Re^5: Commenting out carpout causes script to hang

CGI (the module) scripts can be run be from the prompt. See the "DEBUGGING" section.

Or you could add statements that print the script's progress to a log. Don't forget to (auto-)flush.

OK, just read the debugging section of CGI.pm - very cool. Thanks. That gets the parameters set. But the script uses the .htaccess username to identify the records to retrieve and gets it like this: `$username = $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'};` [download] and I dont see in the documentation how to get that from the command line. UPDATE: But nevermind - I'll just set the username programmatically temporarily.	[reply] [d/l]
