I wrote a Perl program which searches and manipulates one text file. This CGI process slurps the file directly into memory, manipulates the file based on the User's input, then generates the HTML result. It works functional wise. However, I know that once I deploy on high volume server, it will not be able to respond in due time. I sus...

I have a CGI script that takes a really long time to execute. Long story short, it needs to process a lot of data, run a bunch of slow commands, and make some slow web queries, during which time it doesn't output anything, and when it's done, it finally prints its results out in JSON format. It takes several minutes to run, which is long...

I'm trying to run an Icecast stream using a simple Python script to pick a random song from the list of songs on the server. I'm looking to add a voting/request interface, and my host allows use of python to serve webpages through CGI. However, I'm getting hung up on just how to get the GET arguments supplied by the user.

I have access to a shared web host. The website installed there uses exec(). About 4 months ago the function was enabled, but now they have put it on the disable_functions list. They put exec, passthru and shell_exec on that list but they forgot to put system:) This makes me think that the server admin is not very aware on what he's doi...

I've been learning about the CGI module lately, and the book I'm using shows there are two ways you can use CGI, function-oriented or object-oriented. They say the benefit of having object-oriented is only to be able to create two CGI objects. First of all is this true, and are there any other benefits, and secondly what example is there...
OK first of all, I am a PHP programmer but I have never done anything with CGI and don't know what it is. I know it stands for Common Gateway Interface, but I do not know what it does or what its for. I was just told that I can upload a shell script to my cgi-bin folder and execute it. I made a shell script myscript.sh and uploaded it ...

I am a nembie to CGI with Perl, please do help me out and please do correct me wherever I have committed a mistake. This is the code. The problem is that after the password is validated and found as correct, instead of redirecting to the next page it is giving this message: Status: 302 Found Location: http://localhost/cgi-bin/Main.cgi ...
My problem is the following. After the password is recognized as valid I need to redirect to main.cgi but I am getting the message as: Status: 302 Found Location: http://localhost/cgi-bin/Main.cgi I know the reason for this is that I am writing this statement after Content-Type so it is taking this as HTML and printing it on screen. I...

Therefore, I would also like to make a "read-only" front end in PHP, which will make the experience "normal" for everyday use (i.e only editing [the database] and authe...

The script works perfectly when run through the command console (Windows XP) but the same exact script, no chan...
