OK guys, this is a topic that has been bet to death,
and in my opinion, with no satisfactory re-solutes. The question
is simply, and I will expound by making my point very clear. OK...
The topic is 'EMBEDDING PERL INTO HTML'. I have read much on the
subject, and it seems to me that ALL approaches work in the other
direction. Which means to say, 'EMBEDDING HTML INTO PERL'. This is
evident in the fact that all approaches I've seen, at the very pity
top of the program it starts with the shebang line #!/usr/bin/perl -wT.
This, my good man, indicated the beginning of a PERL PROGRAM and not an
HTML document. Yes, now that I have established my frame of reference
with the obvious, to me anyway, is there a way to work from the other
direction. You see, using perl to general HTML format is very simple.
by using - print "
"; - I have generated output
that will print the value of two variables in HTML format that will attach
the output to an existing HTML table somewhere, in a HTML page, some where,
maybe, or more to the point, (as the question goes) how to. Everyone,
including Larry Wall, talk about what a great glue language perl is, and
its so great, and can do all this amazing crap. But I have yet, and I've
read a lot about this, seen how perl generated html output can be SENT to a
HTML page and displayed, successfully. So, can it be done ?? Or is all the
talk hype, and plowing smoke up, etc.,etc. if it can be done, HOW ??
your preview doesn't work very well does it. Such fine programers and ya can't
get a display page to work right. How are other people concerned about this
topic going to know what I'm talking about if your page will not display the
input, as the input was input ?? Ans from what I've read, there are lot of
people interested in HOW THIS IS DONE. And please, don't talk about cgi, it
starts with a shebang line, or other HTML into perl stuff, ok...
