Webhosting Perl and CGI Scripts: Difference between revisions

[[File:Couk.png|link=:Category:Webhosting]]

 

You can upload any perl scripts to anywhere on your web site. You can make a cgi-bin directory if you like, but scripts can be included anywhere on your web site.

Within the script, the mail program used for sending mail is /usr/lib/sendmail . You should not use this with the -t argument (which find the From and To in the email) but use -f 'from-email-address' 'to-email-address' in place of the -t argument.

 

 

There are various perl scripts available on the internet, and many books on the subject. You do not have access to php or mysql on the server, and you may have to change the use of sendmail as above.

 

Your scripts have access to the following environment variables :-

{| class="wikitable"

| QUERY_STRING

|-

| PATH_INFO
