4.15 perl -- A programming Language

4.15 perl -- A programming Language

Look at these two books:

• Programming in perl and
•   CGI Programming.

• http://www.ora.com/publishing/perl/resource.htm.
• http://www.cpan.org.

 
• s2p -- for converting sed programs to perl
• a2p -- for converting awk programs to perl

In this lab I would like you to:

1. Create the directory cgi-bin in your existing directory ~/public_html/.
2. Make this new directory your working directory.
3. copy over perl.cgi from the ftp site:
   ftp://lt.tucson.az.us/pub/perl.cgi or from /home/cis137/perl.cgi

   cp /home/cis137/perl.cgi .
   

4. Place perl.cgi and the sed and awk data files in your directory public_html/cgi-bin directory.
5. Set the permissions so that you can run the program as a CGI script. Set the data files to world readable. When the program is run it will not be run as you.
6. Modify the program so that it does the last part of the awk lab, NOT the awk program that I wrote.
7. Add your name and the class number, "CIS137", to your output.
8. Turn in a printed output of your results from a web browser. The URL to access your page will be:

   http://gort.wcn.pima.edu/~user-name/cgi-bin/perl.cgi
