Hi,
I am newer to Perl script.I don't know about perl. I have to do one project in perl.
That is already developed.But I have to do some modifications to that.Please tell me what are the components I have to install in our system to run the perl script.My operating system is Windows XP. And how to compile and run the script.Here my major problem is script is not opening.Is there any other alternative to open the script.That file is in .cgi extension.And can we convert that script to html to view the results.Please give me some suggestions.
Thanks
Pavani

If I were you, I would start reading the basic books on perl as you have a lot to learn and pick up.
First, you want to go to some place like strawberryperl. com, get the latest distribution and install it.
From there though, you need to learn the basics before you go tackling CGI. A CGI program outputs HTML, so there would be no reason to convert it. Also, you don't compile Perl programs, per se, they are interpreted.
Why not send me a private message (PM) with your email address and I will send you a couple of documents that will really get you a good base in Perl. Do not post your email here as it will be deleted. Emails are not allowed in the forums, thus why I asked you to PM me.

Install perl, either strawberryperl or activeperl (www.activestat e.com) and install an http server, I recommend apache (www.apache.org ). google for apache tutorials for how to setup apache to run CGI scripts, there are a number of step by step tutorials out there that will walk you through the setup process.

I like using XAMPP for development. Gives me most everything I need to develop applications for the web.

First, you should be able to open any Perl or CGI script with any text editor. No need for Perl Express unless you really want it. As for any other components, you would have to examine the scripts to see what modules are needed to be installed locally.

perl has nothing to do with why some files can't be opened. It could be a permission problem or other problem, like maybe the file is in use by another program and can't accessed (generally a windows problem).

Yes usually if the file you download is garbled or "messed up" it is because it was created on another operating system that is incompatible.
The file should work on the server though.
Try downloading it in ASCII, and then BINARY. If it still doesn't look right, you may just NOT be able to "read" that file with your system.

I have two different scripts that do pretty much the same thing. The main

Unix script. I have it set up where the Unix is mapped through a drive

Hey 2gether!
I'm trying to execute a PERL script on the web server when the user presses
a button in an ASP.NET Web Application using Visual Basic. The most obvious
solution for me seemed to be to use the 'Shell()'-command .
This didn't work: Either I get an "File not found" error, or I get no error
at all, but the PERL script isn't executed anyway. The strange thing is that
I managed to execute a .bat file for example. Why the hell...

Introduction
Uploading files from a local computer to a remote web server has many useful purposes, the most obvious of which is the sharing of files. For example, you upload images to a server to share them with other people over the Internet. Perl comes ready equipped for uploading files via the CGI.pm module, which has long been a core module and allows users...

Many websites have a form or a link you can use to download a file.

I am creating the perl script using html form(with embedded javascript inside).
When using this html form with javascript alone, it works where the form validation will pop up javascript windows to say the field is not keyed into properly.
