I know that this has a bad title, but I'm not sure how to sum it up well.
(And I'm new to Linux in general, so please excuse any incorrect terminology )
Anyway, I'm trying to create a script that gets whatever folder you're in, and then does a command with that directory as an argument. I guess that it would be easier to show you than explain.
I want it to do a pwd command, and then just get that last folder (ie /home/alberte/study would translate into just study) and then put that on the end of a system command.
Now, I figured that I would be able to do this properly in bash, so I started out with this:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
pwd | sed 's_/_\
_g'
I would then pass this into a text file, look at the top two lines, and if there was text in the second line, it would delete the first line (eventually removing everything except the last folder). But then I realized that you couldn't do this with sed (or at least, I don't think it can). Talking with a friend, he directed me to perl, seeing as it would be easy to do text parsing, so heeding his words, I checked out perl.
Well, now, I can get perl to easily return the last word that was passed into it (ie "script.pl this is a test" would just print out "test"). So I figured that I could just call the perl script from the bash, and then I would be set. So, these are my scripts right now:
Well, that really doesn't work. It looks like the Perl script isn't seeing this as arguments, but rather something else.
If any of you could point me in the right direction (even tutorials that feature this would be great), it would be very much appreciated. I've been working on this off and on for a few weeks, and I'd just like to get this done. Thanks for any help that you give in advance.

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.
