( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Can someone please give a detailed tutorial on how to embed Perl in HTML? This means give specific instructions on what to download, where to download it, what files I need to download, and how I would somehow put that into my HTML file.

My code is:

# "E:\My Vaults\My Vault\Perl\happy.pl" # Displays a warm greeting. print "What is your name? "; my $name = <STDIN>; chomp($name); print "Hello, $name! I am a computer! Austin is my author! He created +this Perl quiz!\n"; # User greets the computer. print "Please greet me so I know I am welcome.\n"; my $greet = <STDIN>; # Displays difference between ages. chomp($greet); print "$greet to you, too. What year were you born in, $name? "; my $dob = <STDIN>; if (($dob eq '')) { print "Hey! Why won't you answer?\n"; } if (($dob < 1996)) { my $difference = 1997 - $dob; chomp($difference); print "You are $difference years older than my author, Austin.\n"; } if (($dob > 1998)) { my $difference = $dob - 1997; chomp($difference); print "You are $difference years younger than my author, Austin.\n +"; } if (($dob == 1998)) { my $difference = $dob - 1997; chomp($difference); print "You are $difference year younger than my author, Austin.\n" +; } if (($dob == 1996)) { my $difference = 1997 - $dob; chomp($difference); print "You are $difference year older than my author, Austin.\n"; } if (($dob == 1997)) { print "You are the same age as my author, Austin!\n"; } # Asks favorite color. print "How many people live in your house with you? "; my $housenum = <STDIN>; if (($housenum == 5)) { print "5 people live in my author's house, too!\n"; } if (($housenum != 5)) { print "Oh. There are 5 people living in my author's house.\n"; } chomp($name); print "Good bye, $name!\n";

Thanks!

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