murugu has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi folks im currently involved in migrating asp to cgi scripts.

Currently we are changing the asp files to shtml file and calling the cgi scripts inside the shtml file using exec tag.

My current questions are:

  1. whether i get the query string passed to shtml and pass it on to the cgi script which im calling inside that shtml?
  2. I have an function session("email_addr") in my asp script, where email_addr one of the form element name, what is the corresponding cgi function for the session.

Thanks in advance.

    If you want to migrate to a perl based solution, it would be much easier to use Apache::ASP than plain CGI.
