Hi All,
I have a script which, amazingly, is doing exactly what it is supposed
to do. It is taking user input, processing it and, over several
iterations of the script, building a text file on the server. The text
file itself is used as the input to a Java applet.
All works fine on my local
You have left out some details, but from what I read above, this is
not a
perl issue.
To clarify, you have a perl script that creates a text file. You then
open a
browser that downloads a Java applet from a remote server. You want
this
applet to read the local file. Correct?
If so, then

It isn't working.
$cnt=chmod 0644 'textfile.txt';
after running, textfile.txt is still -rw-rw-rw-
Is this command possible as the WWW user when running the CGI?

This may be the wrong forum to ask this...
How do I uninstall a module downloaded from CPAN? Specifically, I
cannot get the DBD::MySQL driver to install under OS X. It refuses to
find the mysql_config file, and when I run Makefile again with the -L
and -I switches it won't work after install.
You may have better luck in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list since OS X likes
to do all kinds of weird things with its Perl, and with regards to
DBI/DBD in [EMAIL PROTECTED] Typically removing a Perl module is
not as easy as installing them, removing the associated files is only
one step...
Sorry
It seems like it should be secure. I am assuming the session cookie
would store the server's public key? or some such? My question would
be how do you implement an RC4 encryption (or any encryption other
than the built-in SSL) on the client side? Possibly a Java applet with
the encryption
Hi All,
I need to implement a form that is submitted securely. My client does
not have access to SSL on his host. I was thinking in terms of a
session cookie with a client side RC4 encrypt and a decrypt in the Perl
script. Do peoople here consider that to be a secure scenario, or is
there
eBay, Thanks. I learnt something there.
Equally, thanks to Bob, nice solution which I also didn't know.

A quick question about a while loop.
I have a simple code that searches database for all entries and puts
one of the fields into a select box on the output page. However, due to
a mistake in my untaint routine (which I've fixed) if a visitor entered
their name in Japanese characters, the entry
If I am reading this correctly (which I am probably not!) you need
another foreach loop in there somewhere. When you compare $file with
$lines, you are trying to compare the contents of @temp. I think you
need to wrap your comparison with a foreach loop:
foreach $file (sort readdir (DH)) {

If you are assigning the value of the field available to a variable
then
you should kill or delete that variable (CGI::delete) before you are
able to
assign a new value to it.

No, I'm not assigning the value of available to a previously used
variable. For safety's sake, I am reading
Bare in mind that I am still a beginner at coding. Why is it good
practice to create an object when using CGI, rather than just diving
in?
For example:

and

Am I understanding you correctly? Your form only has two fields,

In that case SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE lastname = '$a2' AND

that, but it seems you can) so all you need to do

Hi all,
Searched the archives for an answer to this, but nothing seems to
answer the right question.
My basic page has three frames. The top frame contains global
navigation and never changes. The left frame (side.html,
name=leftFrame) contains a console for want of a better word. The

you will still need to deal with 'targets'
so you will need to know when you want

since you are repainting all of the window,
and when you want

so that something clicked in the vertical navigation
will show up in the MainBody Section...
Yes, happy with those as

I have a script which mostly works, but when I get to the part with

of the query. Where is the value of the
