Running a Perl cgi program
|
The html to prompt for your name looks like this
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/hello-perl.cgi" METHOD="POST">
<label><b>Please enter your name</b></label>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="name" SIZE=30 >
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Note: you can also use javascript to prompt for the name rather than a form
See Javascript example1
The Perl cgi code on the server looks like this
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI qw(:standard);
use strict;
my $query = new CGI;
my $name = $query->param("name");
print $query->header("text/plain");
print "Hello $name \n";
