( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I am trying to open a new browser.
#!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<INPUT type=\"button\" value=\"New Window\" onClick=\"window.op +en('test.html')\">";

test.html is in the same directory as the perl script. when the button is clicked. I get internal server error with following msg in the log

Fri Dec 3 09:04:19 2010 error (8)Exec format error: exec of /mydir/tools/cgi-bin/test.html failed.

Fri Dec 3 09:04:19 2010 error client 17.70.54.765 Premature end of script headers: /mydir/tools/cgi-bin/test.html

Thanks for your help

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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.
