I have a script that creates a webpage (its content & name are be based on what was selected in the previous form). The problem I am having is that the script refuses to create the file in a separate directory, no matter how I try. I have resorted to moving the file once it is created, but that isn't working either. I have left my attempts in the code as comments so that you can see what I have already tried. Any help is appreciated, even if you see something that isn't related that could be improved!
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use warnings;
use CGI;
#use File::Copy;
my($buffer) = "";
my($firstChoice) = "";
my($secondChoice) = "";
my(@values) = "";
read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
(@values) = split(/&/, $buffer);
$firstChoice = $values[0];
$secondChoice = $values[1];
($NULL, $firstChoice) = split(/=/, $firstChoice);
($NULL, $secondChoice) = split(/=/, $secondChoice);
#print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
#print "$firstChoice\n";
#print "$secondChoice";
my($dynamic) = "$firstChoice$secondChoice.html";
open (FH, "+>" . $dynamic);
print FH "<html>\n";
print FH " <head>\n";
print FH " <title>$firstChoice and $secondChoice</title>\n";
print FH " </head>\n";
print FH " <body>\n";
print FH " You chose $firstChoice and $secondChoice\n";
print FH " </body>\n";
print FH "</html>\n";
close (FH);
#These are all of the ways that I have tried to move the file and fail
+ed:
#1:
#rename "$dynamic", "dynamics/$dynamic";
#2:
#system("mv $dynamic dynamics/");
#3:
#my($original_file) = "$dynamic";
#my($new_file) = "dynamics/$dynamic";
#move($original_file, $new_file);
print "Location: dynamics/$dynamic\n\n";
