Hi all,
I have designed a form in which I call a perl script but the issue is "Iam not able to see the output"...
<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/filecheck.pl" METHOD="post" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
Contents of filecheck.pl is
print check;
There are few more lines I need to add in the .pl file to make the output available on screen. Can someone help me on the same.( Iam running in Windows)
Thanks

Remember that when using Perl to make CGI, you are actually printing out HTML. So you need to have all the tags necessary, like:
[HTML]<HTML>
<HEAD>This is a sample web page.</HEAD>
<BODY>
<p>This is a sample paragraph.</p>
<br>
</BODY>
</HTML>[/HTML]
You can either manually output all these tags (which will be messy and boring), or you can use some of the CGI methods imported when you 'use' it like so:
Now many great functions are available. To generate the above HTML, I would write, in Perl, - print start_html('This is a sample web page.');
-
print p('This is a sample paragraph');
-
print br;
-
print end_html;

In addition to what Gannon provided, you should really open your browser, point it at Google and search for something like "CGI Perl tutorial" or something similar. There are plenty of good tutorials out there that will teach you the basics and sometimes, beyond.

You left out an important bit of information, with perl you have to print the http headers before any content is printed to the screen. If using CGI in standard more: - use CGI qw/:standard/;
-
print header;
-
print p('This is a sample paragraph');
-
print br;
-
print end_html;
Right, I did forget that little detail, didn't I?
Thanks Kevin.
Thanks, It is really helpfull & will dig more into it wuth help of google....
