Personally, I'd write them to a file and them get them. That doesn't leave
you with installing modules and so on. Plus you can get a good overview. But

Hi!!
I have a CGI that updated a mysql database, I have a nested hash
structure in it.
something like
$repeats{$solID[i]}{$expId[i]}{$elemenet[$i]}=1
If I am to check this hash is the inner loop written as
foreach $k1 (keys %repeats){
foreach $k2 (keys
You could try using a refresh. First click pulls the information from the database and
stuffs it into a file. The refresh loads the link of that file and downloads it from
the browser.

Hi sven (et al)
Wiggins(?) has a good point about calling the script remotely. But
I was trying to figure out what the script actually does and I couldn't find
a value for $sql...but my guess is that it looks for new members of some
sort and gives them a random password? Is this
Yup...I'm afraid this isn't possible within a browser (for security reasons)
but you could easily build a simple perl client that would (using LWP) make
a request to a CGI and save the result locally. The problem there is the
UI...If you're not using a browser to retrieve the info from a server,
My provider doesn`t allow any user cronjobs, but I have to perform a
regular task (set back passwords ).
So I just wrote a small script to the job for me, but I am not sure if
it will need to much resources (and because of this would be killed by
my provider)
Does anyone know a better solution
You could setup the script to run through CGI and then use cron on another box to
curl, lynx, LWP, etc. the script at your intervals. This is obviously less secure, but
you could do things like require a password, check the IP of the machine doing the
call (though this can be spoofed as well,
Or if you don't have another server where you can set a cron job, and if you
don't need the program to run exactly at a certain interval, you can
activate your program each time someone visits your front page.
Then you could modify the program to be really activated only after an hour,
24 hours,

There seems to be no real clean way of doing this, I can think of two

If you are using sendmail you would the start up script would have

Hello,
How do I compute the checksum of a binary file (and for that matter any

What I am trying to automate the download of a set of files. Now what I

download.
I thought a checksum check will be the best way,
With ASP.net, MONO, and sun implication why would someone still use Perl

Possibly better asked to beginners-cgi, but in any case.

MONO - vaporware
Sun - $$, apples and oranges?
I am sure I will right a soapbox on this later, but for now those seem like 3 good
