Simple CGI question
Hello, I'm trying to redirect the output of my CGI (written in Perl) to another frame, but I'm not exactly sure how to do this. i.e. I have two frames on my page one on the right and one on the left. There is a form on the right frame. When the user clicks on the Submit button on my form, I'd like to call a CGI script and redirect its output to the left frame. Could anyone please tell me how I can do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the right frame, put this: ... input type=button value='Submit' onClick='top.frames.leftframe.document.location.href = \yourscriptlocation.pl\' substituting 'leftframe' for the name of the left frame and 'yourscriptlocation.pl' for the URL of your script. -- Andrew Gaffney -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Simple CGI Question
In my perl CGI script, I'm trying to extract the PID that corresponds to it. How do I do this? I'm also trying to extract the timestamp. How come it's not possible to do something like: print HTMLBODY; print `time`; print /BODY/HTML; read `perldoc perlvar` You will find the following entry answers your question. $PID $$ The process number of the Perl running this script. You should consider this variable read-only, although it will be altered across fork() calls. (Mnemonic: same as shells.) As for the time, try $time = localtime(time); print $time; It's a built-in function.

Yes, I would agree, You'll find with just a little practice, you can write you own code and scripts easier, faster, and most times, more efficient for what you need. -Original Message- From: Randal L.
