Hi all,
By mistake I sent the message under a different subject... my apologies
This concerns running a Perl CGI program on a Windows 2000 server. I know
Perl very well but have always used it on Linux/Unix based servers.
However, on Windows 2000, I'm facing a problem. I can't get the Perl script
to open a ASCII file. Am completely stumped!!!
I need to open a plain text file (ASCII), read each line and display it to
the visitor.
Even the simplest program (below) is not working.
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Log file</TITLE></HEAD>\n";
print "<BODY>\n";
open (III, "file.txt");
while (<III>)
{
print "$_";
}
close III;
print "</BODY>\n";
print "</HTML>\n";
The Perl file as well as the text file are placed in the cgi-bin directory.
Am I missing something here?
Also want to know if FLOCK works on Windows 2000 server.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Regards,
Manish Sharma
