perl and url

Laurens P.

Hi,

I made a cgi-script to subscribe a membership on a particular site. The
moment the new member wants to log on, he has to fill out a login and
password that he received. So if the verification is correct, I want to show
the site. How can I show that url via perl?

Greetz, Laurens.

Maybe you print the URL using the print() function?

This can be done several different ways. If you are using the Apache web
server, you can write one CGI script where the user can subscribe to the
site. The script would gather the user information and add the
user/password entry into the password file using the htpasswd utility that
comes with Apache. The main page would be in a separate directory that
would be password protected and would authenticate the user using the
password file written to be the first page. Another method is to use a
single CGI script to manage the passwords and show the main page. This
would basically be a dual purpose CGI script that would invoke itself as the
form action. When the user first comes to the page, the login page is
shown. When the user/password is entered, the same CGI page is invoked and
passed the user/password parameters. After verification, the real page is
shown. You may want to ask this question on a CGI newsgroup as it's a bit
difficult to explain in great detail here.

Python versus Perl ?

compiling perl 5.8.7 on Solaris 8

by: Kirt Loki Dankmyer | last post by:

So, I download the latest "stable" tar for perl (5.8.7) and try to compile it on the Solaris 8 (SPARC) box that I administrate. I try all sorts of different switches, but I can't get it to compile. I need it to be compiled with threads. Anyone have any wisdom on how best to do this? Here's a transcript of my latest attempt. It's long; you might want to skip to the bottom, where I try "make" and the fatal errors start happening.

Perl DBI/XML processing versus PHP ?
