cgi script question
Hi All,
I have a web page that is a cgi script running in the cgi-bin and the script calls informatica via the command line. The problem I have is that if there is an error in the informatica workflow then exit status of my command line call does not get populated and it seems like the page is still running informatica.
But if the informatica process exits without errors then the exit status of my command line call gets a zero and the web page terminates nicely.
I did a ps -ef to look at my informatica call and it has a parent id of the cgi script that invoked it.
the informatica call also spawns process the children have the id of the parent.
The last child seems to error in informatica.
The command line parent that spawned it loses it it's parent id pointing to the cgi script which in turn just hangs.
I tried putting the command line call in it's own shell script and executing that shell script from the cgi script then looping and doing a ps -ef on the children and if I don't find anymore children and the parent terminate the web page with alert box saying that it's finished running.
seems like that approach does not work as the cgi script seems to be waiting for the informatica to return some type of exit code.
any ideas ?
Thanks

If I have a Perl CGI script (script01), which fills an array(s) with information and outputs a HTML page with a link to another CGI page (script02); is there anyway to pass the array(s) from "script01" to "script02" when the page visitor clicks the link?
Hope that makes sense!

plack::app::cgibin
Plack::App::CGIBin(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Plack::App::CGIBin(3pm)
NAME
Plack::App::CGIBin - cgi-bin replacement for Plack servers
SYNOPSIS
use Plack::App::CGIBin;
use Plack::Builder;
my $app = Plack::App::CGIBin->new(root => "/path/to/cgi-bin")->to_app;
builder {
mount "/cgi-bin" => $app;
};
# Or from the command line
plackup -MPlack::App::CGIBin -e 'Plack::App::CGIBin->new(root => "/path/to/cgi-bin")->to_app'
DESCRIPTION
Plack::App::CGIBin allows you to load CGI scripts from a directory and convert them into a PSGI application.
This would give you the extreme easiness when you have bunch of old CGI scripts that is loaded using cgi-bin of Apache web server.
HOW IT WORKS
This application checks if a given file path is a perl script and if so, uses CGI::Compile to compile a CGI script into a sub (like
ModPerl::Registry) and then run it as a persistent application using CGI::Emulate::PSGI.
If the given file is not a perl script, it executes the script just like a normal CGI script with fork & exec. This is like a normal web
server mode and no performance benefit is achieved.
The default mechanism to determine if a given file is a Perl script is as follows:
o Check if the filename ends with ".pl". If yes, it is a Perl script.
o Open the file and see if the shebang (first line of the file) contains the word "perl" (like "#!/usr/bin/perl"). If yes, it is a Perl
script.
You can customize this behavior by passing "exec_cb" callback, which takes a file path to its first argument.
For example, if your perl-based CGI script uses lots of global variables and such and are not ready to run on a persistent environment, you
can do:
my $app = Plack::App::CGIBin->new(
root => "/path/to/cgi-bin",
exec_cb => sub { 1 },
)->to_app;
to always force the execute option for any files.
