hi,
this is the perl script : abc.pl(say) -- this is in my cgi-bin...
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "content-type: text/html\n\n";
open (IN, ">abc.txt");
$x = ($inputs{name});
print IN $x;
close (IN);
open (IN, "abc.txt");
@arr = <IN>;
print @arr;
close (IN);
and this is the html ... abc.html(say) in the httpd/html ....
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/abc.pl">Enter the name:
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" value="click">
</form>
</body>
</html>
if i run the .pl from command prompt with perl abc.pl , i t works fine and the abc.txt is created..now if i delete the abc.txt and run the script from the browser, the abc.txt is not created at all. i think there is something else that i might have to configure to be able to use files in cgi...help please...
thanks,
Prats.
