Uploading using CGI

Does your script only an update of an news.html file?
like a content manager or does it create a dynamic newspage from an database,flatfile?

In the last case, just link in the img tags and make sure that the images are in the correct library on the server.
In the first case, you need to attach and upload the pictures to the server.  (well, you can always use ftp too, or your own favorite uploadtool)

best of times!

I think I have a problem. I don't have perl 5. How could I go about getting it

It seems very unlikely that your host will provide CGI but not Perl.

That said:
* http://www.perl.org/
* http://www.activestate.com/ (Windows version)

He didn't say no perl, he said no perl 5. Perhaps an older version?

Either way, change host.

I find it hard to believe they don't provide Perl 5 - it was released in early 1993!

And if the provider does have Perl 4, then I would be running away from them as quick as I could.

I meant that I don't have perl 5 on my system. I don't know what version my inet server has

If you want to develop Perl/CGI scripts on your own system, I would suggest installing IndigoPerl.

The package contains Perl 5 and a pre-configured Apache server that will allow you to start writing Perl/CGI scripts straight away.

I'm using IIS. and don't really want to switch to apache right now

Then use asp.

try any of these links:

http://www.taka.nl/programming/asp/pseudorequest/default.asp

or www.aspfaqs.com


let me know if you need more info or an example.

can't use asp cause the company I host with is UNIX based

?? I may not have read the whole post. your last one says "I'm using IIS". If you use UNIX (LINUX?) then it will have Perl 5 installed but do you have access to a cgi-bin within your hosting space?

If you are using IIS, then just install ActiveState Perl
