Hi,   There are, as is usually the case in Perl, many ways to compare strings.  But what you probably want is: if ($username eq "administrator" && $password eq "test") { ...   "eq" and "ne" are used for string comparisons.  == and != are used for numbers.   In this case you shouldn't have the "if" in the else line.  (And "else" is not a "method" - it's a statement/keyword :-))   To "call" another HTML page, you have 2 options that I can think of (I'm assuming you're doing this from a CGI script): 1. redirect to the other page (this keeps your perl script cleaner, but requires an additional HTTP roundtrip) 2. read and display the contents of the static HTML file   For 1:  (see http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/)   use CGI;   my $q = new CGI;    ...   print $q->redirect("right.html");   For 2:   # not necessarily the best way to do it...   local $/ = undef;   # slurp mode...   local F;   open(F, "right.html");   my $text = <F>;   print $text;   If you're just beginning with Perl, read at least through the following sections in the ActivePerl User Guide: perlsyn, perldata, perlfunc, perlop, perlsub   Optionally get "Programming Perl" and/or the "Perl Cookbook".   Good luck, -Gert -----Original Message----- From: Eko Budiharto [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2003 1:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ActiveState. com; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ActiveState. com Subject: (no subject) Is there any one know how to call a html file from perl?
