Hello, I am a perl newbie. I have written maybe a half dozen scripts and I have spent some time seriously going through tutorials and other people's scripts to learn my way. With the current problem I am facing, I have spent most of the last two days online digging through perl archives on the web searching for a solution. I have even taken to looking at a lot of the cgi on my own server looking for clues. I am running Redhat Linux on an apache server with Perl 5. I want to be able to save a new static file from a cgi script on command. I know it is possible. I have seen people do it. As an example, I am trying to duplicate the article archiving feature on a site called makingprofit.com . I need this so that my team can fill out a form and place our archive files on our server. Right now, I am having to build all archives by hand. At MakingProfit.com, they have a form for articles that you fill in and submit to the site. At the same time as the information is sent to the server, the server will tell you that you can view the page at its new permanent address at, for example: makingprofit.com/articles/07262001-18.html OR at: makingprofit.com/articles/07262001-18.txt So, I want to be able to take the information from the form and make it into a html file and a text file. I need to find the way to take that information from the form, and make a new file called 07262001-18.html and put it in a directory on our server. Could someone show me how to do it? I know how to overwrite or append an existing file, I just do not know how to make a new one. Bill Platt - Internet Musketeers, Inc.
