I have a related question, somehow I don't know why all my posts to alt.apache.configuration were blocked (no I didn't spam --- and I didn't have ever posted to that newsgroup).

I would like to use a TCL script as a CGI script. However, somehow Apache returns the type as application/x-tcl that prevents it from being handled properly by browsers (marked below).

===========================

cbkihong@cbkihong:~/public_html/cgi-bin> telnet localhost 80
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /~cbkihong/cgi-bin/ip.tcl HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 27 May 2003 10:35:07 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.43 (Unix) mod_perl/1.99_07-dev Perl/v5.8.0 DAV/2
PHP/4.3.1
Content-Length: 91
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/x-tcl <<<<-------------------

Content-Type: text/html

<html>
<body>
<p>Your IP address is ::1</p>
</body>
</html>

Connection closed by foreign host.

===============================================================

This makes the browser not interpreting it as html and generating a file
save dialog instead, although the script has already been executed and the script
generates the text/html content-type line. How can I make apache use the
content-type line generated by my script instead just like the case for Perl?

CGI passing arrays/hashes to another CGI script

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! :)

NAME

       times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell

SYNOPSIS

   sh
       times

   ksh
       times

DESCRIPTION

   sh
       Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell.

   ksh
       Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell.

       On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:

       1.  Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.

       2.  I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.

       3.  Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.

       4.  Words,  following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
           able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation  are  not
           performed.
