Hi, I will try to write a small program which
1) get a webpage from a url
2) check some patterns or do sth.
3) display the result to user via browser.

However, I had problems dealing with the display of feedback. So I tested this small code:

#--------------------------------
#! /usr/bin/perl -w 
use CGI;
use LWP::Simple;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

$url = "http://www.yahoo.com";
my $webpage = get($url);
print $webpage;

print<<_HTMLEND;
    <HTML>
    <BODY>
        <H1> hello </H1>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
_HTMLEND
#-----------------------------------------
[download]

It does work if I run it in the console using "perl test.pl", but it is not working as a cgi program, basically I cannot display anything in the browser, even it is just a "hello" here.
Anything wrong? or my idea is wrong
Can anyone help me? Thank you<

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.
