DF,'<',$file); foreach my $line(<DF>) { print $line; } close(DF); print "Content-type:text/html\n\n"; print <<EndOfHTML; <html><head><title>Generating Self-Referential URLs</title></head> <bo +dy> <FORM action="Maintenance_Data.cgi" method="POST"> Circle: <input type="text" name="first_name"> <br> Technology: <input type="text" name="last_name"> <input type="submit" +value="Submit"> </FORM> <p>The name you entered was '$first $last'</p +> <p>The name you entered was '$file'</p> </body> EndOfHTML
Thanks, Saurabh
