Hi John Lin, you FIRST have to print the HTTP-Headers, and THEN everything else follows. this might look a little something like this:
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; open (COMHANDLE, '/usr/local/bin/gpg --no-tty --list-keys |') or die "can not list keys \n"; print <COMHANDLE>; close (COMHANDLE) or die "can not close COMHANDLE \n"; .... "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; <<< THIS is very important! if you wish to show plain text only then write the following line: print "Content-Type: plain/text\n\n"; AMEN! > Hi list, > I have written a perl CGI script that basically executes a system > command via an open command like so: > open (COMHANDLE, '/usr/local/bin/gpg --no-tty --list-keys |') or die > "can not list keys \n"; > print <COMHANDLE>; > close (COMHANDLE) or die "can not close COMHANDLE \n"; > For some reason, if I run this CGI script in the command line, it > executes correctly (I get a list of keys in the shell). > But when i try to run this script in a browser, nothing is printed in > the borwser. > I have also tried with a simpler script that basically gets the system > date and output it like so: > open (COMHANDLE, 'date |') or die "Can not get system date \n"; > print <COMHANDLE>; > close (COMHANDLE) or die "Can not close COMHANDLE \n"; > But with this script, I can run it both in the shell and in a browser > and I get the system date. > I am not really sure what the problem is at this time....
