I know my question maybe eazy, but it realy cause a problem for me
I have a Perl script to run and get some output, I run this script using perl /moutaz/ciscolog/telnet.pl
I made another script as follow
![Frown Smilie](https://www.unix.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
/moutaz/ciscolog/script)
#!/bin/bash
perl /moutaz/ciscolog/telnet.pl
cp /moutaz/ciscolog/ciscolog /moutaz/ciscolog/ciscolog-$(date'+%H-%M')-$RANDOM
Then made crontab as follow:

Web::Simple::Deployment(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Web::Simple::Deployment(3pm)
NAME
Web::Simple::Deployment - various deployment options
DESCRIPTION
This file documents common deployment methods for Web::Simple. If you feel one is missing, please ask in the IRC channel and we'll work
with you to add it.
CGI
The most basic deployment option is as a CGI script loading and running your Web::Simple-module:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use Your::Web::Simple::App;
Your::Web::Simple::App->run_if_script;
Save that as script.cgi and your web server will handle it correctly.
Plack-Server
This works in with exactly the same code as CGI deployment. However instead of letting your web server load script.cgi, you run this on the
command line:
plackup script.cgi
Self-contained CGI
Sometimes your app is so small that you have only one or two tiny classes that you want to run as a CGI script. Web::Simple offers a
helpful mechanism to achieve that.
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use Web::Simple 'HelloWorld'; # enables strictures and warnings for the file
# additionally, HelloWorld is upgraded to a
# Web::Simple application
{
package HelloWorld;
sub dispatch_request {
sub (GET) {
[
200,
[ 'Content-type', 'text/plain' ],
[ 'Hello world! It is a fine ' . HelloWorld::Helper->day ]
]
},
sub () {
[ 405, [ 'Content-type', 'text/plain' ], [ 'Method not allowed' ] ]
}
}
}
{
package HelloWorld::Helper;
use DateTime;
sub day {
return DateTime->now->day_name;
}
}
HelloWorld->run_if_script;
