Re: Creating a browser based script to update a data file

Update: Mother warns of old Vars() method, so original post changed:

You could do:

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use warnings;
use strict;
use CGI;

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

# from perldoc CGI
my $query=CGI->new;
print "<h2>Current Values</h2> $query\n";

#or
#print Dump;

That would at least give you a way to test your html form fields, like 'file', with which you can experiment.

`Vars` is a compatibility method for the perl4 lib, IIRC and should be avoided (as should indirect method call on `new`). To dump your input, just use, drumroll... `Dump`. It formats form input into HTML lists and handles multiple values per key.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
