Neylon # mneylon-pm@masemware.com # # Creates a 'notes-to-self' page, which you can write notes to yourself, # and also delete those notes after you no longer need them. Ideal use # would be for one with multiple connect points to the internet (work & # home), and with own private server that you want to drop notes onto. # Note that there is NO security built into this module; this should be # done at the server level. # # Requires nothing beyond a standard perl install (uses CGI.pm). # # Configuration options: # $notes_dir : Location of directory where data should be stored from # the script. This *should* be absolute unless you know # for sure what directory your scripts start up in. # # Suggestions/Ideas/Comments please email me at mneylon-pm@masemware.com # ###################### use strict; use CGI; #### CONFIGURATION #### # $notes_dir : Location of directory where data should be stored from # the script.
