hello, all. I have been a user of a particular web-board discussion forum script for a
while now (Darryl C Burgdorf's WebBBS http://www.awsd.com/scripts/webbbs), and am
wanting to develop a perl script that will pass information directly to it, for the
web-board script to make posts and replies to the board without having to go through
the web browser interface of the CGI script.
the reason i want to do this is to make an email-to-WebBBS gateway, so people can send
emailo to an adress on my server, the gateway script can retrieve it, translate it,
and send it along to the WebBBS script with appropriate information, so the webbbs
script will automatically add the post without the user having to do it through the
webpage.
i have been told that webbbs does not directly implement anything like this, although
it is possible with general perl programming, and understand it is one of the things
perl is best at.
both the webbs script and my script are perl/cgi.
i am just wondering where can i begin looking for how to do this? i have browsed
through www.perl.org, www.perl.com, and a few general searches on the net, but nothing
has turned up.
was hoping someone here could help direct me. thanks.
