not sure about the above, but this: > > file3.cgi----------- > #!/usr/bin/perl -w > > use CGI; > > print "Content-type:text/plain\n\n"; > > $query = new CGI; > > print "blast\n"; > > $str = $query->param('st'); > > print "here the string is : $str\n"; > > system("./perl1.pl"); is just wrong. #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use CGI qw/:standard :html3 -no_xhtml/; print header(), start_html(), p("blast"); my $str = param('st') || 'no results'; print p("The 'st' param result is: $str"), end_html(); __END__ now, WHY is the above cgi calling an external process instead of just executing the perl code within itself, and if you ARE determined to execute a separate process WHY are you not passing it any parameters when the recieving script plainly expects SOMETHING as a parameter? > ------------------------------------------- > > And processing the request by another perl file > > perl1.pl------------- > > #!/usr/bin/perl > > $str = shift; > print "received the sequence\n"; > system("/home/soumya/Application/BLAST/blastall -p > blastn -d /home/soumya/Application/BLAST/data/ecoli.nt > -i /var/www/cgi-bin/bic_genscan/testseq"); > print "done...\n"; and lastly WHY are you not TESTING any of these for success? WHY are you not using use strict; ?? for answers to these and other questions, please post your resonse to the perl list rather than to just me.. just because I had time to answer an earlier question doesn't mean I have time to answer ALL your questions, NOR does it mean that all my answers will be RIGHT. :) better to get the concensus of the GROUP instead. post to the newsgroup/mailing list where this originated, please. thanks :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
