Hi :

I've tried this in the perl script with no luck. Here is what I did.
 I have this after reading replies I got.

$javascriptwin = "
function openWindow(u, n, w, h)
{
 var win = window.open(u, n, \"toolbar=no,location=no,\"+
 \"status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes\"+
  \"width=\"+w+\",height=\"+h);
}
";

In the hash that has the  is pasted below:

%hashdata = (
...
'key_data' => [">>>onclick=\"openWindow(\"http://www.domain.com/file.html\",\"win\";,
 400, 400); return false;\">?<\/a>"],

);

This does not open a new window at all. I also do not even see the
 contents of the file as well.

Have I missed something here?

[Louis] Sure but I also want no toolbars, no menu bars, but only scrollbars.

So I do this :

$option = "toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes";

and add $option at the tail of your code snippet.

So I guess I add an extra variable in your code snippet. I will try again
with the above snippet and see what happens.

[SLUG] Paths Dilema on RH Linux Server

[education]

Hi Sluggers:

I have been looking at an efficient way to move away from having to
constantly have paths specified in scripts repeatedly. So here is the full
story in great detail so that I can hopefully get an informed decision.
This is not a problem but merely looking for an efficient way to do this.

When I write scripts (Perl) I normally specify the full paths to the base
root directory (base html dir) and the path to cgi-bin specified. With
these two paths I can access other scripts interfaces after pushing the
path in @INC and use 'require', and also process text files etc 

Now I was normally specifying these two paths in all scripts at the top in
the past. But recently have been thinking about moving away from this. So
here are two things I did but is not quite to what I want to achieve but
close.

Attempt 1.
===
I basically have a text file where I have these two full paths specified.
The file is located in the same directory as all the scripts. If there are
scripts in another directory, then in that directory I have a sim link to
the file that holds the actual path data. Now in all scripts, I just do
this before anything else to set the paths:

my @paths;

open (FILE, "path.dat") || die "error blah blah ...";
while() {
chomp;
push @paths, $_;
}
close (FILE);

As I know the order of the paths in the file, I have these two below as
globals:

my $homedir = $paths[0];
my $cgibin = $paths[1];

This work greats with browser called scripts, but I hit a problem with
scripts that runs via cron. The problem with cron scripts is that it
cannot open the "path.dat" file despite that it's in the same directory as
the cron script itself. I think where cron executes (don't know where)
it's not in reference with the same directory where the script and file is
located, so cannot see it.

So I moved away from this solution and went to attempt 2.

Attempt 2.
===
I create a 'path.pl' script where I specify $homedir, $cgibin, and other
other common used stuff by all scripts via a routine called "set_paths()".
Then with "Exporter::Lite", I export these two variables and the others.

In other scripts the problem is that I have to tell it from this 'path.pl'
script is. So I am forced to have one path specified. i.e I have to define

$cgibin = "/path_to_where_path.pl_is_located";

Then I do this

push($cgibin, @INC);
require 'path.pl';

&set_paths();

This now has all common stuff accessible. But I still have to specify one
hardcoded path in all scripts which is no way as good as attempt one. With
attempt 2 cron scripts also works fine.

I have been looking at a way to have @INC permanently have the path to
where this 'path.pl' is located so that all I need to do is just call
"&set_paths()". I read about this from this url

http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html#_INC_and_mod_perl

However I'm not sure what configuration file they are talking about and
also what is this startup.pl script located. It also appears that only the
server administrator can do this. Is this right ?

So for now I am with attempt 2 as I can run cron and browser called scripts.

If anyone have some thoughts or a better solution on this please share
them with me.

Cheers.

[Louis] The script is suppose to update some files and also sends some
output to the display. I know that "> /dev/null >> 2>&1" will not display
anything to the screen. But after looking into it it also revealed that
the files that should be updated were not.

Removing it shows the display I have in the script and also updates the
files I wanted updated.

So does this mean there is something in the script that's doing this ?

[Louis] This is not installed on my server. I will get it installed to
play with. However I have just read about it from CPAN from the reference
you gave. I have some questions about this.
Here goes:

Q1. This may sound basic. I suppose if I encrypt the file, then if I run
it on another server, does it just needs EmbPerl (same version or any
version) installed ?

I read from the README that the "epcrypto_config.h" file needs to be
edited to enable encryption and choose the algorithm to use.

Q2. Does the setup for this part on the other server have to be the same ?
i.e for the other server to decrypt the binary and run the perl script the
header file has to be edited and recompiled to use the exact algorithm ?
Can't EmbPerl detect what algorithm to use when decrypting ?

Q3. When encrypting the file from the epcrypto program, can I name the
destination filename as a ".pl" script ?

Q4. As this is a Perl script I am trying to encrypt, does the path to perl
have to be in the source before encryption ? Will the script work if I add
the path to perl manually in the destination filename ?

Q5. Finally I suppose all I distribute is the destination encrypted files,
and DO NOT give out the source files from the crypto directory ?

Once I get it installed I will play with it a little bit. If I need more
help I'll post again.

Cheers.

[SLUG] Removing Toolbars etc.. from browser window

[education]

Hi Sluggers:

Objective:
When someone clicks on a link, I want a new browser window to open with no
toolbars, menubar. I want scrollbars. I know Javascript has window.open()
to achieve what I want. However the new window opens up from a  tag
from a script. I tried window.open() in the  tag but it did not work. I
have also tried this in the ".html" file I want to open up in the new
resized browser window with no menu and toolbars.

I have this sample Javascript in the  tag


function resizeWindow(width,height){
if (document.layers) {
// resizeTo sets inner size, so use this instead
window.outerWidth = width;
window.outerHeight = height;
} else window.resizeTo(width,height);
}


Now in my  tag I have added this



This of course just resizes the window. But it still leaves the toolbars
and menu bars. Any ideas on how I can extend the above script with a
window.open() or something similar would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

[SLUG] Anyone used Perl's Filter package !!

