Need a cgi-script in PERL...

[fryke]

I hope we'll find a person here that can help me. ;-)

The script needs to basically do the following:

1.) Take the input from a HTML form (two or three user writable fields and two or three hidden fields).

2.) Load a template and write the elements into a text file.

3.) CHMOD the file to 755.

That's all. Anyone want to help me... for free?

I would love to, but i myself haven't learnt Perl yet, but why don't you use this as a good way to start learning it??

 

[fryke]

Hm. You're soooo mean.

Have you looked over at any archives yet? You could try www.hotscripts.com, see if anything they have there would work or a combo of the two.

check out this script ...http://bignosebird.com/carchive/bnbform.shtml

i use it all the time to write forms to text files. it has a lot of extra features but you can make it run simple too.

what do u mean by "load a template.."

I'm looking into this one... Thx... Sounds promising, although it might do almost too much. ;-)

there are more in the cgi-resources.com site in the perl section

-> wiz... the script should take a HTML template file with hooks à la |insert variable "text" here| and insert the results (from the form) to those hooks. at the end, it should write a HTML file composited from the template and the user input, resulting in a new file on a site.
