red Hat linux 7.0 as the OS and it comes with perl
built in (perl-5.6.0-9). I installed MySQL server and

I think you should have something like the cgi-bin directory under the
web server where your cgi script should be. It depends on your web
server and how you configure it.

No benefit to that, really. ord('A') is calculated at compile-time, not

Hi,
some alternative approaches would be:
my $res = `$cmd`; # note that it's not "'" but "`"
# $res only stdout, this will puke out stderr
or
my $res = `$cmd 2>&1`; # redirect stderr to stdout
# $res is now both stderr and stdout
or
my $res = `$cmd 2>/dev/null`; # throw away stderr
# $res
Hi,
You can always write STDERR and STDOUT to a temp file then read the contents
of this file back in to your script.
eg
system (some_command 1>.stdout 2>.stder);
STDOUT is written to .stdout
STDERR is written to .stderr
Theres is probably a better way than this but I find this the easiest.
Hi,
There is a section in "Perl for system administration (O'reilly)" that

The examples use the useradd / userdel commands instead of editing the
