Re: browser interface for local script

HTTP::Simple is an excellent solution. I would also suggest launching your browser as your script executes, saving your user the step of launching. This way, from a single click, the user can launch the HTTP server, then launch the browser from the command line ( pointed to the correct page, of course ), then run the rest of the script and fill the page.

I bet your user would like that.

Thanks, I used the following code: `sub handle_request { my ($self, $cgi) = @_; my $action = $cgi->path_info(); $action =~ s\|^/\|\|; # ensure action exists or set it to default if(! $self->can($action)) { $action = "home"; } $self->$action($self, $cgi); #print $out Dumper(%ENV); }` [download] It is pretty neat. This makes it easy to use the MVC design pattern. I use HTML::Template to print all the pages out.	[reply] [d/l]

 sub handle_request {
     my ($self, $cgi) = @_;
     
     my $action = $cgi->path_info();
     $action =~ s|^/||;
     
     # ensure action exists or set it to default
     if(! $self->can($action)) {
         $action = "home";
     }
     $self->$action($self, $cgi);
     #print $out Dumper(%ENV);
     

 }
