Re: Re: Re: error management...

So much for my reading comprehension, I missed the

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
[download]

But he is using CGI, check at the start of the code.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w


# NEEDED Variables
$basedir = "/home/**/**";
$linkscgi = "http://www.foo.cgi";

# use form to get the data
use CGI qw(:standard);
$query = new CGI;
[download]

Now I am going to have to look a little closer

Ah-ha! You are using "perl -w", which is good; But you are failing to listen to the warnings I believe. If you run it, you will see that you get a warning `Name "main::basedir" used only once: possible typo at ./index.pl line +5.` [download] A simple perl -c index.pl would have turned up this warning as well. updated Removed incorrect information regarding warnings and STDOUT	[reply] [d/l]

Warnings are printed to STDERR, and so they don't get outputted to the browser (with most UNIX / Webserver combos)... Thanks to ChemBoy for noting that IRIX + Netscape Server does send warnings to the browser) [ ar0n ]	[reply]
