The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Perl 5 re-direct script - having trouble

Asked by kpu8 in Perl Programming Language, CGI Scripting

Tags: Perl5, Perl, CGI

All,

I'm trying to create a cgi file so that when my html form data is equal to salespromo a certain html page is shown - otherwise the page just shows the home page still.

The code below however is not working - and I'm getting a server 500 error - however I don't have rights to the error log so troubleshooting is a bit tough - however I don't even know if I'm going about this the right way.

My thought was to keep the code server side in cgi (perl 5) so that the promo code would not be well known as it will be part of a super secret mailing!

The code for my page which the html simple form calls is below as is the cgi-lib.pl script which contains some of the simple subroutines I'm using
