sure you can do that.<br />
<br />
lets say you want to write to a file (/tmp/out.txt)<br />
<br />
open(tmp, &quot;&gt;/tmp/out.txt&quot;) || die $!;<br />
<br />
## You can change the currently selected filehandle with the select function. <br />
## This function takes a single filehandle (or a scalar<br />
## variable containing the name of a filehandle) as an argument. Once the ## currently selected filehandle is changed, it affects all<br />
## future operations that depend on the currently selected filehandle.<br />
<br />
select (tmp);<br />
<br />
print&lt;&lt;HTML; <br />
blah,blah <br />
HTML <br />
close(tmp);<br />
<br />
## NOTE: The select operation is sticky; once you've selected a new handle, ## it stays in effect until the next select.<br />
select (STDOUT);<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
In my cgi scripts, I use code like<br />
###################<br />
print&lt;&lt;HTML;<br />
blah,blah<br />
HTML<br />
####################<br />
to print to a web page.<br />
<br />
Is it possible to use similar code to write to a file.??<br />
<br />
Rather than<br />
print...<br />
print...<br />
over and over &nbsp;again.<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />

Cgi write to file

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
