Forms in Perl
Here are some perl scripts relevant to the handling of CGI forms.
Other perl/html stuff may be found off the perl/html page. Steven
Brenner has written at greater
length about the utility of Perl for CGI forms. The version of cgi-lib.pl seen here is a dated
version; you are encouraged to pick up the latest release.
Perl 5 users may wish to keep abreast of the CGI.pm
project headed by Lincoln Stein, which is intended to be a
clean replacement for cgi-lib.pl.
In your enthusiasm, don't forget about security!
I've been besieged by requests for mailto forms, so I wrote
one. Anyone in the world can submit to http://icg.resnet.upenn.edu/mailto.cgi.
- cgi-lib.pl
- Steven Brenner's script turns messy input into an
associative array of keys and values. It provides two
sample functions to print the output.
- generic.pl
- a generic perl script, similar in spirit to the standard
post-query. calls cgi-lib.pl
- form.html
- a generic form calling generic.pl.
