I have a small dynamic website I wrote in perl. All news and stuff is
entered through a web accessible backend page and the data is written to a
series of flat ascii text files. When I make a mistake in entering data,
or if I want to change most data, I have to shell in and edit it with vi
(no big deal). What I'd like to know is if there are simple web based text
file editors (written in perl) out there that I can integrate into my
website so I can edit these raw files over the web instead.
I had been thinking of writing a cgi script that would allow you to pick
any one of a predetermined set of data files to pull into a text area box
that could be edited and then returned as a form to over-write the old
version. It seems simple enough to read a text file into a webpage, but
I'm not sure that the I know how to return the edited file to the webserver
in the exact same format as it was retrieved.
