Re: CGI Error
I took his script, just as it was posted earlier, and installed it
on my machine here. It ran flawlessly as a CGI program and gave me
the thankyou notice (the script was posted a couple of days ago).
I sent him the same script I made, and it doesn't work on his
system, I am using perl5.003, and Apache 1.1.3 (Debian/GNU). He
also had the permissions the same as I had mine set on my working
script.
The perl script doesn't call any 'helper' modules (CGI, etc.), so I
am at a loss as to why it isn't working.
Do other perl scripts function on the system?
Here is the actual script I used:
-----BEGIN err.pl--------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
read(STDIN,$temp,$ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
@pairs=split(/&/,$temp);
foreach $item(@pairs)
{
($key,$content)=split(/=/,$item,2);
$content=~tr/+/ /;
$content=~s/%(..)/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
$fields{$key}=$content;
}
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<HTML>\n";
print "<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF>\n";
print "<CENTER>\n";
print "THANK YOU<BR>\n";
print "$fields{fname} $fields{lname}</BR>";
print "I will write<BR>\n";
print "you at<BR>\n";
print "$fields{email}<BR>\n";
print "</CENTER>\n";
print "</BODY></HTML>";
----------END err.pl---------------------
