Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Can't get my head wrapped around CGI/Perl Post 302280250 by otheus on Monday 26th of January 2009 10:54:06 AM

I love Perl, but if you're somewhat new to Perl and need to do a lot of scripting for the Web, try using PHP. It's similar to Perl, but much better suited for handling web form data.

Anyway, I don't understand your requirement to take input from a TXT file and output the data as a form. How is the input data structured, and what kind of form are you trying to make? Is there more than one input TXT file? Does each form look the same for each TXT file? How do you define the placement of elements on the page? What kind of validation do you need for user input? What happens to the form data once you've processed it?

Net::DNS::RR::RP(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       Net::DNS::RR::RP(3)

NAME
Net::DNS::RR::RP - DNS RP resource record SYNOPSIS
use Net::DNS; $rr = new Net::DNS::RR('name RP mbox txtdname'); DESCRIPTION
Class for DNS Responsible Person (RP) resource records. METHODS
The available methods are those inherited from the base class augmented by the type-specific methods defined in this package. Use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data structures is discouraged and could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour. mbox $mbox = $rr->mbox; A domain name which specifies the mailbox for the person responsible for this domain. Its format in master files uses the DNS convention for mailbox encoding, identical to that used for the RNAME mailbox field in the SOA RR. The root domain name (just ".") may be specified to indicate that no mailbox is available. txtdname $txtdname = $rr->txtdname; A domain name identifying TXT RRs. A subsequent query can be performed to retrieve the associated TXT records. This provides a level of indirection so that the entity can be referred to from multiple places in the DNS. The root domain name (just ".") may be specified to indicate that no associated TXT RR exists. COPYRIGHT
