Folks,
I was successfully using a POST command in libwww-perl-0.40
to send a line command to a WWW Server CGI. I wanted a way to add password
verification and it was recommended that I upgrade to libwww-perl-0.5b6.
However, I can find no examples of using the POST command
to a CGI and have no models for INC and BEGIN phrases that would
successfull respond to the POST. Using the CGI I currently have
which uses the phrase...
push(@INC,"/usr/local/WWW/Server/cgi-bin");
require "cgi-lib.pl";
to reference cgi libraries to parse the command nows returns an
HTML containing the error...
Can't locate auto/Socket/sockaddr_in.al in @INC
Obviously I have been dropped in the quick sand of perl5
land without sufficient examples of what is required to get the
working parts to talk to one another. I suspect I need to reference
LWP::Parse in place of the cgi-lib.pl routines, but right now
without a cohesive explanation of the differences between perl4
and perl5, or cookbook examples, I am unsure how to get the
documentation and information I need.
Suggestions?
