I have a little experience using the perl CGI module for CGI programs, but this application doesn't need to be a CGI program, as it is not to be invoked by a web browser. Do I use the perl CGI module anyway, or just code the html generation with my own raw perl print statements, or is there something else ( some other perl module) ?<BR /><BR /> - John Mon, 17 Oct 2005 18:54:01 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/perl-to-create-html/m-p/3651248#M102428 John Kittel 2005-10-17T18:54:01Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/perl-to-create-html/m-p/3651249#M102429 If it's not executed by the web server, just write a perl program that generates html output.<BR /><BR />Alex.
