Shell Programming and Scripting

I am in the process of developing a perl cgi page.
I had succeeded in developing the page but there are few errors/issues with the page.

description about cgi page:

My CGI page retrieves all the file names from an directory and displays the files in drop down menu for downloading the required file.
Error 1:

Code:

Content-Type:application/x-download Content-Disposition:attachment;filename= 
is displayed on the screen

Error 2:

Code:

I am able to display the dropdown box and my drop down doesnt contain anything. It failed to retreive the files from the directory.
But if I make the seperate code for this.... it worked.
     If placed in my cgi program  not able to get the files.

I have attached the screenshots of the web page.
And also attaching the complete code.

Could you please let me know how to come out of this issues.

Tons of thanks....!!!

I think you ended your header too soon with "\n\n". Perhaps you meant "\r\n", so later when you term the http header, use "\r\n\r\n".

Thanks DGPickett ...

I tried with the change that you had suggested but no luck .....

and

Code:

Content-Type:application/x-download Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=

was printed directly on the webpage.

Could you please let me know what went wrong ....

Can you try checking the value of $ID before using it.

thanks shreedhar....

I had placed few excel files in a folder and trying to catching the files in select tag in cgi perl.

But I am not able to capture the files in select-options dynamically.
files are stored in array. If I print the array( @files : files are stored into this array ) all the file names are displayed on the webpage.

not sure what went wrong.. trying to solve this issue since 5 days but no luck..

i ask you to check below few things:

"C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Apache2.2\\reports\\";
"c:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/Reports/";

* check the // \ in the above path names.


open(DLFILE, "<$files_location/$ID") || Error('open', 'file');
@fileholder = <DLFILE>;


*Check the above line once wat is the acutal o/p?
