I am new to this process, so forgive any lack of presentation knowledge: I am using a perl script which is called through the WISE installer and it grabs some information from the machine of the person who is installing. I included the user_agent( ); function from CGI.pm in order to grab the browser (and platform) that the user started the installation process from, but since the perl script is run when the WISE installer process begins, my perl script has no idea what browser the user launched from and NOTHING is printed in this field.
Does anyone know if there is an easy way for perl to get that info in this case. I did not want to grab the browser info via a separate perl script from the web page itself where the "install now" link exists, because if I am inundated with thousands of users, the two processes might not stay connected and I need all the information to remain in ONE record. I just wanted to find out if I was missing something. I am new to this perl CGI stuff. Thanks. _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activeperl
