Sidrath,
is there any need to adopt that surly attitude when responding?

Once again. This is a problem that can be easily solved reading the CGI
module documentation at:
http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/lib/CGI.html
use the CGI module:
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
my $filename = $q->url_param('filename'); # or
my $filename = $q->param('filename');

Hi,
THis is probably a simple question. Am new to perl and CGI so please
have mercy. I have a script which displays a list of files with links
to them. The links when hovered over in a browser show as:
display_file.pl?filename=blahblah
How can I extract the blahblah bit (which is the name of the selected
file) so that the display_file.pl script can know which file it is to
open and process? I think this makes sence. I want the script
display_file.pl to perform an action on file blahblah.
TIA
Francesco

Oh, I see. I'm a bit confused. Maybe it's my fault...
Do you have a string like "display_file.pl?filename=blahblah" or are you
calling the CGI with http://www.domain.it/display_file.pl?filename=blahblah
?
The code I wrote is for the latter...
In the first case, you could use regexes:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$_ = "display_file.pl?filename=blahblah";
m/=(\w+)$/;
$file = $1;
This works quite fine, but it is no good, if the String looks like
http://www.domain.it/display_file.pl?filename=blahblah&sex=yesplease&drugs=j
ustsayno
But I think you got the idea...
No, wait. I got the idea...
m/filename=(\w+)&?/;
should work perfectly...

I didn't generate a form - I am obviously mistaken as I was under the
impression that to use the param call then a form had to specify it.
Boy have I got much to learn.

I apologise to all who felt I came down in a somewhat condescending tone.
My feeling is simply that many people seem email the list as their first
solution. A question such as this is answered in almost any [good] guide to
cgi programming.
I apologise to anyone I offended.
