Dear expert, I have the intention to write a Perl based CGI script that does the following steps:
1. Take user input - including email - with a CGI script (mail_result.cgi). 2. Based on these input param, submit a long running Perl script (compute_price.pl) on the background 3. Email the result to the corresponding address, once it is finished. And meanwhile, 4. Allow the CGI form to take new input right after the job is submitted. I have no problem doing step 1, but I honestly can't figure out how to achieve step 2 to 4. Can anybody advice what's the best strategy to achieve all these steps? PS. actually I do have the script ready, and it is accessible here: http://defiant.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/~ewijaya/MyTest/cgi-bin/mail_result.cgi But it still doesn't do the job as I mentioned above. -- Regards, Edward WIJAYA SINGAPORE ------------ Institute For Infocomm Research - Disclaimer ------------- This email is confidential and may be privileged.
