SB This one is much more efficient and requires even less coding:
SB use LWP::Simple;
SB $content = get("http://www.sn.no/")
Even better, thanks Stas.
Getting data from external URL
Hello, I want to get data from an external url in my perl program (either thru Embperl Execute or directly from perl). What I need is like this. There is a URL which gives some information in text format. I want to get that into a variable or file using perl and using my own html templates, I want to show that data. If anyone has done something like this, please let me know. Thanks Vijay
Re: Wierd problem with redirect
Hello, Thanks for the suggestion. However, I have a problem still left out. The redirection is loading the redirected page properly. But, it still shows the URL as the same from where it is redirected. As below: My form calls the script "/scripts/visitorinfo.cgi?pageid=delmaillang=ENadno=1". In visitorinfo,.cgi, I have following steps print "Content-type: text/html\n"; print "$mycookie\n"; print "Location: /scripts/visitorinfo.cgi?pageid=mailhdramp;lang=EN\n\n"; exit 0; It really goes to the page mailhdr with appropriate details. But the address in the browser is still "/scripts/visitorinfo.cgi?pageid=delmaillang=ENadno=1". This gives a problem. If the user reloads the page, it will again try to do what I am doing in this, which I don't want to happen. How do I make the address (URL) to change according to the page it is showing.

Wierd problem with redirect
Hello, I have a perl script which tries to redirect the URL to another page. It gives peculiar problem. The resultant page source is as follows --- HTMLHEADMETA HTTP-EQUIV="Set-Cookie" CONTENT="visirotid=880; path=/; domain=www.trichurgateway.com;"/HEADBODY/BODY/HTML Content-type: text/html Location: /scripts/visitorinfo.cgi?pageid=mailhdramp;lang=EN - As you can see, the Content-type and Location information is shown in the screen rather than really taking the url. THe perl code is as follows: First I am setting the cookie. print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "HTMLHEAD"; print "META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Set-Cookie\" CONTENT=\"visirotid=$visitorid; path=/ ; domain=www.trichurgateway.com;\""; print "/HEADBODY/BODY/HTML\n"; Immediately after this, Iam trying the recirect. print "Content-type: text/html "."\n\n"; print "Location: /scripts/visitorinfo.cgi?pageid=mailhdramp;lang=EN\n\n"; exit 0; This results in the page as given above. IN the Location, I tried giving full url including the domain name. Also, I tried to use CGI-redirect also. It showed the page moved to new location error on the screen. Not the actual page. This is running on a Raq3i server with perl 5.0.6 and mod-perl (version I am not sure) and Embperl. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Vijay Nair
Silly Question
Hello, We recently bought a new Raq3 server. We have developed a script to add users directly from the web interface. IT is bombing out as the script should be run as 'root'. I want to know if the script can be set with setuid as root for execution. Thanks for any help. VIjay
Re: EmbPerl and scope
I used following method to get Embperl working in my system.
[- Execute ('other.html',"$a") -]
other.html
The value of a is [+ $param[0] +]
This works fine.

Subject: EmbPerl and scope
I am having trouble with embperl and scope. I read the FAQ on this but I
still can't get it to work. As an example let's say I have two files:
file1: index.html
--
[- $a = 1 -]
[- Execute ('other.html') -]
file2: other.html
---
The value is the variale a is:
[+ $a +]
when i bring up index.html it does import other.html fine but the $a
variale
is empty - scope problem. What exactly do i need to do to these files so
they can talk to each other.
Also does anyone know of a good embperl book on the market?
thanks

Re: URL Redirection
Hello,
I got a work around for the problem I am having.
- Set a cookie header using meta command as
set-cookie is not working properly
on my box thru mod_perl. Somewhere it
is creating a problem and I am not sure
where. Using meta command I set up a
cookie for the session id.
- Create a file on my disk with all
parameters selected by the user with the session-id
as the file id.
- Get the session-id using the environment
variable $ENV('HTTP_COOKIE'}
- Load the file with the session id and
populate the user selected parameters as well as
add new selections
- Pass-on these parameters to the web pages
(Embperl encoded) using the
HTML::Embperl::Execute
command.
At present, all these are done thru three
scripts.
Although the browser address is not showing
thefull URL, it shows correct results.
I am trying more to refine this and createone
generic Perl script to handle all pages in
my site.
Thanks for all your help.
Vijay

Subject: RE: URL Redirection
As I was having problem to set up Embperl as
CGI, I found out a way to workaround
that. To call HTML::Embperl::Execute from my
perl script and pass the html
document as parameter. This works
OK.
That is, like Tom and Vivek pointed out, cgiwrapper eats the
PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED
What I want to achieve is to have the
some session info (basically I want to create
my own session persistant data for various
statistical purposes) to be part of
the URL. (I mean the browser address to show
something like
http://my.domain.com/myplscript.pl?session=1id=21). I am using a
generic
perl script to manage all pages and using
embperl to link each together. My problem
is the "Location:
myscript.pl?session=1id=21" is not showing in the address
line
fully, but executing properly. This will give
me a problem if the user reloads or move backwards
from other page. I want the address line to
show full url address including the parameters
when I redirect it so that reloads and
backwards will work properly.
Sorry, but I don't understand what you
