Just being picky here but...

use CGI;

But you didn't.

$/ = "\n";

All very well, but $/ will be this anyway, most people use "\n%%\n" as their cookie file delimiter so they can format them to 76 chars/line or whatever so as to fit them in emails as well.

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n\n";

But you're printing out a badly formed html document unless each and every cookie starts <html> etc...

A better solution would be:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use CGI; my $output; my $data = '/path/to/cookies.txt'; my $query = CGI::new(); open COOKIES, "<$data" or die "Cannot open cookie file: $!"; $/ = "\n%%\n"; rand($.) < 1 && ($output = $_) while <COOKIES>; # for plain text: print $query->header('text/plain'); print $output; # or for html print $query->header('text/html'); print $query->start_html('Cookies'); print $output; print $query->end_html;

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
