Re^3: Creating HTML page by cbrandtbuffalo (Deacon) on Aug 05, 2008 at 11:52 UTC
But the output i wanted is the page to be in blue color and some text displaying on it BUT not the code of the HTML. So you viewed the resulting file in a browser and you're seeing the raw HTML rather than a rendered page? Might be an issue with your content-type line. Try: `print "Content-type: text/html \n\n";` [download] Note that the CGI module can handle these headers for you and then you don't need to worry about it: `use CGI qw/:standard/; print header;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Are you looking at the page's code, or the page through the web server? There is nothing in your script involving printing the web page to the actual web browser (I don't know why you are printing the Content-type header in this code, honestly.) This code, as far as I can tell, does the exact same thing, except that when it is opened in a web browser, it will fail. `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $outname = "/usr/anil/scripts/myhtml.html"; open HTML, '>', $outname or die "Couldn't create '$outname': $!"; print HTML "<html>\n"; print HTML "<head>\n"; print HTML "<title>My Home Page</title>"; print HTML "</head>\n"; print HTML "<body bgcolor = blue>\n"; print HTML "Here we have an HTML page with a paragraph."; print HTML "</body>\n"; print HTML "</html>\n"; close (HTML);` [download] What are you trying to do here? If you open '/usr/anil/scripts/myhtml.html' in a web browser and see the code, perhaps it is because you have a plain HTML page located in a cgi-bin type folder. You should probably save it somewhere like '/usr/anil/html/myhtml.html', but I don't know how your server is structured.	[reply] [d/l]
