Re: install CGI qw(:standard escapeHTML) at bluehost..com

DrGo:

You just need to install the CGI module. The "qw(...)" bit is just telling CGI which functions to import into your namespace. (Or something like that.) Check perlmod and company for details.

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

Hmm. BlueHost lists a bunch of CGI:: modules that are available. I thought I needed to see CGI qw or something like that. There are many CGI:: modules installed at BlueHost. Maybe that means I don't need to do anything special for qw? Is there a way to test that easily? Thanks, Tom aka DrGo	[reply]

`qw` is not a module. It is Perl syntax. See perlop on the "Quotes and Quote-like Operators". `qw` is a quote-like operator, like `'`, `"`, `q` and `qq`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks. The modules all have the :: I guess. I was able to run a simple perl script with `use CGI qw`	[reply] [d/l]
