I want to execute a perl script and pass a parameter. In the script, I want to capture the parameter (and validate it). If not valid, then I will handle by printing a message and exiting. I have read similar petitions and suggestions and tried them, but cannot get it to work (HELP!). See below for a code snippet:
#make the call:
http://www.test.com/myscript.cgi?id=1234
***Below is the snippet from myscript.cgi:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
$myvalue = param("test"); print "<HTML>\n";
print "<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF>\n";
print "<CENTER>\n";
print "myvalue: $myvalue";
print "</CENTER>\n";
print "</BODY></HTML>";

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
