in thread Accessing parallel ports
Thanks Khen1950fx,
I actually got it to work using the code below. I changed auto:0 to auto:1 and that did it.
require "subparseform.lib";
&Parse_Form;
print "Set-cookie: cart_id=1234; user_id=123;\n";
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
use strict;
use CGI;
use Device::ParallelPort;
# use Device::ParallelPort::drv::linux
# Set up your parallel port object and tell it what driver to use.
my $parport = Device::ParallelPort->new('auto:1');
# $parport->set_bit(0,1);
# $parport->set_bit(1, 1);
$parport->set_bit(2, 1);
$parport->set_bit(3, 1);
$parport->set_bit(4, 1);
$parport->set_bit(5, 1);
$parport->set_bit(6, 1);
$parport->set_bit(7, 1);
If I comment out the CGI lines I get an Internal Server Error, that's why I have them. Is there a serious problem with doing it this way?
