Hi. Im not totaly new to programming in general. I am fairly new to PERL though. I have used PERL to do many useful things on my RH system, but I have never done anything on the web. I have my own website *under construction* which I am writing in PERL. I was using ColdFusion, but my host doesnt support it as of right now.
The problem I am having is this: When I pass a parameter via a URL, my script isnt picking it up, and my if statement is working. Here is the basic idea behind my script (all PERL standards are followed on my host. The only things I cant do it fork and accept incomming connections.): http://www.blah.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?login=yes (DONT go here, example only) #!/usr/bin/perl [ output HTML headers and top of page here ] if (login eq 'yes') { [ output login form here ] } [ output bottom of page here ] When I pass the variable in the URL like this, the if statement doesnt trigger. However, when I run this on my RH box as a script, it will parse the variable just fine and output the correct HTML to my console. Any ideas on what the heck I am doing wrong? -- www.vadtec.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
