Thanks for your reply.

I just want to create a 'Windows'-type environment for the visitors of my website.

I was looking for a way whereby each user would NOT have to set the $Display var on their individual terminals. I also needed to be able to have this graphical interface to be available to various platforms.

My understanding now, is that it is not that simple and using this interface in this uncontrolled arena may possibly open up a security 'hole' (I'm not exactly sure how, but may provide access to the shell?).

What are your thoughts?

Thanx. --newbie00

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.
