Did you look at the op? Op wrote and ran a cgi program. But is hand parsing...reinventing the cgi.pm module-- cgi module is best for doing that; every time you quote that when if doesnt apply is trolling	[reply]
Re^4: appending to html at beginning ( use CGI for parsing cgi) by Limbomusic (Acolyte) on Feb 03, 2017 at 13:59 UTC
Hey :-) Wow Ok, Got a lot to learn.. Didnt know that Matts guestbook script was such risky business... (altho my webserver is very dear to me - its just a personal playground, and I take a backup often, besides - I think the hiawatha webserver should be pretty secure) - But wow - many interesting suggestions - "swapping" file content with a temp text file seems actually quite understandable - but then - wow - the idea with a separate text file just listing all the stories is also a gem - because then one could - have links to a html file with all the different $names of peoples stories - so instead of just all stories being listed - one could click on someones name and their story would come up, that would be very cool. Anonymous Monk: yeah, probably better to just start from scratch listing all the $variables - eh stupid question, why do you all put "my" in front of the scalars?	[reply]

stupid question, why do you all put "my" in front of the scalars? Not stupid at all - it is to limit the scope. This is a very important concept in computing generally and is not just limited to Perl. However, you could do an awful lot worse than read the canonical article by Dominus: Coping with Scoping which deals with the whole issue of variable declaration in Perl. It goes into more depth that you'll need just now but it won't steer you wrong.	[reply]

Hi Anonymous, cgi module is best for doing that Plack, Catalyst, Dancer2, Mojolicious, and more... (Update: As hippo pointed out, CGI::Minimal, CGI::Lite, or CGI::Simple) - versus - A module that is no longer recommended by its own documentation, and was removed from Perl's core. I didn't even say the module was summarily bad, just that it shouldn't be recommended for newcomers/new developments. You're using some strange definitions of "best" and "trolling" ;-P Regards, -- Hauke D	[reply]

Please - Plack and all the frameworks building on it are a far conceptual step away from CGI programs. If you want people to switch away from hand-parsing CGI parameters, I think it's better to lead them the longer but easier way via CGI.pm than leading them to the cliff that are HTTP frameworks.

Re^5: appending to html at beginning (CGI.pm) by Anonymous Monk on Feb 04, 2017 at 02:33 UTC
Plack, Catalyst, Dancer2, Mojolicious, and more... All of those run slower then CGI.pm under CGI -- thats because they do a lot more than parse CGI parameters, have more dependencies, have bigger APIs ... (Update: As hippo pointed out, CGI::Minimal, CGI::Lite, or CGI::Simple) A module that is no longer recommended by its own documentation, and was removed from Perl's core. I didn't even say the module was summarily bad, just that it shouldn't be recommended for newcomers/new developments. By that logic, why would you even mention those other CGI::... modules? They were never in the perl core and they're just lesser imitations of the CGI.pm module You're using some strange definitions of "best" and "trolling" ;-P Look, its nice you've got enthusiasm for participation, but you should avoid railing against things, esp by copy/paste, thats just trolling Code over propaganda	[reply]
