io,
can someone help me please. I am trying (for many hours) to read an html
file using a URL address and not a path.
Thanks in advance
Malcolm
This works:-
use CGI; # Use the CGI.pm module
use strict;
my ($html,$meta,$lockit,$lines,$path_to_input_file,@metas,@lines);
my $q = new CGI;
# Absolute path to input file to read html:
$path_to_input_file = "/Inetpub/wwwroot/lnks/index.html";
#THIS OPENS THE HTML FILE
open(HTML,$path_to_input_file) || die"Can't open $path_to_input_file : $!";
# Read everything in file to $meta
{ local $/;
$html = <HTML>;
}
close HTML;

This will not work:-
use CGI; # Use the CGI.pm module
use strict;
my ($html,$meta,$lockit,$lines,$url_to_input_file,@metas,@lines);
my $q = new CGI;
# URL to input file to read html:
$url_to_input_file = "http://yes/lnks/index.html";;
#THIS OPENS THE HTML FILE
open(HTML,$url_to_input_file) || die"Can't open $url_to_input_file : $!";
# Read everything in file to $meta
{ local $/;
$html = <HTML>;
}
close HTML;
