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!

Basic Perl / CGI-BIN question

Asked by amoran in Perl Programming Language, CGI Scripting

Tags: ,

Hi

I have a .pl file in my cgi-bin directory of my website and I it displays properly (i.e. it says 'Hello World see the code below)
I want to reference scripts in my html but when i try with my html file (below) it displays nothing (well is says 'Code executes below ...' but nothing else.

Any ideas?
Thanks
AM

test.html --------------------------

<html><head><title>CGI Test Page</title></head><body>
Code executes below ...<br>
<b><!--#exec cgi="../cgi-bin/hello.pl" --></b><br>
</body></html>


hello.pl ----------------------------------------

#!/usr/bin/perl
# It's always a good idea to use the strict pragma while developing
# Perl code, it makes Perl warn about dangerous code
use strict;

# We're also going to include the CGI module, so that we can take
# advantage of other programmer's efforts (One of Larry Wall's basic
# tennants is that programmers are fundamentally lazy -- he's probably
# right, but I can't be bothered to prove it right now)
use CGI;

# instantiate a new CGI object
my $cgi = new CGI;

# perform a single print statement, with liberal use of the perl
# string concatenator "." and some CGI methods
print
   $cgi->header .
   $cgi->start_html('Hello World!') .
   $cgi->h1('Hello World!') .
   $cgi->end_html;

# Tell the webserver everything is fine
exit (0);
