Re: simple cgi script error

Hi again
Thanks for the advice. I have tried everything that was suggested but the error still remains. When I run the script from the command line I get the following.

Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
        PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

+S"><head><title>Untitled Document</title>
</head><body>Your favorite Tapas place in Barcelona was green</body></
+html>

So, it seems to be working Ok per se. Maybe my server configuration still isnt quite right?

I am wrote a small object oriented code snippet based on u r code. `#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use CGI qw/:standard/; use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser); my $cgi=CGI->new(); print $cgi->header(); print $cgi->start_html(); my $value=$cgi->param('tapas'); ## No form check if possible print "Your favorite Tapas place in Barcelona was $value"; print $cgi->end_html();` [download] I haven't tested this, but should work Also, In your code code snippet, print the header first then try to call param().

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);
my $cgi=CGI->new();
print $cgi->header();
print $cgi->start_html();
my $value=$cgi->param('tapas');  ## No form check if possible 
print "Your favorite Tapas place in Barcelona was $value";
print $cgi->end_html();
