Hi, I am attempting to setup a custom CGI-BIN folder for use with PERL scripts to access a remote mysql server to replace setting such as IP configuration and various other settings like wi-fi settings and hostnames, etc... however my first attempt was not very successful. My test script only displays the contents of the file like it was a text document.<br />
<br />
In a nutshell, I am attempting to build a central settings repository that is configurable from a web based interface.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />

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.
