Re: Displaying the output of a system command in HTML

[randy Peterman]

I don't use Perl for Administration, and have not run too much other than
CGI apps, but you may want to try:

<CODE>

#Your code here
$command = 'pgp -kv' ;

#pass the returned value to an array
@Commands = system($command) ;

#Display the code in a nice table
print qq|<TABLE><TR><TH>COMMANDS</TH></TR>|;

#iterate through the Array for each value
for($i = 0;$i < @Commands;$i++){
    print qq|<TR><TD>Commands[$i]</TD</TR>|;
}
print qq|</TABLE>|;

</CODE>

Hello people,
Am trying to use CGI with perl as a learner.

Now I need to display the output of a system command to HTML. It can't seem
to work I don't know why. Here is what am trying to do,

Am running the following command,

$command = 'pgp -kv' ;

system($command) ;

Print "system($command)";

This is to make perl send the output to HTML so it can display the listing
of pgp keys. it doesn't work,  do I need to send the output to a file and
the display the output into an HTML format.

Or what is the better way of sending an output  of a system command to HTML?

Any help would be appreciated or a site I could read!!

Regards,
Ackim
