Hi all, I am developing an application and I have written a perl cgi script for it. I have to do following steps - 1. Accept 2 build numbers from user. 2. Get contents from a webpage related to those 2 numbers. 3. Compare those contents 4. Give difference to users. For 1st step i use post method. For 2nd step, i make use of getstore procedure form LWP::Simple module. I store difference in arrays. And then display it. I am facing following problem - 1. When I run the program from command line, it runs properly. 2. From browser, it displays same output as that of command line. i.e. if i have given a and b as numbers on command line, and c & b number on browser, it still displays output of a and b comparison. I am not getting the problem. But when I display post method output on browser, it is accepting numbers properly. I am not getting what is the problem. I checked permissions on files, they are proper.

In reply to cgi script is not running from browser but runs from command line by supi
