When you run a perl script from the command line, you omit the "?" and
add all of your param=value pairs after it. Like this:
./myscript.pl param1=value1 param2=value2 param3=value3
Then inside the script, you can access these values with the @ARGV
array. You will have to manually split them because they will have the
equal sign still. The @ARGV array will look like this:
$ARGV[0] = "param1=value1"
$ARGV[1] = "param2=value2"
$ARGV[2] = "param3=value3"
With a loop lie this, you can get them into the Hash (%Params):
my (%Params,$ame,$value);
foreach (@ARGV) {
($name,$value) = split("=",$_);
$Params{$name} = $value;
}
Now you will get the hash:
$Params{"param1"} = "value1";
$Params{"param2"} = "value2";
$Params{"param3"} = "value3";
The above will not handle array inputs, but you get the idea.
The below recommendation is to access the cgi script on another server
via the command line using http.
