Fun Project for Novice

I am working on a fun project to tech myself more about Perl and Linux: my laptop has a cern-httpd webserver running on it, for which I am building a gui. The gui runs as a webpage on the server itself (a bit like Zeus Webserver).

The interesting bit is working out the security arrangements - the gui itself ain't too much of a problem.

The real easy way is to use Perl/CGI scripts to allow the web browser to act as its own GUI - the user accesses the (allegedly grin) secure scripts and they alter the configuration files based on the data input. Restart the server and voila, altered behaviour. regards Elgon	[reply]
