[GLLUG] CGI/Perl Script

[Daniel]

Sure thing. Here:

#!/usr/bin/perl

require "./cgi-lib.pl";
print &PrintHeader;
&ReadParse(*input);

$path1=$input{'path1'};
$path2=$input{'path2'};
{do whatever you need with the input here}



Then, when you call the cgi, pass the args as:

http://blah.woof.com/foo.cgi?path1=firstpart&path2=secondpart


Is this what you need? (I suck at perl, so feel free to point out any mistakes I made here)
