Hello all,

Could you please tell me what module should I use to send HTML mail?
Can I use Net::SMTP?

And what module could I use to send attachments

Here's a nice method for sending text and html at the same time.
That way, people without html mail readers can read it also.
You could easily add an attachment to this, before the end boundary.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Mail::Sendmail;
use strict;

my ($boundary,$html_email,$text_email,%email);

$boundary = 'qwerqwerqewrqwesdsad' . time;

$html_email = qq(html
headtitleEmail/title/head
body
Hello world!
/body
/html
);

$text_email = qq(Hello world!\n);

%email = (   To = 'zentara@zentara',
From= 'zentara@zentara',
Subject = 'Hello world',
'MIME-Version'  =  1.0,
'Content-type'  =  multipart/alternative; boundary=$boundary,
Message =
qq(--$boundary
Content-type: text/plain; charset=UNKNOWN-8BIT

Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

Casey West, Kevin Meltzer and Ask Bjoern Hansen currently carry large,

are privately emailed by one of these folks for flaming, being
off-topic, etc... please listen to what they say. If you see a message
sent to the list by one of these people saying that a thread is closed,
do not continue to post to the list on that thread! If you do, you will
not only meet face to face with a XQJ-37 nuclear powered pansexual
roto-plooker, but you may also be taken off of the list. These people
simply want to make sure the list stays topical, and above-all, useful
to Perl/CGI beginners.

  1.11 - When was this FAQ last updated?

Sept 07, 2001

2 -  Questions about the 'beginners-cgi' list.
  2.1 - What is the list for?

A list for beginning Perl programmers to ask questions in a friendly
atmosphere. The topic of the list is, of course, CGI with Perl.

  2.2 - What is this list _not_ for?

* SPAM
* Homework
* Solicitation
* Things that aren't Perl related
* Non Perl/CGI questions or issues
* Lemurs
  2.3 - Are there any rules?

Yes. As with most communities, there are rules. Not many, and ones that
shouldn't need to be mentioned, but they are.

* Be nice
* No flaming
* Have fun
  2.4 - What topics are allowed on this list?

Basically, if it has to do with Perl/CGI , then it is allowed. If your
question has nothing at all to do with Perl/CGI, it will likely be
ignored.

  2.5 - I want to help, what should I do?

Subscribe to the list! If you see a question which you can give an
idiomatic and Good answer to, answer away! If you do not know the
answer, wait for someone to answer, and learn a little.

  2.6 - Is there anything I should keep in mind while answering?

We don't want to see 'RTFM'. That isn't very helpful. Instead, guide the
beginner to the place in the FM they should R :)

  2.7 - I don't want to post a question if it is in an FAQ. Where should I
look first?

Look in the FAQ! Get acquainted with the 'perldoc' utility, and use it.
It can save everyone time if you look in the Perl FAQs first, instead of
having a list of people refer you to the Perl FAQs :) You can learn
about 'perldoc' by typing:

perldoc perldoc

At your command prompt. You can also view documentation online at:

http://www.perldoc.com and http://www.perl.com

3 - Other Resources
  3.1 - What other websites may be useful to a beginner ?

* Perl Home Page - http://www.perl.com
* PerlMonks - http://www.perlmonks.org
* Perldoc - http://www.perldoc.com
* Perl Archives - http://www.perlarchives.com
  3.2 - What resources may be harmful to a beginner?

Beware of Perl4-like code-- You might find some script archives and
unauthorized mirrors with old Perl4 versions of Selena Sol and Matt
Wright scripts. Don't use those scripts. They are outdated and may even
in some cases contain bugs or security problems since many may not have
been updated in 

Admin by Apache and Nt

2002-10-10 Thread Sentenza

Hi,
I'm new here and I have just a question
I try to run a script from a web page by Apache.
This script query the dns file of the dns-server domain.it.dns:
open (MYDNS,dns_serv\\C\$\\winnt\\system32\\dns\\mydomain.it.dns )
If I run this script by CMD the script function great, but by CGI it seems not work.
It can't find the file or what?
I copy the file on my local disk c:\dnsfile.it.dns and it works either with cgi and 
cmd.
Someone have any idea or an interpretation of the fact??

Mystery number 1 in output

2002-10-10 Thread Ramon Hildreth

Hi,
When the sub (listed below) is called, it generates a 1 within td
tags as the first table cell in the table.
I am mystified to as why this is happening. I just have td's with labels
and form elements. 
??
Any ideas, is this a bug?

sub display_entry_form
{

print table( {-border='0', -cellpadding='3',
-cellspacing='3', -bgcolor='#bdc6de'},
Tr({align='left', valign='top'},
[
td([
print start_form ( -action = url())
   ]),
   
td([
contact name:  , textfield ( -name = contact,
   -override ='1',
   -value = ,
   -maxlength='40',
   -size='40',
   )]),
td([
phone number:  , textfield ( -name = phone,
   -override ='1',
   -value = ,
   -maxlength='20',
   -size='20',
   )]),


td([
email address: , textfield ( -name = email,

td([

-defualt = general,

You have a tiny bug in your code.  Reformatting to make it easier to read (IMHO):

  print 
table( {
-border  ='0',
-cellpadding ='3',
-cellspacing ='3',
-bgcolor ='#bdc6de'
  },
  Tr( {
  align  = 'left',
  valign = 'top'
},
[
  td( [
  print start_form ( ...

And I'll stop right there because it's your bug.  You're printing the return value of 
a print. 
print returns a result letting you know if the print succeeded or not.  That's what 
you're
printing.

Here's a test case:

perl -e 'print print Ovid'

That prints Ovid1

Cheers,
Ovid

css in cgi generated page

2002-10-10 Thread Ian Watt

is there some special trick to linking a style sheet to your page when 
the page is generated by a cgi script?
I have this sub routine that prints the header of a html page:
  sub write_html_header
  {
print Content-type: text/html\n\nhtml\n head\n;
print   link rel='stylesheet' href='mystyle.css' /\n;
print   title$_[0]/title\n;
print /head\nbody\n;
  }
When I run this in a browser it displays the page normally except the 
style sheet isn't applied to the page at all.  It just shows the 
default colors.  I also tried it with the attributes type='text/css' 
and media='screen' but nothing seems to work.  I've tried it in 
Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape 7.0, Mozilla 1.2a and Opera 6.05.  The 
stylesheet doesn't work in any browser and I've only used simple style 
attributes, like changing colors and fonts.  I don't believe there is 
anything wrong with the code I have because it works when i link to it 
from a hardcoded html page, so what happening here?
