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

As an aside, I find it very scary that you are providing "professional" Perl coding (or I am assuming you are with a name like perlservices) and your code is not using strict or warnings, and silently ignoring io and system call errors.

Pete, I am a newbie squared. The script is mostly canned stuff from a commercial vendor, not me. This exercise is for me and my purposes. Yes it would certainly be scary if I was providing this Perl script (at least my little part) as a service.	[reply]

I'm sorry then, my comments should be redirected to the "commercial" vendor that is releasing low-quality code. Or at least code that does little to inspire confidence in its quality. I would suggest that your first course of action should be to add use strict and use warnings to the top of the script and fix any problems that fall out from doing so. -pete "Worry is like a rocking chair.
