Re: Can't Get Command Line Unzipper to Execute in CGI/Perl Script

I will put in the entire script here

Why?! Please post the minimum amount of code required to replicate the problem.

And why do you think it's a good idea to forgo adding error checking when something doesn't work?

Did you even check the error log for messages?

By the way, you messed up the readmore tags. They aren't part of your code.

Thanks. I'm fixing the Readmore stuff. I tried to post the minimum with readmore. I did think it was a good idea to get rid of error checking. Sorry, I'm a newbie, I just want it to work first. I looked for the logs. Haven't found them yet. I will look again. That's probably the best place to look, thanks.	[reply]

Sorry, I'm a newbie, I just want it to work first. This is a not uncommon, but utterly wrong-headed "newbie" notion. Error checking, like the `use strict` and `use warnings` pragmas, is helpful in getting "it to work....", not some sort of add-on for use afterwards.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
