To others who have posted on this thread, I had so much trouble working out who was saying what to whom that I gave up. Why are all of the posts at the top level instead of beneath the items that they corresponded to?
I am left feeling that there is something that I could have learned beneath what looks like a tangled log file. Matthias Schraft wrote: > > I´m new with perl.

Hi Matthias, I hope you don't feel too bad about this thread, because it's very easy to be put off by the amount you have to learn when you're starting something new. My answer would be that you need to look at the CGI module (which will almost certainly have been included with the rest of your Perl installation) and read its documentation. It places your Perl script in between HTML form input (which it sees on STDIN) and the response to the HTTP client (which is printed on STDOUT). Perl will do all of this well, and is the usual tool for what you describe. HTH, Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
