apache - First cgi script in perl and don't know what it does -


i new perl , looking cgi programs.
tried following perl monks , works. have no idea does.
1) end_here? followed html? : 

print <<end_here;    <html>     <head>       <title>my first cgi script</title>     </head>     <body bgcolor="#ffffcc">       <h1>this pretty lame web page</h1>       <p>who ovid guy, anyway?</p>      </body>    </html>   end_here

2) modified sample script adding: 

my $query = new cgi;   $p= $query->param('myparam');

i.e. new script is: 

#!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe -wt use strict; use cgi;  $query = new cgi;   print $query->header( "text/html" );  $time = $query->param('fromdate');  print <<end_here;      <html>        <head>          <title>my first cgi script $time</title>        </head>        <body bgcolor="#ffffcc">          <h1>this pretty lame web page</h1>         <p>who ovid guy, anyway?</p>       </body>      </html>   end_here     # must have line after "end_here" or perl won't recognize # token

it stopped working. following error message:

undefined subroutine &main::param called @ c:/.../test2.cgi line 10.

how can parameters send browser if not way?

... <<end_here ... foo bar end_here

means

... "foo bar " ...

the choice of terminator you. can use bareword or string if add quotes. both following equivalent "foo\nbar\n":

<<meow foo bar meow  <<"and lived happily ever after." foo bar , lived happily ever after.

the script posted has 2 problems, neither of them resulting in error specified.

  1. perl can't find end of here-doc since no line contains solely end_here. have 1 contains end_here whole bunch of leading spaces, that's not same thing. remove leading spaces.

  2. it allows arbitrary string placed in html. escape (using, say, html::entities's encode_entities)! consider happens if passes following fromdate parameter:

    <script>alert("owned")</script>

i've adapted css use in website , can't quite figure out why 1 aspect of page acting way acting. basically, when shrink window below size horizontally, of text "drops down". becomes issue if user viewing website through ipad vertical orientation. can view issue here . i'm hoping make if window gets smaller, placement of text remains intact. the problem area not have enough space put both side navigation , content on 1 line. make automatically adjust page's width when exceeds decrements of width. this code example, , highly unlikely work. if see css more clearly, provide exact code. @media , (max-width:960px) { /* assuming #wrapper 960px across */ #content {width:560px;} /* opposed 720px */ } edit the content drops down @ 980px, have shrink width after there. @media , (max-width:980px) { #container {width:520px;} }
