It doesn't have to be perl - can be a simple shell script. But that's up to you.
The form will send all the 'data' into QUERY_STRING variable - you just have to read it and separate each field (should be delimited with the & character) with each field having variable=input such as EMAIL=this&SYSTEM=that.
If you write a simple script you can see the results.
Once you see the results, build the script out to actually perform the same actions as the original web page (form_test.htm) by using echo statements to build the page and normal scripting to run the things you want to run (like splitting QUERY_STRING, moving the 3rd piece into a file (which I don't see that 3rd piece in your code).
AAAHHH!! I've made a perl program that you can run on a web browser. This program needs to be run everyday, and I don't want to have to run it everyday. The problem is when I try running the program from my terminal, all it does is print stuff to the terminal page (the program involves a lot of... (4 Replies)

bb-ack.cgi
BB-ACK.CGI(1) General Commands Manual BB-ACK.CGI(1)NAME
bb-ack.cgi - Xymon CGI script to acknowledge alerts
SYNOPSIS
bb-ack.cgi?ACTION=action&NUMBER=acknum&DELAY=validity&MESSAGE=text
DESCRIPTION
bb-ack.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the bb-ack.sh CGI wrapper.
bb-ack.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the ACTION, NUMBER, DELAY and MESSAGE parameters.
PARAMETERS
ACTION is the action to perform. The only supported action is "Ack" to acknowledge an alert.
NUMBER is the number identifying the host/service to be acknowledged. It is included in all alert-messages sent out by Xymon.
DELAY is the time (in minutes) that the acknowledge is valid.
MESSAGE is an optional text which will be shown on the status page while the acknowledgment is active. You can use it to e.g. tell users
not to contact you about the problem, or inform them when the problem is expected to be resolved.
OPTIONS --no-pin
bb-ack.cgi normally requires the user to enter the acknowledgment code received in an alert message. If you run it with this option,
the user will instead get a list of the current non-green statuses, and he may send an acknowledge without knowing the code.
--no-cookies
Normally, bb-ack.cgi uses a cookie sent by the browser to initially filter the list of hosts presented. If this is not desired, you
can turn off this behaviour by calling bb-ack.cgi with the --no-cookies option. This would normally be placed in the CGI_ACK_OPTS
setting in hobbitcgi.cfg(5)--env=FILENAME
Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing the CGI script.
--debug
Enables debugging output.
FILES
$BBHOME/web/acknowledge_header
HTML header file for the generated web page
$BBHOME/web/acknowledge_footer
HTML footer file for the generated web page
$BBHOME/web/acknowledge_form
Query form displayed when bb-ack.cgi is called with no parameters.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
BBHOME Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages.
QUERY_STRING
Contains the parameters for the CGI script.
BUGS
When using alternate pagesets, hosts will only show up on the acknowledgment page if this is accessed from the primary page in which they
are defined. So if you have hosts on multiple pages, they will only be visible for acknowledging from their main page which is not what you
would expect.
