Getting data from external URL
Hello, I want to get data from an external url in my perl program (either thru Embperl Execute or directly from perl). What I need is like this. There is a URL which gives some information in text format. I want to get that into a variable or file using perl and using my own html templates, I want to show that data. If anyone has done something like this, please let me know. Thanks Vijay

Wierd problem with redirect
Hello, I have a perl script which tries to redirect the URL to another page. It gives peculiar problem. The resultant page source is as follows --- Content-type: text/html Location: /scripts/visitorinfo.cgi?pageid=mailhdr&lang=EN - As you can see, the Content-type and Location information is shown in the screen rather than really taking the url. THe perl code is as follows: First I am setting the cookie. print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print ""; print ""; print "\n"; Immediately after this, Iam trying the recirect. print "Content-type: text/html "."\n\n"; print "Location: /scripts/visitorinfo.cgi?pageid=mailhdr&lang=EN\n\n"; exit 0; This results in the page as given above. IN the Location, I tried giving full url including the domain name. Also, I tried to use CGI->redirect also. It showed the page moved to new location error on the screen. Not the actual page. This is running on a Raq3i server with perl 5.0.6 and mod-perl (version I am not sure) and Embperl. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Vijay Nair
Silly Question
Hello, We recently bought a new Raq3 server. We have developed a script to add users directly from the web interface. IT is bombing out as the script should be run as 'root'. I want to know if the script can be set with setuid as root for execution. Thanks for any help. VIjay
Re: EmbPerl and scope
I used following method to get Embperl working in my system.
[- Execute ('other.html',"$a") -]
other.html
The value of a is [+ $param[0] +]
This works fine.

Re: URL Redirection
Hello,
I got a work around for the problem I am having.
- Set a cookie header using meta command as
set-cookie is not working properly
on my box thru mod_perl. Somewhere it
is creating a problem and I am not sure
where. Using meta command I set up a
cookie for the session id.
- Create a file on my disk with all
parameters selected by the user with the session-id
as the file id.
- Get the session-id using the environment
variable $ENV('HTTP_COOKIE'}
- Load the file with the session id and
populate the user selected parameters as well as
add new selections
- Pass-on these parameters to the web pages
(Embperl encoded) using the
HTML::Embperl::Execute
command.
At present, all these are done thru three
scripts.
Although the browser address is not showing
the full URL, it shows correct results.
I am trying more to refine this and create one
generic Perl script to handle all pages in
my site.
Thanks for all your help.
Vijay

Subject: RE: URL Redirection
As I was having problem to set up Embperl as
CGI, I found out a way to workaround
that. To call HTML::Embperl::Execute from my
perl script and pass the html
document as parameter. This works
OK.
That is, like Tom and Vivek pointed out, cgiwrapper eats the
PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED
What I want to achieve is to have the
some session info (basically I want to create
my own session persistant data for various
statistical purposes) to be part of
the URL. (I mean the browser address to show
something like
http://my.domain.com/myplscript.pl?session=1&id=21). I am using a
generic
perl script to manage all pages and using
embperl to link each together. My problem
is the "Location:
myscript.pl?session=1&id=21" is not showing in the address
line
fully, but executing properly. This will give
me a problem if the user reloads or move backwards
from other page. I want the address line to
show full url address including the parameters
when I redirect it so that reloads and
backwards will work properly.
Sorry, but I don't understand what you

Missing embperl.pl file in the tar of HTML-Embperl-1.2b9
Hello, I was reading the instructions for usage. As our server is Apache and I am not sure if I can use Embperl compiled into Apache with mod-perl as we are using cgi-wrapper. Hence, I wanted to use this as a CGI. I tried to locate the file embpcgi.pl to copy into my cgi-bin directory without success. I searched in the tar log file. It was not there. Please advise.