[education]

Hi :

I download the package Filter-1.26 from CPAN. I'm having problems
understanding how to use this package to get Perl code to go through the
filter before compilation.

If anyone has used this or have experience with this would it be possible
to get a quick run down on how to get a simple Perl script to pass through
this package before compilation and then execute the code.

Also does this method clearly prevents anyone from seeing the source code
of a Perl script ?

Are there any dangers that part of the code may not execute as expected
when passed through this package ?

My objective is to get all my POD formatted scripts and main scripts to
pass through a Filter before compilation. I'm basically looking for a way
to prevent users from seeing the source code of the Perl scripts. Am I on
the right track with this package ?

Thanks in advance.

Louis.

[SLUG] Questions about AWStats Logs !!

[education]

Hi Sluggers:

I hope some people here have heard of AWStats. I have some questions
regarding the stats it provides. Please note that I have looked up the
AWStats documents but am not sure if I'm understanding everything
properly. So I will ask here. So please confirm my understanding and
queries.

Issue 1:

First let start with Unique Visitor. From my understanding a unique
visitor is a host that came to a web site. A unique visitor can have more
than one visits, and a visit can consist of more than 1 page viewed. Not
let's say I connect to the internet using my ISP that uses dynamic IP
addressing. If I go to my own main url site (i.e the base index.html) will
AWStats count this as a Unique Visitor if the IP address changes from each
connection despite the fact that I visted the site myself ?

For such a visit does this unique visitor falls in the category "Direct
address / Bookmarks" from AWStats "Connect to site from" ?

If so then does "Direct address / Bookmarks"  means I'm the one visited
the site, i.e if most of the hits are from hosts that resolves to my ISP
domain name provider ?

Issue 2:
=
If I connect to my site via ftp or SSH is this also logged as Unique
Visitor ? Does uploads and downloads counts as visits ?

Issue 3:
=
AWStats has a section called "Authenticated users (Top 10)". What falls in
the category "Other logins (and/or anonymous users)" ?

Issue 4:
==
Cron scripts that accesses web pages not via browser but command line.
Does AWStats count stats for this as hits and logged them as Unique
Visitors for host that resolve to the domain name where the cron is
executed ?

Cheers.

[SLUG] Hiding Perl Code - Using Morse.pm

[education]

Hi Sluggers:

Summary:
I have Perl code written in various .pl files. One main file uses
"require" so that interfaces from the other .pl files are available. The
main file has the path to perl in there.

The other files just have interfaces and their implementation as well. I
have written these ones using the POD format

Objective and Problem:
I tried to use Morse.pm to hide the code in the POD formatted files only.
The code is hidden when I first run them from my PC. However the main
script file which is not Morsed cannot read the Morsed encoded code.

I have loaded "use Morse" at the very top in each of the interface files.

I'm running the main script on apache using RH 7.3 .

Any suggestions.

Louis.

Well the "hop=some_data" is dynamic. Looks like a script is required to do
this then, and pass it dynamically to all  tag on the page being viewed
so that when a new page is clicked on, the "hop=some_data" is preserved.

Well from the page

http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html?hop=some_data

I clicked on a link for the order page which has this

http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/orderpage.pl?value=some_data_the_order_script_uses";>

This shows QUERY_STRING as

value=some_data_the_order_script_uses

It looks like I need to somehow parse the "hop=some_data" dynamically to
the "orderpage.pl" scripts so that when clicked it has this

href="http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/orderpage.pl?value=some_data_the_order_script_uses&hop=some_data";

Any other way I can do this ?

Thanks for this piece of code. I already have a read_input() sub doing

I'll see if there are any javascript already available to do this. Or I

[SLUG] HTTP_REFERER not found [Repost]

[education]

Hi Sluggers:

I subscribed with a new email address. So I am reposting my query on this.

Setup:
Url comes to site like this

http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html?hop=some_data

Q1. If I click on a link to go to another HTML page say name.html, I lose
the "hop=some_data" part. How do I make the "hop=some_data" go with the
"name.html" with the  tag from an HTML document ? Is this possible or a
script can do this only ?

Q2. The order page calls a Perl script say "orderpage.pl", I want the
script to capture the "hop=some_data". I got the script to print the whole
%ENV, and I see no "HTTP_REFERER". I thought "HTTP_REFERER" would show the
url that called "orderpage.pl" with the "hop=some_data" . But if I cannot
see "HTTP_REFERER", then how do I get the script to capture the
"hop=some_data" ?

Thank You.

[SLUG] Weird HTML Omitting code via Browser !!

[education]

Hi Sluggers:

Issue:
For some reason when I load an html file in a browser some of the data is
not displayed. e.g I have an image  tag code in there. But when I do
view source via browser, I do not see the image  tag for the image I
wanted to see. However when I open the html file via the command line, I
see that the  tag for that particular image is there.

Has anyone experienced this ? Is this the web server server doing this ?

I am using Red Hat 7.3.

AWStats (http://awstats.sourceforge.net/) is a server side program. I
believe you install as root in it's html, cgi-bin repository. Then root
sets it up so that sites on the server can use it as well.

>From your suggestions above (from root):

html => /var/www/html
cgi-bin => /var/www/cgi-bin

Cheers.

[SLUG] Anyone Installed AWStats on a Server

[education]

Hi Sluggers:

I'm trying to install AWStats onto my web server. However I am stuck with
the setup/install instructions.

It asks me to install all scripts on the server's cgi-bin, where is that
located for "root" ?

It also asks me to install some other files in a directory readable by web
server. Again does root have a directory that I can access via web ?

Thanks in advance.
