RE: Becoming Disenheartened - Everyone talks about Python and says Perl is old news.

[Doug Lewis]

I won't even reply to the person that said, perl is old news.  And that everyone talks 
about Python.  That is just stupid.  Most people either talk about C, C++, or Java.  
Then comes perl.
 
Perl is still way more talked about than Python In my Experience.
 
Perl makes things much simpler.

 To Randal and Chris. You all don't understand me. CGI is a module, 
 earlier wrote and stored in a separate files. I don't mean 
 such objects.
 
 Python and Ruby don't write the code for me. But look at this 
 Python code:
 
 s = I am Perl guru;
 new_s = s.replace(Perl, Python);
 

With this willing to treat everything as object you end up with
Ugly code such as the following:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/CgiScripts

#!/usr/bin/env python

import cgi

print Content-type: text/html
print
print

print 






Sample CGI Script 


form = cgi.FieldStorage()
if form.has_key( message ):
message = form[message].value
else:
message = (no message)

print 


Previous message: %s



form:




message:  [input] 






 % message


That I let the beginners-list to show you how it can be nicer written in Perl :)

José.

Re: Passing options to command in a system call

[Doug Lewis]

I haven't used the wget program before, but try adding a comma after your -O.  I did 
that and I got it working.

Jan Eden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Hi,

I try to call wget using system like this:

system(wget -O /dev/null, http://janeden.org/test/file.txt;);

This does not work:

Can't exec wget -O /dev/null: No such file or directory at ./wgetrec.pl line 6.

Ok, so how about this:

system(wget, -O /dev/null http://janeden.org/test/file.txt;);

No go:

wget: missing URL

Without additional options,

system(wget, http://janeden.org/test/file.txt;);

works fine.

How can I pass an option to system's first argument in a setting like this?

(I know I can use a module instead of calling wget, but this is a more general issue.)

Thanks,

Jan

Re: Two easy questions.

[Doug Lewis]

Your answer actually lies in the system that you are using first.  The reason the CGI 
scripts hold the .cgi extension.  Is because that is what your webserver uses to grab 
your CGI scripts from your CGI directory.
 
As for using perl myscript.  That is a windows thing.  If I remember correctly  (Don't 
qoute me on this, because I don't use perl on windows.) but if you run your script in 
the directory that you have perl installed in, you don't need the perl part.
 
Hopefully I have explained it clearly enough, sorry it is rather late, and I am 
friggin tired, if when I read this in th morning it sounds shitty, I will reword it 
and re-email it.

Truly newbie questions

Why do some scripts have a CGI extension while other a .pl and still other a .plx? 
Does the .cgi extension give it some web characteristics?

Is there a way to run my script without specifying perl before the script? In other 
words, I want to type c:\myscript.plx instead of c:\perl myscript.plx.

Thanks,

Drue
